Global Universal Power of the Pope!?

Do do recall this headline a couple years ago...?

-----------------------------------
ONE WORLD CHURCH STARTS UP!

---United Religions on Track ~ With Modifications--- June 1997, Episcopalian Bishop William Swing jubilantly announced "Tell the people there is a UNITED RELIGIONS" -Catholic Family News, Nov 1997, Vol #4. Issue # 11

-----------------------------------
Rather strange eh? A one world church? With all the thousands of denominations worldwide they are forming a one world church? How's this possible? How can the Beast of Revelation convince people that all the worlds churches should join hands as one? Many modern day "well learned" scoffers not 10 years ago are now being seen as unwise, and all those that proclaimed this prophecy are now starting to appear wise. Yet, still, the same people that ignored the warnings of this one world church are no doubt the same that are fillings its pews. And, WHO do you think the collective Churches of the World will "pick" as the one who should sit in the seat as the leader of this one world church? One guess... I'll give you a hint...

CHURCHES AGREE THAT POPE HAS OVERALL AUTHORITY

Electronic Telegraph-UK News
May 13, 1999 Oliver Poole
http://www.freerepublic.com/

THE Pope was recognised as the overall authority in the Christian world by an Anglican and Roman Catholic commission yesterday which described him as a "gift to be received by all the Churches". ...if a new united Christian Church was created it would be the 'Bishop of Rome who would exercise a universal primacy. The 43-page document, The Gift of Authority, has been produced by the 18-member Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission, after five years of debate. The commission concluded that the Bishop of Rome had a "specific ministry concerning the discernment of truth" and accepted that only the Pope had the moral authority to unite the various Christian denominations. Mark Birchall, a member of the Church of England Evangelical council, said: "It speaks as if the Bishop of Rome has always been on the side of the angels while it is well known that for several centuries past the Bishop of Rome was certainly not." The Rt Rev Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, Bishop of Arundel and Brighton and the other co-chairman, added: "The primacy of the Pope is a gift to be shared."

-----------------------------------

The POPE is definately going to be crowned the leader of the one world church. Regardless of what faith you embrace you will one day have to acknowledge the Popes LAWS as binding upon your church as well as upon your personal life as I will prove to you later. Is the Roman Catholic Church going to just sit back on this and wait before it decides to "gather the faithful" for matters concerning us all? Or is he going to use this new found popularity to his advantage? SEVEN DAYS LATER this article comes forward. Notice who is already speaking for all the worlds religions...

INTER-RELIGIOUS MEETING TO PROMOTE WORLD PEACE
Vatican update from Catholic World News May 20, 1999 Domus Ent.

VATICAN (CWNews.com) -- "Everyone must work together to build up the peace," said Cardinal Francis Arinze, as he announced that a major inter- religious assembly will be held at the Vatican in October. Cardinal Arinze, the president of the Pontifical Council for Inter-Religious Dialogue, told a Vatican Radio audience that about 200 people will be invited to take part in the assembly, which will be scheduled for October 24- 29. The participants will include Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and representatives of other faiths. The goal of the assembly will be the preparation of a common declaration in favor of world peace. The participants will make a pilgrimage to Assisi on October 27, and share a day of prayer-- each following the traditions of his own faith-- on October 28. Pope John Paul II will preside at the formal closing of the assembly on October 29

-------------------------------------

ONE WORLD CHURCH is getting REAL popular eh? And see how quickly the "political" aspect of this church lurched to the forefront! And look! It's Cardinal Arinze again! He's the one that openly stated to the media that you do NOT need Jesus to gain Salvation! If you missed that article, read it here... nl990513.htm

Did you also notice that Cardinal Arinze is now the PRESIDENT of the PONTIFICAL COUNCIL FOR INTER-RELIGIOUS DIALOGUE. This is the same Cardinal that is also being spoken of as "the next Pope" in the article as well. So, what's next? Check out these next two articles...

NATIONAL ISSUE: ONE WORLD COURT FOR ALL THE WORLD?

