Why The Blood Of Jesus Is Precious; The Wolf And The Lamb Live Together In Peace; No Cemeteries, Funeral Homes, Or Hospitals During The Millennium; The Ibrahimi Mosque That Covers The Cave Of Machpelah; I See Jesus In The Sunrise And Sunset

Why The Blood Of Jesus Is Precious

     The blood of Jesus Christ is precious because it was the purchase price paid to the devil that redeemed (bought back lost sinners sold under sin) and freed them for ever from sin and death. The price for the blood of Jesus Christ was 30 pieces of silver paid to a devil named Judas Isacariot who betrayed Jesus with a kiss. 1 Peter 1:18 says Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot. 

     In other words a price had to be paid to free lost sinners from the devil and sin. The precious blood of Jesus was the redemption price that was paid to the devil to free lost sinners. According to Revelation 12:11 the precious blood of the Lamb Jesus overcame, destroyed, and defeated the devil for ever. On this earth people pay millions of dollars to buy mansions, yachts, cars, and expensive jewelry. Likewise in heaven, a person named Jesus had to pay the price of His own blood to purchase for saved saints a city of pure gold clear glass with a street of pure gold transparent glass (on this earth people fight about gold; in heaven saints will walk on gold). 

     This city (New Jerusalem) that Jesus purchased with His own blood is worth more than anything on this earth. The walls of this city are of jasper where the gates are made of pearls. The foundations of this city have all manner of expensive gemstones in a gold cube that is 1500 miles long, wide, and high. Therefore the foundations of the city would display 3000 yards square (length plus width) of precious gemstones. These huge gemstones of sardius (red), jasper and diamond (orange), chrysolite, topaz, and beryl (yellow), chrysoprasus, carbuncle, and emerald (greeen), chalcedony, agate, and sapphire (blue), jacinth and ligure (indigo), and amethyst (violet), create a beautiful rainbow that surrounds the kingdom of God. Revelation 4:3 says And He (the Lord Jesus) that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

     Somebody asked the angel at the gate of heaven "What did all the blessings of heaven cost? It must have cost somebody something. Somebody had to pay a huge price to purchase all the glory of heaven." The angel replied "It did. It cost the Lord Jesus Christ a lot to purchase heaven. Jesus paid His own blood and gave His life to purchase heaven for lost sinners that got saved." Jesus paid His own blood to redeem you from sin and give you peace for ever in heaven if you get saved. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again.

Let The Redeemed Of The Lord Say So

Redeemed By The Precious Blood Of Jesus

     Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Jesus redeemed and bought back sinners to God with His own blood that He shed at the cross. Jesus was willing to pay the price of His own blood shed at the cross of Calvary to free anyone from sin and redeem them to God. Pictured above we see a bible verse that tells us to sing and say praises to the Lord Jesus for redeeming us to God with His own blood. 

     Psalm 107:2 says Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He hath redeemed (by his precious blood) from the hand of the enemy. If you are redeemed by the blood of Jesus say so and witness Jesus everywhere. Tell people everywhere to get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for them, was buried, and rose again.

     Right now in heaven they forever sing praises about how the blood of the Lord Jesus redeemed sinners to God and made them kings and priests. If they're singing about the blood of Jesus in heaven, let's all sing about the blood of Jesus on this earth. Click this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nEvWfCduBw and sing with Kelly Willard the blessed song Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus.

     Revelation 5:9 says that saints sing about the blood of Jesus in heaven. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou (Jesus) art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation. And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Right now sing the above bible verse at Revelation 5:9 and praise the Lord Jesus for redeeming us to God with His own precious blood shed at the cross of Calvary. If they're singing about the blood of Jesus in heaven, we should sing about the blood of Jesus on this earth.

