ECCLESIASTICAL MEGALOMANIA QUESTION: SECOND BEAST OF REVELATION 13 IS THE USA Dear Mr. Pippenger, Recently friends sent me several of your tapes and copies of your magazine, Future News. I have listened to most of the tapes, and scanned the papers. I found some interesting thoughts. The tape that I especially found interesting was your interview with John Robbins on his book, Ecclesiastical Megalomania. However, it seemed to end in mid-interview, almost mid-sentence with Mr. Robbins speaking. Is there a sequel to this tape that completes the interview, and how may it be obtained? I was interested in the quotations, which you both confirmed from various Catholic sources that Rome is “the mother of all churches,” and the Protestant churches and others are “daughters”. As “the mother” seems to think that she will regain her lost dominion, and “her daughters” need to come into line, I was reminded of a statement that appeared in 1850: “The Mother of Harlots . . . was not the daughters, but separate and distinct from them. She has had her day, and it is past, and her daughters, the Protestants sects, were the next to come on the stage and act out the same mind that the mother had when she persecuted the saints.” I am assuming that you may believe that the second beast of Revelation 13 could well represent the United States, and that this government will form an image to the first beast. After reading A.T. Jones’ book The Great Prophecies of Prophecy, I’m beginning to think that America will establish a copy, or image, of the pagan system of governance, where the government controlled the church. Thank you for the above requested information. Sincerely, RB. RESPONSE Dear RB, There are two tapes in the John Robbins interview. I believe the second beast of Revelation is the United States, and it is well on its way to building the image of the papacy. Jeff.
