Now all they have to add to the entertainment of these sports is that of killing people, then it will be as in Rome’s times of the gladiator games!

A cleric from the local mosque was invited to oversee the sacrifice and published a picture of the unfortunate black sheep being led out onto the pitch on a cart.

Hours before the Scottish champions arrived at the Astana Arena for a training session on the plastic pitch, the Kazakhstan side had again killed a sheep in order to bring them good luck.

The sacrifice took place at a tunnel in the corner of the stadium before the Shakhter players were put through their paces by coach Viktor Kumykov, who was later coy about the “tradition.”

The Celtic manager was asked about the home side’s unusual pre-match ritual at his press conference and said: “You have to respect that. It is a different culture. Players have their own superstitions.

“We have a very diverse group of players from different parts of the world, different religions and you respect that. They…

Who Is “Babylon the Great?”

    Does anyone know of new information on this mystery from the book of Revelation? Some book authors write that it is a political entity, or the world’s commerce. And some religious groups; (like WTB&TS) believe that Babylon the Great represents all false churches, but their own! We think it’s religious groups, and organized churches that go beyond God‘s laws. Please share your thoughts as well; is Babylon the Great only Christendom, or does she represent all major religions?

The Bible calls Babylon the Great, “mother of the harlots.” -Rev. 17

It shows her riding the ten kingdoms, AKA “the Wild Beast” -Rev. 13

She’s whore to kings, and the military is fearful she fell. -Rev. 18

Commerce becomes depressed; their partner is gone. -Rev. 18

    If we don’t want to share in her fate, how serious should we become at leaving her? God says: “Get out!” In the Bible times, Babylon was a kingdom of a thousand temples. Before that a place called Bebel that built a tower to the heavens, later spread false religion around the globe. Also; YHWH God charged ancient Israel with destroying the false worship of Baal. In our common era, Jesus accused the religious leaders of false worship and instructed his disciples to not imitate these hypocrites.

    True worship is therefore; not dictated by religious leaders that speak for their organization. Jesus said to: “Worship God with spirit and truth”, this does not include being subservient to money-making theological schools or corporations. Nor, does this mean that we blindly follow a beloved pastor, as “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” As individuals, families and study groups; it’s imperative that we take responsibility for our personal relationship with our Heavenly Father! The Babylon of all false religion will continue to lead the masses to the same place, destruction!
