REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Seventeen - 'Slaughtered Souls' Rewarded - Continue

 By the fourth century C.E. , that old Serpent, Satan the Devil, had brought forth his masterpiece of deception, the apostate religion of Christendom -a Babylonish system hidden under a "Christian veneer.  It is the principal part of the seed of the Serpent and has developed into a multitude of conflicting sects.  Like  unfaithful Judah of old, Christendom carries a heavy bloodguilt, having been deeply involved in both sides in World War I and II.  Some political rulers  in Christendom even used these wars  as a pretext for slaughtering  anointed servants of God.  Reporting on Hitler's persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses, a review of Friedrich Zipfel's book  Kirchenkampf in Deutschland (Fight of the Churches in Germany) stated: One third of them [the Witnesses] were killed, either by execution or slave labor. The severity of this subjection was without precedent and was the result of uncompromising faith that could not be harmonized with National Socialistic ideology." Truly, it can be said of Christendom, including its priesthood:  "In you skirts there been found blood marks of the souls of the innocent poor ones." - Jeremiah 2:3, 4.
