“[B]e it known unto thee … that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.” Daniel 3:18 KJV

A statue of the Phoenician/Carthaginian deity Molech sits at the entrance to the Roman Colosseum. It is a replica of the statue featured in the 1914 Italian silent film Cabiria.
A Vatican-placed statue of the Canaanite god Molech is creating quite a stir among tourists visiting the Colosseum in Rome these days.
“The Colloseum of Rome is owned by the Vatican … If anyone wants to do anything there, they must get permissions from the office of the Diocese of Rome. This exhibition, called “Cathargo: the immortal myth” could not be held there at all unless permissions were granted at high levels.”
The Molech statue, which has been in front of the Colosseum since September, is part of the Carthago exhibition celebrating Carthaginian culture and art.
Culture and art notwithstanding, some tourists and Roman Catholics are not amused that Molech (one of the most monstrous and terrible pagan deities of the ancient world) sits at the entrance of the most-visited tourist destination in the world where countless Christians were tortured and executed for entertainment.
“Standing guard over the entrance was the colossal pagan statue of Moloch. … [E]veryone that entered into the Colosseum had to pass it. It was like they put Moloch there to mock the sacred place where the holy martyrs spilled their blood …” Alexandra Clark, visitor to the Colosseum
In ancient Carthage, it was customary for Molech worshippers to burn their children alive as offerings to the deity.
Scripture also mentions Molech in the books of Leviticus, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, and Jeremiah where God forbids the Jews “to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech.”
Last month the Roman Catholic Church was embroiled in controversy surrounding the opening of the Amazon Synod. A ceremony involving the pagan goddess “Pachamama” was held at Vatican Gardens in the presence of Pope Francis and top-ranking prelates.
The Amazonian Synod ended with Alexander Tschugguel, a frustrated Roman Catholic, tossing the wooden statuettes of the fertility goddess into the Tiber River.
The placement of a pagan god (responsible for the deaths of untold numbers of children) and the ceremony honoring a South American fertility goddess have left some tourists and Roman Catholics looking at the Vatican with jaundice eye.
“Both of these evil pagan idols required child sacrifices and both of them came to Rome at about the same time [as] the Synod.” Alexandra Clark
The Molech statue will remain at the entrance of the Colosseum in Rome until March 29, 2020.
As a side note, ancient pagan deities are being acknowledged in key locations throughout the world today. In 2016, a 50-foot reproduction of the arch that stood at the Temple of Baal, a.k.a. the Arch of Palmyra was temporarilly reconstructed in New York City, London., and Washington D.C.,
“[T]hat which is offered in sacrifice to idols is … sacrifice[d] to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. 1 Corinthians 10:19, 20,21 KJV

The image of Moloch that currently stands outside the Colosseum is modeled after the idol of Moloch from the 1914 Italian silent film Cabiria. In the film, the idol of Moloch sits in a Punic temple and houses a furnace in his chest where children are thrown in and burned alive.

Why the Pope’s Upcoming Historic Visit to the United States Is Significant
By Jerry A. Kane
On Wednesday, September 23, Pope Francis, the 266th pontiff to head the Roman Catholic Church, will meet with Barack Hussein Obama at the White House in Washington DC.
For practitioners of Judaism, September 23 is Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement, the most important day in the Jewish calendar. It is the holiest, most solemn religious fast day of the year. In biblical times, only on Yom Kippur could the high priest enter the Holy of Holies in the Temple to make atonement for the sins of the whole nation of Israel in one day (Leviticus 16).
But for Christendom and the Western World, which adopted Pope Gregory XIII’s 1582 Gregorian calendar, September 23 is the 266th day of the year, which incidentally is the same number of days it takes a woman to give birth to a child from the moment of conception.
On Thursday, September 24, the Roman pontiff will give a historic address before a joint session of the U.S. Congress.
“On that day, he will become the first leader of the Holy See to address a joint meeting of Congress. It will be a historic visit, and we are truly grateful that Pope Francis has accepted our invitation,” said John Boehner (R-OH) Speaker of the House, in a statement
Then on the second leg of his US trip, September 25, the Pope will travel to New York City to speak before the United Nations General Assembly. After his speech, the General Assembly will convene a high-level plenary meeting to adopt a new sustainable development agenda, which was mandated by the General Assembly September 2013 (Resolution 68/6).
The UN’s new sustainable development agenda, also known as the 2030 Agenda, will replace Agenda 21, the UN’s sustainable development action plan adopted at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992.
Unlike Agenda 21, which primarily focused on the environment, “this new universal Agenda” for humanity and the planet is a blueprint to “realize the human rights of all … achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women … and balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social and environmental.” In other words, the 2030 Agenda is the UN template for a world government.
[The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development] “can help realize the… dream of a world of peace and dignity for all. Today is the start of a new era. We have traveled a long way together to reach this turning point,” said Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations.
To recap, the 266th pope will meet Hussein I (peace be upon him) on the Day of Atonement, the 266th day of the year, which is the day before the pope’s historic address to Congress, and two days before he addresses the UN General Assembly and the announced birth of the one-world government.
At first blush it appears that Hussein I (peace be upon him) will be a bit player overshadowed by numerical coincidences, a historic, precedent-setting visit to Congress, and an unveiled blueprint for a new world order. But once the inexplicable lottery drawing that happened in Obama’s home state the day after he won the presidency in 2008 is taken into account, his role becomes evident.
On November 5, 2008, the Illinois daily lottery numbers were 666 for the pick three and 7779 for the pick four evening numbers. In biblical numerology, i.e., the study of numbers in the Bible, 666 is the number commonly associated with the man of sin or the Antichrist alluded to in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 and the beast and the mark of the beast mentioned in Revelation chapter 13.
The number 7 signifies completion or perfection, and the number 9 signifies divine finality or judgment. The odds of these two sets of numbers being randomly drawn in Obama’s home state on the same day the day after his election is more than a 1/3,650,000,000 probability, which means it’s a statistical impossibility. One could rightly conclude that either the Illinois lottery was rigged, or God has sent a sign to His people concerning the identity of Antichrist, the end of the age, and coming judgment.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
There you have it; now do with it what you will.
