The world is talking about the new Catholic Pope from the United States. All the news media are talking about it and seems to be fixated on how great this is, even though they know nothing about Biblical things and really care less. The church world is awed with what is taking place. Why is the world so enamored with this?
This is a world power politically and religiously to the above, it represents Christianity worldwide, whether Catholic or Protestant. All church systems, denominational spirited “Christians” are born into this world Church system whether they realize it or not. They are daughters to their church mother (Revelation 17:5).
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO US?
What does this mean to those of us that live independent of that church system, with Christ only as the head of the church and not man?
We know this as the last great gentile power, Rome. She will endure to the end according to Daniels prophecy and be destroyed by a greater kingdom that will rule in righteousness (Daniel 2:40-45). We understand that in Revelation 13:11 there is a Bible prophecy concerning the United States of America, as a power out of the earth, a nation that would look like a lamb with two horns political and religious.This nation would begin with religious freedom. However, in the end it would speak like the dragon, and exercise all the power of the first beast before it. This would be the world church system (Rome) riding on the power of Satan the beast.
This nation would make an image to the beast (denominationalism), it will be a uniting of religious and political power and would control commerce, what we buy or sell by a forcing of the “mark of the beast.” This mark would be excepting the one-man leadership of the Pope and his doctrine which is the person of the antichrist. The nominal Christian church will look at it as a great spiritual happening to secure spiritual safety and unity. The world will fall for Satan’s deception thinking it to be of God.
A VINDICATED PROPHET
We have had a vindicated prophet (William M. Branham) according to end-time Bible prophecy (Malachi 4:5-6, Revelation 10:7) to spiritually see the fulfillment of this Bible prophecy as a Pope coming out of the United States leading the world to ruin. This was not a personal prophecy of William Branham, but the interpretation of the scripture that he could understand with his prophetic eye.
Do not get side-tracked on numbers, dates, names and so forth. We have been everything we need as the Bride of Christ to understand these end-time events.
We now have a President (Donald Trump) in this country that is focusing on international trade and commerce. There is now a new Pope from the United States fulfilling Bible prophesy (Revelation 13:11-18).
THE BRIDE OF CHRIST SHOULD KNOW
Where should the Bride of Christ be in all of this? The world is now uniting under one head, the Pope. The true Church of Jesus Christ is uniting under Christ the Word. These things should drive the true Church of God together, the real true believers being cemented together by the love of God, she will find that honey of brotherly kindness that brings the headstone. We will unite for the going home, the resurrection and the change of the living saints.
