By their own admission, the world's largest Baptist denomination and the largest Protestant denomination in the US, the Southern Baptist Convention, would not have come into existence without the financial support of the Rockefellers!
Two resolutions of the 2018 SBC:
Resolution 12 - The founding of this ministry would not be possible without the generous gifts of the Sunday School Board and of both John D. Rockefeller Sr. and John D. Rockefeller Jr.. That we give thanks to the Rockefeller family for its generosity in providing the financial backing at the start of the ministry; {1}
Resolution 14 - On Commemorating The Life And Ministry Of Billy Graham.. {2}
The history of the Rockefellers goes back to John D. Rockefeller Senior (1839-1937). Rockefeller founded the Standard Oil Company and became one of the world's wealthiest men. However the methods he used to gain his wealth were utterly despicable. Whilst claiming to be a devout Baptist, Rockefeller's love of money took precedence over every Christian virtue he supposedly possessed. (1 Timothy 6:10). In the early 1870s Rockefeller secretly implemented what he called
"our plan", to devastating effect. He colluded with the railroads to eliminate his competitors and used underhand predatory price fixing in order to create a monopoly. He became a reviled capitalist and one of Americas most hated men. On May 15th 1911, the Supreme Court ordered the dissolution of Standard Oil Company, ruling that it was in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Journalist Ida Tarbell was deeply impacted by Rockefeller's unscrupulous tactics as a child. Her own father's business was destroyed and she witnessed the ruin of many of her father’s colleagues at the hands of Standard Oil. Later in life, Ida Tarbell tackled Rockefeller head on and published a series of articles condemning Standard Oil in
McClure’s Magazine from 1902-1904. Her book,
The History of the Standard Oil Company, published in 1904 lead to the Hepburn Act in 1906 to oversee the railroads, the 1910 Mann-Elkins Act which gave the Interstate Commerce Commission power over oil rates, and the creation of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in 1914.
Ida Tarbell: "In walking through the world there is a choice for a man to make. He can choose the fair and open path, the path which sound ethics, sound democracy, and the common law prescribe, or choose the secret way by which he can get the better of his fellow man. It was that choice made by powerful men that suddenly confronted the Oil Region. The sly, secret, greedy way won in the end, and bitterness and unhappiness and incalculable ethical deterioration for the country at large came out of that struggle and others like it which were going on all over the country an old struggle with old defeats but never without men willing to make stiff fights for their rights, even if it cost them all they ever hoped to possess." "Justin Kaplan has pointed out: 'As an independent in Titusville, he (Franklin Summer Tarbell) and his partner had fallen victim to Standard Oil; the partner shot himself, and Franklin Tarbell went into debt.'" {3}
How can the SBC be proud of their association with, and grateful to the Rockefellers and their tainted wealth?
Rockefeller later became known as a great philanthropist, but his so called
"generosity" was a cover for
"globalisation" i.e. the operation or planning of economic and foreign policy on a global basis. In effect the evil tactics Rockefeller inflicted through Standard Oil was quite literally the dress rehearsal for globalisation. The Rockefellers, amongst other so called
"Luciferian elites", have taken control of the whole world's finances piecemeal behind the spurious facade of philanthropy! The globalist agenda perpetrated by these
"elites" is no less than the spirit of Antichrist and the beginnings of the New World Order prophesied in the bible. The final world empire will be a global government, ruled by the man the scriptures identify as the Antichrist, aka the beast and the man of sin. (
Revelation 13:4;
2 Thessalonians 2:8). He will have
“authority over every tribe, people, language and nation”, and he, along with the False Prophet, will compel all people to take his mark. This future global leader will control all financial transactions (
Revelation 13:17) and all religious observance (
Revelation 13:8). Refusal to worship the Antichrist will result in persecution and death for true followers of Jesus Christ. Those who yield to the Antichrist and take the mark will ultimately invoke eternal punishment from God. (
Revelation 13:15;
14:9-11).
