A career in business and finance took him all over the world. He had early leanings to the New Age Movement. In later life he conducted an extensive search of the occult. Out of that he was converted to Christ. He began writing about deception from a Christian perspective in 1983, and authored a number of books. With his wife, Roy Livesey published New Age Bulletin which had a worldwide circulation and provided regular updates on the New Age, the New World Order and deception in the professing Church. This book marks a further step. Alberto Rivera – the True Story exposes a master deceiver. 8 EDITOR’S PREFACE This book by Roy Livesey is a devastating and unanswerable blow to the false claims of Alberto Rivera, one of the greatest religious deceivers of modern times, indeed of all time. Others have written shorter exposés of him (including myself), but none did such a thoroughly researched, exhaustive job. He travelled extensively to conduct his research, accumulating a massive amount of documented information. The result is this definitive exposé of a master deceiver, manipulator, liar and fraud. Not only did I correspond with Roy Livesey for many years, but I knew him personally, as he stayed with my wife and I for a couple of weeks in our home in 1996. Although disagreeing with him on certain issues, I considered him to be a friend and Christian brother, with a sincere desire to serve the Lord Jesus Christ. It was with much sadness that I received the news that he had passed away in 2016. The draft for this book was completed in 1992, although my own personal manuscript copy, given to me by the author, has a few notations which he added in 1993. However, this is the first time the book has been published, as far as is known. Although he always wanted to publish it, for various reasons he was unable to do so. It has remained in manuscript form only, copies of which are owned by just a handful of people, until now. My reasons for editing this book, and publishing it as an ebook, are as follows. Firstly, Roy Livesey passed away before it could be published, and I, along with many others, believe it to be an exceptionally important, thoroughly researched work, the fruit of years of labour and investigation, which should not be lost to the world, for the message is vitally important. Secondly, I knew Alberto Rivera personally, having spent three weeks with him and some of his co-workers in Los Angeles in 1985; and for a time afterwards, although I never officially became a part of his A.I.C. Ministries, my ministry, Bible Based Ministries, acted as his representative for Africa and other parts of the world. And thirdly, I personally knew, and still know, some of those who were part of Rivera’s organisation and members of his church, and I was privy to much that transpired in those memorable days when they forsook Rivera and expelled him from the pastorate and membership of his church in Los Angeles. I have therefore always had a close personal interest in the stranger-than-fiction story of Alberto Rivera. The fact that this book was completed in 1992 must always be borne in mind when reading it, for Rivera was still alive at the time. He died in 1997. But it would be a grave mistake to assume that his immense influence died with him, for it did not. Considering how many multiplied millions of the Chick comic books bearing Rivera’s false testimony are in circulation all over the world, and are still being published, his influence will be felt for a very,

    Written Proof: Vatican/Jesuit conspiracy against USA + world Written Proof (of the Vatican/Jesuit conspiracy against USA + the whole world) https://www.RestoreMBI.com/written-proof.htm https://www.RestoreMBI.com/written-proof.pdf Hello fellow followers of Christ and prayer partners, This is a #RedAlert. What you are about to see is #written #proof from #Catholic #quotes of a very large #conspiracy. The #Vatican has planned to take over the #United #States of #America and #rule it, and the #world through the USA. And they plan to ruin it like they did to #Europe. And the Catholic leaders say they must kill/murder those who reject or oppose their #lawyers and “#doctrines”. #Chiniquy risked his life to tell you what they said, and yes they killed/murdered him for exposing their evil and crimes. But each of us can stop them. Watch for anyone who got Catholic or Jesuit training and oppose everything they do. Starting with the Catholic/Jesuit Supreme Court, and Jesuit Donald Trump, and including the Senate and House representatives, and all of their lawyers. Their Catholic or Jesuit training helps them look like us and sound like us, while they destroy good things from their inside positions. A man named Charles Chiniquy, was a contemporary of DL Moody and later became a friend of DL Moody and of Abraham Lincoln. Chiniquy was a Vatican “priest” for 50 years, but turned against the Vatican after the start of the USA Civil War. Chiniquy kept clashing against the leadership until God helped him to finally see that he needed to leave the Vatican system.

