In his ongoing effort to unify the denominations of the Christian faith as well as other religions, Pope Francis hosted a series of interfaith gatherings at the Vatican that saw Muslim prayers given from the pulpit for the first time in its history. The Pope’s efforts while seemingly noble, are in complete contradiction to Bible Scripture. But as Biblical Christianity is being abandoned in the contemporary church, public displays of “spiritual unity” will become more common. It is all prophesied in Scripture as the world moves closer to the coming one world religion of the Antichrist.
A Week of Interfaith Gathering
Pope Francis was the host of two special interfaith gatherings at the Vatican in one week. According to reports:
Pope Francis waded into Middle East peace-making this evening by welcoming both the Israeli and Palestinian presidents to the Vatican for an evening of prayers.
Israeli President Shimon Peres was the first to arrive at the Vatican hotel where Pope Francis lives, followed by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Francis warmly greeted both and met privately with each one before heading out to the Vatican garden for the service.It took place in the Vatican gardens in the shadow of St. Peter’s Basilica, the most religiously neutral place in the tiny city-state. It incorporated Jewish, Christian and Muslim prayers – delivered in Hebrew, English, Arabic and Italian.
The prayers focused on three themes common to each of the religions: thanking God for creation, seeking forgiveness for past wrongdoing and praying to God to bring peace to the region.
Francis, Peres and Abbas were expected to deliver brief remarks, shake hands and plant an olive tree together in a sign of peace. The spiritual leader of the world’s Orthodox Christians was also present to give a united Christian front. (source).
While the desire for peace in the Middle East is a noble cause, no Bible believing Christian should ever confuse political goals with the spiritual commands of God. While Christians can socialize, work with and conduct political negotiations with people of all faiths, religious activity is to be exclusively done in a Biblical manner. From the first commandment God gave to Moses, The Lord’s stance on joining in the worship of any of other god is clear:
And God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; – Exodus 20:1-5.
Throughout the Old Testament, the Israelites, God’s chosen people to bring His Word and His law to the world, repeatedly fell into the sinful trap of mingling their faith with other religions. And each time, God warned them of the punishments to come for idolatry. The New Testament reiterated the need for separation spiritually from any other belief that it is not Christianity:
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. – 2 Corinthians 6:13-17.
Christians are not be “yoked” or joined spiritually with unbelievers. Again, this is not a reference to merely being around non-Christians. It is referring to joining in a manner that is spiritual. Allah, the god of Islam, is an idol. And for the Pope to hold a joint prayer service, is a direct fulfillment of being “unequally yoked.” In addition to many other unbiblical practices, the Vatican’s official position on Islam is that Christians and Muslims worship the game god:
The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all- powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth, who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in linking itself, submitted to God. Though they do not acknowledge Jesus as God, they revere Him as a prophet. They also honor Mary, His virgin Mother; at times they even call on her with devotion. In addition, they await the day of judgment when God will render their deserts to all those who have been raised up from the dead. Finally, they value the moral life and worship God especially through prayer, almsgiving and fasting. – DECLARATION ON THE RELATION OF THE CHURCH TO NON-CHRISTIAN RELIGIONS. NOSTRA AETATE (source).
The Koran all on its own distinguishes itself from Christianity as it proclaims that Allah has no son:
It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. (Surah 19:35).
Further, that He may warn those (also) who say, “Allah hath begotten a son”:[5] No knowledge have they of such a thing, nor had their fathers. It is a grievous thing that issues from their mouths as a saying: What they say is nothing but falsehood! (Surah 18:4-5).
It denies the crucifixion:
That they rejected Faith; That they uttered against Mary a grave false charge; That they said (in boast): We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, The Messenger of Allah. But they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjunction to follow, for of a surety they killed him not. … And on the Day of Judgment He (Jesus) will be a witness against them (Christians).”(Surah 004:156-159)
Jesus Christ proclaimed His Sonship and equality with God the Father in no uncertain terms when He proclaimed: “I and my Father are one.” (John 10:30). The crucifixion, in which Christ gave His life and took the penalty for all of the sins of the world, so that fallen humanity would have a chance for forgiveness, is the fulfillment of God’s plan for salvation of the world. It is the critical atoning work and the only means by which a person can go to Heaven. To deny the crucifixion is to deny everything about the Bible. And yet this is what the Koran does.
So there is no question that the god of Islam is not the same as Yahweh, the God of the Bible. And certainly the Jesus of Islam is not remotely the same as the true Jesus Christ of Christianity. Yet none of this has stopped Pope Francis and the Vatican from not only embracing Muslim prayer, but fully endorsing their religion. Their position is clearly contrary to the Scripture and pure idolatry. Yet the media and many Catholics and Protestants are celebrating the interfaith prayer session and Pope Francis’ leadership. All in the name of “peace.”
