Barack Obama makes an ecumenical appeal

US President Obama made an ecumenical appeal today:

February 6, 2014

Obama said Thursday at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. “In contrast to those who wield religion to divide us, lets do more to nurture the dialogue between faiths.” http://www.cbsnews.com/news/obama-lets-nurture-the-dialogue-between-faiths/

This is something that Pope Francis most likely will be pleased to learn about.

Barack Obama is also scheduled to meet with Pope Francis on March 27, 2014 (see Barack Obama to meet Pope Francis in March). The two leaders, while different, have some things in common in terms of economic outlook. Now,with this ecumenical statement, Barack Obama is advancing, knowingly or unknowingly, that which is one of Pope Francis’ major objectives, which is to increase ecumenical dialogue (with the goal of an ecumenical religion).

I have mentioned before that their apparent ecumenical bent could be something that Pope Francis and President Obama have in common (see Barack Obama to meet Pope Francis in March). Barack Obama’s statement today has confirmed that.

Pope Francis, himself, has an ecumenical agenda that includes atheists and non-Catholics (see Why Should American Catholics Fear Unity with the Orthodox?). Whereas Barack Obama, who claims Christianity, calls the Koran holy, carries a Hindu monkey god, and has taken certain steps inconsistent with a true Christian profession (for details and links see the article Prophecies of Barack Obama?).

Since the two leaders seemingly have a worldly agenda, perhaps they will agree at their planned meeting to work toward steps to support each other to try to make that agenda take place.

As far as Barack Obama himself goes, I warned back in 2009 (in my book 2012 And the Rise of the Secret Sect) that he would take steps to support the objectives of the final Antichrist. In my view, his ecumenical statements today are consistent with that.

Pope Francis took another ecumenical step today:

February 6, 2014

Tens of thousands of young people have converged the eastern French city of Starbourg for the yearly ecumenical meeting of the Taizé community with Pope Francis calling in a message for Christian unity.

Pope Francis’ message was issued through his secretary of State, Archbishop Pietro Parolin.

He addressed to more than 25,000 young adults at the 36th annual European encounter of the Taizé community, a key pilgrimage for seekers of Christian unity.

Archbishop Parolin spoke of the region where the meeting is taking place close to the German-France border as “a land lacerated by wars, which had innumerable victims, but a land that also brings great hope, that of the building of the European family.” http://www.ecumenicalnews.com/article/thousands-of-young-christians-meet-on-french-german-border-for-unity-pilgrimage-22652

Notice that a “European family” is the Archbishop’s specific hope (though they are interested in others as well),

Of course, President Obama and Pope Francis (and their more immediate followers) are not the only ones promoting an ecumenical agenda. Ecumenical News reported the following:

Lisbon’s (Anglican) Lusitanian Church Cathedral of St. Paul has hosted a ceremony marking the mutual recognition of baptism among Christian faith traditions in mainly Roman Catholic Portugal. http://www.ecumenicalnews.com/article/portugal-churches-officially-recognize-each-others-baptism-22716

Considering that the Anglicans and Roman Catholics each basically declared that the other no longer had ecclesiastical authority a long while ago, this is a shift. But what has now happened is consistent with various pronouncements from the Anglicans and Vatican, and is another ecumenical step.

Major ecumenical unity will occur in Europe. Some steps have already been taken, and bigger steps will happen in the future. While many push this agenda, the Bible shows that while it will be fairly successful (Revelation 13:1-4,8), it should not be something that Christians are part of (Revelation 14:12, Revelation 18:4). And that God will eliminate it around when Jesus returns (cf. Revelation 11:15).

Some Doctrines of Antichrist Are there any doctrines taught outside the Churches of God which can be considered as doctrines of antichrist? This article suggests at least three.

Could Pope Francis be the Last Pope and Antichrist? According to some interpretations of the prophecies of the popes by the Catholic saint and Bishop Malachy, Pope Francis I is in the position of “Peter the Roman,” the pontiff who reigns during tribulations until around the time of the destruction of Rome. Do biblical prophecies warn of someone that sounds like Peter the Roman? Could Francis I be the heretical antipope of Catholic private prophecies and the final Antichrist of Bible prophecy? This is a YouTube video.
The Malachy Prophecies and “Peter the Roman” An Irish bishop allegedly predicted something about 112 popes in the 12th century. Pope Benedict XVI was number 111. Francis would seem to be number 112–if he is that one–and if so, he is to reign until Rome is destroyed. May he be an antipope/final Antichrist?