Ida Tarbell: "He has led a life devoted to charity and the church. True. And the principles of the religion he professes are so antagonistic to the principles of the business he practices that the very world which emulates him has been turned into hypocrites and cynics under his tutelage. While, in the world which look on, charity itself has become hateful to many a man – a cloak to cover a multitude of sins. Others actually withdraw their bequests from institutions which accept his funds. (It has been stated on the best authority that three wills making bequests to one of our leading universities have been changed because this institution has accepted money from Mr. Rockefeller). Not only has charity been tainted by the hypocrisy of his life, the church itself has been polluted and many a man has turned away from its doors because of the servile support it gives to the men of whom Mr. Rockefeller is the most eminent type. "{4}
Rockefeller's unregenerate nature surfaced again later in life as he developed a reputation as a dirty old man:
Ron Chernow: "Everybody notices that he's fascinated with women. If he meets a group of pretty young women, he will invite them to play golf or come to lunch. One of his many rituals was that every afternoon at 3:15 he and eight to ten other people would take a drive in the country. And John D. always sat in the middle of the back seat and he preferred to have a buxom lady on his right and one to his left. He would then take a blanket and he would draw the blanket up to their chins and then his hands would be straying underneath. The back seat became known as the 'hot seat'. And there is a recorded episode of a young woman jumping out of the hot seat, running back to the second car, and telling the driver, 'That old rooster oughta be handcuffed!' So he developed a reputation for these wandering hands..'" {5}
According to the New York Times, Rockefeller Snr's benefactions from 1855 to 1934 totalled $530,853,632. Most of this money went to the four foundations he established for the purpose of handling his charities. They were the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial, and the General Education Board. The University of Chicago was another large beneficiary. {6} Roman Catholic Institutions have also benefited from Rockefeller wealth. {6}
The
Sunday School Board, now
LifeWay Christian Resources, was founded in 1891 after receiving approval from the Southern Baptist Convention. In February 2006, Dr. Thomas Rainer became the president and CEO of
LifeWay. Rainer left his post as Dean of the
Billy Graham School of Evangelism of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary to assume the presidency of
LifeWay. LifeWay was noted to have
"a bent towards ecumenism", by Emir Caner, president of
Truett-McConnell College in Cleveland, Ga in 2012. {7} These days
LifeWay promotes books by ecumenical false teachers Beth Moore and Priscilla Shirer amongst others.
The Rockefeller Foundation funded Nazi racial studies even after it was clear that this research was being used to rationalise the demonising of Jews and other groups. {8}
In 1946 John D. Rockefeller Jr. bought an18 acre plot of land in New York and donated it to the godless United Nations. The Rockefeller family provided immense support, initially to the League of Nations, and later to the United Nations. {9}
"It is clear that the Rockefeller and Rothschild families both created the United Nations, without them the development of this global organization would not be possible." {10} The Rockefellers also played a part in the United Nations Publishing House,
Lucis Trust (formerly
Lucifer Trust), which was established in 1922 by occultist Alice Baily in order to promote the books of the Theosophical Society.
In 1919, John D. Rockefeller Junior funded a new ecumenical organisation, the
Interchurch World Movement (IWM). Although the
IWM was short lived, it began the process of consolidating religions and watering down biblical dogma. Professor Charles Harvey, who wrote a history of the IWM, traced the roots of the
“social gospel” and the resulting battle between fundamental Christians and liberalism back to Rockefeller’s
Interchurch World Movement: "
Upon investigating the IWM, Harvey found that the historical information that most historians and researchers were using to research the IWM had been directly prepared by the lawyer of John D. Rockefeller Jr., a man named Raymond B. Fosdick. The doctored information, writes Harvey, was '…compiled precisely to conceal the real role Rockefeller played in the organization.'” {11} In 1908 the
Federal Council of Churches (FCC) replaced the
IWM. In 1950 the
FCC joined with other ecumenical bodies to form the
National Council of Churches. Today, the
World Council of Churches has strong links with the United Nations and continues to promote the ecumenical agenda globally.