Joel Osteen And Other Apostate Pastors Join The Push For “Unity”
Prosperity Gospel Pastor Joel Osteen of Lakewood Church, the largest church in America, also visited the Vatican for an inter-denominational meeting with the Pope.
Joel Osteen, bestselling motivational author and evangelical pastor of America’s fastest-growing megachurch, was among a small group that included Mormon Sen. Mike Lee, to meet privately with Pope Francis at the Vatican in Rome, this week.
Osteen said he was honored to meet with Pope Francis, who leads the world’s 1.2 billion Roman Catholics.
“I like the fact that this pope is trying to make the church larger, not smaller. He’s not pushing people out but making the church more inclusive. That resonated with me,” Osteen told the Houston Chronicle…..Francis had invited more than a dozen “North American Protestant leaders” to discuss the question: “Can we find common ground in order to advance the life and ministry of Jesus so more people can experience the joy of Christian faith?”
The ecumenical meeting was a part of Pope Francis’ on-going efforts to bring unity among Christians, previously stating in public remarks, “Divisions among us, but also divisions among the communities: evangelical Christians, orthodox Christians, Catholic Christians, but why divided? We must try to bring about unity.” (source).
Here is a video in which Osteen gushes over the Pope:
Beginning and End has already detailed the many false teachings of Osteen. In addition to the Prosperity Gospel – a false teaching based on acquiring material wealth, health and success, Osteen has also taught many New Age false doctrines. And seeing the most popular pastor in America endorse a Pope who is holding interfaith gatherings and endorsing a Muslim god, is a clear sign of the apostasy – the prophesied falling away in the church from Biblical Christianity to a watered-down, compromised, false Christianity that will help set the stage for the Antichrist.
Prophesied One World Order
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. – 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3.
As the end times – the final years before the Second Coming of Christ – approach, the Bible warns of a time when society will proclaim “peace and safety!” The long-held desire of global peace will seemingly be achieved. But this will be a false peace. And it is at this time that God’s wrath will be unleashed upon a rebellious world that will be unified in one man – the Antichrist. The Antichrist is the satanically-empowered false messiah who will rule the governments of the Earth for 3 1/2 years before the Second Coming of Christ. And during this time, the world will be living in the New World Order. The Antichrist will head a global government, control the economy of the world through the one world currency Mark of the Beast system and be the god of a one world religion. The book of Revelation details this end times false religion:
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy….. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. – Revelation 13:1-6.
The Antichrist will proclaim that he is god. And he will blaspheme the true God of the Bible and all Christian believers. By performing miracles, supernatural feats and even overcoming death, the world will worship this man of sin as god. And the Antichrist will have his religious cohort, the False Prophet, who will work to deceive the world into thinking that Satan’s man servant is actually the Messiah:
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. – Revelation 13:11-15.
The False prophet, who will also have supernatural abilities, appeared in John’s vision as “having horns like a lamb.” This spiritual leader will appear harmless, promoting peace, love and harmony. But he will direct the people of the world to worship the Antichrist. The False Prophet will then lead the world in erecting “the image of the beast” – some type of statue or figure that has “life” (either by occult power or artificial intelligence), for the world to worship. And this worship will be done under penalty of death.
How could all of the religions of the world, some who have been opposed for centuries, one day unify all over the globe? An easy path is by teaching that the gods of all the various faiths are the same – the precise message Pope Francis and the Vatican are preaching. The Antichrist could be presented as the fulfillment of all the Messianic prophecies of various religions. Share International, a New Age organization and branch of the United Nations is led by Benjamin Creme. Creme a disciple of Luciferian philosopher Madame H.P. Blavatsky, has long promoted the coming of the Maitreya, a messianic figure who will fulfill just such a role. Here is a commercial that Share International ran several years ago on CNN.
The New Age movement is promoting and waiting for the exact figure the Bible is describing. Except instead of being a savior who will bring peace, he is a deceiver who will bring damnation. Do not be deceived.
Take A Stand for Biblical Christianity
If you are a Bible believing Christian, pray for Pope Francis and the other pastors involved in this ecumenical movement, to repent and believe in the Bible. As long as leaders in the church continue to put their own doctrines or feelings on par or above Scripture, the church will continue to fall into spiritual error and rebellion against God. Many Christians are already falling into spiritual compromise all in the name of seeking “world peace” or “harmony” with others. But that is not the message of the Bible. True unity can only come in accordance with God’s Word. And this current push for unity is far from that.
