Pope Francis and the One-World Religion

Pope Francis and the One-World Religion - Todd Strandberg - http://raptureready.com/rap16.html

 

The Roman Catholic Church has led the global Ecumenical Movement since soon after its inception. By heading the largest religious organization on the planet (which consists of 1.27 billion people), the Pope has a huge advantage in winning a contest for the leader of all religions.

 

Protestant denominations have more than 900 million adherents, but they are fractured into thousands of organizations. The Southern Baptist Convention is the world's largest Baptist denomination and the largest Protestant body in the United States. But it only has 15 million members.

 

Pope John Paul II did much to bring unity to world religions. But his efforts were limited because he believed that Catholicism is superior to other faiths. John Paul II's successor, Pope Benedict XVI was a set back the Ecumenical Movement. He started off by correctly condemning Islam for its evil traits. Benedict said in one speech:

 

"Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." Pope Benedict later apologized for any offense he had caused and made a point of visiting Turkey and praying in its Blue Mosque.

 

The surprise resignation of Pope Benedict resulted in the rise of Pope Francis. With this new pope, the ecumenical bandwagon was back on track. Pope Francis has reached out to the heads of nearly every major religion.

 

Just this year alone, he has met with the Patriarch Kirill of Russia for the first time since the 1054 East-West schism. He met with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, the Archbishop of Constantinople. Also in May, Francis met with Sheikh Ahmad el-Tayeb, the grand imam of Cairo's Al-Azhar Mosque, who is considered the head of Sunni Islam.

 

Pope Francis has been able to become chummy with all these other religions because he has capitulated to the spirit of the age. He is the one who said "Who am I to judge?" when asked about his view on homosexuality.

 

Pope Francis has also said "Even the atheists" can go to heaven. It is a total compromise for a Christian leader to go into a mosque and offer prayers to the god of Islam.

 

The pontiff has been so active in fitting the role of the False Prophet, rumors have been making the rounds in the conspiracy theory blogosphere. One source claims Pope Francis will soon make a UFO and alien disclosure that will end with a call for a global religion. Another site says that next month, "POPE FRANCIS to PROCLAIM LUCIFER as God of One World Religion" at an ecumenical gathering of the world's three monotheist faiths that will take place September 4-23, 2016, in Jerusalem.

 

I think the strongest indication that we are in the home stretch of the creation of the one-world religion is the Pope's reaction to all the terror acts in Europe. When the 86-year-old Father Jacques Hamel had his throat slit at a church altar by Muslim attackers, Pope Francis said this on a trip to Poland: "When I speak of war I speak of wars over interests, money, resources, not religion. All religions want peace, it's the others who want war.

 

In any other time period, all these atrocities carried out in the name of Allah would cause people to hit the pause button. Pope Francis sees dialogue as the solution to Islamic terror. It seems the more blood that is shed, the more eager he is to embrace the enemy.

 

I recently watched a documentary about Madame Helena Petrova Blavatsky. She was a Russian occultist who is widely seen as the grandmother of the New Age movement. Blavatsky taught that most faiths of mankind are derived from a universal religion.

 

She said that Islam, Catholicism, and the Eastern religions had redeemable values, but she thought that Protestant Christian faiths were too corrupted to be of any good. This is no surprise coming from someone who received much of her doctrinal views from a demon guide. We can consider this quite a compliment when we consider the source.

 

It is possible that Pope Francis could be the False Prophet who will cause the world to worship the Antichrist. If the Tribulation is near, he will likely get the job. Since Putin has decided to be the perpetual leader of Russia, death is the only thing that would prevent him from being the head of the Ezekiel 38 and 39 invasion.

 

It is well enough to see warning signs in nature as an indication of the Rapture's close proximity. When you see actors who will be part of the Tribulation starting to assemble just off stage, you really know time is short.

 

"And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh" (Luke 21:28).
