Rome knows how to throw a party and provide its youth with entertainment. World Youth Day 2023 (WYD) is no exception. It came complete with a bedlam of noise straight from the gates of hell: jumping, screaming, loud drum beats, DJs, live energetic music, and plenty of dancing. This was supposed to be a spiritual social gathering for Catholic young people, the largest in the world, but the atmosphere, with its music and dancing, was exactly what you would see in a secular dance party. In fact, WYD is actually worse by comparison because the secular world does not profess to be providing an environment for God’s truth or the Holy Spirit to touch the hearts of young people.
In the video above, Roman Catholic youth are celebrating what they call a “Jesus dance party.” Rome is on a mission to change the law of God, distort the gospel of Jesus Christ, and transform the worship of the Creator. We see this taking place at WYD. The music of the world is being brought into so-called religious services and is offered as strange fire before the Lord. Not only is the Vatican doing this at their events, but they are also working to bring the entire religious world with them on their journey.
Seventh-day Adventist Church leaders are imitating Rome’s dance parties. We have leaders who are modeling our Pathfinders and other youth gatherings after Pope Francis’ World Youth Day celebrations. This is part of the “common ground” that Pope Francis is promoting. It’s all about getting everyone to drink the same wine of Babylon, and many of our church leaders have embarked on the well-worn path of replicating what Rome does with the hope of achieving similar successes and outcomes.
Brothers and sisters, we have pastors and youth directors who are no longer following Jesus or His instructions about worship. Satan’s style of worship is being urged within Adventist circles. Charles Spurgeon, the 19th century English Baptist preacher, said it best when he wrote the following words that describe our current condition:
“Having enough faults of their own, they (God’s people) were yet ready to go to the school of the filthy Canaanites and educate themselves still more in the arts of iniquity. It was certain that they could learn nothing good from men whom the Lord condemned to utter destruction. Few would wish to go to the condemned cell for learning, yet Israel sat at the feet of accursed Canaan and rose up proficient in every abomination” (Charles Spurgeon).
“Many of the amusements popular in the world today, even with those who claim to be Christians, tend to the same end as did those of the heathen. There are indeed few among them that Satan does not turn to account in destroying souls. Through the drama he has worked for ages to excite passion and glorify vice. The opera, with its fascinating display and bewildering music, the masquerade, the dance, the card table, Satan employs to break down the barriers of principle and open the door to sensual indulgence. In every gathering for pleasure where pride is fostered or appetite indulged, where one is led to forget God and lose sight of eternal interests, there Satan is binding his chains about the soul” (Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 459).
“O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths.” Isaiah 3:12.

Rome is responsible for all the abominations on the earth: “ And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.” Revelation 18:24. This includes physical and spiritual desolations.
It’s not a coincidence that what we see in Rome is also taking place in other churches. That is by design. The Jesuits are everywhere transforming Protestantism into an image of the beast.
Well that’s Babylon they’re suppose to act like that.
But the Prophetic Church of Rev 12:17 & 14:12 ??
Sadly too much drinking of wine & eating from Jezebels table have fermented most of the churches.
I am not surprised by anything that the roman catholic church does. The problem is that we as SDA do not see that this infiltration is rampant throughout our church, and we are not doing anything about it. I pray that our fellow SDA brethren will see these abominations for what they are, repent and stop bringing these worship styles into the SDA church. I also, pray that those true believers within the rome will come out of Babylon.
“Corremos el peligro de llegar a ser *UNA HERMANA DE LA CAÍDA BABILONIA* y permitir que nuestras iglesias se corrompan, se llenen de todo espíritu inmundo y alberguen a toda ave inmunda y aborrecible. ¿Podremos ver claramente nuestra situación y no proceder en forma decidida a curar los males existentes?” Testimonios sobre conducta sexual, adulterio y divorcio. P.212
Fíjense que no es una hija, sino una hermana. ¿Por qué? Porque las hijas son engañadas y manipuladas por la Madre, Babilonia la Grande, como lo son las iglesias evangélicas. Es una hermana porque no es engañada, sino que repetirá el mismo error de la iglesia católica, que teniendo y conociendo la verdad como la iglesia primitiva, la vendió por comodidad propia, de manera de ganar popularidad y aceptación.
“We are in danger of becoming A SISTER OF THE FALLEN BABYLON and allowing our churches to become corrupted, filled with every unclean spirit and home to every unclean and hateful bird. Can we clearly see our situation and not proceed decisively to cure existing ills? Testimonies about sexual conduct, adultery and divorce. P.212
Notice that she is not a daughter, but a sister. Because? Because the daughters are deceived and manipulated by the Mother, Babylon the Great, as are the evangelical churches. She is a sister because she is not deceived, but she will repeat the same mistake of the Catholic Church, that having and knowing the truth like the primitive church, she sold it for her own convenience, in order to gain popularity and acceptance.
I turned to look at the company who were still bowed before the throne; they did not know that Jesus had left it. Satan appeared to be by the throne, trying to carry on the work of God. I saw them look up to the throne, and pray, “Father, give us Thy Spirit.” Satan would then breathe upon them an unholy influence; in it there was light and much power, but no sweet love, joy, and peace. Satan’s object was to keep them deceived and to draw back and deceive God’s children. Early Writings, p. 56
Read the previous 2-3 paragraphs to get the context. EGW is contrasting those who have followed Christ into the Most Holy Place of the Sanctuary with those who have stayed behind in the Holy Place where Christ no longer receives their prayers because since 1844, He is no longer ministering there.
