This exactly describes the United States arriving on the world scene as a world power to reckon with in the early 1800's. It began as a democratic Christian nation, and rose to power on the world scene immediately following the apparent demise of Roman Catholic Church in 1798. So using false miracles as proof of it's authority, the apostate Protestant church in the United States will take control of the government and pass religious legislation to enforce it's agenda, and it will promote false Catholic doctrines. When you are dead, you are not dead. Here you are free to listen to the prayers of the living and forward these petitions for grace to Mary or Jesus.
Death includes the loss of any consciousness of the mind.
Those who are dead hear nothing and can do nothing, for themselves or anyone else. Salvation is obtained through ministers or priests of the church. They have a bank account with Jesus and can dispense grace or forgiveness to those they favor. Conversely, they can cut off your source of forgiveness if you do not accept their unscriptural traditions. No church can dispense or withhold forgiveness, forgiveness is yours from God through faith.
