From Israel to Italy is a blog written by Pastor Rob Krause and Brother Roberto Battistuzzi. Both of us have lived in Italy for a decade and have worked together in the Revealed Faith delivered once for all. Jude 3

We’re writing from the vantage point of looking over the fence of Rome’s backyard. We believe that many true, biblical saints don’t understand that Rome is a culture; an empire if you will. And, to understand what 1 billion adherents are following, people need to see how that culture works and what it demands from almost 20% of the world’s population under the name of Christianity.

We are stating these critical points:

Rome is always in control. It seeks & craves control. As accomodating as it tries to present itself, Rome always wants to be Mother.

The Jesus that Rome presents is not the historical Jesus of Nazareth. This is why we emphasize that Jesus is from Jerusalem; not Rome. Therefore, our main objective is to reveal truths about Jesus Christ of Israel through exposing the “other Christ” of Rome. While using the lingo, Rome has re-written the definitions to build its own empire.

We are Separatists at heart. We do not believe the Roman Empire can be reformed like many of the great Reformers believed early-on (mid 1500’s). Italy desparately needs a first Reformation. It never had one. In fact, to change Italy would impact the entire world. However, for a Reformation to occur - that would mean that Rome would have to be re-formed. No, what Rome needs is an overhaul; an awakening. The dead must bury the dead so that the Living Lord can be revealed and many can turn to Him.
