THE WORSHIP OF THE SUN-GOD
The second of the TEN Commandments in Exodus 20:4-6 states:
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
The following is a hard saying but it must be said so that folk can have their eyes opened and make an informed decision as to who they follow - the so called church and its teachings or the God of the Bible and His son Jesus and its teachings.
The worship of the SUN in pagan cultures was a front unbeknownst to them of the worship of Lucifer, the son of the morning.
In the Christian dispensation, Sunday or the day of the Sun is the new worship for the professed followers of Christ and like those pagan cultures, Sunday, despite its embellishment with being the day of Jesus' resurrection or the day the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples, is a similar facade for the worship of the Sun-God, Lucifer or Satan who wanted to be God. Recall how Jesus called him the Prince of this world in John 12:31, 16:11, 14:30
Isaiah 14:12-14:
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
THE RED DRAGON OF REVELATION 12 IS THE DEVIL AND SATAN
Revelation 12:7-9 in symbolic language tells us that there was war in heaven and the dragon and his angels were cast out of heaven. The symbolism of the dragon is explained in verse 9. This same Lucifer in Isaiah 14:12-14 is the dragon of Revelation 12:9 aka that old serpent, called the devil and Satan who was cast out of heaven or fallen from heaven as Isaiah puts it.
Even though he was cast out of heaven or fallen from heaven, Satan's ambition of being God did not cease so he deceptively set up the perfect system on this earth whereby he could be worshipped as god. Remember how he tempted Jesus in the wilderness in Matthew 4:8,9 with:
The whole deceptive story is told in Revelation 13. This chapter deals with two beasts which represent the apostate fallen Christian world both Roman Catholic and Protestant
*The first beast of Revelation 13:1-10 is Papal Rome
*The second beast of Revelation 13:11-17 is US Protestant Christianity
They are both actuated by the dragon - the Papal beast receives its power, seat and great authority from the dragon (Rev 13:2) and the Protestant beast speaks as a dragon (Rev 13:11) despite commencing with lamblike (Christlike - John 1:29) horns.

THE WORSHIP OF THE SUN GOD
Sun worship originated in Babylon. The Babylonians kept a very close eye on the movement of the Sun and the Bible records an incident in the life of King Hezekiah when the sun went backwards 10 degrees. Isaiah 38:8, 2Kings 20:8-11. The Babylonians had observed this remarkable event and sent emissaries to King Hezekiah to inquire as to the event and what had transpired.
The sun often had a face in it as in the following images. To the left is a Roman sun-god. Notice the horns, and rays emanating in all directions. This relief is from the excavated Roman baths in Bath, England. To the right is the face of Apollo, the Greek sun-god, surrounded by straight and wavy blaze lines, from the Temple of Apollo facade in the Pergamum Museum in East Berlin.
The face in the sun with the horns represent the ancient adoration of the horned sun god of Babylon. The straight and wavy blaze lines represent the male and female sexual forces.
THE SUN GOD IN THE CHURCH
To the left is the face in the sun in a Scandinavian church. Note the wavy and straight lines representing the male and female. The middle image is of the face in the sun at the top of one of the giant serpentine pillars of Bernini's canopy in St Peter's Basilica, at the Vatican in Rome. To the right is a child's face within the fertility symbol of the sun's rays on a Roman Catholic altar. Again note the male and female straight and wavy rays radiating from the child's head.
SOLAR BLAZES, DISCS & HALOS
The halo is not a natural phenomenon. It is commonly attributed to the concept of the body aura, still a current teaching in the occult. Its origin is most likely Persia, Egypt and India, where solar blazes, discs and rays can be seen adorning the heads of statues of Persian, Hindu and Egyptian deities. It symbolises the deification of dead heroes and astrological gods. It has no place in the Christian Church.
The halo's existence in Christendom is most likely a result of the active intercourse with ascetics and pagan monks from the East, common in Egypt and Rome during the first centuries of Christianity. The halo is common on Buddhist and Hindu statues and in Roman Catholic imagery.
The halo is a symbol of the Sun which the pagans (Babylon) worshipped
To the right is the Indian Madonna and child, Divaki and Krishna, mythical characters created by Brahmans to counter Christianity in 600 A.D.
Note the halo behind the child's head - a symbol of the ancient practise of sun worship. The Hindu cult already had similar Madonna and child mythical characters, such as Isi and Isvara, and Lakshmi, mother of the universe
SOLAR BLAZES, DISCS & HALOS IN THE CHURCH
Halos are common in Roman Catholic pictures of Mary, Joseph, angels and saints. These were borrowed from paganism and passed on as Christian.
It should come as no surprise with the myriads of pagan symbols in the Roman Catholic church that the worship of Papal Rome is the Babylonian pagan sun-worship masquerading as the Christian worship.
This webpage exposes the thoroughly pagan nature of some of the symbols used by the papacy (the beast of Revelation 13:1-10). No doubt papal Rome will provide explanations / excuses for the use of these images adopted directly from paganism and 'Christianised'.
These have nothing whatsoever to do with the worship of true Biblical Christianity.
Even Baby Jesus has a halo with the symbol of the sun and its rays behind his head
A rose by any other name will smell just as sweet, so it is with the images of angels, pine cones, clam shells, tridents, halos, mitres etc. These are pagan through and through regardless of the excuses used to legitimise them by the church.
