India & Pakistan Lack Trust, But…
India and Pakistan are resuming peace talks:
India, Pakistan, Lack Trust in Their Relations, Gilani Says
By Jay Shankar
July 19 (Bloomberg) — India and Pakistan lack trust in their relations, so talks are the only way forward in improving ties between the nuclear-armed South Asian rivals, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said.
“At present we have some trust deficit,” Gilani said late yesterday in the capital, Islamabad, after having met with his Indian counterpart, Manmohan Singh, in Egypt on June 16, according to the official Associated Press of Pakistan. “If we have more interactions like these, then it will be taken care of.”
Five years of peace talks stalled after India blamed Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba for last year’s terrorist attack on Mumbai that killed 166 people, including six Americans. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in India to showcase trade and security ties and seek common ground on climate change and arms control, yesterday condemned the terrorists.
Gilani said relations between the two countries have remained shaky for 60 years. “When trust-building starts, then we can say we are not threatened,” he said, according to APP.
India will start peace talks when Pakistan upholds pledges not to allow terrorist activity on its soil, Singh told parliament on July 17.
The prime ministers “agreed that the two countries will share real-time, credible and actionable information on any future terrorist threats,” according to the joint statement issued June 16. They said their foreign secretaries should meet “as often as necessary.”
India presented evidence on the Mumbai attack to Pakistan in January. The government in Islamabad acknowledged the attacks were planned on its soil and said it had made some arrests. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601091&sid=a2KDs9w_m4zs
While there is still a lack of trust between them, both nations share a common ancestry and share certain common cultural customs. And they often will take similar actions.
Both biblical and Catholic prophecies suggest that most of those in India and Pakistan will temporarily support the future ecumenical religion that the coming European Beast power will advocate. Notice those from Catholic mystics and leaders:
St. Bridget (14th century): Before Antichrist comes, the portals of Faith will be opened to great numbers of pagans (Birch, DA. Trial, Tribulation & Triumph: Before During and After Antichrist. Queenship Publishing Company, Goleta (CA), 1996, p. 449)
Venerable Magdalene Porzat (died 1850) (Great Monarch)…shall…restore to their dominions the legitimate kings. A just and pious man born in Galacia shall be the Supreme Pontiff: then the whole world will be united and prosperous. One faith only and one emperor shall reign over the whole earth (Connor, Edward. Prophecy for Today. Imprimatur + A.J. Willinger, Bishop of Monterey-Fresno; Reprint: Tan Books and Publishers, Rockford (IL), 1984, p. 38).
Cardinal La Roque (c. 18th century): A regeneration of Faith will appear in Asia (R. Gerald Culleton. The Prophets and Our Times. Nihil Obstat: L. Arvin. Imprimatur: Philip G. Scher, Bishop of Monterey-Fresno, November 15, 1941. Reprint 1974, TAN Books, Rockford (IL), p. 193).
Elizabeth Canori-Mora (died 1825):…Such is the glorious triumph reserved for the Catholic Church; she shall be praised, honored and esteemed by all men. All men shall become Catholics, and shall acknowledge the Pope as Vicar of Jesus Christ.” (Connor, p.24).
Alphonse Eppinger (1867): “After God has purified the world faith and peace will return. Whole nations will adhere to the teachings of the Catholic Church.” (Connor, p.25)
Pope Leo XIII (1893): The Orient, courageously and successfully explored by the Portuguese, is coveted by many today for its lucrative trade. We, however, have a more noble purpose in mind…To take care, therefore, of the preservation and propagation of the Catholic religion among the Hindus, a Hindu clergy has to be formed that could administer the sacraments and govern the Christian people properly, no matter how menacing the times…Be sure that the role of Christianity in such remote regions becomes well known. Make your people understand that something must be done for the Hindus (AD EXTREMAS ON SEMINARIES FOR NATIVE CLERGY. Encyclical of Pope Leo XIII promulgated on June 24, 1893. http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/leo_xiii/encyclicals/documents/hf_l-xiii_enc_24061893_ad-extremas_en.html viewed 07/19/09).
But this acceptance of the “Catholic” leaders will not last by those of Indian heritage will not last.
Perhaps I should mention that even many Catholic writers have warned that one that they call an “antipope” will lead a changed church calling itself “Catholic” that will be an ecumenical world religion that many all over the world will follow, but should not follow (see also Catholic Prophecies: Do They Mirror, Highlight, or Contradict Biblical Prophecies?)–but many will still follow this false power for a while.
The Bible teaches:
3b And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast (Revelation 13:3-4).
However this worship of the coming beast power will not last. According to the Bible, those from India and Pakistan will likely rebel. Even some Catholic writings seem to support that:
Countess Francesca de Brillante (20th Century). “I see yellow warriors and red warriors marching against Europe. Europe will be completely covered with a yellow fog that will kill the cattle in the fields. Those nations that rebelled against the law of Christ will perish by fire. Europe will then be too large for them who survive (Dupont, Yves. Catholic Prophecy: The Coming Chastisement. TAN Books, Rockford (IL), 1973, p. 78).
Nostradamus (16th century): Meanwhile the great Asiatic Empire will spread across the sea and continents to destroy the Christian world (Culleton, p. 168).
It seems likely that to fulfill Daniel 11:44 and Revelation 16:12, that India and probably Pakistan will actually cooperate militarily against the future European Beast power.
However, war is not their ultimate destiny.
The ultimate destiny for those in India and Pakistan will be to be called into the kingdom of God.
Yes, the God of love will ultimately save nearly all from India and Pakistan.