Appendix 2 – ‘Khazars,’ ‘Conspiracy,’ Holocaust - 2010 Notes.......... 47 1 Introduction Author’s Note: This work was first compiled in 2002. Some new material has been added in Appendix 2. Israel is a small nation. She occupies a mere 33,000 square miles, approximately one third the size of Great Britain. The nation of Israel contains less than six million inhabitants. Yet she is almost never out of the mainstream news. A word search on ‘Israel’ on the BBC site alone (in September 2002) yields over 9,000 ‘hits’, whereas a search for ‘Iraq’, arguably one of the most important nations in the Middle East for Britain, yields less than 7,000. Searches for Israel’s other nearest neighbours yield approximately 3,000 for ‘Egypt’, 6,000 for ‘Iran’, 2,000 for ‘Jordan’, 2,000 for ‘Kuwait’, 2,000 for Libya, 3,000 for ‘Saudi Arabia’, 2,000 for ‘Syria’ and 5,000 for Turkey. It is noteworthy that with the exception of Jordan and Libya, all these nations are more heavily populated than Israel, some of them several-fold. Yet given that the additional word ‘Palestinians’ yields almost 8,000 ‘hits’, Israel and her Palestinian problem individually far outstrip any of her neighbours with respect to western (or at least British) interest.

    Mystery Babylon: Myths & Errors of Interpretation

    Mystery Babylon: Myths & Errors of Interpretation By R.A. Coombes Author of: “America, The Babylon: Vols. 1, 2” http://www.americathebabylon.com Publisher of: The Alpha-Omega Report An Online Prophecy News & Studies Magazine http://www.aoreport.com © 2008 by R.A. Coombes Introduction: The subject of “Mystery Babylon” has fascinated many Bible Prophecy students in the past twenty years or so as questions arise as to the identity of Mystery Babylon. There are many different theories proposed as to the identification, all but two are fairly new. This recent upsurge of different theories has provoked many a debate within internet discussion forums whether they be Christian or secular forums. As a scholarly researcher on the subject since 1987, I have developed a vast treasure house of facts, data points if you will, on the subject of Mystery Babylon and all of its facets, not merely the identity issue. What I have noticed in various online discussion forums by posters making assertions on the subject of Mystery Babylon, is that a lot of myths and errors are stated and repeated over and over, again and again, creating tremendous confusion. In an effort to counter this problem, it seemed appropriate to me to present at least some of the factual inaccuracies and set the record straight What follows is an attempt to list some of the more egregious, factual errors on the subject and present the correct those errors for the record. Myth/Error #1. – The name of “Mystery Babylon” Many people refer to the prophetic passages of Revelation chapters 17 and 18 as referring to a “Mystery Babylon” as if “Mystery” was part of the title name.

    The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop

    Modern Babylon (Rev. 17:5) is the Roman Catholic Church Where did the practices and beliefs of Roman Catholicism come from? In this scholarly classic, first published over eighty years ago, Alexander Hislop reveals that many Roman Catholic teachings did not originate with Christ or the Bible, but were adopted from ancient pagan Babylonian religion, and given Christian names. Although difficult reading, this book accurately provides a fascinating historical in-depth examination of the shocking similarities between the practices of ancient Babylonian religion and those of today's Roman Catholic church. See how a religion that was started by Nimrod and his wife spread to various regions, taking on different names, but keeping the same pagan rituals and trappings. These same rituals embody the Catholic church of today.