The Bible is clear that peace will not come from this sinful, fallen world. It only comes through Jesus Christ. And a Christianity that embraces other gods, ignores sound doctrine in favor of man-made rules and ideas and seeks worldly goals over preaching the Gospel of forgiveness of sin – is not a real Christianity at all. This is why so many churches are falling out of line with the Bible. And this should motivate Bible believing Christians to take that much stronger of a stance for the Gospel and to follow God and not men.
Wow! This is getting crazy B&E. Again though, its like I said before. Its actually cool to see what Jesus told us coming to fruition and to be a part of it. Its a good reminder that were on the right track. When you read Revelation 17, it talks about the whore with seven heads. The whore is a city, and the seven heads are seven mountains. The Vatican today, is still known as the city on seven hills! When you read Revelation 17:4. the only city I can think of that has that much riches ,is the Vatican.Great article brother, keep it up. God bless.
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
Revelation 17:4 (KJV)
Thank you so much for this enlightening article, B&E! Satan is so deceptive and subtle. The truth is there does need to be unity within the Body of Christ. The Body is divided into so many denominations that it’s ridiculous. There is so much confusion about which doctrines are right and which are wrong. God is not the author of confusion as Scripture states so we know this confusion and division is of Satan, but Satan being so deceitful he offers his own solution for a problem he himself caused: a false unity brought by compromising the truth. True unity within the Body of Christ will only come through diligently seeking God in prayer, true humility, and by leaving Babylon and being a separate, peculiar, holy people.
If the new one world religion is a mixture of Christianity and Islam, I can’t see it being very successful as the NWO would have a hard time convincing people to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Messiah.
1 John 4:3 – And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
A Muslim is disqualified as a Muslims if he/she does not believe that Jesus is the Messiah, one of the greatest prophets of God and the one to return to vanquish the false messiah. It’s a prerequisite. Now, some Christians will tell you that the Messiah of the Muslims is a different Jesus. I ask you, what other Jesus of Nazareth, Son of Mary, Christ the Messiah could we be talking about? We believe in his miraculous birth of a virgin. No contention. Where we differ is that while Christians believe he is the “only begotten son of God”, we believe the son of Man is the “son of God” in the sense that Adam is the son of God, a special creation apart from other men, yet we are all the children of God. We believe deeply in the message of Jesus and any who would reject cannot truly be Muslim (in submission to the will of God).
4:171 O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, “Three”; desist – it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.
5:72 They have certainly disbelieved who say, ” Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary” while the Messiah has said, “O Children of Israel, worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord.”
Mark 12:28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? 29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment. 31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
And for clarification, the word “Allah” is the word used by Arabic speaking Christians and Jews for “God”. Would you tell them that they are incorrect in their beliefs/worshiping a moon god? As a matter of fact, when you say Hallelujah You are praising Gods name in Hebrew.
2:136 Say, [O believers], “We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him.”
Christians are our cousins in faith according to the Quran. We believe that Christ prophesied the coming of Muhammad in John 16:7-14
According to one of the greatest pillars in the Luciferian freemasonic new age religion, Albert Pike, who has a statue erected in Washington DC, the new world order’s 3rd world war would be against the Muslim world. Look it up. According to our prophet, this war and the coming age will be lead by the Dajjal(Anti-Christ). Here is what he had to say about him.
(al-Masīḥ ad-Dajjāl, Arabic for “the false messiah”)
Narrated Ibn Umar: Once Allah’s Apostle stood amongst the people, glorified and praised Allah as He deserved. Then, mentioning Dajjal, he said, “I warn you against him (i.e. the Dajjal) and there was no prophet but warned his nation against him. No doubt, Noah warned his nation against him but I tell you about him something of which no prophet told his nation before me. You should know that the Dajjal is one-eyed, and Allah is not one-eyed.”
And for the record these extremists represent Islam about as well as the Westboro baptists church or a priest who would abuse a child represent Christianity. Please do not judge islam as a whole by the actions of a few.
Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged, and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you again.3 And why seest thou the mote, that is in thy brother’s eye, and perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?4 Or how sayest thou to thy brother, Suffer me to cast out the mote out of thine eye, and behold, a beam is in thine own eye?5 Hypocrite, first cast out that beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
Matthew 7:21 Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth my Father’s will which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not by thy Name prophesied, and by thy name cast out devils? and by thy name done many great works? 23 And then will I profess to them, I never knew you, depart from me ye that work iniquity.
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Salam.