     Jesus loved us so much that He took His own blood that He shed on the cross of Calvary and offered it to God on the mercy seat in heaven to free us from sin and death. Hebrews 9:12 says that Jesus took His own blood that He shed on the cross of Calvary and offered it to God to free us from sin. Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood He (Jesus) entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

The Wolf And The Lamb Will Live In Peace Together During The Millennium

     Pictured above notice that the wolf and the lamb will live in peace together when Jesus is the king of this earth during the millennium. When the Lord Jesus is king of this earth for 1000 years during the millennium, all the animals (wolves, lambs, snakes, and polar bears) will live together in peace. Isaiah 65:25 says The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord. The serpents will only eat dust and harm no one. The lions and bears will be tame and harm no one. The gorillas and sharks will be tame and harm no one.

      Isaiah 11:6 says The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

     Soon the Lord Jesus will be the king of this earth for a thousand years during the millennium. Revelation 20:6 promises that saved saints will be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Jesus a thousand years. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

No Cemeteries, Funeral Homes, Hospitals, And Old Age Nursing Homes

During The Millennium And In Heaven Forever

     During the millennium with Jesus, if someone asks Where are the cemeteries and the funeral homes? The saved saints will say that there are none because no one dies with Jesus. If someone asks Where are the hospitals? The saved saints will say that there are none because no one gets sick or is crippled when Jesus is on this earth during the millennium. If someone asks Where are the old age nursing homes? The saved saints will say that there are none because no one gets old with Jesus. 

     Isaiah 35:5 says Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert (when Jesus is on this earth for 1000 years even the desert will have streams). Jacob will no longer limp, Isaac will no longer be blind, Leah will no longer be bleary eyed, and Mephibosheth will no longer be lame.

     Everything will prosper and come to life when Jesus is king of this earth for 1000 glorious years. Isaiah 65:20 says There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. 

      During the millennium with Jesus, saved saints with glorified bodies will live on this earth with saved and unsaved people in natural bodies. The people in the natural bodies will not age and a hundred year old person will have the strength of a young child, while a hundred year old sinners will be accursed for not getting saved with Jesus. It's amazing that when Jesus is King of this earth during the millennium, multitudes of people will reject Jesus and be cast into the lake of fire.

     In other words when Jesus is king on this earth for 1000 years, it will be like the garden of Eden again and people will live for 969 years like Methuselah. Jesus will bring life, health, and peace to everything for 1000 years. Isaiah 32:15 says Until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest. In other words with Jesus on this earth, the watermelons, apples, and strawberries will grow so large that they will be like a forest. During the millennium, the wilderness will be like the garden of Eden. Isaiah 51:3 says For the Lord shall comfort Zion, he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

The Blessed Promise Of Isaiah 35:4

     Isaiah 35:1 says The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God. Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance; even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.

     During the millennium if someone asks the saved saints Where do you go to church? The saved saints will say we go up to Jerusalem during the feast of tabernacles to worship the King named Jesus. They will proclaim Isaiah 6:1 I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and His train (hem of Jesus' robe) filled the temple while a great choir sings All hail the power of Jesus name; let angels prostrate fall; bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all.

     During the millennium's feast of tabernacles, if a nation does not worship the Lord Jesus, that nation will be plagued with no rain. Zechariah 14:17 says And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

The Ibrahimi Mosque That Covers The Cave Of Machpelah

Won't Stop Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, and Leah From 

Rising Out Of Their Graves To Serve The Lord Jesus During The Millennium

     Pictured above is what the cave of Machpelah looks like today in 2026. You might say Brother Bob why can't I see the cave of Machpelah in the picture above? The reason you can't see the cave of Machpelah is because a Muslim mosque named Ibrahimi seen above has been built on the top of the blessed tombs of the patriarchs and matriarchs. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, and Leah are all buried in the cave of Machpelah that is also called the cave of the patriarchs and matriarchs. The only matriarch missing from the cave of Machpelah is Rachel, who is believed to be buried near Bethlehem, where she died during childbirth. Joseph also is not buried in the cave of  Machpelah because Joseph was buried in Shechem much later after the children of Israel came out of Egypt and returned to the promised land. 

