How Religious Ecumenism Will Help the Antichrist and His New World Order

By -
Make no mistake that the Second Vatican Council is indeed the headquarters of the ecumenical movement. It's been observed since the Second Vatican Council that various Popes have already been involved in reaching out to unite world religions. The ones that I've observed the most are of John Paul II, Benedict XVI and the most recent one from Pope Francis. This is where all religions are coming together as one. It's not a bit shocking for any Christian to see the ecumenism happening and it's further proof that the Popes don't sit at the Seat of Peter.

So how will ecumenism eventually fit in with the New World Order? I have observed several religions today await for an upcoming messiah. Here's what can be observed with some messiah figures awaited by the unsaved:
  • Followers of Judaism are still waiting for their messiah - even when Jesus Christ is the Messiah that they have been waiting for all this time.
  • Muslims long await for the arrival of the Mahdi or the Islamic messiah. 
  • Buddhists and possibly Jains and Hindus believe in the upcoming of the Maitreya. Hindus believe in the coming of a new avatar of Vishnu who will eventually judge the world. Maitreya in Buddhism is believed to come to achieve pure enlightenment and teach the pure dharma.
  • Taoism teaches that their highest god the Jade Emperor will soon hand over his throne to the Heavenly Master of the Dawn of the Jade of the Golden Door. 

The Antichrist himself may claim to be each one of those fake messiahs and they are all him. He may claim that he is the messiah to the unsaved Jews. He may claim to be the Mahdi of Muslims which causes some pastors to later believe that the Man of Sin will be a Muslim. He may even appear to teach the so-called "pure dharma" claiming to be the non-existent Maitreya. He may even claim that the time of the Jade Emperor is over and that he is the Heavenly Master of the Dawn of the Jade of the Golden Door - all the while Jesus truthfully claimed to be the Door of the Sheep in John 10:9-16. He may also even claim to be Mithra to the followers of the minor religion of Zoroastrianism. Worse, he may even claim to be Jesus Christ when he isn't.

If everyone gets a singular messiah that they could relate to - one to teach the "pure dharma", one to bring peace to the Middle East, one who could be the "one god for all religions" then the Antichrist should be that man. 
2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Revelation 13:1-8 
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 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. 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Revelation's portrayal of the power of the Antichrist is something. The four beasts in Daniel 7 all total to seven heads and ten horns. The first beast was a lion, the second was a bear, the third was a four headed leopard and the fourth was an iron beast with ten horns. The very symbolism proves that the Antichrist has the power of the four empires that fell. Such power would make it look like that he died and rose again when he didn't. The very power of the Antichrist would get him attention around the world, he would claim to be God. If he can claim to be the messiah of each and every religion waiting for their own counterfeit messiah - then it would be very easy for the Man of Sin to set up a New World Order!

This would be very important in setting up the false peace treaty with Israel. If he can claim to be Mahdi to the Arabs and Christ to the Jews then he can certainly set up a false peace treaty at a very smooth pace. His false prosperity is certainly coming to an end. It would make him go after the wealth of Israel. If he can set himself up in Israel and make the world believe that he is God then think of how his horrible blasphemies can even gain more foothold. Unfortunately for him, Israel will not remain forever in his grasp and the true Christ of Scriptures will eventually crush his forces. Both he and the False Prophet are destined to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire together with all who have rejected the Lord Jesus Christ!
