The ‘Immaculate One’ reflects with all of her person the light of the ‘sun,’ which is God.”
These are the words of the Pope, taught on the December. 8th, during the feast of the Immaculate Conception.
The Pope refere to Mary, and the woman i the 12th chapter of the book of Revelation:
“The 12th chapter of the biblical Apocalypse, also known as the Book of Revelation, describes the glorification and persecution of “a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of 12 stars.”
“Though not named, this woman is described as the mother of the Messiah.
In poetic language akin to the Bible’s other prophetic books.
St. John says she faced the threat of “a huge red dragon, with seven heads and 10 horns” and “fled into the desert, where she had a place prepared by God.”
Pope Benedict, offering white roses in his traditional yearly act of Marian veneration, gave listeners his insight into the connection between the Virgin Mary and the Church, portrayed in the Apocalypse through the single image of the sun-clad woman.
“She appears ‘clothed in sunlight,’ that is, clothed in God,” observed the Pope. “The Virgin Mary is in fact completely surrounded by the light of God and lives in God. … The ‘Immaculate One’ reflects with all of her person the light of the ‘sun,’ which is God.”
The Pope claim Mary was “nurtured in the desert” by the “Holy Eucharist”.
“But in every age the Church is supported by the light and the strength of God,” the Pope said. “She is nurtured in the desert with the bread of his word and the holy Eucharist.”
“And in this way, in every tribulation, through all of the trials that she finds in the course of the ages and in the different parts of the world, the Church suffers persecution but comes out the victor.”

My comment:
That Mary is clouted with the sun, and reflects the sun, which is “god” is a marvelous doctrine taught by demons. What horrible blasphemy.
The Pagans in Egypt worshiped the sun god, and so do the Pope.
Will there ever be a more exposing article published on a Catholic news site?
The woman in the book of Revelation chapter 12, is Israel.
She is the daughter of Zion.
Jeremiah 14:17
“Speak this word to them: “‘Let my eyes overflow with tears night and day without ceasing; for the Virgin Daughter, my people, has suffered a grievous wound, a crushing blow.
Israel has been in the desert. The Hebrews had to spend 40 years there. Only two men who were in slavery in Egypt, were permitted to leave the desert and enter the Promised land.
The Jewish people gives birth to the Messiah. Everyone who believes in the Bible know it was Joseph son of Jacob who saw the sun and the moon bowing down to Him. The 12 stars are the 12 tribes of Israel.
Genesis 37:9
Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. “Listen,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”Revelation 12:1
A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
If this woman is the “Mother of the Church”, than who is the rest of her offspring?
Revelation 12:17
Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.
You just need a little bit of common sense to understand that this woman is Israel, and the rest of her offspring the grafted Church.
There is another woman in the book of Revelation, that fits perfect on “Catholic Mary”, who the Papacy claim is the Queen of Heaven.
Revelation 17:3-5
The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries.The name written on her forehead was a mystery:
BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Revelation 17:6
I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished.

1 John 1:8-10
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
Your article makes no sense Ivar?? Israel cannot be the woman in the Book of Revelation nor is it the Church! It was not the Church who gave birth to Christ, but Christ who created the Church.
“A woman”… The church of God. It may also, by allusion, be applied to our blessed Lady. The church is clothed with the sun, that is, with Christ: she hath the moon, that is, the changeable things of the world, under her feet: and the twelve stars with which she is crowned, are the twelve apostles: she is in labour and pain, whilst she brings forth her children, and Christ in them, in the midst of afflictions and persecutions.”
This is the same woman (the Church and Mary, both whose spouse is the Holy Spirit) prophecied in Genesis, the mother of Jesus Christ in the Gospal of Luke and John, and prophecied in the Apocalyse:
“I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.” Genesis 3:15
“And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name. And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him. He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy: As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.” Luke 1:46-51
The Prophecy of Simeon:
“And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts, thoughts may be revealed.” Luke 2:35
“His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye.” John 2:5
“When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son. 27 After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own.” John 19:26
” And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod: and her son was taken up to God, and to his throne.” Apocalypse 12:5
Her son is Jesus Christ. The Prophecy is both regarding the Church, the Bride of Christ, and by allusion Mary. Keep in mind the prophecies in Sacred Scripture made directly to Mary and directly from Mary that “a sword that will pierce your own soul” and how “all generations will call me blessed”. “Woman Behold your Son,” and to the disciple, “Behold your mother.” This thread of thought is through the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, starting in Genesis and ending in Revelations.
PS………The Catholic Church has a relationship to Jesus Christ as the Body of Christ. He is the Head of the Body. The members (us) have God as our Father and Jesus Christ as our Brother and the Blessed Mother is our mother and the Love of the Holy Spirit unites us as One.

