Beast from the Sea (9/15) | A Study of Revelation /w James Arrabito

Series Directory on SubstackThe world has embraced a form of Christianity deeply corrupted by ancient paganism. This episode delves into Revelation 13, identifying the composite beast power—a system blending pagan idolatry with Christian terminology. We explore the true meaning of the number 666, tracing its origins back to Babylonian sun worship, astrology, and the mystery religions founded by Nimrod and Semiramis.Discover how symbols and practices like the cross, Christmas trees, Yule logs, Easter traditions (Ishtar), Sunday observance (Mithraism), relic worship, priestly hierarchies (Pontifex Maximus), and even the concept of saints originated not from the Bible, but from ancient pagan cults dedicated to sun gods, serpent worship, and fertility rites. Learn how Gnosticism served as a bridge, allowing these pagan philosophies (like the denial of Christ coming in sinful flesh and the disregard for God's commandments) to infiltrate the early church, culminating in the state-sponsored religion under Constantine.We compare the tenets of Romanism with Hinduism, revealing striking parallels in practices like rosaries, penance, pilgrimages, prayers for the dead, holy water, and veneration of images. Finally, we examine the urgent call in Revelation 18 to "Come out of her, My people," urging listeners to return to the pure, Bible-based faith of the primitive Apostolic church and reject the Babylonian system represented by the number 666.
