Zechariah 05 From Babylon to Rome

We update studies as the Lord Jesus leads us. You can find the latest update of this study at ChurchAges.net

10 indicates the end-time and worldliness

The first six Chapters of Zechariah mention 10 visions. Ten is symbolic of the end.

Our Gentile civilizations end when the Stone smites the feet of the Gentile image with 10 toes.

Also in Matthew 25, the final churches of saved Christians are represented as 10 virgins.

In the end, computers dominate the world. Computers are made of switches that are on (1) or off (0) when they are coded. The two numbers that come from 10.

REVELATION 17:12   And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

:13     These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

The final Pope, who ends the succession of Popes (the beast system of organized religion), will rule the world by using the military power of 10 dictators. They have power as kings but not the crowns, so they are dictators.

Abraham could not find 10 righteous men, so at the end, Sodom was destroyed by fire from the sky. Sodom was the centre of gay rights and sodomy which our churches foolishly condone with their same-sex weddings. The fire symbolized the nuclear missiles that will destroy America and other places in the 3½ years of great tribulation.

Theft of Roman Catholic doctrines is a major curse

Zechariah Chapter 4 shows the seventh vision. This involves the redemption of the church and then goes over to the two prophets, Moses and Elijah, who lead the 144000 Jews to Christ during the 3½ years of great Tribulation.

Zechariah Chapter 5 has the eighth vision that shows the curse of theft, stealing from the doctrines of the Roman Catholic church that are inspired by the Mysteries of Babylon. Such as the unscriptural Trinity, God the Son, Jesus is in the Godhead, Christmas, 25 December, Good Friday, Easter eggs, Hot Cross buns, Lent, the Pastor is the head of the church, etc.

The second curse is swearing falsely by the name of God. The Trinity has three Persons in the Godhead. It is impossible to find one name for three Persons, so the Trinity God has no name.

Having no name for God is a major sin in the church, caused by the curse of ignorance.

The churches have ignored the revealed mysteries of Scripture brought by William Branham.

Saved churchgoers have become the foolish virgins, fooled by their dominating pastors. A pastor in charge of a church is unscriptural. Especially when it is Pastor and Son, then it is simply a lucrative business model.

The curse of Bible-ignorance will be for saved Christians to be cast into great Tribulation and perish in that unimaginable horror.

ZECHARIAH 5:1   Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.

He “turned”. By nature, we humans never look in the right direction. God always has to turn a person to give him the proper direction or perspective to understand Scripture.

We must look up to God for wisdom and understanding. He alone knows what He is doing.

Every poll showed that Donald Trump would lose the 2016 Presidential election. But God needed a man with sufficient courage to oppose the Muslim hordes and recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. So, against all odds, Trump won the Presidency.

ZECHARIAH 5:2And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.

Joseph was betrayed and sold by his Jewish brothers for 20 pieces of silver. Theirs was a group decision. That event was a type of Jesus being betrayed by Judas for 30 pieces of silver. That was a personal decision. The two measurements of the scroll, ten and twenty, add up to thirty.

Thirty represents the complete betrayal of the King James Bible by the church groups at the end (The end is represented by the 10).

The churches now deny that the King James Bible is the Absolute truth.

Twenty represents the age of a man who is expected to be able to fight in the greatest battle ever fought, the fight for the Bible's truth. From the age of 20, each man is responsible for his personal decisions. Does he believe the Bible's truth, or does he betray the Scriptures because of peer pressure from the group of his church brothers' beliefs?

NUMBERS 1:22   … every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

This flying roll represents the betrayal of the Word of God, the King James Bible, Which tells us the thoughts of Jesus Christ as He is the Word of God.

Whatever you think of the King James Bible, that is what you actually think of Jesus.

We have to regard all of the King James Bible as our Absolute truth.

But this flying scroll represents that spirit of antichrist, which seeks to betray the true Word of God.

The scroll was flying high. Satan has done a massive damage to the church by getting them to abandon or criticize the King James Bible.

Jesus Christ is the Bible’s truth come down to us in flesh form.

JOHN 1:14   And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,

Jesus is not just a Man. He is the living Bible, Almighty God Himself, Who became flesh as a Man.

I JOHN 4:3   And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Thus, we cannot contradict the King James Bible, ignore It, or change It in any way. That is unbelief.

ZECHARIAH 5:3   Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.

"Cut off". The modern churches have been cut off from the perfect Will of God. They cannot understand the mysteries of Scripture.