Hi Ashley,
You said,

I think you misunderstand what B&E is trying to say. The NWO will in no way shape or form worship Jesus Christ. He is merely stating, that combining the world religions, will in fact take away worship from Jesus Christ. In my personal opinion, the Vatican is indeed the whore with seven heads spoken of in Revelation 17:4. With that being said, to see the Roman Catholic faith trying to combine itself with the faith of Islam, only proves that notion. Again in my opinion, the Catholic faith does not follow the commandments of Jesus. Revelation 17:4 states that the whore is “full of abominations and filthiness of her fornification”. If im right, and the whore is the Vatican, then they definetley don’t follow Jesus Christ, and in fact are already worshiping the antichrist. Remember, when the antichrist comes, the false prophet will get the world to worship the antichrist as god (Revelation 13:1-8). In my personal opinion, and I think most will agree, the false prophet is a religious figure, and I believe the Pope is indeed this religious figure. So to say that they are going to try and get the world to worship Jesus Christ, is absolutely ludacris. They will converge, and try to make the world worship the antichrist. Again, this based off of my interpretations of passages from revelation
Hi Ashley,
You said,
Christians are our cousins in faith according to the Quran. We believe that Christ prophesied the coming of Muhammad in John 16:7-14.
So I’m curious and a little confused. Are you a Muslim? And if so, how do you believe that Christ prophesied the coming of Muhammad in these verses?
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Of sin, because they believe not on me;
Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
John 16:7-14 (KJV)
Jesus is clearly speaking of the Holy Spirit, not Muhammad. The last verse says it all, “he shall glorify me”, Muhammad does not glorify Jesus Christ. The “comforter” is indeed the Holy Ghost.
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 14:26 (KJV)
The ultimate test of any religion is its view of Jesus. Muslims may tell you that they believe in Jesus, but a closer look at their holy book, the Qur’an (Koran), shows us what they really believe about our Lord and Saviour.
The Bible tells us Jesus is the Word: “the Word was God” (John 1:1). But the Qur’an says He is only “a word” (Sura 3:45). The Bible says Jesus is the Creator (John 1:3; Ephesians 3:9; Colossians 1:13-16). But the Qur’an describes him as one of the created (Sura 3:59).
The Bible says the Lord Jesus is superior to the prophets (Hebrews 1:1-2). The Qur’an tells us He is just another prophet. “We make no distinction between any of them,” (Sura 3:84).
The Lord Jesus was crucified and shed His precious blood to wipe away our sins (Revelation 1:5). The Qur’an tells us that Jesus was not crucified at all.
“And because of their saying: ‘We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah’s messenger’ they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them.” (Sura 4:157)
The Bible tells us that Jesus is God’s Son (Matthew 16:16-17; Mark 1:1; John 9:35-37; 20:31; Acts 3:26; 1 Corinthians 1:9; 2 Corinthians 1:19; Hebrews 4:14; 1 John 4:15; 5:5, 20; 2 John 1:3). The Qur’an tells us Jesus is not the son of Allah! (Sura 2:115; 4:171; 10:68-69; 18:4-5; 19:35, 88-93; 21:26; 39:4; 43:81)
“Praise be to Allah, Who hath not taken unto Himself a Son” (Sura 17:111)
And they are right. The god they worship has no son! Allah is not God. And Jesus is the Son of God, not of Allah.
But Mohammed made a great mistake. He said Jesus is a prophet. Muslims know that prophets do not tell lies. And it never says in the Qur’an that Jesus ever lied. If Jesus told the truth, then we must listen to what He says. So what did He say?
Jesus said that He is the Son of God (John 9:35-38; 10:32-36). Jesus also told us exactly how to come to God: John 14:6
And even His apostles understood what He said: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
The Qur’an is correct: the Lord Jesus Christ isn’t the son of Allah! He is the trustworthy Son of God. He never tells lies. And he promised us salvation if we put our faith in Him alone (John 3:16). We now know Mohammed didn’t think much of Jesus. But we also know God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, doesn’t think much of Mohammed, either.
Religions under the UN. “United Religions Initiative” and Catholics “Ecumenism” are not being united in order to have One Religions, but its a scheme towards destruction. Leaders at the top of most Religions, Catholic, Islam, Buddhism, Protestantism etc have been looped in the New World initiative. But the same crooks are instigating conflict between the same Religions at the grassroots. Thats why you find for example while the pope and Evangelicals and Islamic leaders are meeting to thrash out their differences, Boko Haram Islamist are fighting Christians, and Moslem are fighting Buddhists in Burma.
The agenda is to create en environment of despair eventually, when people forced to fight each other, become dispirited, with their religion, and hence with gods, so that Absolute Atheism may be introduced, which will be basically to make men assume the nature of Beasts. That is the Spirit of the Beast prophesied. Its not a beast as such, but men reduced to retards.
