Is there any prophetic relationship between ISIS, The Pope, and the time of the End?

       

In recent weeks we have seen the development of a crisis that is fulfilling bible prophecy. Presently the media has been filled with pictures of a militant terrorists group called ISIS. Where is it headed (the murders, the be-headings, the great atrocities) ? How will these type of tragedies be brought to a halt? Will we see another world war? Notice the following inspired quotation:

“The world is filled with storm and war and variance. Yet under one head–the papal power–the people will unite to oppose God in the person of His witnesses. This union is cemented by the great apostate. ” {7T 182.2} Read Rev. 13:3.

This is happening right before our eyes, are you ready? Do you have an experience with Jesus that can endure such a crisis? In recent news media coverage, the former Israeli President just reported where he believes all of this is leading and what will be necessary to stop the overwhelming massacres. Notice his words, “given that the United Nations has run its course, what we need is an organization of United Religions,” Peres said, as “the best way to counteract these terrorists who kill in the name of their faith.”

“What we need is an unquestionable moral authority who says out loud, ‘No. God doesn’t want this and doesn’t allow it,’” he said.

I wonder what religion the former Israeli President had in mind that could unite the world? And I wonder who he had in mind as the moral authority? Well, if one reads the recent article one does not have to wonder (simply unbelievable but very prophetic). The following is a brief quotation of what he said as recorded by the catholic news service:

“In an exclusive interview with Famiglia Cristiana, the 91-year-old former two-term prime minister of Israel said he wanted to establish an international body representing the world’s major religions, as a moral force able to intervene in conflicts. “Peres said Pope Francis would be the best person to head such a world body because “perhaps for the first time in history, the Holy Father is a leader who’s respected, not just by a lot of people, but also by different religions and their representatives.”

“In fact, perhaps he is the only leader who is truly respected” in the world, said Peres, who was jointly awarded the Nobel Peace prize in 1994 with Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat and Israeli Premier Yitzak Rabin. Peres said the United Nations and its peacekeepers “do not have the force or the effectiveness of any one of the pope’s homilies, which can draw half a million people just in St. Peter’s Square alone.” – Messengers of Light Ministry.

Pope Urges Cooperation on Vatican Reform From Cardinals

Pope Francis urged his cardinals Thursday to cooperate in reforming the outdated and dysfunctional Vatican bureaucracy, saying the overhaul will help him govern the Catholic Church better and spread the faith more effectively.

Francis summoned cardinals from around the world to hear his proposals for revamping the central government of the 1.2-billion-strong church. The proposals include merging smaller offices into two big new congregations: one for laity, family and life issues; another for charity and peace that will have an important new sector focused on the environment, a core concern for Francis.

Francis said the aim of the reform was to encourage greater harmony and collaboration in “absolute transparency,” to help the church spread the faith and reach out to others.

“Certainly, reaching that goal won’t be easy,” he said. “It needs time, determination and above all the collaboration of everyone.”

Francis was elected two years ago on a mandate from cardinals to reform the Vatican hierarchy, which during the final year of Pope Benedict XVI’s papacy was exposed publicly as being a place of petty, back-biting turf battles, beset by cronyism, corruption and waste.

Francis made clear what he considered to be wrong with the Vatican Curia last December, when he ticked off 15 ailments that can afflict its members. He cited “spiritual Alzheimer’s,” lusting for power and the “terrorism of gossip.”

The reform proposals aim to rationalize the sometimes haphazard way departments have grown over the years and to improve communication among them, said the Vatican spokesman, Rev. Federico Lombardi.

Within the new congregation for justice and charity would be an important new sector for the environment and how it affects people, a sign that the church knows it must show “a serious and consistent commitment” to the issue, Lombardi said.

Francis, who has said he believes global warming is “mostly” man-made, is planning a major encyclical on the environment and human ecology that has thrilled environmentalists and alarmed climate change deniers. – ABC News.