Consequently, there is not one prophecy about the end-time church that says anything good about the end-time church.

There is not one parable about the end-time church that says anything good about the end-time church.

Unbelief produces a curse

ZECHARIAH 5:3 This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth:

In the end, this curse will cover the whole earth. No churchgoers will believe that the King James Bible is the Absolute truth.

There are two vital sins. Stealing and swearing.

The Roman Catholic church stole many ideas from the pagan Babylonian Mysteries who always had a Priest as the head of a temple. The Priest collected the money, so it was a good business model. The Priest told the people what to believe. The Roman Catholics stole this idea and put a Priest as the head of each church. The Protestants stole this idea from the Catholics and put a Pastor as the head of each church. This was never done in the New Testament. The Pastor’s son became the unscriptural co-Pastor in a blatant display of nepotism as this kept the money in the family.  

The pagan Babylonian mysteries produced a trinity of gods and the worship of a goddess.

Roman Catholics stole these ideas and by using Greek philosophy, modified these three gods into a church Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Three Persons Who are each God, but then they pretend that the three Persons somehow (bring on the smoke and mirrors) only make up one God.

Catholics began praying to mother Mary.

“One God in three Persons” is Greek philosophy, it is not Scripture.

“Father and Son are of the same essence” (whatever that means) comes from Greek philosophy, not from the Bible.

Protestants stole the idea of Trinity from the Roman Catholics. The Bible is no longer the complete truth for non-Catholics. It is now the Bible plus the Trinity plus Christmas plus 25 December plus celebrating the Lord’s birth (which the Bible never asks us to do), plus the unscriptural Good Friday, etc.

Swearing in God’s name

Sinners swear in the name of Jesus Christ.

Nobody swears in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Thus sinners tell us that Jesus Christ is the name of God. That is the name that has power.

But

LEVITICUS 19:11   Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.

:12      And ye shall not swear by my name falsely,

neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.

God's name is sacred. No lie must ever be told in the name of God. That is a fearful sin.

DEUTERONOMY 6:13   Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him,

and shalt swear by his name.

To swear means to make a very solemn vow that calls upon the power of the name of God.

Blasphemy means to use God’s name as a swear word, because God’s name has power.

Today, frustrated or angry sinners swear in the name of Jesus Christ.

“For Christ’s sake!” or “Jesus, I am so angry”.

Sinners never swear “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost”.

Sinners know that the three titles are not the name of God and are thus powerless.

The ultimate irony. Sinners know the name of God but the church-goers do not.

Satan has always used the plan of making God's people forget His name and not mention His name.

AMOS 6:10   Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.

JEREMIAH 23:27   which think to cause my people to forget my name 

This is the present condition of the church.

They do not have a name for their Trinity God.

JOSHUA 23:7   That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you;

neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them,

neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:

You must not mention the names of false gods when making a vow.

Trinitarians cannot find one name for the three Persons of the Triune God. Thus, the triune God has no name.

Consequently, the Triune God is a false God because the Triune God has no name.

ZECHARIAH 5:4    I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

The curse that comes from stealing the Roman Catholic Trinity, is that the Triune God is a false God, who has no name.

Saying that, “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” is the actual name of God is false.

God must have a name.

The three Titles simply tell us the three manifestations of God.

God above the Jews. God with the Jews as Emmanuel. God in us, as the church.

But the God Who did all this is Jesus Christ. He has a name.

But the Trinity doctrine, once accepted into the fooled church, will remain a fundamental church belief until the churches of the foolish virgins are destroyed in the 3½ years of great Tribulation.

The Word is replaced by a woman who represents a church

ZECHARIAH 5:5   Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.

Looking up symbolizes a deeper spiritual insight. Something higher is moving in the spiritual dimension. The true fight is not physical but spiritual.

“Goeth forth” means evil spirits are on the move. Their aim is to deny, change, contradict, and betray the Scripture. These devils are very active as they confuse our minds with unscriptural ideas.

ZECHARIAH 5:6And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.

An ephah is like a large basket or bucket that can hold 50 pounds of wheat. That is a lot of wheat.

Wheat is a symbol of the Word of God. But the ephah is empty. This is how Satan operates. He comes with clever arguments and loves to use Greek words that nobody understands, and thus nobody can argue with him. He takes a verse like Mark 10:12 that says a woman cannot divorce her husband and remarry.

