Rome’s New World Disorder

Editorial | Advent Messenger

A storm is approaching and few seem to notice. Rome is putting forth its best public relations effort to seduce the world and to bring everyone to “Rome Sweet Home.”

Pope Francis has been dominating both the political and religious spotlight for international affairs. National Public Radio [NPR] recently ran an article which appeared on March 13, 2015 entitled "Pope Francis Very Popular Among Both U.S. Catholics, Non-Catholics."

The article says: "Pope Francis has maintained high approval ratings even as the Catholic Church struggles with declining membership and the effects of the sexual abuse scandal. In six months, he will make an anticipated visit to the U.S."

 Can we see how the political climate is shifting towards Rome? Is it not evident that the Pope holds tremendous power and political clout over the kings of the earth? What do you suppose will happen when the beast power of Revelation 13 begins to demand that the world implement a National Sunday Law as a sign of loyalty? Could this be on the agenda for Pope Frances when he visits America and addresses our U.S. Congress later this year?

      

 It is only a matter of time before our earth is thrust into the closing scenes of history. God is not waiting for the world to become more wicked, He is waiting on His faithful people to finish the work that He has entrusted to us. Friends, we have a duty to perform! 

      

“While the Protestant world is by her attitude making concessions to Rome, let us arouse to comprehend the situation and view the contest before us in its true bearings. Let the watchmen now lift up their voice and give the message which is present truth for this time. Let us show the people where we are in prophetic history and seek to arouse the spirit of true Protestantism, awaking the world to a sense of the value of the privileges of religious liberty so long enjoyed (Testimonies, vol. 5, p. 716).