What do Muslims, Joel Osteen, Pope Francis have in common? They all have a work’s righteous religion where their faith rests in themselves instead of in the work of Christ for sinners. They are all “antiChrists”: meaning false teachers who teach contrary to Christ’s Word are opponents of Christ” and, insofar as they do so.
So there is NOTHING we can do.
If this is the Lord’s word then these things must come to pass for the Lord’s reign.
I am prepared to die. I am not drinking from a 1religion cup. I am not bowing, I am not putting a chip in me so death is the end all for me I suppose?
Hi Lockstress,
I don’t think B&E wrote this article to try and change what’s going to happen. Your right, the Lord said they would happen, so they must come to fruition. However, the point of the article is to point out what Jesus told us, and that’s its happening now. We are living in the last of the last days. The only thing B&E wants to change is the salvation of those who don’t believe, any Christian would want that, its our job to preach the gospel! He’s just pointing out that this world is dramatically becoming what it was in the days of Noah, just as Jesus told us it would (Matthew 24:37, Luke 17:26). And the only way to escape this world and the wickedness to come is through faith and belief in Christ Jesus our Lord and savior (John 3:16). You also said, the end all for you is death. If you believe in Christ, that is not the case at all.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Matthew 16:25 (KJV)
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
Luke 17:33(KJV)
I feel for those who truly believe they are serving the True and Living God, but in fact are following behind demons, displaying themselves as god or gods. Please people do not be deceived. Jesus Christ is God.
yay yay and AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Power and glory be to the God and Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; the God and Father of Abraham, Isaac and Israel; the holy Father who is in Heaven, whose name alone is Jehovah, the great I Am.
Concerning the “maitreya”: I will preface this by saying that I am a Black American. Knowing that bit of information is important to the comment that I am going to make. When I was a little kid, growing up, of course momma took us to church every Sunday and did her best to make sure we (me and my siblings) have some kind of relationship with God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. Over the years, I’ve been a member of several (Black) Christian churches. One thing I found to be a common theme in ALL of those churches was that there was always a “portrait” (if you will) of Jesus Christ hanging somewhere in the church. Most of the time, that so-called “portrait” of Jesus Christ was hanging over the pulpit/altar from which the pastor preached. Of course, being young and un-schooled then, I never gave one thought to the portrait except to mumble (innocently and naively) to myself, once or twice, that Jesus Christ was certainly a good looking ‘blonde haired, blue-eyed man.’ And it didn’t bother me that when the church members prayed during church service, they actually directed their prayers to the “Jesus” portrait hanging on the wall.
It wasn’t until many, many, many years later, when I began reading the holy Bible for myself, that wisdom dawned on me … that the “Jesus” in the portrait that the people in church were praying to is not even the Lord Jesus Christ AT ALL, but instead, is the romance-inspired figment of someone else’s imagination. God the Father commands us, in the Ten Commandments, that we should not make unto ourselves a graven image of anything that is in Heaven above, and I believe this commandment includes attempting to make images of God Himself, and His Son Jesus Christ, for we have no idea what either looks like physically. The holy Bible offers absolutely no physical description of God the Father, except Him saying in His own words that He is spirit, and therefore, He commands us to worship Him in spirit only. Furthermore, the holy Bible offers only a vague description of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the book of Revelation, when the Lord descended from Heaven to give St. John the Divine the Revelation (Chapter 1 vs 14-15): “His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were as a flame of fire; and His feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and His voice as the sound of many waters.” I believe these vague descriptions from the Word of God were given for a reason which goes back to the commandment that we make no graven images of anything that is in Heaven above …
This is where the “maitreya” comes in. Of course, to some, ‘white, woolly hair, and flaming eyes, and brass feet’ is quite an image. Maybe even a scary one, but nonetheless, this is the description of the Lord Jesus Christ that the Bible offers, and without a doubt, I believe in and trust in the holy Bible. But Lucifer wants mankind to be deceived, so I did some research on the ‘blonde haired, blue-eyed Jesus’ that hundreds of millions of CHRISTIAN people have been worshipping for centuries, and discovered that the ‘blonde haired, blue-eyed Jesus’ actually came out of Germany and is referred to as “maitreya”, or loosely interpreted, “anti-Christ”. Apparently, Germans have believed that this blonde haired, blue-eyed maitreya is their god, and they have worshipped it as their savior, as the provider of all their blessings (I’m paraphrasing all of my research, to keep a long story short). So, armed with my research, I went to the pastor of the last church I was a member of and asked him: Why do Christians (and specifically, Black Christians) worship this blonde haired, blue-eyed image as the Lord Jesus Christ, when the holy Bible itself does not describe the Lord Jesus as having blonde hair, blue eyes? And also, pastor, do you know the history of that particular image and the name by which it is referred to (maitreya, anti-Christ)? I told the pastor, as respectfully and as delicately as I could, that it wouldn’t be right, ethically, morally and spiritually, to continue having the congregation bowing to an anti-Christ image, and I asked him if he could do a sermon on the subject so that the congregation won’t be deceived anymore. The pastor was not pleased with me at all (he felt I was questioning his authority), and days later, he and the church elders forwarded me a letter to let me know I was no longer welcomed to be a member of the congregation. I should’ve been upset about it, but I really wasn’t. I was actually relieved to be thrown out of church.