MARK 10:12   And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

Then they come up with all sorts of arguments based on Greek words that end with them saying she can divorce and remarry. Thus, they contradict what Jesus said and effectively cancel out that Scripture.

The churches continue to contradict, leave out, change, or ignore what is written in the King James Bible, which gives us a perfect translation of the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures. Thus, the Ephah, which contains the Word of God, gets emptier and emptier. To compensate, they then add church traditions.

“This is their resemblance through all the earth”. All the churches around the world operate the same way. They change or ignore what is written and then believe in unscriptural beliefs like Trinity, God the Son, Jesus is in the Godhead, celebrate the birth of the Lord, put a Pastor in charge of the church, same-sex marriage, William Branham is the infallible Voice of God, etc. These are all unscriptural ideas.

ZECHARIAH 5:7   And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.

A talent is 75½ pounds. But that much lead is a dead weight and has no life.

A woman symbolizes a church, and the lead symbolizes dead church doctrines based on paganism and human opinions.

This is most significant. The ephah container has no wheat (Scripture). The fifty pounds of wheat has been replaced by 75½ pounds of dead lead doctrines. The Bible wheat always points to God and His name Jesus Christ. But the wheat (Bible doctrines) have been removed from the ephah container and replaced by a woman, representing the Roman Catholic church who cannot tell us the name of God.

The lead is heavier than the wheat. People today give more emphasis to church beliefs than to Bible doctrines. The many criticisms of the King James Bible by church preachers have led to people rejecting the King James Bible by claiming it is not the perfect and Absolute truth. But Jesus is the Word. The King James Bible tells us His thoughts.

Thus, when we find fault in the King James Bible, we are finding fault in Jesus.

And that is deadly. Lead has a deadly significance. Atomic and nuclear bombs are made from uranium and plutonium atoms. When these atoms decay or explode they undergo a series of changes that end in lead.

Lead represents the end product of the nuclear bombs that will destroy Vatican City, the nerve centre of the Roman Catholic church, during the 3½ years of great Tribulation.

REVELATION 17:18   And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Vatican City will be destroyed by a nuclear bomb or nuclear missile that falls down on it from the air.

REVELATION 18:9   And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

:10     Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

When an atomic bomb explodes there is intense and deadly radiation given out. People cannot go closer as the radiation will kill them. This danger can last for at least a week.

The lead represents the final judgement on the Roman Catholic church.

Roman Catholics are the mother church

Her Protestant daughters that came out of her are also harlots messing around with man-made ideas.

ZECHARIAH 5:8   And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

The wheat (God’s Word, the King James Bible) has been removed from the ephah.

Rejecting God’s Word is the ultimate wickedness.

Then to make it worse, the Word, which is God's Voice, has been replaced by the woman (Roman Catholic church) who is in the midst of the ephah. The church now claims to be the Voice of God and tells the people what to believe.

The midst of the ephah is where the wickedness is. Thus, the source of pagan unscriptural wickedness is the Roman Catholic church and the Protestant churches that have been corrupted by her doctrines.

REVELATION 17:4   And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

Fornication is sex while unmarried. The Roman Catholic church was never the Bride of Christ. Then she would be guilty of adultery.

REVELATION 17:5     And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Protestant churches came out of the Roman Catholic church after Martin Luther’s Reformation.

A harlot messes around with other men as she is not true to her husband. The Protestant daughters are also harlots, messing around with unscriptural doctrines and not staying true to their Husband, the King James Bible. But these churches refused to repent and continued with their man-made unscriptural errors of Trinity, God the Son, Jesus is in the Godhead, the name of God is the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

They believe in a nameless God, because you cannot find one name for three Persons.

They refuse to repent of the pagan beliefs of Christmas (the Bible never asks us to celebrate the Lord’s birth), 25 December, Easter eggs, Easter rabbits, hot cross buns, Good Friday, Lent, elevating a man to be the head of a church, etc.

Now, the corrupted Protestant daughters have added marriage and divorce and remarriage, as well as gay rights and same-sex marriage which is sodomy. They take a marriage vow till death and then break it and take a second marriage vow till death. The first vow cannot be broken, so then they are just living in adultery with the blessing of the church.

The city of Sodom was burned by fire that fell from heaven, which represents the atmosphere. Atomic missiles from Russia, the King of the North, will be the modern-day judgement.

Catholic and Protestant churches deceive the people

ZECHARIAH 5:9   Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.

Two women. The Roman Catholic church and the Protestant church.

