Separation of Church and State

Archbishop elpidophoros of america presents president trump with a holy cross

Said the Archbishop to President Donald Trump, "Through your leadership, you embody the values of our Christian faith and love for the gospel. you remind me of the great Roman Emperor, Constantine the Great."
​
He went on to say, "This Emperor, dear President, is the one who founded and built the magnificent city of Constantinople, my birthplace, known as Istanbul. It is my great honor to present you with this Holy Cross. This cross is the very symbol that led this great Roman Emperor Constantine to victory. As Christ revealed to him in a vision, He said, 'En Tuo Nika.' Told the Emperor, it means 'Go with this and be victorious,' Mr. President. This cross is an everlasting symbol of peace and an invincible trophy, a sign of divine strength and guidance. With this cross, I pray you bring peace to the world and make America invincible."
​
Every word of this should be alarming to us in light of our prophetic understanding. Not only does Constantine represent the origin of unification of church and state, but he also changed the Sabbath day, which is Saturday, to Sunday. These he did as the first so-called Christian Emperor of the Roman Empire.
The connection to Turkey here in prophecy regarding the King of the North in Daniel chapter 11 is worth not overlooking. You can easily see the pitch being used here by the archbishop to 'Make America Constantinople again'...MACA
​
But what did the cross given to Trump by the archbishop represent? In the battle of Milvian Bridge, as Constantine was leading a pagan army and marching to the fight, he claimed to have some sort of vision by which he was shown a flaming cross in the sky. Underneath the cross were the Latin words "In this sign conquer." It was at this point that Constantine decided to replace paganism and win the battle under the banner of Christianity. His continued changes to Rome were broad and sweeping along these lines, but in the end, he only achieved the blending of paganism and Christianity.
​
Blending two things together that have no business being joined seems to have been Constantine's specialty. Christianity and paganism have nothing in common, but neither does church and state. Christ said in John 18:36, "My kingdom is not of this world," implying that His kingdom is not a political or earthly realm, but a spiritual one. This is important to our understanding as our religious freedom is predicated on the God-given right to freely choose what you believe without civil interference or mandating. That we are being directed from a Heavenly source. The greatest violations of religious freedoms have always been at the hands of civil powers governing the people through religious zealotry.
With Christian Nationalism's power on the American stage growing stronger behind the presidential throne, we see these words coming to life, "The 'image to the beast' represents that form of apostate Protestantism which will be developed when the Protestant churches shall seek the aid of the civil power for the enforcement of their dogmas. The 'mark of the beast' still remains to be defined." GC88 445.2
​​
This is where we appear to be standing at this point. The churches of the land are seeking to lead the White House to enact laws on their behalf to counteract a subversive culture that has long been agitating the "Christian" base. The pictures below show the influence taking place within our nation's Capitol building.
My friends, there are greater things on the horizon to take place that will have much greater implications going forward as all these things are directing us to a single momentous occasion we read about here:
​
"In the last conflict the Sabbath will be the special point of controversy throughout all Christendom. Secular rulers and religious leaders will unite to enforce the observance of the Sunday; and as milder measures fail, the most oppressive laws will be enacted. It will be urged that the few who stand in opposition to an institution of the church and a law of the land ought not to be tolerated, and a decree will finally be issued denouncing them as deserving of the severest punishment, and giving the people liberty, after a certain time, to put them to death. Romanism in the Old World, and apostate Protestantism in the New, will pursue a similar course toward those who honor the divine precepts." 4SP 444.2
​
This of course is the predicted outcome of church and state coming together. What dangerous ground we are treading at this point as the last events shall be rapid ones.
Stand firm for truth!
