The
Power of Popes & the Three Religions of Jerusalem
In late
2015 to early 2016, within
a period of just 120 days, Pope Francis visited the "Christian"
White House, an "Islamic" mosque, and a "Jewish" Temple.
Why? To united the Three Religions of Jerusalem and all the world
together in inter-faith dialogue and brotherhood. As a forerunner, he is
setting the global stage for the Man of Sin--Antichrist to emerge onto the
world scene.
Pope Francis Visited the Protestant "Christian" White House
It
is significant that during the High Holy Days in September of last year, America's
leadership invited Pope Francis into the White House at the
Biblical Festival of Yom Kippur, with
a  throng of devotees who adored and worshiped
him, to build his quest for brotherhood among the nations and religions of
the world.
There's
no doubt that since it's inception America long stood as a
"Protestant" beacon of light
to the nations, separating from the power of Rome's influence. Believers from
the U.S. spread the gospel of Jesus
Christ to the nations through missionary work, and was founded on Judeo-Christian
principles. As the Catholic/Protestant ecumenical movement gained momentum,
that trend reversed and there is a growing acceptance of Papal
authority.
In
another significant move to mend "Christian" brotherhood ties, the
Roman Catholic Pope Francis will
meet  with
his counterpart--the
head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, during a historic
visit to Latin America. The groundbreaking meeting is to happen in
mid-February 2015 in Cuba. The meeting between heads the two major Christian
churches would be an unprecedented move to mend the millennium-long rift
between the Western and Eastern branches of the religion, which started with
the Great Schism of 1054. There is no doubt in light of our nearness to
final events that the goal of restoring
unity will be met.
Pope Francis Visited an " Islamic" Mosque in Africa
Speaking first in an inter-religious meeting
with some 200 Muslims at a Bangui’s central mosque, located in an area of
the city known for frequent 
violent inter-religious clashes, Francis exhorted: "Christians
and Muslims are brothers and sisters!"
“We must therefore consider ourselves and
conduct ourselves as such!” he told the Muslim men at the meeting, sitting
cross-legged before him. “Those who claim to believe in God must also be
men and women of peace!”
“Together, we must say no to hatred, to
revenge and to violence, particularly that violence which is perpetrated in
the name of a religion or of God himself -- God is peace, salam,”
he said, using the Arabic word for peace.

Pope
Francis Visited
a "Jewish" Synagogue in Rome
Amid chanting of psalms in Hebrew and
speeches underscoring the remarkable advances in Catholic-Jewish relations
in the past 50 years, Francis
became the third pontiff to visit Rome's Great Synagogue, after popes John
Paul and Benedict.
The Temple is just across the Tiber River
from the Vatican, and is rich with symbolism of the past persecution of
Jews, who for nearly 300 years until the mid-19th century were forced to
live in the adjoining quarter still known as The Ghetto and make compulsory
payments to the popes.
The Pope said, "The violence of man
against man is in contradiction with any religion worthy of this name, in
particular the three great monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity and
Islam)," he said in what appeared to be a reference to attacks by
Islamist militants."
Yahya Pallavicini, an Italian Islamic leader
involved in inter-faith dialogue, also attended the ceremony and the pope
warmly greeted him.
Francis has called for the
"rediscovery of the Jewish roots of Christianity" and repeated an
appeal for Catholics to "say 'no' to every form of anti-Semitism".
"Jews
and Christians must, therefore, feel like brothers united by the
same God and by a rich common spiritual heritage," he said.
"The
violence of man against man is in contradiction with any religion worthy of
this name, in particular the three great monotheistic religions (Judaism,
Christianity and Islam)," he said in what appeared to be a reference to
attacks by Islamist militants.
The
Outcome
It's
not surprising that part of the work of God is the downfall of nations who
once cherished Scriptural values, but have turned their back on Almighty
God. His Word offers plenty of examples of how He dealt with people,
individuals and groups according to how they honor, or refuse to honor, Him. The
examples include the worldwide flood, Sodom and Gomorrah fire, Israel's
enemies defeated in battle, Egypt's plagues, and even the beloved Jerusalem, when His
chosen people refused the counsel of God's prophets (586 B.C.) and Messiah
Himself (70 A.D.). Likewise, in this regard, God's protection is being
withdrawn from America, which prophetically sits at the verge of
destruction and a disastrous fall from favored status. The countenance of
God's mercy no longer shines brightly upon the U.S., because we have turned our back on Him.