Their wings lift them up to heaven as they claim to tell people the mysteries of God.

Wind is a symbol of war and strife.

The spiritual warfare between God and Satan for the control of our human minds takes place in the churches.

The unsaved world is not the big issue as they are in Satan’s clutches, except for those who are still to repent and accept Jesus as their Saviour. God wants us to believe the King James Bible and Satan wants to offer us any kind of alternative to what the King James Bible says. The main battle now is for Satan to distract the saved Christians from understanding the deeper mysteries of God, the King James Bible, that were revealed by William Branham.

DANIEL 12:10   but the wise shall understand.

We cannot be the wise virgins who will be ready for the Coming of the Lord if we do not understand the revealed mysteries of the Bible.

“Hath God said?” is how Satan got the animal serpent to fool Eve.

“Hath God said?” is how Satan reacts to the true Scriptures, casting doubt on the King James Bible by claiming it is not a good translation of the Hebrew and the Greek.

“Wings of a stork”.

Around the world, in many cultures, there is a common belief that storks deliver babies.

The two women, representing Catholic and Protestant churches, claim to deliver eternal life or rebirth to their converts if and only if their converts are faithful to all their man-made church beliefs like celebrating Christmas (an unscriptural word) invented by Pope Julius I around AD 350, and Good Friday (also unscriptural). Churches claim that babies must be christened with a few drops of water before they know how to repent.

Peter said we must repent before we can be baptized.

ACTS 2:38   Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Then, the churches falsely claim that children must be confirmed in their church beliefs when they approach puberty (This is unscriptural). If these children, as they grow up, continue in regular church attendance and good works and do not disagree with the Priest or Pastor or Vicar or Minister, then they can falsely claim that they are saved. Belonging to a church is essential for their salvation, so the churches claim. All those claims are unscriptural.

Nicolaitan is to elevate a man above the congregation

Nico means to conquer. Conquer the laity or congregation.

REVELATION 2:6   But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

“Lifted up the ephah between earth and heaven”. The Roman Catholic church created an artificial Aaronic priesthood between man and God. Priests. Bishops. Cardinals. Pope.

The Aaronic priesthood was ended when the High Priest Caiaphas tore his clothes which broke the law. God then tore up the Temple veil.

LEVITICUS 10:6   And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die,

MATTHEW 26:65   Then the high priest [Caiaphas] rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy;

MATTHEW 27:51   And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom;

About 37 years later God used Rome to destroy the Temple. During the 3½ years of great Tribulation, God will use Russia to destroy Rome in order to get rid of the man-made Roman Catholic church priesthood that is elevated between the Catholic people and God.

The Protestants then wrongly elevated the Pastor to be the head of the church and thus falsely created an artificial Aaronic priesthood of the five-fold ministry that stands between the people and God.

EPHESIANS 4:11   And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

These men have different talents but they are not above the church. They serve the church as servants or ministers.

This is the only New Testament reference to “pastors,” and it does not give a pastor authority to be the head of a church.

A pastor is an elder who exercises pastoral care, helping people with their problems, such as personal, family, work, financial, and faith problems. He is not a person who can reveal the difficult parts of Scripture. That is for the Bible teacher. Pastors struggle to understand the Bible and thus preach from quotes, making the people increasingly Bible-illiterate.

The New Testament is built on the priesthood of Melchizedek. Jesus Christ is the High Priest and every saved Christian automatically becomes a priest. No priest was ever above another priest. No Christian can ever be above another Christian as Christianity is based on a brotherhood.

I PETER 2:17   Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

Respect everyone. Love your enemies. All Christians, irrespective of what ministries they have been granted by the Lord, are equal to each other as they are brothers. No brother is above another brother. Brothers are all equal, despite their differing talents.

We are not in a church. We are the living stones that are the church.

There is no competitive churchianity.

"I am better than you, or my church is better than your church". That is a wrong attitude.

Each individual is a brick or living stone in the great Body of Christ that has been built up over the last 2000 years.

Each person, each living stone, has only one purpose, and that is to uplift and support the Capstone, Jesus Christ.

In His Presence, we all realize how useless we are, and we all fall flat at His feet. That makes us all equal.

I PETER 2:5   Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood,

I CORINTHIANS 12:27   Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

Christians do not belong to some specific church. All Christians belong to the Body of Christ. He alone is their Head.

