A sermon by a Catholic priest and professor at a pontifical university seems at first glance to be somewhat confusing. But with a second look it becomes clear that the “clergyman” of the Church of Rome only confirms the “God” who is actually secretly worshiped.

The “Catholic Kingdom of Christ”
A rather adventurous interpretation of the Bible’s prophecies enables the construction of a new type of “theology”. In this case, and as so often, a Roman Catholic “theology”. Don Aldo Vendemiati, priest and professor at the Faculty of Arts of the Pontifical Urban University, preached on the importance of Jesus as King (Source). Vendemiati asks what it means that Christ is King.
The priest points to the apparent discrepancy between the kingdom of Christ, a kingdom “of truth, of life, the kingdom of holiness and grace, of justice, of love and peace,” and the conditions in this world. The kingdom doesn’t seem to exist. Even reading the Gospel shows that the kingdom of Christ cannot exist.
When questioned by Pontius Pilate, Jesus replied that his kingdom is not of this world (John 18:33-37). If Jesus were from this world, his people would have fought for him. Thus, the kingdom of Jesus is “on a different wavelength,” on a completely different level, according to the priest.
The professor at the Pontifical University mentions the prophecy according to Daniel 7:3-14. It was about the kingdom of Christ and spoke of “dominion, dignity and kingship”. But you have to be careful here, because Daniel’s vision is a “vision during the night”. This means that this is not a reality that is not visible within worldly things.
Only incomprehensible at first glance
On the one hand, it’s terribly wrong, but on the other hand, it’s also revealing. Daniel did not speak of the kingdom of Christ at all in chapter 7. It would be easy to verify the statement of this professor at a papal university by reading the chapter yourself. In this chapter Daniel sees the sequence of different, sometimes strange, animals. The passage mentioned by the Catholic priest describes a lion with eagle’s wings, followed by a bear with three ribs in its mouth.
This was followed by a panther with four heads and four bird wings. The fourth animal in the sequence is not described in detail in terms of its overall appearance. But details such as “large iron teeth”, extremely strong, trampling everything, with 10 horns and – most importantly – another small horn that comes out and pulls out three of the larger horns. This little horn had “eyes like human eyes” and a mouth that spoke big things.
Only from verse 14 onwards is it described that the Son of Man (verse 13) is given dominion, honor and kingship.
Succession of different world empires
In fact, this is the succession of ancient empires that Daniel saw coming. The prophet himself experienced the power of Babylon (first beast, the lion). Daniel also experienced the takeover of the Empire of Babylon by the Medo-Persians (second beast, the bear).
The future involved the third beast (Panther). This is a representation of the Empire of Greece, initially under Alexander the Great. The fourth beast with the iron teeth describes the Empire of Rome. Everything is historically proven. Also historically proven is the smooth transition from the Roman Empire to the Papacy, described in Daniel as the little horn that speaks great things.
Empires established by Satan
These four animals have nothing remotely to do with the kingdom of Jesus Christ. How on earth does the priest and professor at a pontifical university come to the conclusion that the sequence in Daniel 7:3-14 is the “Kingdom of Christ”? The answer is simple and described in Revelation 13:1-2 (Info):
“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.“
The four empires, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Imperial Rome, were nothing more than the established world powers of the adversary. Each world empire represents one of the heads of the same beast. The papacy with the Roman Catholic Church is the continuation of the fourth beast and thus the fifth beast according to Revelation 17, or another head of the entire beast (Info).
The “inverted Christ”
First and foremost, the word “Christian” means nothing other than the “anointed one.” In Hebrew, “Messiah.” But who is the “anointed one” for the Roman Catholic Church? It is not Jesus Christ, but their self-defined “Christian”, the adversary of God, in the form of the “Sun God” Mithras (Info). v
For this reason, the Catholic priest’s claim makes perfect sense. The “great art” of this church is to package its secret worship of Satan as Christian and thus completely deceive tens of millions of devout Catholics. For those deceived people, the very last call is in Revelation 18:4:
Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
