Pope Francis: Preaching Marx over Christ |
Islam has been in the news frequently over the past 50 years, and many folks believe that the world's destined to be governed by a caliphate.
Certainly, that seems plausible considering the demographics. Europe is quickly becoming Eurabia with millions of Muslims flooding into that continent from the Middle East, Asia and Africa. Add to that equation the declining population of native Europeans, and it seems inevitable that Islam will eventually take over Europe.
However, biblical prophecy makes no mention of Islam during the last days directly preceding the return of Jesus Christ. Though it seems improbable, Islam is destined to go away and for good.
But how will that happen? If Islam is going to disappear from the world, then how's it going to disappear? And who's going to make it disappear?
Though the Bible never reveals how Islam is going to vanish, we can examine prophecy to find the answer. First of all, biblical prophecy predicts that a great counterfeit spiritual revival is going to sweep across the world culminating with the appearance of the dreaded Antichrist.
Let the apostle Paul explain: "The coming of the lawless one (Antichrist) will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing." (2 Thessalonians 2:9-10)
Jesus Christ said this: "At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you ahead of time." (Matthew 24:23-25)
Secondly, prophecy warns us that when the Antichrist appears and begins performing incredible miracles, the world will bow down to him: "All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s (Christ's) book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world." (Revelation 13:8)

(Revelation 13:8)
The Bible seems to be describing a counterfeit Christian revival that will be ignited by demonic miracles and lead to the Antichrist. Furthermore, the apostle John, who recorded the Revelation in the late 1st century A.D. while in exile from Rome on the island of Patmos, described a world government that will be partnered with a global religion. And the religion that John described sounds very much like the Roman Catholic Church.
When John recorded the Revelation, the Catholic Church didn't exist and wouldn't appear for another 250 years. And yet John revealed the headquarters of the global religion, (Rome) and he described the colors of the clothing worn by the clergy (purple and scarlet) that are the colors worn by the Roman Catholic priesthood. Is that a coincidence? If it is, it's an amazing one indeed.
But isn't the Catholic Church a has-been? Hasn't she become a proverbial white elephant over the past century? Doesn't she seem destined for extinction? Then how can she make a comeback? How? Remember the explosion of supernatural events the Bible predicts are going to happen.
And remember that the Virgin Mary (not to be confused with Christ's true mother Miriam) who is highly exalted in the Catholic Church is also recognized by Islam, Hinduism and millions of Protestants. She's recognized by nearly half of the world's seven billion residents. And she holds the key to the coming revival. Also remember the metaphorical woman that John described in his vision (Revelation 17) concerning the global religion. That woman sounds like Mary.
Not ironically, Pope Francis has become one of the leading spokesmen for a New World Order. He's a Marxist who's been calling for a one world government and a massive redistribution of wealth. And not coincidentally, that's part of the global warming-climate change agenda that the Pope has also been promoting.
In his recent encyclical Laudato Si, the Pope reasoned that the world's salvation depends upon a global government: To manage the global economy; to revive economies hit by the crisis; to avoid any deterioration of the present crisis and the greater imbalances that would result; to bring about integral and timely disarmament, food security and peace; to guarantee the protection of the environment and to regulate migration: for all this, there is urgent need of a true world political authority.
That's a euphemism for a one world government. And the spiritual leader of the Roman Catholic Church is calling for it. If that isn't a fulfillment of biblical prophecy concerning the last days, then what is?