A United Nationas meeting in Rome is wrapping up five weeks of work on a proposed international criminal court. The new court would have worldwide jurisdiction and could investigate, indict, hold, try, and punish, those who committed "certain" crimes. The proposed international court would subject Americans to a new world authority... "Were talking about creating here something that exercises genuine power, real put-people-in-jail power, but that is responsible to no one but itself." said Lee Casey, a constituational lawyer with the washington firm of Hunton & Williams. [Investment Business Daily, Thursday July 16, 1998 Los Angeles, California]

RATIFICATION OF INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT

Since 120 nations voted at the Rome Conference to adopt the International Criminal Court Statue, it seems certain that the required ratification by 60 national parliments will be easily obtained. This means that the World Criminal Court will probably begin operation in 1999. Every person on earth would then be vulnerable to prosecution and conviction before this world court system without the protection of our long-cherished constitutional safegaurds and the Bill of Rights. [Prophecy Update, Jan/Feb. 1999

-----------------------------------

Ok, we have a ONE WORLD CHURCH headed by the Pope. And now we see a ONE WORLD COURT system IN ROME headed by him as well. I wonder, do you suppose the "DOCTRINAL LAWS" of Catholicism will now become LAWS OF THE LAND? Do you suppose the Pope will now use his new found powers to enforce his doctrinal laws? Will the laws of Catholicism be found etched into the laws of the land? ALL lands? But first, won't he have to convince the people that to break his laws would mean an act of heresy?

-----------------------------------

THE HOLY FATHER LAYS DOWN THE DOCTRINAL LAW!

Whoever "obstinately" denies these truths, the doctrinal commentary says, falls under the censure of heresy. [Our Sunday Visitor, Analysis, July 19, 1998]

-----------------------------------

I don't know about you. But this bold proclamation reeks of prophetic fulfillment. Here's the proof! Acts 24:14 says... "But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:" Paul saw them stating that "the way" he was chosen by God to follow is now being called "heresy." The Pope is stating the exact same thing as Paul's accusers! He proclaims that if you deny Catholic doctrine you are a HERETIC! Yet UnBiblical Catholic doctrines are exactly what the Bible refers to as heresy. So, in a nutshell, if you decide to embrace the truths of Scripture instead of the doctrines of Catholicism you are a heretic! Sound CoNfUsInG? It gets worse!

***BTW... I have an in depth look at the BOLD heresy of the RCC in the first section of "The Second Window" In it I share the Catholic doctrine, then I share the Bible verse that PROVES the Catholic doctrine heresy. It's FREE!! And I can email it to you or you can read it online at... 2winmenu.htm

getting back... Do you recall this article...?

POPE SETS THE STAGE,
CALLS FOR SUNDAY LAW

The Pope is calling for GLOBAL Sunday observance. [From the Brook, July-Sept 1998 Vol. 4, No. 3]

-----------------------------------
And this one...?
-----------------------------------

"Christians will naturally strive to ensure that civil legislation respects their duty to keep Sunday holy." [Pope John Paul II -Section 67, "Dies Domini" 8-98]

-----------------------------------

Ok, so now we have a ONE WORLD CHURCH that has started and ALL the World has already decided the "Pope" should have "overall authority" over the churches of the world. And we also see that the Pope also has the ONE WORLD COURTROOM in his living room as well. Now we see that the Pope is calling for his "doctrinal laws" to be made into "LAWS OF THE LAND." BUT... will the people agree with this? Will the world allow for the "laws of the church" to be enforced in such a way that you and I can be PUNISHED for breaking them? Well, check out this rather long and blunt headline...

-----------------------------------

IF WE BELIEVE RELIGION IS TRUE, WE SHOULD BE REINTRODUCING A CRIMINAL PENALTY FOR THOSE WHO FAIL TO ATTEND CHURCH ON SUNDAY [Daily Independent 4-11-98 -Sara Maitland "On the issues of belief"]

-----------------------------------

It appears the people are primed and ready. So, are LAWS being passed that favor the Pope's desires? Keep in mind, once these laws of the "One World Church" go into effect, the "One World Court" in ROME will enforce them! COUNT ON IT! So... are these laws being passed...?

