14    The Bible and the Future of the World 
since Christ, i.e. the Millennium. The Church experiences a time of 
adversity after the holy years of the Millennium, but is suddenly saved from 
danger by Jesus (Rev 20:9). 
    This account, like many others in the Holy Scriptures, was a real event 
which foreshadows future events. Peter did walk on water at Jesus' 
command and then began to sink when he doubted. This interaction 
between Jesus and Peter foreshadows  some future event, where Peter 
represents the Pope, but I cannot tell what that event will be. 
Beware of Pharisees and Sadducees (Mt 16:1 12) 
     Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of 
bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.  (Mt 16:12). 
    In every age, faithful Christians must beware of religious leaders and 
religious teachers who have gone astray from the teaching of Jesus Christ. 
All faithful disciples should know that there are some false disciples who 
have obtained roles of authority and leadership in the Church. These are like 
the Pharisees and Sadducees. True disciples of Jesus believe the teachings of 
Jesus' Church. True disciples worship God in their hearts. 
    Whoever fights against the teaching of the Church fights against the 
teaching of Jesus. Whoever opposes the Church's authority, opposes Jesus' 
authority. For a Catholic, true faith can be summed up in one belief: 
 I believe that the teaching of the Holy Catholic Church 
is God's teaching, without exception.  
    Even today there are some priests, some religious, many theologians, and 
even a few bishops, who speak out against the Church's teachings. They 
choose their words to please their listeners. Notice that these false teachers 
say what their listeners wish to hear, but it was not that way with Jesus. 
     Many of his disciples, when they heard it, said, `This is a hard saying; 
who can listen to it?' But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples 
murmured at it, said to them, `Do you take offense at this? Then what if you 
were to see the Son of man ascending where he was before?'    
(John 6:60 61). 
     After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer went about with 
him.  (John 6:66). 
    Jesus' teaching includes the Way of  the Cross. Some disciples reject the 
Cross. The teaching of false disciples usually lacks the Cross. They 
discourage Christians from carrying their crosses.  Prior to and during the 
time of the Antichrist (666), the Church will reaffirm its teaching and some 
will take offense and draw back.
