Part 8 of 11: The Coming One-World Religion

Equipping God's Saints (Followers of Christ) through the Prophecies of the End Times …

In 1993 at the Parliament of the World's Religions held in Chicago, on the 100^th anniversary of the first Parliament of the World's Religions, Catholics, Protestants, Hindus, Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, Astorians, Wiccans (Witches), Indigenous people and many others were in attendance.

The 1993 Parliament of the World's Religions adopted a global ethic which was authored by eminent Catholic theologian, Hans Kung. A global ethic is a global belief statement. The essence of the global ethic can be captured in three quotes from the document:

1. “We affirm that a common set of cores values is founded in the teachings of the religions, and that these form the basis of a global ethic that all religions can agree upon.”
2. “There already exist ancient guidelines for human behavior which are found in the teachings of the religions of the world and which are the condition for a sustainable world order.”
3. “We must sink our narrow differences for the cause of the world community, practicing a culture of solidarity and relatedness.”

“Narrow differences” such as was Jesus God or was He not? Was He the Messiah, or was He not? Was He crucified on the cross or was He not? - OR – Is Allah God, or is Jehovah God, or is Brahma God?

“Narrow differences” is what they said in the global ethic. “We must sink those narrow differences” for the cause of the world community; for the cause of the one-world government. This is the thinking that drives interfaithism.

In 1994, the first new Roman Catholic Catechism was published. It is interesting what it says about the relationship of the Catholic Church to the Muslims. In item #841, under the Church's relationship with the Muslims, it states, “The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims. These profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day.”

Does the Catholic Catechism say the plan of salvation also includes, in the first place, the Muslims just because they claim to worship the God of Abraham as we do? Yes, that is what it is saying. Another huge leap into interfaithism.

Mr. Robert Muller was an Assistant Secretary General to three Secretary Generals at the United Nations. He worked at the UN for 38 years. In an interview on the Endtime radio program, Politics & Religion, he stated, “We have brought the world together as far as we can, politically.” He openly advocated a one-world government. He said, “We're stuck. We can't go any further.” He continued to say, “To bring about true world government, the world must be brought together spiritually. What we need is a United Nations of Religions. The political leaders meet everyday at the United Nations; they talk together. But the religious leaders won't meet together. They won't even talk to one another most of the time. We need a United Nations of Religions.”

A couple of years later, an announcement was made that an ecumenical service of political leaders and religious leaders would be held in San Francisco to help celebrate the 50^th anniversary of the signing of the UN Charter.

It was June 26, 1995 and hosted by Bishop William Swing of Grace Episcopal Church in San Francisco at the request of the UN. People attending were UN Secretary General Buttress Buttress-Ghali, Princess Margaret of Great Britain, Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, President Lech Walesa of Poland and many other international dignitaries.

After this ecumenical meeting, Bishop Swing, who was in charge, decided out of that service that he should investigate the possibility of establishing a United Religions Organization, or a United Nations of Religions. He traveled during 1996 and visited such people as Pope John Paul II, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Dalai Lama, Mother Theresa... Coming back from those meetings, he reported that the reception was overwhelming to the idea.

Consequently, in 1997, Reverend Swing decided to hold the first charter writing conference for the United Religions Organization. Then in 1998, he held the second charter writing conference. At these conferences there were Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Hindus, indigenous people, Wiccans ... they were all there.

Finally he finished the charter by the year 2000. They were going to have a huge charter signing conference in Pittsburgh, PA. At the meeting, a call came from the United Nations. The call from the United Nations congratulated the United Religions on its accomplishment.

A Hindu lady was praying there. The Hindu lady who was praying was sitting in the Lotus position on the stool. After she had been praying a while, suddenly she said, “Ohm.” Then there was an echo from the congregation, “Ohm.” Then she said it louder, “Ohem.” And the refrain came back louder. Before long, the whole place was “Ohming”. This was the middle of an ecumenical prayer service. Finally the service concluded by the Jewish blowing of the Shofar. It was an amazing event.

Next, we will discover what the Bible says about the success or failure of interfaithism. We have already seen from the prophecies there will be one-world Religion. Now, we're going to find out what it's going to look like.
