Saint Martin Luther (November 10, 1483 - February 18, 1546).

October is Reformation month and October 31 is Reformation Day.

It is beyond belief, but 494 years after the beginning of the blessed Reformation, the city of Rome is still occupied territory.

Martin Luther became a MONK when he entered the Augustinian Order in 1505. At that time, most Latin Church members believed that the surest road to heaven was to enter a monastery or nunnery and spend your life doing penance....Penance was substituted for repentance by Jerome's corrupt Latin Vulgate Version.

Martin Luther as a Latin Church monk.

Martin Luther was an Augustinian monk who posted his 95 Theses on October 31, 1517. October 31—now called Halloween—was the big day for the deadly Celtic Druids of Britain and Ireland. The Latin Church monastic orders were founded by these deadly Druids.

October 31, 1517, was the official beginning of the Reformation.

Saint Martin Luther was divinely inspired to begin the glorious Reformation on that particular day because it was one of the chief festivals of the Druids, and always included bloody human sacrifices to their false god named Esus.

Western monasticism was founded by the Druids!!

The groundwork for western monasticism was laid by 2 Druid monks: Jerome and Benedict.

Druid Jerome massacred the Bible and changed the Messiah's name to Jesus. This was to make his name conform to the Druid false god named Esus. Druid Benedict of Nursia was the father of western monasticism.

Benedict of Nursia (480 - 547).

Every teaching and practice of Papal monasticism can be found in Druidry centuries before the rise of the Papacy: Male and female celibacy, the round tonsure, the long years of training, chanting in choir, special dress, human sacrifices, excommunication, etc., etc., were all a vital part of Druidism:

The tonsure was one of the ceremonies connected with initiation. As practiced in the Roman church the tonsure, the first of the four minor orders conferred upon aspirants to the priesthood, is undoubtedly a Druidical survival. (Wright, Druidism: The Ancient Faith of Britain, p. 61).

Here is another quote by an expert on Druids:

The period of novitiate and the character of the training of an aspirant to the Druidical priesthood was as lengthy and as rigorous as that of an aspirant to membership of the Society of Jesus, better known as the Jesuit Society. It lasted for twenty years and, although the candidates were, in general, enlisted from the families of nobles, many youths in other ranks of life also entered voluntarily upon the novitiate, and very frequently boys were dedicated to the priestly life by their parents from and early age. None but freemen were admitted as aspirants so that a slave seeking admission into the Order had first to obtain his freedom from his master, (Wright, Druidism: The Ancient Faith of Britain, p. 60).

It took 20 years for a Druid to learn all the magic spells, incantations, curses, poison potions, and other diabolical arts of his master Satan. The super-secretive Druids never put any of their teachings in writing and never wanted any of their diabolical history written down.

Druidism began with the expulsion of the GIANTS from Canaan!!

The Druid's false religion began with the expulsion of the giants from Canaan around 1500 BC. JEHOVAH commanded Joshua to drive out the wicked giants from Canaan in order to establish his people in the Holy Land.

Many of the giants escaped and found a refuge in the British Isles and in the New World.

The deadly super-secretive Men of Oak called Druids ruled Britannia from about 1500 BC. Druidism started with the expulsion of the GIANTS from Canaan by the sword of Joshua. They were so wicked that even the brutal Romans outlawed them.

Stonehenge was built by the giants.

At the beginning of the blessed Reformation, the British Isles—the home of Druidism—was once again crawling with Druids. The only difference was the Druids now acknowledged the Papal Pontiff in Rome instead of their own Arch Druid.

Druidism began to flourish again with the arrival of Augustine from Rome in 597. The only difference was the Druids now acknowledged the Papal Pontiff in Rome instead of their own Arch Druid.

Ruins of Druid Netley Abbey in Hampshire.

Human sacrifices continued in the Druid monasteries . . . but in the cellars and not under the oak trees....Recalcitrant monks or nuns who wanted to leave the abbeys often ended up sacrificed with dreadful torments in the cellars.

Thank JEHOVAH that he raised up a champion in Saint Martin Luther to fight this deadly Druid religion.

Druidism received a mighty blow at the Reformation but continued its covert existence.

