Every Sunday we present a prophecy update. We show how news and trends in the world corroborate centuries-old prophecies you read in the Bible.
Fully 80% of the Bible’s approximately 2500 prophecies have been fulfilled to the letter. The prime example I would give, in modern times, is the miraculous rebirth of Israel as a nation in her ancient homeland.
The remaining 20% of yet-to-be fulfilled prophecies have to do with the Last Days in which we are living. Some of them have to do with the forming of a one-world religious system.
Is there a trend toward a one-world religion? There is if you follow Pope Francis.
An August article posted by Charisma News was titled, 12 Times Pope Francis Has Openly Promoted a One World Religion or a New World Order.
Excerpts:
… it has become exceedingly clear that [the Pope’s] agenda includes moving humanity toward a one world religion and a new world order. Of course Pope Francis is not going to use those exact phrases, but at this point it is very obvious what he is trying to do…
[For example in] January 2016: The Vatican releases an extremely disturbing video in which Pope Francis declared that all of the major world religions are “seeking God or meeting God in different ways” and that ultimately “we are all children of God.” The video also featured leaders from various major religions, and they are shown declaring fidelity to their particular gods. First, we see a female Buddhist cleric tell us “I have confidence in the Buddha”, followed by a Jewish rabbi declaring “I believe in God”. As the video goes on, a Catholic priest announces “I believe in Jesus Christ,” and last of all an Islamic leader boldly declares “I believe in God, Allah.”
After watching that video, nobody can deny that the Vatican is openly promoting a one world religion.
[In] November 2015: Pope Francis declared that fundamentalism, even Christian fundamentalism, is a “sickness” during remarks in which he stressed the similarity of the major religions.
[In] March 2013: During his very first ecumenical meeting as Pope, Francis made it very clear that he believes that Christians and Muslims both “worship the one God…”

The author of the article offers this conclusion:
An increasing number of “fundamentalist” Christians are concerned that Pope Francis is setting the stage for a one world religion and a new world order. Merging all of the countries of the world into a giant super-state and merging all of the religions of the world into a single faith may sound like a good idea to many, but the truth is that it would just result in a level of tyranny that most people would not even dare to imagine.
If you read the Bible literally, knowing that there are prophecies yet-to-be fulfilled, you’d expect to see, in the world, a move towards a one-world religion… And that is exactly what you see, in a big way.
The one-world religion will be a prominent feature in the future seven-year Tribulation. We will not be on the earth for any portion of those seven years. Jesus promised to come and get us; to raise the dead in Christ, and to rapture living believers.
It is presented in the Bible as an imminent event.
Are you ready for the rapture? If not, get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up. Ready or not, Jesus is coming!