I CORINTHIANS 12:28   And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

The apostles wrote the New Testament, and the prophets wrote the Old Testament. Teachers are needed to connect the Old and New Testaments, and Bible teachers must prove their doctrines using only the Old and New Testaments.

Pastors are not mentioned when God set some ministries, gifts, and helps in the church.

The stress is on equality. Each person using their spiritual gift to edify the body. Not one man rising to have power over the others. That is the spirit of the Nicolaitans that God hates.

The churches are flying back to their pagan customs

ZECHARIAH 5:10   Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?

This awful ephah of church unbelief that can only produce the heavy death of lead, is on the move. Its aim is to retore the power of paganism with which the Devil ruled the past Gentile kingdoms.

Everyone is on the move.

The Bride is being restored, unnoticed, to the apostolic beliefs of the first church age.

The churches are being restored to the AD 325 Council of Nicaea which opens the door to them to get involved in politics and the pagan religious ideas of ancient Babylon.

The Empire of Babylon was the ancient land of Shinar.

ZECHARIAH 5:11   And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.

Shinar means the land of two rivers. Also known as Babylonia. This is where the city of Babylon was.

The two rivers, Tigris and Euphrates, flow together, showing how the Roman Catholic Church doctrines (represented by the Euphrates River) will eventually capture the Protestant believers (Tigris River) that flow into the Euphrates.

The evil birds are spirits that guide the organized churches are taking them back to their Roman Catholic mother church at the Council of Nicaea in AD 325 which accepted the Babylonian tradition of the Trinity. Church beliefs are now built on their own base as they reject the King James Bible and embrace the unscriptural pagan Babylonian beliefs. Churches even accept the pagan belief of same-sex marriage which is sodomy. That is a great evil. Gentiles are pagans by nature and give utmost respect to the pagan Babylonian beliefs because they are the oldest

Nimrod, the first great rebel against God’s Word, established the first empire here.

GENESIS 10:8   And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

:9   He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.

Nimrod was a hunter for souls.

“Before the Lord”. They listened to Nimrod before they listened to God.

GENESIS 10:10   And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

:11   Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

:12     And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.

Nimrod built up the first Gentile kingdom that included many cities. He taught his men to hunt, and then they turned their weapons on their unsuspecting neighbors and conquered them.

He founded the Babylonian Priesthood. Each Priest was the head of a temple as that was a good business plan. The High Priest was called the Pontiff.

A succession of Pontiffs emerged because each time a Pontiff died, a new Pontiff was elected to replace him.

They thought that "might is right". Conquering became the tactic of Satan.

Around 2300 BC Sargon built up the next empire or kingdom in this area.

But the Babylonian Mysteries had the most prestige because their succession of Pontiffs went right back to Nimrod.

God called Abraham out of paganism

It was around this time, when paganism was well established in the area of Babylonia, that God called Abraham out of Babylonia and took him to the Promised Land of Israel.

Hammurabi, between 1792 and 1750 BC, again established a powerful empire in Babylonia.

The Priesthood of the Babylonian mysteries thus remained a formidable religious force as their Pontiffs formed a succession that lasted all the way from Nimrod in Babylon to the god-kings of the Greek city of Pergamos. When the kingdom of Pergamos was given to Rome, Julius Caesar became Pontiff or High Priest of the Babylonian Mysteries. The Roman Emperor was always the Pontiff until Emperor Theodosius gave the title of Pontiff to Pope Damasus, his uncle, in AD 382.

Then Damasus claimed that the Bishops of Rome formed a Succession started by Saint Peter. The Babylonian Mysteries entered the Roman Catholic church which became Mystery Babylon.

The pagan Barbarians believed that a Grand Interpreter was coming to reveal the mysteries of God. He would be called Petr Roma, the Grand Interpreter. By claiming that Petr Roma was Peter of Rome, the Roman Popes claimed much authority over the pagans. When the Popes claimed to be the Successors of Peter, the Barbarian tribes held the Popes in very high esteem.

The head of the Babylonian mysteries was the Pontiff.

The Pontiff moved from Babylon to Pergamos to escape from the Persian king Cyrus.

The god-kings of Pergamos became the Pontiff for a few generations. Pergamos was finally given to Rome.

Julius Caesar, the famous Roman, became Pontiff as did the Roman Emperors who ruled after him.

In AD 382 the Roman Emperor Theodosius gave the title of Pontiff to Pope Damasus.

Today, the Pope is still called Pontiff. High Priest of the Babylonian Mysteries as he serves his Trinity God Who has no name.