Saying all of that just to say ‘Thank you, B&E’ for speaking your wisdom on the subject of the ‘maitreya’ in this report. People won’t know unless you tell them. Peace and blessings be upon you from God the Father, in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
May Lord bless you for your comment. We so often fell in a trap of standards set by the society that one day when we wake up we realise what we know and see is not really the truth we believed in for so long. The Lord Jesus Christ says “You will know the truth and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). It took me 50 years to find the truth and I am pretty sure there are many people who will never find the truth.
Thank you for your comment. I love it and wish you the wisdom and the strength in Jesus name. Amen
This is NO mystery. The antiChrist is a DEAD man named Bahá’u’lláh [www.bahaullah.org]. He shall apparently be raised from the dead just before the Pope dies. He claimed to be the God and Father of our Lord and the UN supports his religion called the Bahá’í Faith [www.bahai.org]. This is the NWO religion. Do NOT be confused any longer.
It is awesome to see things heating up and soon we true believers in our Lord Jesus Christ will be out of here even if we have to endure some bodily pain or death! To me it is a welcomed day and from that day on we will not have to wrestle with sin or satan!
The Tares in the Wheat Field run this world and hate us Christians! We may have to endure some rough times; however, the Tares (Reptilian Shapeshifters (you can see them on YouTube)) will face GOD and be struck down to HELL! Amen!
The Pope is a Dope (Tare) and has no Hope!
I feel bad that so many people who claim to trust in GOD have not the full assurance of going to Heaven! The message is simple: Trust and believe with all your heart that Jesus died for you and your sins and you are GUARANTEED to go to Heaven!
If you think your good works without Faith On Jesus Christ will get you into Heaven, then guess again! GOD says you are not worthy of getting yourself into Heaven by your works because you will fail everyday! Therefore GOD’s perfect GIFT of Salvation comes through HIS Son Jesus Christ.
John 14:6King James Version (KJV)
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
If you want to know GOD more in depth then read HIS Word from the King James Version of the Bible! All other version have been changed by the devil to deceive you!
Amen Chad!
Well done Chad and Blessings brother
Update: Here’s a recent news article on this subject:

Pope Francis And Shimon Peres Discuss The Establishment Of A ‘United Nations Of Religions’
Last Thursday, Pope Francis and former Israeli President Shimon Peres met for an extended 45 minute private conversation
It is very unusual for a Pope to meet with any world leader three times in just over four months. But it is this latest meeting between Pope Francis and Shimon Peres that was the most noteworthy by far. The following is how Fox Newsreported on it…
Retired Israeli President Shimon Peres has proposed a new global peace initiative to Pope Francis: A “United Nations of Religions,” given that most wars today have religious, not nationalistic, undercurrents.
The Vatican said Peres pitched the initiative during a 45-minute audience Thursday in the Apostolic Palace. The two men last met when Francis invited the then-Israeli president and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas to pray for peace together in the Vatican gardens on June 8.
…Megachurch speaker and author Joel Osteen was among a group of political and religious leaders who met with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Thursday. …
…”Pope Francis says that there is not any room for “fundamentalism” in Christianity…
Following his first visit to the Middle East as pope last month, the pontiff criticized fundamentalism in Christianity, Islam and Judaism as a form of violence.
“A fundamentalist group, even if it kills no one, even it strikes no one, is violent. The mental structure of fundamentalism is violence in the name of God.”