My reply:
You write like an illusionist, a magician. Your take on the scripture, is that they can mean anything. You just have to create your own religion. The Pope has made one, and you desire to believe in him.
I take the scriptures at face value. I have explained to you that “Catholic Mary” is a whore. A spiritual prostitute. If you neither want to see, nor listen, what can I do?
Go and study, ivarfjeld…
You’re making it sound as if Mary is God’s wife…
Hi England,
The woman clothed with the SUN,is Israel who gave birth to the male child. Dear, you cannot change words in the bible to say something that you want it to say. It dosen’t say Son, it clearly says sun. This an astronomical occurance. GOd is the one who threw the stars into the heavens and it is He who calls them by name. The Gospel is written in the stars. people who lived before the time of Moses knew about the gospel. When they would be out in the fields tending their flocks they would be able to tell their children all about the coming Redeemer. Almost everyone is in agreement that the book of Job is likely the very first bible book written. Which would predate Moses. Job19:25,26, For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall
stand at last on the earth; And after my skin is destroyed, this I know, That in my flesh I shall see God, Job 38:31,32,33, Can you bind the clusterof the Pleiades, or loose the belt of Orion? Can you bring out Mazzaroth (the zodiac) in its season? Or can you guide the great bear with its cubs? Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth? When Yeshua was born there was a special star in the heavens.
Mary was blessed among women, becase she was chosen to give birth to the Messiah, and that is all. The gospel is prophetic, and the heavens declare GOd’s Glory, not Mary’s. The stars tell about Israel, and the bride in chains, who is rescued by the Messiah, it talks about the red dragon, who we all know to be Satan.
Quote: If you neither want to see, nor listen, what can I do?
Is the same question I and all other Catholics and even the Eastern Orthodox ask you! What is going to take for you to listen and be objective historically and theologically! Because all your articles on the Catholic faith is subjective to your thoughts and opinion and hateful! That is not being Christian at all…..there no Love on this Blog site of debate! What makes your recent unoriginal thoughts better than the Catholic Church’s 2000 yrs History??? Explain to me that!!
Dear England.

My comment:
You do not even have a clue about the history of your own religious movement. There was no Catholic Church before 325 A.D. The priests who have told you otherwise are blunt liars, who have not only falsified the gospel, but Church history too.
Dear England, do you think there is any love in catholic church at all? Let’s see your so-called catholic spiritual leader Pope Benedict is the former Hitler youth elected pope….
Ivar is right, the woman in revelation 19 is catholic church. The Great Whore
“For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication…” ―Revelation 19:2
Mary (the mother of Jesus) is not the great whore; Catholicism’s Mother Mary (the Catholic religion) is the Great Whore!
“For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore (Roman Catholicism), which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.” ―Revelation 19:2)
“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists (Popes and priests); whereby we know that it is the last time” ―1st John 2:18
“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color (official Vatican colors), and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls (the Vatican is filthy rich), having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations (the Holocaust, inquisitions, etc.) and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY (very few people realize where the Catholic religion started), BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS (Many heathen religions have spawned out of Catholicism, such as Lutheranism) AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” ―Revelation 17:4,5
Catholicism’s ill-gotten children profess to know Christ but do service to Satan by disregarding the commandments of God in order to keep the traditions of men which papists even themselves call “TRADITION.” Why she (the whore) is called a mystery? The antichrist spirit of ancient pagan Babylon, though seemingly long fallen, lives in the rites and blasphemies of the Roman Catholic religion. Now that ancient Babylonian false religion lives today within the Catholic religion, disguised by Christian names. What a Satanic scam! The queen of heaven is now… Mary! Mystery Babylon lives, undetected by doomed millions across the world. Mary is NOT our co-redeemer!
“The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the QUEEN OF HEAVEN…that they may provoke me to anger” ―Jeremiah 7:18
Notice the Halo around Mary (especially her head). The is an idolatrous practice of the Catholics which symbolizes deity (that she is equal with God). The Babylonians practiced the same idolatrous worship to the Queen of Heaven. Mary is NOT deity; she was a normal every-day woman. Yes friend, Satan is definitely working in the Vatican and in Catholic organizations all across the world. Though most Catholics will deny worshipping Mary, the evidence says something very different! They bow down and literally pray in the name of “Mother Mary” to a graven statue of Mary. This is sinful idolatry! They are lying through their teeth. God makes CLEAR in His Word that He will NOT share His glory with another (that includes Mary).
“I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” ―Isaiah 42:8
Hail Mary! Hail Satan!
How could anyone be so foolish to actually bow down in prayer to a statue of Mary, yet at the same time deny that they are worshipping her? Talk about crazy! God clearly command us in the second of the Ten Commandments NOT to make unto ourselves ANY graven images.
“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:” ―Exodus 20:4
Do the Catholics need glasses? It says right there in black and white in Exodus 20:4 that we are NOT to make unto ourselves ANY likeness of anything that is in heaven!!! Mary is in heaven. We are NOT to make any likeness of her according to Exodus 20:4. So what do you call a statue of mother Mary? It surely is a likeness of her, a graven image! Here’s another shocker…
“Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them…” ―Exodus 20:5
Ok, so then why does every Catholic BOW DOWN before a statue of Mary in their worship places? I’ll tell you why… because they are practicing FALSE religion totally void of the truth of God. You can argue whether or not you are worshipping Mary as your bowing down to her; but one thing is for certain, God has commanded us in Exodus 20:5 NOT TO BOW DOWN to her. Even if your not worshipping Mary, you ARE SINNING if you bow down to her because the Bible strictly forbids it! As I write, millions of people all around the world are bowing down to Mary in violation of God’s Word. Yes, Satanism is in the Vatican!
“Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” ―Mark 7:7
“For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.” ―Mark 13:22
Roman Catholicism: The Cult of Mary
“Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” ―Mark 7:7
“For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.” ―Mark 13:22