     The Muslim mosque of Ibrahimi is sitting on top of the cave of Machpelah and the tombs of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebekah, and Leah. Today in 2026, the Muslims have forbidden any entrance into the cave of Machpelah to view the patriarchs' and matriarchs' tombs. But Brother Bob has news for these Muslims. The Al Aqsa Mosque, the Dome of the Rock, the Mosque of Omar, and the Ibrahimi Mosque that covers the tombs of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebekah, and Leah will not stop the saints from rising out of their graves during the rapture to serve the Lord Jesus during the millennium on this earth and in the kingdom of God.

     The Al Aqsa Mosque, the Dome of the Rock, and the Mosque of Omar will disappear when the Jews rebuild the third temple. This must occur because during the tribulation the beast antichrist will enter the rebuilt third temple to make the abomination of desolation with the image of the beast. This image of the beast will try to force people to take a mark with the number 666 to buy or sell during the tribulation.

     The following scriptures show us who is currently buried at the cave of Machpelah. Genesis 25:7 proves that Abraham is buried at Machpelah and says And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, 175 years. Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people. And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre.

     Genesis 49:29 shows us that Isaac, Rebecca, Jacob and Leah are also buried in the cave of Machpelah and says And he (Jacob) charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite. In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace. There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah. 

Who Is The Boss And Reigning In Your Life

Sin Unto Death Or Grace Unto Eternal Life By The Lord Jesus 

     Next Brother Bob asks you Who is the boss and reigning in your life? Sin unto death or grace unto eternal life by the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:21 says That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

     Choose life and Jesus today to be your boss instead of sin and death. May Jesus, grace, and eternal life be your boss today instead of sin and death. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. 1 John 5:11 says And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

     Hebrews 11:24 says that the pleasures of sin are only for a season. By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharoah's daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. But there are pleasures for evermore with our Lord Jesus. Psalm 16:11 says Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Choose pleasures for evermore with Jesus instead of the pleasures of sin that are only for a season.

I See Jesus In The Sunrise And The Sunset

     Notice the pictures above of a sunrise and a sunset. I placed these pictures above to prove that no one has any excuses for not believing the Lord Jesus. Even if a person does not hear about Jesus, they have no excuse for denying that the Lord Jesus exists when they daily see the invisible things of the creation of this world.

     When anyone sees the sun come up in the morning like the first picture above, they see that Jesus was born. When anyone sees the sun go down at night like the second picture above, they see that Jesus died on the cross. And when the sun comes up the next day, anyone can see that Jesus rose again. This is because the Father called Jesus the Sun of righteousness at Malachi 4:2. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness (Jesus) arise with healing in His wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up (leap for joy) as calves of the stall. In other words saints with Jesus will be free and happy, like calves leaping for joy that have been released from their stalls.

     Finally, the sun displays the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. When we see the sun high and lifted up, we see the Father. When the sun appears, we see our Lord Jesus. And when we feel the invisible rays of the sun, we see the Holy Spirit. There is no excuse for denying the Lord Jesus because Romans 1:20 says For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.

     Psalm 14:1 says The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. The bible says a person is a fool to deny that Jesus is God. The bible also says at 1 Corinthians 16:22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. In Greek this means that if a person does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, that person is cursed when Jesus returns.

When you call the atheist prayer line, no one answers

When a man saw an atheist in a coffin at the funeral home

He said "All dressed up and no place to go."

An atheist had a sign in his home that said God is nowhere

A little girl that saw this sign said Praise Jesus God is now here

     But blessed saints know that Jesus is God who created everything. Right now praise Jesus and say out loud Colossians 1:16 For by Him (Jesus) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength. Feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 746-7071. Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name. 

Two Checks Payable To Christians; A Message About A Lion, A Backslid Preacher's Carcase, And A Jackass; The False Catholic Teachings About Mary's Perpetual Virginity And Replacement Theology; Learn About John Wycliffe And William Tyndale

Two Checks Payable To Christians

     The first check payable to christians pictured above is received after salvation with the Lord Jesus from the Bank of Eternal Life. The date on this check to receive salvation is now if you get saved with Jesus according to 2 Corinthians 6:2. For He (Jesus) saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured (helped) thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again.