Hence concealed behind the professed Christianity of Papal Rome, the papacy continues the pagan sun-worship of literal Babylon.

Roman Catholic Mary and her halo.
Mother or Mary-worship is the most powerful and emotional phenomenon in the Roman Catholic Church today. This mystic cult is given credence by the countless accounts of supernatural phenomena involving statues, apparitions and healings. Since Mary-worship is found nowhere in the writings of the first Christians, it is evident its origin is found in the universal adoration of the mother goddess throughout paganism before the time of Christ. It was adopted into the rising Roman Church early in its history - some suggest after the fourth century A.D.
THE CRESCENT, OCCULT AND SOLAR SYMBOLS
The Crescent was a symbol of fertility, the opening of the womb. The placing of Mary in a crescent is a remnant of the fertility cults of the ancient mother-goddess, traceable to the Babylonian queen, Semiramis, who was titled "Mother of God" and "Queen of Heaven".
The Roman Catholic, Mary, is now the 'Queen of Heaven'. But note what God says about the Queen of heaven in Jeremiah 7:18, 44:17-19, 25
The very images of the pagan gods were adopted as Christian. "In some cases the adoption received no other disguise than to have the word 'saint' placed in front of the god's name. In other cases, the name was changed, but the rites, symbols, and processions continued as before." A.B. Cook, Zeus - A History of the Greek Religion. p. 43
THE SOLAR DISC WITHIN A CRESCENT
Below is an Assyrian cylinder seal. Notice the SUN resting on a crescent-shaped monstrance to the extreme left of the image. To the right is an ornament from King Tut's tomb depicting a solar disc cradled securely in the womb of a crescent moon with the image of the young king in it
THE SUN-GOD, SHAMASH
To the right, from the stele of Ur-Nammu of Ur (2112-2095 B.C.) The Solar blaze is the sun-god, Shamash, placed within the crescent of the moon-goddess, Nana
Below is an 8th century B.C. style relief of King Bar-Raqqah from Syria. Note the solar disc within the crescent with a handle on the crescent similar to the Roman Catholic monstrance which contains the wafer disc shaped god in the crescent.
ROMAN CATHOLIC MONSTRANCES
Below is a Roman Catholic monstrance used to contain the Eucharist wafer. In the doctrine of transubstantiation, the Eucharist is declared to be the ACTUAL BODY & BLOOD of Jesus Christ. Hence the Eucharist god can be created by the priest and carried about whithersoever, the priest goeth, much like the pagans.
This monstrance (case used to display the wafer-god of the mass) in the Vatican Museum has the three letters S.F.S within a small blaze. Each of these letters is a universal symbol for the number 6 in the pagan mysteries. To the eye of an initiate it simply reads 666.
Note also the straight and wavy rays emanating from the sun wafer-god representing the union of male and female in paganism.
Note: Olcott, commenting on the existence of cult symbolism in Christianity writes:
"From the foregoing, which treats merely of the more important solar festivals, it is clear that these products of paganism are as much in force today... as they were, and that Christianity countenances, and in many cases actually adopted and practices pagan rites whose heathen significance is merely lost sight of because attention is not called to the source whence those rites have sprung. In short, sun worship, symbolically speaking, lies at the very heart of the great festivals which the Christian church celebrates today, and these relics of heathen religion have, through the medium of their sacred rites, blended with practices and beliefs utterly antagonistic to the spirit which prompted them."
THE SOLAR WHEEL - A SYMBOL OF THE SUN & SUN-GOD
Babylon worshipped the sun-god who was known as Tammuz and went by the names Mithra in Persia, Helios in Greece and Sol Invictus in Rome.
The wheel is one of a number of symbols for the sun and sun-god.
Below left is a pagan sun wheel found in a temple in Kararak, India. It was associated with occultism and astrology. Even the cross was a symbol of the sun. When people looked at the sun, they squinted at its brightness and saw the shape of a cross in the sun.
The following are Buddhist and Roman Catholic Solar wheels - symbols for the sun and Sun god - these have no place in the worship of true Biblical Christianity
Symbols of the Sun God - From left to right: Roman Catholic bishop and his solar wheel, Mary and her solar wheel and the solar wheel on the ceiling of the Roman Catholic monastery of St Ignatius Loyola in Spain, the founder of the Jesuit Order or Society of Jesus.
Below from L to R : Solar wheel on the floor of St Ignatius' Monastery in Spain, Solar wheel on a Roman Catholic altar and the solar wheel on the Pope's mitre.
The largest solar wheel is of course found in the Vatican
Yes friends, the papal worship is none other than the the Babylonian pagan sun worship. It was not set up by Jesus or by Peter but by the great deceiver himself in order to receive homage which is due only to God and His son Jesus, our saviour and he is about to deceive the whole world into the passage of a Sunday Law so that he can truly be the God of this world.
Papal Christianity is his henchman while Protestant Christianity, his hitman who will effect these changes in our world.
Religious liberty is about to come to an end and Jesus bids his people to follow his word and come out of the Babylonian pagan worship masquerading as the Christian worship - Revelation 18:4