Dear AHARON ELAZAR
Shalom.
I have granted you fresh grace. You have earlier been spammed for Jew-hate, and I will be monitoring your comments. Please understand that remarks of hate towards Jews of all colors and creeds living inside the state of Israel will not be tolerated.
Hi ivar,
I am from Goa , india. I have been following your wtitings .Thanks for your article and may God Bless u and your family. I am out of Roman Catholicism. I have made Jesus the only one of the Bible the Lord of my life. We need more articles on How Goans have become Catholics. I have been sending your articles to all my Goan friends and relatives and family members and trying to bring them to the true JESUS of the Bible.
Keep on your good work. They will be a lot of bad mouthers just ignore them and looking for some more articles on your findings about the Jews of Old Goa.
Sandt Alwares.
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
Why dont we communicate by email? ivarfjeld@yahoo.com
Awesome revelations. Very informative
Dear Ivar,
Thank you for this article. It’s amazing that Catholics can’t see (or won’t admit) that Rev. 17:6 is talking about the Catholic “mary” who is the Mother of Prostitutes and the Abomination of the Earth.
“I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished.”
Again we see how the liars and frauds of the Roman Catholic church have twisted scripture to make “the woman clothed with the sun” fit into their blasphemous doctrines. There are many reasons why the “woman clothed with the sun” could NOT be the spiritual prostitute “mary”. An article I read talked about how the Catholic church (falsely) believes that mary was “immaculately conceived” herself and without sin. If this were true, then she could NOT possibly be the “woman clothed with the sun” as the scripture says that she gives birth to a male child and is in great pain. “And being with child, she cried travailing in birth: and was in pain to be delivered.” (Rev. 12:2)
Childbirth is part of God’s judgment on sinners. We read in Gen. 3:16: “To the woman he said, ‘I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children.'”
If this “woman clothed with the sun” is the sinless “mary” that the Roman Catholic’s claim, they just violated their own false doctrine. Interpretation of this scripture should be easy for those who study prophecy. But the Roman Catholic priests of Baal study only from their father the devil in order to deceive as many souls as they can. Their greatest blasphemy (among many) is that “mary” is equal (OR GREATER) than God. How many souls will be ushered into a fiery eternity for believing this?
I pray the Lord opens the eyes of the blind so that they may see!
This article is a salad, mixed ideas… Go and study….
Your comment is unclear.
The article exposes the falseness of the Catholic church, and the verses posted from the Word of God reveals how Jesus Christ will come, and all falseness will end.
As I said: go and study…
I say the same to you Babel. Are you a catholic? Is this why your disliking the article so much?
Pick up the Word of God, and read what Jesus Christ says about worshipping idols.
Revelation 9:20-21 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
Dear Gloria,
Again, go and study…
Babelrj,
I guess you are not here to debate.
God Bless.
Excuse-me, was there a debate here? I just read accusations and stratified thoughts. If people here wish to debate, then it is better to study the other religion in deep, read their books, read their authors. Otherwise, it is just the same distorted stuff. That is why I say: go and study… Not forgetting to ask the light of the Holy Spirit during it.
The word of God is the best book. Again, find another blog to post your catholic lies.
Yes, the word of God in the Bible! And it seems to me that you are a fundamentalist and have not read the Bible from the beginning up to the end. Otherwise, you would feel curious about reading people who studied it into the context, would have read people who studied the language of that time, the culture, the environment, among other aspects.
Why are you calling me Catholic. Did I say that? Does your faith is build upon hating and attacking Catholics? According to the Bible you should love them as Jesus loved, Gloria. It seems you haven’t learned the central message of the Bible… Exercise your patience. It is the first step to sainthood…
Another thing, Gloria. You said that they say “lies”, that Catholics say “lies”. Again, I say to you: go and study, Sister. If you really want to convert Catholics to your belief, study them deep by reading not the authors of your creed, but the authors of them. Make something better them this repeated speech, Gloria, forget your prejudice, your attacks and your hate against them. Do what Jesus would do… Sit with them, eat with them, walk with them, listen to them, talk — I said TALK, Gloria!!! – with them. Have mercy on them! Do not give them your back. Do what Jesus would do! What are you afraid of , Gloria? Of becoming Catholic? Of discovering that you were taught to have your faith based on just hating and attacking them?
Well, that is all.
May the Peace of Jesus be with you.
Babel,
I’m going to try asking you one more time. Are you a catholic? It seems with your comments, “This article is a salad, mixed ideas… Go and study….” that you defend this falsehood. Was I mistaken?
You said: And it seems to me that you are a fundamentalist and have not read the Bible from the beginning up to the end.
My comment: Actually I started taking Bible classes when I was 5, and have read the Bible from beginning to end numerous times. But I am always learning from Jesus’s word.
Your Comment: Did I say that? Does your faith is build upon hating and attacking Catholics? According to the Bible you should love them as Jesus loved, Gloria
My Comment: Actually it is with love that I tell the Muslims, Catholics, Buddhists, numerous people to turn away from the falsehoods they cling to.
Your comment: Have mercy on them! Do not give them your back. Do what Jesus would do! What are you afraid of , Gloria? Of becoming Catholic? Of discovering that you were taught to have your faith based on just hating and attacking them?
My comment: Again, I hate no one. For what kind of Christian would I be, if I hated someone in my heart. How will anyone stand before Jesus one day with hatred in their hearts? And if it were so easily for me to become a catholic, then I never had Jesus in the first place.
This is the last thing I will say to you. The article started off with what the Pope and catholics do by putting Mary equal to God is wrong. You seem to just come here to argue against me, instead of recogonizing that the Catholic people need to repent and embrace ONLY JESUS.
God Bless you.
Gloria
I thinks it’s pretty straight forward in it’s attempt to clarify the mix-mash that the RCC puts out on this dead woman.
Before Abraham was…….SHE WAS!
She was on God’s mind in Geneses 3:15
She was on God’s mind in Isaiah 7:14
She was on God’s mind in Micah 5:3
She was on God’s mind in Luke 1:26
Oh Holy Mary…..when wicked men blaspheme thee….I’ll love and bless thy name (Luke 1:48).
Dear Ann.
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
You wrote:

