"For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." (1 Timothy 6:10, KJV)

The verse mentioned above is from the KJV. However, versions such as the NIV, NASB, and others have been revised as many Christians struggle to grasp the true meaning of the verse.

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." (NIV)

The purpose of the change is to emphasize that while "the love of money" is the root of evil, it is not the root of all evil. They state that not all forms of evil are linked to greed. However, these Christians, or so-called Biblical Scholars, fail to grasp the point. This is the reason why God's wrath is so intensely directed at Babylon—due to its indirect connection to "the love of money."

Certainly, the direct connection involves acts like stealing someone's property, trading illegal goods or human beings, committing murder for financial gain, and so on. However, the indirect connection is equally problematic, as it ties to the conveniences afforded by wealth. An individual may lack greedy intentions but still be a participant in this system driven by greed. How? Living as a citizen of Babylon reflects greed, as it grants access to luxuries and comforts that many around the world may never encounter.

This represents the Laodicean Church. The system, Babylon, largely avoids poverty (though homelessness exists in the U.S., it remains significantly better than the conditions faced by individuals in third-world countries). In this system, individuals can purchase a car or a house, shop for desirable items such as clothing, take vacations from work, and enjoy entertainment akin to Roman citizens at the Colosseums, among other things. This is the defining trait of the Laodiceans (Revelation 3:14). They perceive their relationship with God as being defined by their material possessions, such as family, spouse, car, and house. These individuals, who refer to themselves as Christians, are lukewarm in their faith.

Through the comforts Babylon has provided for its people, it has also introduced evils indirectly tied to "the love of money." When this system emerged not long ago, it granted people "more time." While these comforts reduced the stresses of labor, they also allowed time "for reflection." This newfound time led the mind to drift and become receptive to the unseen realm of sinister entities. Whispers from these entities implanted thoughts of distorted and malevolent deeds, which may not be directly linked to greed but are indirectly connected to it.

From this "time" arose various forms of wickedness, including sexual crimes, serial killings, hatred (which leads to profoundly evil deeds), lust, perversions, and similar immoralities. These are the kinds of evils the KJV also references, alongside the evils of greed. Thus, the verse in the KJV accurately states that "the love of money is the root of all evil."

Feature Article

This is not the original piece my father wrote about Trump being the antichrist; instead, it consists of several articles I found elsewhere on the old site. The articles from 2015 to 2016 are missing for some reason, so I need to search through computers and emails to find them. While this pertains to the 2016 election, it is still relevant in exploring why Trump could possibly be the antichrist. Enjoy!

Antipas Papers

The New Antipas Papers - S.R., my father In the late 1970s, Shearer authored the Antipas Papers during a period when his life was teetering on the edge due to PTSD. He wrote it just a decade after serving in Vietnam, an experience that wreaked havoc on his life and continued to haunt him until his final day. Through heartfelt prayers and his devotion to God, he managed to express what had been on his heart for a long time regarding the "End Days." Now, more than 40 years later, his book has grown to encompass additional details about the events leading up to and during the Tribulation. It will help you prepare and stay vigilant for the "Treaty" between Israel and the Antichrist, marking the beginning of the Tribulation. We are approaching that event, so act as the watchman who sounds the trumpet at the onset of the Tribulation.

Articles

Works authored by S.R. Shearer covering events over a span of more than two decades leading to the Last Days. These events pertain to Babylon's identity and the offenses it has committed against the rest of the world. S.R. Shearer exposes the atrocities committed by Babylon to establish itself as the world's most dominant nation—a superpower unrivaled even during periods of weak leadership. S.R. Shearer uncovers spiritual corruption that most Church leaders would avoid, including CIA assassinations, presidents implicated in pedophilia, death squads driven by imperial greed, and other terrifying, shadowy realms that few would dare to confront. He has also explored the link between the Supernatural World and Babylon in his writings. Additionally, he delves into the corruption within the Church's ties to big business and the sacrifices they made for financial gain. He authored these articles to help you prepare for what lies ahead and to grasp the essence of the evil that has persisted into our current era.

Kindly note that numerous articles remain unfinished. I am still working through the articles, revising and updating their format for the new site. I will update the list with articles as I finish them. Additionally, please be aware that some recent articles cannot be modified due to the complexity of their programming, so I will keep them in their original form. I'll aim to upload my father's latest articles from before his passing within the month, though work commitments might delay the process.