-----------------------------------

LAW TO KEEP SABBATH HOLY

A BILL to be introduced in the Morobe Tutumang soon to enforce Sunday as a day of worship for all in the province. The proposed Bill expected to draw debate because it seeks to ban all activities - social and economic on Sunday. The law will carry penalty provisions for operators and agencies caught violating it. Mr Wenge said yesterday the move was radical one but one that was based on Christian principals and values. The Bill is being drafted for tabling in the provincial assembly in its first session next year [Post Courier NewsPaper Oct. 6, 1998 Papua New Guinea
(
http://cnn.com/WORLD/asiapcf/9807/20/papua.new.guinea.01/)

-----------------------------------

It appears so, yes. Note that the tabling will be done in 1999 for this law. Is it hitting close to home though? Are there laws such as this in the USA? Are there laws that "hint" at priming the people into getting used to KEEPING the Popes unBiblical SUNday Sabbath holy? I am sure most of us recall what the FIRST Roman Catholic President John F. Kennedy did in 1962 right? He REMOVED prayer from schools and he created the "Blue Laws" that force all government agencies to KEEP SUNday holy! But that's just the "hint" that the people of this free land needed to ready them for today. Is there a more bolder "nudge" for us Americans to get used to the idea that SUNday keeping will be ENFORCED soon? Notice this LAW NOW ON THE BOOKS!

------------------------------------

So... we have the Pope as the LEADER of the ONE WORLD CHURCH. He now has the power to ENFORCE his laws of Catholicism as LAWS OF THE LAND simply because he also has the ONE WORLD COURT SYSTEM in his Vatican resting place. And once his laws are passed he can assure their enforcement. And they are already being passed! What do I see here? I see a man that has the power to control the WHOLE WORLD. Yet, I wonder... do you think he will go after another aspect of power? Do you think maybe a GLOBAL economy would benefit his agenda as well? I mean it makes sense, right? I am not talking just any global economy here. I am saying he will no doubt seek one that "must be 100% global and must include everyone."

------------------------------------

VATICAN: "GLOBAL ECONOMY SHOULD BENEFIT EVERYONE"
Bishop Diarmuid Martin States that Reduction of Debt is Not Enough

MILAN, MAY 5 (ZENIT).- "It is an important step forward, but this measure alone is not enough." This is the authoritative view of Bishop Diarmuid Martin, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, who represented the Holy See at the recent meeting of the International Monetary Fund in Washington, where a reduction of the foreign debt of poor countries was approved. In an interview with the daily 'Avvenire,' Bishop Martin explained the novelty of this decision: "It is a real macroeconomic revolution. Up until five years ago, the world financial institutions were very far from thinking about debt reduction as an important economic factor. Not only for the poor countries but for the very balance of the world economy." The Vatican expert is very clear as regards to the pros and cons of the phenomenon of globalization. In order not to remain lame, it must also extend to the globalization of social goods: "The global economy must be 100% global and must include everyone. With the consequent exclusion of moral evil and the inclusion of the economic good. In order to create a new world architecture it is imperative to have coherence among economic, political and social policies. Otherwise, if the third factor is missing, it will be a crooked construction."

---------------------------------------

The Vatican states... "The global economy must be 100% global and must include everyone." It also states "it is imperative to have coherence among economic, political and social policies" The Beast is doing E X A C T L Y as Scripture declares!

Revelation 13:17, "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."

The entire world MUST be sowed up economically, politically, as well as socially for the Beast's plan to work! And TRUST the prophecy of a God! IT WILL BE THIS WAY! For the prophecy of the Creator is not that of a dime store Psychic! The Almighty is a God of 100% accuracy. 100%!

Not too long ago the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church was not one to be contended with. It was weak, and useless. Why? Because prophecy stated it would be wounded to its death. But the prophecy also stated it WOULD be healed as well...

Revelation 13:3, "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast."