My reply:
I WAS too. So just start to worship me. And even Abraham was on God’s mind. So lets worship all creation?
Absolutely not. THis is wickedness and damnable idolatry.
Romans 1:21-23
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles
Oh!! In the scheme of things, Geneses 3;15 does necessitate Geneses 12.
Mary was God’s immediate plan to save the world, after the fall.
And about Romans 1:21…..before the apostles were…..SHE WAS!
Mary introduced her son to Elizabeth, John, Zachariah, the angels, the
shepherds, the magi (and hence the world), Jerusalem, Holy Simeon, Holy
Anna, Egypt, and Nazareth (see Luke 1&2; and Matt. 1&2).
Dear Ann.
Shalom, and love in Jesus.

My reply:
You need to give me scriptures. Where is it written than Mary would save the world, after the fall?
You wrote:

My reply:
You give Romans 1:21 as a reference, for the statement “SHE WAS”. I would like to quote the full sequence:
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
(end of scripture).
Since Mary (Miriam, the mother of Jesus) is a human being we are not suppose to make image of her. And absolutely not worship her. This is not my words, but a quote from the Bible in the correct context. Those who ignore these verses, are portrayed in Romans 1: 21-23, as having a foolish heart that is filled with darkness.
Why not ???? Don’t you have a camera ??? And what is that ‘image’ next to your
name??? An ‘idol’, or a token of something you love???
