FISHERS OF MEN

by Mareesha

   "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."  (Matthew 4: 19)


  "Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor."  (Ephesians 5: 1-2)


   "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."  (2nd Corinthians 6: 17)


   The Ecumenical Movement is the greatest story of the 21st Century, yet the greatest majority of people on earth do not realize that hundreds of Protestant churches have been mixed with Catholicism as well as mixed with more than a hundred world religions, and that they are now under the spiritual authority of the Vatican. 
   For the past thirty years, this movement has been silently ushering people from all over the world to Rome with such a subtle degree of secrecy that people do not know that this story is being told, written in front of their eyes, nor do they know that they are the characters in the storybook.
   It is doubtful, too, that traditional Catholics were informed of this transitional change from inside the Vatican:  that they have been continually worshipping in their parish churches and living their lives as if everything is normal:  while not knowing that their own Popes have pulled the wool over the eyes, thereby keeping them blinded to the truth:  that the Vatican is now a habitation of devils, a mixture of Satanism, Voodoo, Witchcraft, and the blood sacrifices of animals.   
   As for the Protestant churches that have deserted Christ to join this Ecumenical Movement, they are no longer "fishers of men"  and neither can they be, which Jesus describes to us plainly:
      "I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil:  and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars. 
      "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love."  (Revelation 2: 2-4)
   Because they have left their first love, they are no longer messengers and ministers of God and Christ, but are now ministers and messengers of Satan.  They are no longer "fishers of men"  for they have returned to the world from which they were rescued.
   Still, God is merciful and God is gracious, and He continues to reach out with His hand of love, saying,
      "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.  For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities."  (Revelation 18:  4-5)
