Judgment of the great whore – part 3
After reminding us of the 1260 year period of Papal supremacy, Pastor Flemons talked about the woman sitting upon a scarlet colored beast full of the names of blasphemy mentioned in Revelation 17:3.
As a beast represents a kingdom according to Daniel 7:23, the woman which is a church would be controlling the state. As she is a whore, this would not be God’s church. It is none other than the Roman Catholic church where the Pope sits as head of church and state in the country of the Vatican. This power persecuted God’s people that chose to follow the Bible and place scripture above the church.
Being full of the names of blasphemy can be understood by the Bible teaching of blasphemy. Mark 2:7 states, “Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?” Therefore, for a man to claim to have power on earth to forgive sin is blasphemy. Christ was God on earth and therefore, He is not guilty of this great sin. However, the Pope’s claim to have the power to absolve a person of sin is blasphemy. Another characteristic is found in John 10:33 which states, “The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.” Jesus was not guilty of blasphemy because He was God. However, the pope is not God on earth as his title claims. Thus he is guilty of blasphemy against God.
The five needs of the cell – by pastor Shelem Flemons
Luke 16:10 tells us that if we are faithful in that which is least, we will be faithful also in much. Cells group together to make tissue. Tissue groups together to make organs. Organs group together to make systems. All the systems group together to make the body. Therefore, if the cell is healthy the whole body will be healthy. The lifestyle of Biblical wellness is the lifestyle that provides the cell with its five needs.
The five needs of the cell are listed below.
- 1. Oxygen
- 2. Water
- 3. Nutrition
- 4. Waste Elimination
- 5. Defense System
Without oxygen, the cell will die in minutes. Without water, the cell will die in days. Without nutrition, the cells die in weeks. Without waste elimination, the cells die in months. Without a defense system, the cells always die prematurely.

When Prayer Is Greatly Needed -Chapter 43
Power of prayer book pages 90-92
A vast responsibility is devolving upon men and women of prayer throughout the land to petition that God will sweep back the cloud of evil and give a few more years of grace in which to work for the Master. Let us cry to God that the angels may hold the four winds until missionaries shall be sent to all parts of the world and shall proclaim the warning against disobeying the law of Jehovah. Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5 p. 717, 718
Satan leads many to believe that prayer to God is useless and but a form. He well knows how needful are meditation and prayer to keep Christ’s followers aroused to resist his cunning and deception. Testimonies for the Church, vol. 1 p. 295
All are accountable for their actions while in this world upon probation. All have power to control their actions if they will. If they are weak in virtue and purity of thoughts and acts, they can obtain help from the Friend of the helpless. Jesus is acquainted with all the weaknesses of human nature, and, if entreated, will give strength to overcome the most powerful temptations. All can obtain this strength if they seek for it in humility. Child Guidance, pp. 466, 467
Sincere repentance before God will be accepted. When about to speak passionately, close your mouth. Don’t utter a word. Pray before you speak, and heavenly angels will come to your assistance and drive back the evil angels, who would lead you to dishonor God, reproach His cause, and weaken your own soul. Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 2 p. 82