     The sum of eternal life is paid to the order of whosoever believeth in Jesus Christ from the Bank of Eternal Life's resources that are unlimited. Jesus promises to pay believing saints eternal life according to John 10:28. Jesus said And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. This check is offered to whosoever believeth according to John 3:16. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 

     The amount of the payment is the gift of eternal life that is free to receive according to Romans 6:23. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Get saved today and receive this offer of eternal life from the Lord Jesus. This check's number is payable to any sinner that repents and gets saved. Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

The Philippians 4:19 Check From The Father's Checkbook In Heaven

That Guarantees Eternal Life Insurance

      The second check payable to christians pictured above is a check from the Father's checkbook in heaven. Let's study Philippians 4:19 and see how the bible describes this check from the Father's checkbook in heaven. Philippians 4:19 says But my God (The Provider) shall supply (promises to pay) all your need (amount to be paid) according to His riches (account from which the payment is drawn) in glory (address of God's bank) by Christ Jesus (signature on the check).

A POEM ABOUT ETERNAL LIFE INSURANCE COVERAGE

I have an insurance policy written in the blood of the Lamb

Sealed by the cross of Jesus, redeemable wherever I am

The company will never go bankrupt; It's bonded by God's promised truth

It will keep every word of its contract; exactly what it says it will do

I don't have to die to collect it; no premiums do I have to pay

All I do is to keep God's promise; And walk in His holy way

No collector will ever come calling; It was paid on Calvary's tree

It insures me for living and dying; and for all eternity

     Here's a couple more blessed sayings to draw all my friends closer to the Lord Jesus. When I look at myself, I say how could I possibly be saved. But when I look at Jesus, I say how could I possibly be lost. I went out to find a friend and could not find one anywhere. I went out to be a friend and friends were everywhere. If I walk down an aisle and shake a six foot spiritual icicle's hand, do some good works, answer some questions, get dunked in the pool, and blend in with the crowd, that doesn't save me. Salvation is not in a plan. Salvation is in a person named Jesus Christ. 

The Message About A Lion, A Backslid Preacher's Carcase, And A Jackass

A Jackass Is Safer In The Presence Of A Lion Than A Backslid Preacher

     The picture above gives us an example of a backslid preacher who did not obey the Lord's instructions to keep moving forward. God's instructions to this preacher were at 1 Kings 13:9. For so was it charged me by the word of the Lord, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest. After this preacher healed King Jeroboam at first he obeyed God's instructions and did not honor King Jeroboam's invitation to wine and dine with Jeroboam at the king's palace.

     But a lying prophet caused this preacher to come to his house to eat and drink. After the preacher disobeyed God's instructions, the lying prophet said at 1 Kings 13:21 Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee, But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord said to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.

     The picture above shows us what happened to the backslid preacher after he left the lying prophet's house upon a jackass. 1 Kings 13:24 describes what happened to the backslid preacher and says And when he (the backslid preacher) was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.

     Now isn't this strange that the lion stood by the carcase of the backslid preacher and the jackass, doing no harm to the backslid preacher or the jackass? The lion and the jackass were alive but the backslid preacher died. What's the meaning of this? I think it means that a jackass is safer in the presence of a lion than a backslid preacher. The lion represented the devil that had no power and could not harm the backslid preacher. The backslid preacher died because he disobeyed God's instructions and the devil represented by the lion had no power to harm anyone.

