The Bible accurately foretells specific events – in precise detail – sometimes even centuries before they occur.
Approximately 2500 prophecies appear in the pages of the Bible. About 2000, or 80%, have already been fulfilled to the letter, with no errors.
Because we know that the remaining 500 or so prophecies will definitely be fulfilled, we look for news, and trends, that you’d expect to be taking place.
Call it signs of the times.
Towards the end of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, we read of a one-world religion that, for a time, dominates even the antichrist. It’s called a “great harlot,” and the identity of the religious system has been debated over the centuries.
Regardless the final form it will take, from reading the Bible, you’d expect talk about a one-world religion… And that is just what you find in the news.
A recent article was titled, Pope Francis Says All Major Religions Are Paths To Same God.
Excerpts:
A new video has just been released in which Pope Francis very clearly expresses his belief that all of the major religions are different paths to the same God.
He says that while people from various global faiths may be “seeking God or meeting God in different ways” that it is important to keep in mind that “we are all children of God.”
One section of the video features leaders from various global religions expressing faith in their respective deities.
“I have confidence in Buddha,” a female lama announces.
“I believe in God,” a rabbi affirms.
“I believe in Jesus Christ,” a priest states.
“I believe in Allah,” an Islamic leader declares.
… this is not the first time that Pope Francis has done something like this. Very early in his papacy, he authorized “Islamic prayers and readings from the Quran” at the Vatican for the first time ever.
A previous article was titled In New York, Pope Francis Embraced Chrislam And Laid A Foundation For A One World Religion. During his visit to St. Patricks Cathedral in Manhattan, he made it very clear that he believes that Christians and Muslims worship the same God.
The author of the article comes to this conclusion: “Pope Francis believes that all religions are different paths to the same God, and he is working hard to lay a foundation for the coming one world religion.”

We expect a one-world religion to emerge in the Tribulation, and we see the groundwork being laid for it right now.
You know what else you can expect? The church will not be on the earth for any portion of the Tribulation. Jesus promised He’d come for us before that terrible time. He will come and resurrect the dead believers, than snatch-away those who are alive. We call this the Rapture of the church. It is imminent – meaning it could happen any moment.
Are you ready for the rapture? If not, get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up. Ready or not, Jesus is coming!
