There is a prophecy in the book of Revelation which is quite colorful, (literally), but cryptic to say the least. This prophecy describes a woman riding upon a beast, with the woman clothed in scarlet and purple and adorned with great riches. The Apostle John is describing for us the coming global religious system, (the Woman), which works hand in hand with the coming global political/economic world system, (the Beast). It's very interesting that John notes that the woman is adorned with great riches and is dressed in scarlet and purple, (the colors of the Catholic Bishops and Cardinals), with the Catholic Church being one of the wealthiest enterprises on earth. It is our belief that the Roman Church will be the backbone of this future false religious system
Knowing the above, it is not at all surprising to see articles like these which report that the Catholic Church desires a much closer relationship with other major religions in an attempt to address the problems of the world, including the current economic morass. The Catholic Church desires to move the world towards the worship of the Eucharist Christ in this goal of solving the worlds problems. One can see how this seemingly noble goal of religions working together will easily be usurped for the purpose of causing the world to be deceived into accepting and worshiping the future Antichrist.
"THEN THE ANGEL CARRIED ME AWAY IN THE SPIRIT INTO A WILDERNESS. THERE I SAW A WOMAN SITTING ON A SCARLET BEAST THAT WAS COVERED WITH BLASPHEMOUS NAMES AND HAD SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS. THE WOMAN WAS DRESSED IN PURPLE AND SCARLET, AND WAS GLITTERING WITH GOLD, PRECIOUS STONES AND PEARLS. SHE HELD A GOLDEN CUP IN HER HAND, FILLED WITH ABOMINABLE THINGS AND THE FILTH OF HER ADULTERIES. REVELATION 17:3-4 NIV"
From the articles:Amid worldwide grappling with the economic crisis, Benedict XVI's representative at
Italy's 25th National Eucharistic Congress is proposing the Eucharist as an invitation to solidarity. Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re opened the congress in
Ancona on Sunday. He said that for today's society, marked as it is with "so much egoism," the Eucharist is "an appeal for openness toward others, to be able to love and to be able to forgive. THE PROBLEMS OF POVERTY, UNDERDEVELOPMENT AND FAMINE IN THE WORLD WILL NEVER BE RESOLVED IF THERE ISN'T TRULY A SENSE OF SOLIDARITY."We can make the planet into a hell by failing to accept one another, or we can learn to live together, open up and give ourselves, says Benedict XVI. The Pope offered this reflection in a message to an inter-religious meeting that concluded Tuesday in
Munich. The event was sponsored by the Catholic lay Community of Sant'Egidio. "The theme of the peace meeting, 'Bound to live together,' reminds us that we as human beings are bound to each other. This living together is in fact a precondition that derives from our being human. And it is our duty to give it a positive content," the Holy Father said in his message.CARDINAL PROPOSES EUCHARISTIC SOLUTION FOR ECONOMIC PROBLEMhttp://www.zenit.org/article-33368?l=englishPOPE BENEDICT XVI WARNS THAT WE CAN MAKE EARTH A HELLhttp://www.zenit.org/article-33431?l=english