Just to add more facts about this NWO check on this article :
A ‘gay-friendly’ mosque just opened in South Africa
http://news360.com/article/258180698
“While this message seems attractive, God calls on Christians to be separate.” *referring to the “coexist” logo*
I think it’s a bit of a stretch to say that God calls on Christians to be separate. For one, God (or Jesus for that matter) never called for there to be any privatized/institutionalized Christian church, let alone a hierarchy that works mostly in secret. Second, God disapproves of evil worship that involves sacrifices of children and idolatry and conquest by crusade. To say that God calls Christians to be separate is putting words in God’s mouth that He never said. God DOES want us to unify, but not the way the Vatican is trying to do it. What they are doing is creating a “second skin” on top of what we should be doing. They are imitating what should be done, and on the surface it looks really good. In order for us to find the true answers, we need to redefine what being a Christian really means. Calling on separation isn’t the way to go about it. But yes, the Catholic church and other so-called Christian denominations are imposter religions that pretend to support what they oppose, and oppose what they pretend to support. Ecumenism is an illusion of community and coming together. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t come together. God DOES love people of other faiths. It’s the Satanists in sheep’s clothing that he opposes. Calling peasant Hindus or Native Americans, for example, heathens or “pagans” is disingenuous. God loves the righteous regardless of what what religion they follow. It’s a very complex subject that won’t be fully explained till the Day of Judgement. For now, suffice to say that the ecumenical types are only pretending. What they are really doing is unifying wolves in sheep’s clothing of their own professed religion with the wolves in sheep’s clothing of other professed religions. Behind closed doors they are the synogogue of satan. What WE need to do is foreclose on these institutions and follow the righteous aspects of scripture. Jesus was likely opposed to organized religion because of the messes we find ourselves in today. Again, we need to follow the message of God, not the dogma of those who fake alliance with Him. In secret they prepare for war against God. “Ecumenism” is a part of that preparation. But we still need to unify as a community of peasant-folk. Calling for separation is unacceptable. And putting false teachings in God’s mouth is worse. We need to come together as the righteous of the earth, for the Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand.
There is ONE thing and ONE thing only that will lead you to heaven and that is “JESUS”. Jesus states clearly” I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
That is very clear so if any other person does not believe in that then the bible states clearly “You’re Out” so to speak. It is the ONLY way to heaven. Not believing that or denying that seals your fate so to speak.
It is what it is plain and simple. There is no if ands or buts about it.
It also states clearly the we shall stay “unyoked” from other non-believers meaning do not mix their beliefs with ours.
Blessings
B and E
I find your articles quite enlightening. As one of the bloggers has commented I want to believe that this is intended to help people understand what is happening in the light of the Scripture.
But wherein is salvation? The Lord Jesus Christ said in John 8:24, “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sins.” Who is Jesus Christ? Do the many nominal christians in this world really know Him? The answer is obviously no.
Jesus said, in John 10:27-30
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
My Father, which gave them me is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one.”
In whose hand are the believers?
In the light of John 14:1-11 it is noteworthy about what Jesus says about Himself. I believe that Jesus Christ as the Son of God is not known by the majority of those who claim to know Him. They will be disappointed in the judgement when He confess that “…I never knew you…”
So wake up brethren. Time is gone. The Antichrist, that man of sin is being exposed by his own actions. Light and darkness cannot mix. Christ and belial have no fellowship.
I request all true believers in Christ to pray pray pray so that God gives us the spiritual power to withstand anything that is to come against us even if it means death for us but for the sake of glorifying our one and only Saviour,Jesus Christ who died for our sins so that we may live.we cannot compromise our faith with any religion since Jesus has made it very clear that He is the only way the truth and life to get to Heaven.the end is near.the way for the anti Christ has been paved.the day of testing our faith is not far away from us.Amen.
There is ONE thing and ONE thing only that will lead you to heaven and that is “JESUS”. Jesus states clearly” I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

The Great Impostor in the wilderness
Revelation 17:3 ” So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.” After studying 8 or 9 commentaries I found they all tended to make a metaphor of the word “wilderness”. And, that is understandable since there are a lot of them in that book. But I see it this way: John the Baptist did most of his ministry in the wilderness, Jesus went out to him and as he approached John, John said “behold the lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world”. John fulfilled Isaiah 40:3 introducing Jesus to the world.
The false prophet introduces the great impostor: Now, the “woman”, a world religion, that sits upon the scarlet colored beast, a world government, will be represented by a religious leader known as the false prophet and the “scarlet coloured beast” will be headed up by none other than the great impostor, the man of sin, the antichrist. So, we have the “woman” and the “beast’ in the “wilderness” where John ministered. The false prophet will claim to be John the Baptist, in spirit, and the impostor, the antichrist, will claim to be “the lamb of God…”.
Yes, “Wilderness” in this case is not a metaphor.
.
Mark 8:38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Who is Anti-Christ?…he who claims to be FREE to do what is RIGHT in the eyes of each man.
…some say the “Pope”.
People talk about the coming of a “New World Order” which would give equality to all religions / gods…which accepts all religions, which accepts homosexuality, which accepts capitalism….
BUT THIS “WORLD ORDER” ALREADY EXISTS and is worshipped by all nations and by all religions..it is known as FREEDOM of Rights, FREEDOM of Religion.
All people desire it and have willingly received its mark ( name = character / number=values) on their foreheads and hands.
The religious worship it for their religious freedom.