     Learn a lesson from this story about the backslid preacher of 1 Kings 13. I believe once a person is saved, he is always saved. But a saved person like this backslid preacher can still disobey God by sinning and be given over to the destruction of the flesh by the devil. 1 Corinthians 5:1-5 speaks about a saved man who was destroyed by the devil for having sex with his father's wife. According to 1 Corinthians 5:5, this saved man was delivered unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. In other words after salvation with Jesus, a christian is going to heaven whether he likes it or not. But God will chastise a christian when he sins, and if the christian keeps sinning, he will shorten his days and die. Romans 6:23 applies to all people (even christians). For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

     Notice that saved christians can choose to disobey God and sin allowing the devil to destroy their flesh. Romans 6:1 says What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? To defeat sin and receive peace and victory over the devil and this troubled world, every day say Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Jesus Christ and with Jesus' stripes I am healed. By faith see all your fears, worries, and troubles on the cross of Calvary with Jesus. Hebrews 2:14 tells us that when any trouble, fear, or worry is on the cross of Calvary with Jesus (the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever), it is destroyed and gone forever. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.

Why It's Wrong To Worship A Pope, Mary, Or a Catholic Priest

     Notice the picture above and remember that the Lord Jesus is our mediator and only way to God. Catholics believe that they can go to a priest to confess their sins and pray to Mary for forgiveness from Jesus. We must show the love of Jesus to Catholics but speak out against their false teachings that oppose the KJV bible. 

     1 Timothy 2:5 says For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (not a Catholic priest or Mary); Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. If you need forgiveness of any sin in your life, confess your sins to the one mediator between God and men, who is the Lord Jesus (not Mary, a Catholic priest, a psychiatrist, or any other person) for forgiveness. 

     Only the Lord Jesus can wash away your sins for ever. 1 John 1:7 says But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he (Jesus) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

     I don't have to confess my sins through a knothole to a Latin speaking, bead counting, robe wearing priest that calls himself a father, and the bird ain't even married, and to top it off he dresses like mama. The pope needs to take off his robe and bow down at the feet of the Lord Jesus and repent of his sins like all sinners. 

     The Lord Jesus is our mediator (not a pope, Mary, a priest, or a father) and if you confess your sins to the Lord Jesus, Revelation 1:5 says that the blood of Jesus will wash away all your sins. And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him (Jesus) that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood. It's wrong to call the pope or any priest your father. Jesus said at Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 

      It is wrong to worship Mary like a God. Notice that Jesus told a woman not to worship Mary. Luke 11:27 says And it came to pass, as He (Jesus) spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice (to worship Mary like a Catholic), and said unto Him (Jesus), Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps (from Mary) which thou hast sucked. But he (Jesus) said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the Word of God, and keep it. In other words Jesus said that meditating on God's Word is more important than worshipping Mary like a God.

     Jesus did not worship Mary like a God. Jesus called Mary woman (and not God) from the cross. John 19:26 says When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple (John) standing by, whom He loved, He saith unto His mother, Woman, behold thy son. The disciples prayed with Mary (and not to Mary) after Jesus was resurrected. Acts 1:14 says These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. When Jesus turned the water into wine at Cana, Mary told the servants Whatsoever He (Jesus) saith unto you, do it (not whatsoever I sayeth unto you like a God do it) (John 2:5). 

Why The Catholic Doctrine About Mary's Perpetual Virginity Is A Lie

     The Catholic doctrine proclaiming the perpetual virginity of Mary is wrong. Mary was a virgin when she gave birth to the Lord Jesus where God is the Father of Jesus. Matthew 1:25 says And (Joseph) knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. But according to Mark 6:3 Mary had other children later where Jesus had four brothers and sisters. Mark 6:3 says Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at Him. Mary was not a perpetual virgin to be worshipped like a God because she had other children. 

     Matthew 13:55 says Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto  them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. Galatians 1:19 says But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. Mary was not a perpetual virgin.

This Allowed The Common People To Read The Bible

That The Catholic Pope And Catholic Leaders Tried To Prevent

     The pope and the Catholic leaders represent the Nicolaitans of modern times. Jesus hates the doctrine of the Nicolaitans and the modern traditions of the Catholic church. The Greek definition for Nicolaitan is to conquer and have power over the people. Throughout history the leaders of the Catholic church and the pope did not allow the common people and the farmers to have access to the bible. The pope and the leaders of the Catholic church were the Nicolaitans that Jesus hated. Jesus said at Revelation 2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. I don't hate Catholics. I believe many Catholics today are saved and are good people but I hate the false teachings from the leaders of the Catholic church. Most Catholics are ignorant of the doctrines taught by the Catholic leaders.