Chateau de Bossey, located in Switzerland, functions as the World Council of Churches Ecumenical Institute. The Institute was bought with money given to the WCC by John D. Rockefeller Jr. [11]
The Rockefeller family is said to be one of the thirteen satanic bloodlines that rule the world. It is strange that the world domination of the elites is called a "conspiracy theory". There is actually nothing theoretical about it. The Rockefellers make no secret of the fact that they are globalists:
David Rockefeller:“For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure–one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.“ {12}
David Rockefeller's 1991 Bilderberg Speech: "We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march toward a world government. . . . The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." {13}
The Rockefellers provide large amounts of money to various seminaries, universities and religious organisations like the SBC. Without the patronage of the Rockefellers, such organisation would not exist. The influence the Rockefellers wield also extends to the media so that their puppets are guaranteed favourable publicity.
Interestingly the Rockefellers supported Billy Graham's 1958 New York Crusade to the sum of $50,000. William Randolph Hearst, American businessman, politician, and newspaper publisher, built the nation's largest newspaper chain and media company Hearst Communications. Hearst worked closely with the Rockefellers and in 1949 he gave the order to his newspaper editors to "Puff Graham". American magazine magnate Henry R Luce also played a significant part in making Billy Graham a household name. It should be noted that both Hearst and Luce were Knights of Malta, as were John D Rockefeller Snr, John D Rockefeller Jnr, Nelson Rockefeller, David Rockefeller and Amschel Mayer Rothschild. The Knights of Malta aka the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM) is a Roman Catholic lay order that requires an oath of obedience to the pope and is universally associated with the Masonic Knights Templar. Incidentally, Queen Elizabeth II is a dame of the Order of Malta.
The "Jean Dixon Special Receipt", is a term that refers to regular monthly payments that Billy Graham received from self proclaimed psychic and astrologer Jean Dixon on behalf of the Illuminati. As well as being a "mystic", Dixon claimed to be a devout Roman Catholic. A copy of a letter Billy Graham sent to her in 1967 stated: "The Jean Dixon Special Receipt is excellent."
In a national radio broadcast in the United States, titled Embrace America 2000, Billy Graham told his listeners, "We need to embrace the New World Order". {14}
Many mixed ecumenical messages proceed from the SBC, despite the fact that they have historically resisted ecumenism, at least outwardly:
Resolution on Southern Baptists and ecumenism, New Orleans 1996:
"True Biblical unity can only be realized in the bond of truth, and never at the expense of Biblical truth;" {15} Nevertheless their
"cooperation" with various other groups in
"..appropriate evangelistic enterprises, and on issues of justice, morality, and religious liberty both at home and abroad", should trigger alarm bells! {15} In 1994 the SBC pursued ongoing Southern Baptist-Roman Catholic conversation. Rick Warren's Purpose Driven
Saddleback Church and false ecumenical teacher Beth Moore are just two examples of unacceptable Southern Baptist compromise!
My conclusion: The SBC is a hybrid denomination contaminated with the Luciferian leaven of the Rockefellers and is on course to become part of the global church of the Antichrist. Rockefeller sponsorship definitely should not be considered a blessing by any means since it is a cover for the spirit of Antichrist to progress the one world religion. The vehicle for the future one world religion is the ecumenical movement presently being spearheaded by the Roman Catholic Church. Supposed advantages gained from vile Rockefeller wealth is actually a curse not a blessing! It appears that everyone is happy at the SBC, at least superficially. How long this temporary situation will last is difficult to say!
I have not even scratched the surface of the unfaithfulness that is
really going on within mainstream Christianity, the SBC being only one example.
The Man of Lawlessness
1Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, 2not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. 5Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. 7For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. 8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. 9The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
(2 Thessalonians 2:1-12).
