17Hebrews 412 For the word of God is quick, and
powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword,
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and
spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a
discerner of the thoughts and intents of the
heart.

sharp sword, that with it he should smite the
nations and he shall rule them with a rod of

fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
19One of the key things Satan will seek to pull off
in this period is to
- Set up a counterfeit church that calls itself the
universal Christianity or Catholic church. - It will set itself up as authoritative.
- It will claim to be the sole interpreter of the
Bible and the means of grace for salvation,
rather than Jesus!
20This catechism is offered to every individual
who wants to know what the Catholic Church
believes.
- Pope John Paul II Introduction Catechism of the
Catholic Church
21The task of interpreting the Word of God
authentically has been entrusted solely to the
Magisterium of the Church, that is, to the Pope
and to the Bishops in communion with him
- Article 100 of the Catechism
22For it is through Christs Catholic Church
alone, which is the universal help toward
salvation, that the full means of salvation can
be obtained.

56- Roman Catholic children usually make their First
Holy Communion at the age of 7 or 8. It is a time
of great celebration when the candidates usually
wear white, if they are girls, and receive gifts
to mark this special passage in their spiritual
life. Towards the end of his life Napoleon was
asked which had been the happiest day of his
life. The questioner expected him to recollect
one of his great military triumphs or his
coronation as Emperor, but Napoleon replied, "The
happiest day of my life was my First Holy
Communion day." This may give you some idea how
important this day is to a Catholic.
57- The Catholic Encyclopedia
58In the celebration of the Holy Mass, the bread
and wine are changed into the body and blood of
Christ.

Sacrament of the Eucharist the substance of bread

of God through the course of time, nations, and
people to accomplish His three-fold plan for the
universe, the earth, and your life AND it is the
movement of the devil through the course of time,
nations, and our lives to counter, counterfeit,
and/or confound Gods three-fold plan.