Yes! Exactly as prophecy depicts! The Beast recieved the mortal wound in 1798 when Napoleon ended the Roman Catholic Church and all its murderous acts, and the Pope died in exile. (Encyclopedia Britannica 1941 edition) Then just as prophecy said, the beast came back to life in 1929 when The San Francisco Chronicle, on February 12, 1929: reported... "Mussolini and Gasparri Sign Historic Roman Pact...HEAL WOUND of many years..." The newspaper prophetically uses the words "HEAL WOUND" just as Revelation proclaimed! And now we see that indeed ALL THE WORLD WONDERED AFTER THE BEAST! ALL the world is looking upon the Pope in the Vatican as the OVERALL AUTHORITY for all the churches! They look upon him as the one who would "?justly?" enact his laws within the walls of his one world court as well! They look upon this Vatican as one that has been sustained for 2000 years regardless of the fact that it didn't truly begin until 538AD, (History of the Christian Church, Vol. 3, p. 327) and Napoleon knocked it out of political existance in 1798, and they also ignore the simple Biblical fact that the TRUE Church of Jesus Christ is 6000 years old!

One more article just came to me by way of a friend that I believe "connects" with these. Ask yourself one more question. Since the Pope has the one world church, the one world court, and now he is looking to grab the economic, social, political aspects as well, won't he need to convince all the major corporations of the world as well? Won't he have to take part in a meeting of ALL the movers and shakers on planet earth in order to effectively enact his "new world order?" Is such a meeting a possiblity? Well, as of a few days ago on June 3rd, and until June 6th just such a meeting IS taking place!

CLINTON, POPE JOIN BILDERBERGERS SECRET MEETING OF GLOBAL MOVERS, SHAKERS IN PORTUGAL,

© 1999 WorldNetDaily.com

What do Steven Spielberg, Pope John Paul II, Ted Turner, Boris Yeltsin, Bill Clinton and House Speaker Dennis Hastert have in common? They are among those on a "partial guest list" of expected attendees to the 1999 Bilderberg meeting in Portugal scheduled for next week. The secret meeting in Sintra, Portugal, takes place June 3-6. According to sources which have penetrated the high-security meetings in the past, the Bilderberg meetings emphasize a globalist agenda and promote the idea that the notion of national sovereignty is antiquated and regressive

((CHECK OUT A "PARTIAL LIST" OF ATTENDEE'S HERE...))
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_exnews/19990526_xex_clinton_pope.shtml

------------------------------------------

Can you guess what their up to? Did you see who is on the list? It appears every base is covered. Besides the obvious "heads of state" from all over the World that will attend this GLOBAL MEETING, here's just a few that I found on the list to be a bit "strange." What are these guys doing in a global meeting such as this? Is Clinton and the Pope there to assure their global desires are understood by ALL people of the world? Indeed! LOOK at the names on this "partial" list. Look at some of the companies that will be present here. It appears our daily lives are about to be discussued eh? It also appears our every day lives are about to be altered in a way that can only confirm that "The Mark of the Beast" is about to be enforced! Why else would all these companies be present? Think about it. The Bible says you will NOT be able to "buy or sell" without the mark of the Beast. Now think about all these companies being in agreement with the Pope. Now think about the Pope insisting that anyone that does not agree with his "doctrines" will be prevented from "buying or selling" anything from these affiliated companies. And then realize that the power to enforce his desires are found in the ONE WORLD COURT in ROME. And also keep in mind that "he thinks" he has no one to answer for but himself!

You tell me. Are they up to something? Are not all those that are necessary to impliment a worldwide enforcement of the "mark of the beast" actively gathered together? BTW... A friend just shared this quote with me from Ellen White the other day...

"While we are warning people everywhere that the end of this world is near, and Jesus is coming soon, "the man of sin" is telling people something else." [The Great Controversy p 565]

Is the "man/Pope of sin" doing that now?
----------------------------------------
POPE ASSURES ITALIANS
THE END IS NOT YET NIGH.
To the dismay of Seven Day Adventist's... but to the relief of everyone else, the Pope has declared that the world is not about to end.
[From The Times, 24 April 1998, by Richard Owen in Rome] http://www.zetatalk.com/theword/tword12i.htm

This was also prophecied...

1 Thessalonians 5:3, "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape."

Jesus IS coming BACK people! A LOT sooner than you think! Are you ready?
