Satan which deceiveth the whole world..." (Rev. 12: 9), that makes fire come down from heaven:

"And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men." Rev. 13:13.

We are warned that in the last days he will work with signs and lying wonders. And he will continue these won

ders until close of probation, that he may point to them as evidence that he is an angel of light and not of darkness. Satan will come in to deceive if possible the very elect. He claims to be Christ, and he is coming in, pretending to be the great medical missionary. He will cause fire to come down from heaven in the sight of men to prove that he is God. (Mar. p. 208)

The devil has invented paganism to counterfeit the pure teachings of the Bible, and now hides his falsehood under the guise of Christianity: "As in True Faith, paganism had a promise of a Messiah; had a form of Baptism, Spiritual Rebirth, Confession of Sins, Communion, and the promise of In

mortality." (The Antichrist 666 - Sutton, Anderson, 1980, Pg. 9)

The great lie that: "The Holy Trinity has sent Mary, the Mother of God, mother of the Church, our mother, to warn us. . ." (Thunder of Justice pg. 4) totally contradicts the Holy Scriptures. "Statues weep human tears and blood, the young prophesy, religious communities sprout up, messengers receive warnings, Mary raises up an army of the devout, and reported apparitions of Mary appear at a frequency never seen before in all of recorded history. . ."(ibid., p. 4). "As we near the close of time, there will be greater and still greater external parade of heathen power; heathen deities will manifest

"...deities will manifest ...their power and will exhibit themselves before the cities of the world"

The worship to Mary as opposed to the worship of God, our creator, is gaining worldwide acceptance. Millions of people are being "touched by the unexpected and the supernatural: ". . . These apparitions have yielded a wealth of messages as well as remarkable fruits: millions of conversions world-wide; the reorientation of life towards the spiritual; and physical,

mental, moral, and spiritual healings. An entire culture is arising spontaneously from the powerful shared experiences of those who have been touched by the unexpected and supernatural. This culture is articulating itself through and by means of Marian centers, publishing houses, prayer groups, and alternative media networks." (The Thunder of Justice p. 4).  There is only

one mediator between God and men: Jesus Christ (1 Tim. 2:5). Our intercessor is Jesus, not the virgin Mary. Paganism, and men's customs and ideas, entered the Christian church counterfeiting and adding doctrines that are totally contrary to the Bible teaching. For example, the doctrine that the virgin Mary was always virgin. According to the Scriptures she was virgin up

and until she gave birth to Christ: "Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. Math. 1: 24-25.

Mary's virginity was predicted in the Bible in Isa. 7:14; 9:6. There is