In
our Insights
in Prophecy Lesson Series, the case has been built for the supernatural rise
of Antichrist from within Catholicism, specifically from the Vatican power-base.
We've learned one of the last acts of the end-time Antichrist/Pope is that
he will be welcomed by Jerusalem's political leaders, and the religious leaders
of her three religions (Judaism, Islam and Christianity), into the
center of the capital of Jerusalem and onto the rebuilt Temple Mount (turmoil over the Temple Mount has seen an explosion
of articles in late 2015--click here) to set up his
abomination, bringing worship to himself (The
Kingdom Calendar, Pt. 17); this, in turn, will signal the
splitting into three parts the city of Jerusalem--Babylon the Great (Revelation
16:19).
How End-time Events Will Begin & End
The New World Order will emerge from a quick but
devastating World War III. With nuclear holocaust and the unimaginable human
carnage there will be global financial collapse, natural disasters, poisoned air and
pandemics. Supernatural signs and wonders (e.g. Marian sightings) will escalate, and religious
unity based on Vatican/Catholic "Sunday-promoting"
governance centered in the Europe Union (Lisbon Treaty), promoting the
"common good" of all nations under Papal and European
NATO
rule will gain strength under the leadership of the Man of Sin. This will ultimately lead to a global marking system for buying
and selling, and 10 divisions of the world (10 Kings) foretold in Revelation
17:12-14.

The
nine original participants (France, the United Kingdom, Germany, the
Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, and Estonia) were soon after
joined by Finland. Now Norway and Sweden are on board. Italy, which had been
initially invited but delayed its decision, just saw its application
approved. There is talk of a Greek candidacy and other countries have shown
various level of interest.
There is a Catholic teaching
that before the great climax of human history  righteous Popes will
turn many to Christianity, followed by an evil Pope or
Antichrist who would
emerge to fulfill the apocalyptic predictions of Revelation.
The Bible reveals that
this Evil One will rule the world; that he would at first "come in [Christ's]
name" (Matthew
24:5), but will deny Messiah in word and action. Near the
end of his days he will enter onto the rebuilt Temple
Mount in Jerusalem (2
Thessalonians 2:3-4) and declare himself God. His
abomination will be complete, and God's patience exhausted. His
miraculous rise was foretold by Yeshua and the Hebrew prophets in the Word
of God.
John Paul, the most popular pope of modern times, whose 27 year Papal reign from
October 1978 to April 2005, did
much to raise the role of the Papacy and Marian worship across the globe
during to his many pastoral travels. John Paul's own Marian devotion
is explained in
the book The Keys Of This Blood, published in1990 by the former Dr.
Malachi Martin--theologian, Jesuit and professor at the Vatican's
Pontificate Biblical Institute and devote Catholic. He
wrote
that John Paul "turned more and more intently to prayer.
Prayer, especially, to Mary as the geopolitical hope ... of the world.
Because, he was now sure, Mary had saved him from int ended
death in St. Peter's Square that May 13 [1981]--the official feast day of
Mary as Our Lady of
Fatima
," (page 626). He
believed that Mary had called him to a great mission.
John Paul II
himself wrote, "Could I forget that the event [Ali Ağca's
assassination attempt] in St. Peter’s Square took place on the day and
at the hour when the first appearance of the Mother of Christ to the poor
little peasants has been remembered for over sixty years at Fátima,
Portugal? For in everything that happened to me on that very day, I felt
that extraordinary motherly protection and care, which turned out to be
stronger than the deadly bullet." —Pope
John Paul II -Memory & Identity, Weidenfeld & Nicolson,
2005, p.184
John Paul believed he was to be the last moral leader
to rule the nations; however, another will arise to this position of
power--an evil ruler with demonic powers and Jewish roots, of whom Jean-Marie
Lustiger serves as a exemplar of him whose cryptic rise from the ashes
of fiery destruction leads to global power and the final days.