The Gutenberg printing press brought the Bible to the common man but that was not all. Bible literature in small doses became widely used to whet the appetite for more of God’s word. Most revivals were preceded by a saturation blitz of gospel tracts stirring the people to conviction. Chick tracts are no different —the cartoon pictures simply adapt the ageless message to a format for the visual generation.
  • The 1611 Holy Bible Versus “Three Unclean Spirits”

    The 1611 Holy Bible Versus “Three Unclean Spirits”

    The 1611 Holy Bible versus “three unclean spirits” Revelation 16:13 Introduction This work is another instalment in the series that shows how the 1611 Holy Bible counters its critics and leaves them “guilty before God” Romans 3:19. The 1611 Holy Bible counters three such critics in this work and shows them to be typified by “three unclean spirits” Revelation 16:13 namely “a lying spirit” 1 Kings 22:22, 23, 2 Chronicles 18:21, 22, “a perverse spirit” Isaiah 19:14 and “a spirit of an unclean devil” Luke 4:33. That is God’s judgement on those individuals for having “mocked the messengers of God, and des- pised his words” 2 Chronicles 36:16 even though professing the contrary “by good words and fair speeches” Romans 16:18. This is how this work unfolded. This writer compiled a book entitled Britain Under Siege in the year 2000 published by Christian Concern about the threat to this nation from the pope’s EU, other Catholic threats, the threat of Mo- hammedanism and the sinful abandonment of the 1611 Holy Bible by church and nation that has left Britain “like a city that is broken down, and without walls” Proverbs 25:28 in the face of these and other serious threats. At about the same time, Dr Ian Sadler published a more detailed work that addresses the same mate- rial entitled Mystery, Babylon the Great (The Church or Rome and the European Union Exposed to the Light of Truth).

After researching the topic of biblical typology in the works of theologians Sir Robert Anderson, G.H. Pember, Arthur W. Pink, and Peter S. Ruckman, who propose various personages of both the Old and New Testaments that adumbrate the Antichrist, I devise a reduced list based on extant plays of the Spanish Golden Age whose main characters match the scriptural counterparts of my register. These characters are Cain, Absalom, Haman, Herod the Great, Judas Iscariot, and the Antichrist himself. I consult the Bible to provide the reader with pertinent background information about these foreshadowings of the Son of Perdition and then I compare and contrast these characteristics with those provided by the playwrights in their respective works. By making these comparisons and contrasts the reader is able to observe the poets’ embellishments of the source material, artistic contributions that in many instances probably satisfy the reader’s desire for details not found in the biblical iv narratives.

    The Visual Culture of Chick Tracts and Its Problems with Communication Philip Forness 7 August 2008 2 I. Introduction In the 1960s, a group of comic artists began to differentiate their comic books from those that were prevalent in the first half of the twentieth century. Although many chroniclers of what came to be called the Underground Comics Movement have dated the beginnings of the movement to Robert Crumb’s Zap Comix in 1968 (Figure 1), it is readily admitted that there had been traces of the movement’s ideas before. In any case, from Crumb’s series the movement spread widely, notably including Harvey Kurtzmann of MAD Magazine, and later including Art Spiegelman, won the Pulitzer Prize for Maus. The earliest works in the movement display a deliberate disregard for taboos on portraying sexual scenes, exploring drug use, and challenging political assumptions (see Figure 2). Likewise, some artists of the movement used the comic book medium to satirize religion. Most notably, Frank Stack under the pseudonym Foolbert Sturgeon wrote The New Adventures of Jesus, a series of comics exploring how ridiculous it would be were Jesus in modern culture (see Figure 3). These themes attracted an adult crowd interested in defining themselves against the contemporary norm. While these comic artists were not the first to use comics for discourse among adults, their comics marked the first time that a widely-recognized, sustained subculture would emerge around adult-comics. Matthew Pustz observes that the comic artists’ willingness to portray drug use “worked to reinforce the community between the creators and their audience by emphasizing their shared experience.”1 Reveling in their otherness defined against the prim and proper façade of the 1960s, a family of collectors and creators formed around these comic books that would play a role in the progressive movements of the coming decades.
