Who is the "Whore" of Revelation?
by J.T.C.
"The church
today is grass ...
and a huge
lawnmower is coming straight at it, singing hymns."
His time is
running out. Satan has thrown up a cloud of religious
"smokescreens" to hide preparations for his last evil
assault on Christ's bride, the church. In this book, Jack
Chick warns the church by systematically sweeping away the
smoke to reveal Satan's wicked works.
Thousands have
heard Jack Chick deliver this timely message on cassette
tape. Now, here it is in paperback with
photographic
documentation!
After hearing
the tape, here is what people
are saying:
"I am speechless over your tape SMOKESCREENS. Talk about
something that will wake you up!" R.M., Humbolt, KS
"SMOKESCREENS put it all into a nutshell and made everything
so easy to understand." P.C., Rye, NY
"I couldn't keep my eyes from watering nor could I keep from
becoming righteously angry." D.F., Lewisville, AR
INTRODUCTION
Greetings in
the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
What you are
going to read in this book is absolutely devastating. The
information and the facts we're going to present are going
to change your life. Be patient with me and please follow
through to the end of the book. You'll never be the same.
Most of you
know from studying your Bibles that Satan will build a false
superchurch ... the whore of Revelation, chapters 6, 13, 17
and 18. According to Bible prophecy, she will have great
political, economic, military, and educational power, and
she will persecute and murder the true believers in Christ.
I always used
to wonder how Satan would be able to pull this off right
under Christians' noses without them being aware of what was
happening, and fighting back. But Satan is the master
deceiver and I am beginning to see how he has cleverly set
up smokescreens to hide the identity of the whore from the
majority of Christian believers.
Let me explain
what I mean by a smokescreen. In warfare, you have enemy
action. When they're moving in, they set up a smokescreen.
And the smoke confuses everyone so that you don't know where
your enemies are. That's one technique. The other is a fifth
column where you have a country that's about to fall. So you
send in agents and they wear the people down saying it's
hopeless, or saying, no, the enemy isn't really going to
attack. And they in a sense, put up their own smokescreens
to confuse the issue before the assault comes.
I believe an
assault is coming by the whore of Revelation. I believe they
are setting up smokescreens, and that there are others
within the Christian community that are setting up
smokescreens. Now, we believe at Chick Publications, that
the whore of Revelation is the Roman Catholic Institution.
Our position is not something new. During the Reformation
you had men like Martin Luther, John Knox, Calvin, a great
number of them; and then the great preachers like Moody,
Finney, Spurgeon and so on, they all believed the same
thing, that the Vatican was the whore. It wasn't until
lately that things have changed.
You see, the
Jesuits influenced people and they started setting up
smokescreens during our times, through our theological
seminaries, and when that smokescreen came up we started
seeing the whore of Revelation in a different light. They
said, "Oh, no, this is something coming in the future." Or,
"That happened 'way back in the past.'" This is done to
confuse the Christians. Today, many people believe this.
They have been beguiled like I was when I first listened to
some of these people. It was a clever smokescreen. I was
confused at first, but now I see the whore in her fullness,
and it is scary.
I want to show
you in this book some of her activities in the past, what
she's doing today and what her ultimate goal is for the
future. Some will be overwhelmed when they hear this
message, but I believe with all my heart that this
information must be told. People must be aware of what's
going on and how Satan is working to destroy the work of
God in these closing hours.
There has
been a multi-million dollar campaign made through the media
to convince people that I am a bigoted, anti-Catholic, hate
literature publisher. And do you know something? They have
been very effective in convincing people that this is what I
am. The truth is, I love the Catholic people enough to risk
my life and my business to reach them with the gospel of
Christ to pull them out of the false religious system
they're now serving. I know what this system has done in the
past and what it is planning for the future. I believe
you'll understand when I've finished this message, where I'm
coming from. But before we get started, let's go into prayer.
