Christmas Mass (Post 24 Part 2)
'At Satan's Altar'
So the Midnight Mass that is broadcasted live around the world.
takes place on the eve of Christmas at the Altar of St. Peter's Throne, in St. Peter's Basilica. In front of the Altar, is a statue of a baby Jesus, whom Pope Francis picks up, cradles, kisses and prays over. But why at this altar? Let me share a little background on this Throne.....
The Altar of the Chair of Saint Peter (Latin; Cathedra Petri), also known as the Throne of St Peter, is a bronze sculpture in the Vatican's St. Peter's Basilica. It is placed right under the dome, with a stained glass window above, for the SUN to illuminate the Throne. The Vatican claims it's the Holy Spirit's light guiding the church.
The designer, Gian Bernini worked on this massive project which took nine years to complete (1657-1666). The work was finished in the year 1666 under Pope Alexander VII. Do you believe it is just a coincided that this is the year the Throne was completed?!
This Chair/Throne is not a normal size chair. The dimensions are enormous! The Chair itself is over 20 ft. tall, the figures of the "Saints, Doctors of the Church" as the Vatican calls them, stand between 13 and 16 ft. And the whole work weighs over 150,000 lbs.
So why make a Chair/Throne so large? Whom is it for? We don't know the size of angels (fallen angels) but we do know that in 1 Kings 6:23-28 it tells us in Solomon's temple he made two cherubim figures that were 15 feet tall. And then we have the Nephilim, who we know where also very large (Numbers 13:31). And yes, there are verses stating that you can't tell the difference between the two, men and angels. Yet, there is no explanation for such a massive size Throne.
Above the Chair are two angels bearing the Tiara and Keys, symbols of the Roman pontiff's authority. But what do the keys represent, from the Vatican's website… "The golden key represents 'spiritual' power whereas the silver key represents 'worldly' power." Or you could say, Political and Religious power! And what does the Tiara represent, from the Vatican's website… "The Papal Tiara formed by three crowns symbolizing the triple power of the Pope: father of kings, governor of the world and Vicar of Christ." Basically, supreme power over the earth, being the substitute for Jesus here on earth.
And last but not least, every year on February 22nd, the Church celebrates the "Feast of the Chair of St. Peter". It's a day to reflect on the 'Office of Peter', in other words, the Office of the Pope. It's about the 'Seat' and the 'Authority'. You are to pray for the Pope, that holds that office. Who is 'spiritually' seated in that Throne.
So who is giving the Pope this power? I believe the one who 'sits' in this Throne, Satan, (the fallen angel) himself. Rev 13:2 … and the dragon (Satan) gave him his POWER, and his SEAT, and great AUTHORITY.
On a side note, there are many who claim that satan lives in the Vatican as well…
The chief Exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth (whom died in Sept of 2016) said the devil lives in the Vatican...
"The devil is lurking in the very heart of the Roman Catholic Church, the Vatican's chief exorcist claimed." He also claimed that he spoke with the devil regularly.... “I speak with the Devil every day. I talk to him in Latin. He answers in Italian. "I have been wrestling with him, day in day out, for 14 years,” he said."
He then went on to say... "When one speaks of 'the smoke of Satan' [a phrase coined by Pope Paul VI in 1972] in the holy rooms, it is all true. It's hovering in the Vatican."
So the whole world is focusing all this energy on Christmas eve going into Christmas day. While this mass is taking place in front of this seat broadcasted live around the world. And when you understand what takes place during a mass, this is mocking our precious Savior.
Do you understand the heavy Spiritual Warfare taking place. Just something to ponder on, the 'Spirit of Christmas' goes so much deeper.
Keep Watch!