The printing press was God's gift to Saint Martin Luther!!

In 1450, Johannes Gutenberg invented printing from movable type....This was one of the greatest inventions in the history of the world.

JEHOVAH gave the printing press to Saint Martin Luther so that he could fight this Papal/Druid religion with the pen . . . which is a lot mightier than the sword.

Gutenberg printing press.

Wittenberg was the printing capital of the world for at least 50 years after the beginning of the Reformation. Saint Martin's press threw OCEANS of ink at the devil.

Saint Martin Luther's 95 Theses were all over Europe in the short space of a month—thanks to the newly invented printing press.

The Donation of Constantine forgery prepared the way for the Reformation!!

Marvelous are the ways of JEHOVAH....Emperor Constantine was the founder of the Latin Papacy . . . and the exposure of the forged Donation of Constantine began its downfall.

This Donation was based on the legend that Pope Sylvester cured Emperor Constantine of leprosy and then baptized him. As a "thank you" to the Pope, Constantine gave him dominion over Italy and all the lands in the Western world!!

According to Constantine's biographer Eusebius of Caesarea, Constantine was not baptized until shortly before his death in 337.

Ulrich von Hutten (1488 -1523).

Italian author Lorenzo Valla was the first to expose the fake Donation of Constantine. Ulrich von Hutten printed Lorenzo Valla's book in 1517. Saint Martin read his book, and was filled with righteous indignation at the blatant forgery!

Lorenzo Valla (1407 -1457).

At the supposed time of the Donation, Constantinople did not even exist as a city:

And we ordain and decree that he shall have the supremacy as well over the four chief seats Antioch, Alexandria, Constantinople and Jerusalem, as also over all the churches of God in the whole world. And he who for the time being shall be pontiff of that holy Roman church shall be more exalted than, and chief over, all the priests of the whole world; and, according to his judgment, everything which is to be provided for the service of God or the stability of the faith of the Christians is to be administered. (Medieval Sourcebook, The Donation of Constantine).

Saint Martin Luther was filled with righteous indignation at this blatant forgery, and it made him realize for the first time that the Pope was indeed that Antichrist predicted by Christ and the Apostles. Here is an except from a letter Saint Martin wrote to his friend George Spalatin:

I have at hand Lorenzo Valla's proof (edited by Hutten) that the Donation of Constantine is a forgery. Good heavens! what darkness and wickedness is at Rome! You wonder at the judgment of God that such unauthentic, crass, impudent lies not only lived but prevailed for so many centuries, that they were incorporated in the canon law, and (that no degree of horror might be wanting) that they became articles of faith. I am in such a passion that I scarcely doubt that the Pope is Antichrist expected by the world, so closely do their acts, lives, sayings and laws agree. But more of this when I see you. If you have not yet seen the book, I shall take care that you read it. (Smith, The Life and Letters of Martin Luther, p. 73).

According to the Donation of Constantine, the Pope was too exalted to be under any mere civil power, so he must have his own state.

The city of Rome is still occupied territory!!

It is beyond belief, but 494 years after the beginning of the blessed Reformation, the city of Rome is still occupied territory.

Vatican City map.

Vatican City State occupies 110 acres or 44 hectares of the city of Rome. This occupied area is based on the forged Donation of Constantine and it is not subject to the Italian Republic.

Vatican City State.

This occupation is still based on the phony Donation of Constantine. This area is not subject to the Italian government with its headquarters in the Palazzo Chigi just a few blocks away.

179 nations have diplomatic relations with this occupying power, and every one of those nations also has an ambassador to the Italian Republic.

Italian Embassy in Washington City.

Rome has 2 embassies in Washington City.

Vatican Embassy in Washington City.

The United States, and most of the nations of the world, are represented by two different ambassadors from the same country of Italy.

One represents an absolute monarch, who claims to be God or Christ on earth, and the other represents a Republic, of the people, by the people, and for the people.

St. Paul—the founder of Christianity at Rome—said this about a Christian's relationship to the government:

Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. (Romans 13:1-3).

When St. Paul wrote these words, the tyrant Nero was Emperor. St. Paul never advised the Christians to overthrow him and create their own state, or establish another capital for the Roman Empire.