… the Catholics, the Christians ( & all its denominations), the Jews, all other religions, and yes, even the Muslims.
The capitalists worship it for the greed freedom.
The homosexuals worship it for the sexual freedom.
President Obama has declared the message, as a spiritual messenger(=angel) from on high, that this FREEDOM is the “Light of the world” and the righteousness of man for his peace. He has confessed in Jerusalem that there is a “common” ‘god’ among the 3 main religions of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam whose identity and gift is FREEDOM. President Obama has placed the tabernacle of his FREEDOM palace between and above the Holy Mountain of the One Creator.
AND this FREEDOM dictates that it is RIGHT, a right, to be free to worship ANY ‘god’ as per one’s self-desires and self-interests, established as per one’s definition of “good and evil’.
BUT the One Creator commanded man to worship ONLY HIM. HE said that man is not to worship any other gods….in other words HE warned man that man is NOT FREE to worship other ‘gods’ for if he were to do so the judgement and punishment for this disobedience ( for this taken freedom) would be death.
The Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the One Creator, said that we are to worship ONLY the One Lord your Creator God and HIM Alone to SERVE in obedience and love, love for HIM first and foremost and love for, to do GOOD according to the One True Way, to the fellow man.
Very soon, the Lord Jesus Christ will return, as a thief in man’s eyes, to rule the earth in obedience and power as the ONE KING according to the Will of ‘I AM’ and NOT according to man’s first love for “his freedom”, for his desire to serve and magnify oneself (XES).
…and man will weep and clench his teeth in intense anger when his freedom will be no more.
The Anointed Lord Jesus said to repent and to serve Only Him, the One True Way of Life.
So I kind of stumbled upon this on accident, but yeah this whole piece was both stupid and wrong. The Jews, Christians, and Muslims all believe in the same god. They are the three Abrahamic religions. Allah is the same exact god that Christians and Jews worship. They just have some different opinions about things and can’t get along. Christians believe that Jesus was the son of god and that there is a holy trinity of father, son, and holy ghost/spirit. Jews and Muslims do not agree with this, and believe Jesus to simply be a profit of god, and that there cannot be a holy trinity because they believe that to be akin to worshiping three gods. It’s like how non-catholic Christians disagree with Catholics about how prominent Mary is in their particular sect of that religion. So the bible cannot condemn Allah as an idol, because Allah is the same exact god in the bible.
The ignorance of people that believe in the Abrahamic religions is hilarious. It’s basically just one religion that splintered into three main groups, and it has continued to splinter from there. Now there’s a ton of groups that fight and hate each other. Go figure- the devil is their religion. I mean, a unified Abrahamic religion would further the cause of believers in god, but you apparently know so little about the world that you ignorantly condemned it.
It is Baha’i [www.bahai.org] that unifies the Abrahamic religions into one and is itself of Abrahamic nature.
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
They may change the laws of the land but they will never change the WORD of GOD.
May we continue to be faithful to HIM, our SAVIOR, LORD JESUS CHRIST despite the current situation.
Amen. Well said. -B&E
Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for the true Christians we still have amongst ourselves loyal to our Lord. May Lord be with us and blesses us now and in the time to come.
the pope is a false prophet, beware all christians.
It’s actually very simple!.. The false prophet was Muhammad and the One World religion blending Catholicism with Islam is the Baha’i Faith [ http://www.bahai.org ] and the antiChrist is Baha’u’llah
[ http://www.bahaullah.org ] the founder of this religion!..
This is why i stop trusting church and priests.I believe in God but i don’t believe in church like institution.
Let’s not forget who was screaming “crucify him”(catholics). Christ is coming back not as a babe to be crucified but as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. It’s gonna be Glorious!
First thank you for this article. My Lord and Savior Jesus is everything to me and above all others. His Word is implanted in my heart and soul and it hurts me so to see so many who claim to love Jesus sway so easily to the falsehood occurring in this day and age. I will never hate anyone yet will NEVER deny My Lord or His Word. People please stand strong and know Jesus is real and I know for I live every day with Him. I am not afraid nor will I be confused about my Lord Jesus.
I pray for all to have the honor of Jesus in their lives. Jesus is and will always be! I love you all and blessings to all.
KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!!!!!!
This article is very informative about the only worldly religion supported by Satan and his tools. I have only one remark or suggestion about the so-called equality of Jesus Christ with the Father Yahweh. When Christ declares that “He and his Father are one” (John 10:30), the Greek word for “one” is ‘ehad’ which has the meaning of not equality but of absolute unity in thought and action between the Father and the Son, members of the divine family, both of whom carry the divine name Yahweh. Be careful with the Trinity doctrine.