     John Wycliffe rebelled against the pope and wrote the first English bible for the common people. In 1382 John Wycliffe produced the first full English translation of the bible that was handwritten and translated from the Latin Vulgate, not printed from original languages. During a period when access to the bible was restricted by Catholic leaders, those caught reading it faced severe penalties, potentially even the forfeiture of their property. It is said that the price some people paid for the privilege of renting a Wycliffe bible for an hour of daily reading was a bale of hay (a significant payment for a farmer living near subsistence levels). After John Wycliffe died, the pope burned his bones and cast them into the river. 

     The Catholic leaders wanted the common people to be ignorant about the bible in order to control the people and their money. This happened during the church of Thyatira where there was continual sacrifice to the pope and Mary by the Catholic Church during the Dark Ages that lasted for 1000 years from 500 AD to 1500 AD.

     Then in 1526 William Tyndale became a blessed missionary and gave English bibles to thousands of common people in Europe. William Tyndale published the first English New Testament translated directly from the original Greek. He also translated and printed the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Old Testament) in 1530. In 1535 Miles Coverdale published the first complete printed English bible. Coverdale's version included the entire Old and New Testaments, largely incorporating Tyndale's existing translations to finish the project. 

     William Tyndale was executed for the heresy of translating the bible into English. At the time, the Catholic church and King Henry VIII strictly forbade unauthorized vernacular translations, fearing that direct access to scriptures would undermine clerical authority. Clerical authority refers to the power, jurisdiction, and influence that ordained religious Catholic leaders (clergy, bishops, priests, and deacons) hold within a religious Catholic organization to interpret doctrine, govern practices, and maintain organizational structure. 

     After being betrayed by an associate, Tyndale was imprisoned for over a year. In 1536 Tyndale was eventually strangled at the stake and then his body was burned in Vilvoorde, near modern day Brussels. The last words of William Tyndale were "Lord, open the king of England's eyes." Tyndale's prayer was a plea for King Henry VIII to change his mind and legally allow the English people to read the bible in their own language. Historical records often note that Tyndale's prayer was answered remarkably soon after his death. 

     In 1537 only one year after his execution, Henry VIII authorized the distribution of the Matthew Bible, that relied heavily on Tyndale's work. In 1539 Henry VIII decreed that a copy of the Great Bible (the first authorized English version) be placed in every parish church in England for all to read. It is estimated that 80-90% of the later 1611 King James Version is derived directly from Tyndale's pioneering translation. 

The False Catholic Teachings Of Replacement Theology

     Then the Catholic church and Martin Luther created the false replacement doctrine theology stating that the church replaced the Jews and Israel. This is false because Paul said at Romans 11:1, I say then, Hath God cast away his people (the Jews)? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. And 1 Corinthians 10:32 says that the Jews are a separate class from the church. 1 Corinthians 10:32 says Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God. Unsaved people are either Jews or Gentiles. Saved Jews and Gentiles belong to the church of God. Instead of replacement theology; It's restoration theology because saved people have a Jew named Jesus living in them who soon will restore Israel when the Jews accept and believe that the Lord Jesus is their Messiah. 

     Remember if you bless the Jews and Israel, you will be blessed. If you curse the Jews and Israel, you will be cursed. Most Jews are atheists and enemies of the gospel but God tells us to love them because they are beloved enemies because of God's covenant to Abraham. Romans 11:28 says As concerning the gospel, they (the Jews) are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. God will bless you if you bless the Jews, Israel, and Jerusalem. Psalm 122:6 says Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. God told Abraham at Genesis 12:2 And I will make of thee  a great nation (Israel and the Jews), and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee (Israel and the Jews), and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Remember when you fight against the Jews, Israel, and Jerusalem, you fight against God and will lose. Zechariah 12:9 says And it shall come to pass in that day, that I (the Lord Jesus) will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
