The first Jesuits were crypto‑Jews.�� Ignatius Loyola himself was a crypto‑Jew of the Occult

���� Cabala.�� A crypto‑Jew is a Jew who converts to another religion and outwardly embraces the new

���� religion, while secretly maintaining Jewish practices. As John Torell explains: "In 1491 San Ignacio de

���� Loyola was born in the Basque province of Guipuzcoa, Spain.�� His parents were Marranos and at the

���� time of his birth the family was very wealthy. As a young man he became a member of the Jewish

���� Illuminati order in Spain. As a cover for his crypto Jewish activities, he became very active as a

���� Roman Catholic. On May 20, 1521 Ignatius (as he was now called) was wounded in a battle, and

���� became a semi‑cripple. Unable to succeed in the military and political arena, he started a quest for

���� holiness and eventually ended up in Paris where he studied for the priesthood. In 1539 he had

���� moved to Rome where he founded the "JESUIT ORDER," which was to become the most vile, bloody

���� and persecuting order in the Roman Catholic Church.�� In 1540, the current Pope Paul III approved

���� the order. At Loyola's death in 1556 there were more than 1000 members in the Jesuit order,

���� located in a number of nations."

���� Ignatius of Loyola's secretary, Polanco, was of Jewish descent and was the only person present at

���� Loyola's deathbed. James Lainez, who succeeded Loyola as the second Jesuit General, was also of

���� Jewish descent. Jews were attracted to the Jesuit order and joined in large numbers.�� Lacunza was

���� no exception. He was a Jew, which explains why he introduced the eschatological teaching of a

���� return to the Jewish animal sacrifices during the Millennium.�� (In a book titled The Coming of the

���� Messiah in Glory and Majesty published in 1812, 11 years after the death of its author, Jesuit

���� Emanuel de Lacunza who, wrote under the fictitious pen name of a purportedly converted Jew,

���� Rabbi Juan Josaphat Ben Ezra, in order to conceal his identity and to make his writings more

���� palatable to the Protestant readers. He promoted the writings of sixteenth century Jesuit priest

���� Francisco Ribera, developing a futuristic perspective which restricted the prophetic fulfillments in the

���� book of Revelation to the end of the world).�� Lacunza also wrote that during a millennium after the

���� tribulation the Jewish animal sacrifices would be reinstated along with the Eucharist (the mass) of

���� the Catholic Church. Lacunza has followed after Jewish fables and replaced the commandments of

���� God with the commandments of men. That doctrine gives the Jews primacy in God's plan and

���� relegates Christians to a prophetic parenthetical to be supplanted by the Jews during the

���� thousand year earthly reign of Christ.
