Thoughts on a One World Religion

The Bible talks about planet Earth having a One World Religion in the end times.

In order for this to happen, everyone around the world, all the major religions, will have to get with the program -- or at least play nice with each other.

I don’t see a problem with most religions. The hierarchy of the Catholic Church is already positioning itself for just such a scenario by showing that they’re wiling to work with those of other faiths (except, of course Protestants whose Reformation they can never forgive). Mary, the mother of Christ, will probably be key in this as witnessed by the many sightings of “the blessed Virgin Mary” around the world. The Hindus who have a multitude of gods and the Buddhists who don’t have a god at all will have no trouble with a one world religion. New Agers, secular humanists, and atheists have nothing to lose and will easily fall in line.

The two main groups who won’t go along with this are the Evangelical Christians (those who truly follow the Bible, not the wishy-washy modern Christians willing to compromise to the point of saying there are many ways to get to heaven) and the Muslims.

The Rapture will take care of the Christians. It will probably be readily explained by the New Agers as a massive, but much needed planetary cleansing. How else can the world be rid of those reactionary, intolerant, uncompromising Christians who refused to get along and were thus hindering the dawning of the Age of Aquarius (or whatever the term will be for what they consider the next stage of mankind’s evolution).

As for the Muslims, I think Ezekiel 38 and 39 might provide the answer. According to these chapters, Russia, Turkey, Iran, and other Muslim countries come to attack a peaceful Israel who’s minding her own business and dwelling in the land without walls, bars, or gates. The Bible then tells us what will happen in Ezekiel 39:2 “And I will turn you back, and leave but the sixth part of you.” In other words, God destroys five-sixths of this attacking army.

Not only that, but in the process, God also provides victorious Israel with fuel for seven years from their attackers’ leftover (nuclear) weapons. “And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years: So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them.” (Ezekiel 39: 9-10)

This foolish attack on Israel will likely finish off the Muslims as far as them being a major threat to the world or to a one world religion. Those Muslims who are left can easily find a home with the Catholic Church which has already made overtures to Islam as evidenced by that well-known photo of the pope kissing the Koran.

This is just one of many possible scenarios that could pave the way for a One World Religion.
