The One World Religion of the Tribulation.

I often wondered what the One World Religion of the Revelations will consist of and the origins. Will it be of Eastern Philosophy, Islamic, Humanism(Even that's not really an official religion), Pagan, etc. None of these really seem to fit according to scripture. One that seems to be the most applicable would be a distorted form of Christianity. The unholy trinity, The rule of one leader(The Beast/Christ's Millennium Kingdom), the False Prophet(His Apostle), the resurrection(Satan incarnate), the Mark( God's seal). Now this all speculative on my part.

The reason I contemplated this was due to watching some videos and reading of a specific Church that has wide spread influence via their Music Ministry. Of course I am talking about Bethel Church. Why is this Charismatic Church so different from others, simply put its their doctrine and teaching on " Dominionism" and the Churches close ties with Lance Wallnau( 7 Mountains Ministry). The core of the doctrine is essentially to covert all nations into a supposed Christian Theocracy by Political means.

This particular Church has a congregation of about 9,000 and is heavily involved in church planting. The teachings of this Church's views on Jesus, salvation, the Holy Spirit, are not of Biblical truths. The influence they have on younger people is truly astonishing. They don't know the Jesus of the Gospel. This is one reason I could see the world religion of the tribulation being linked to a heretical form of Christianity. Again, this just my speculation.

Thoughts, opinions, criticism.

My view.....two key phrases of Daniel point clearly to the religion of the beast. This can be easily deduced from those two phrases....along with this we can add what is taking place in the religious world and then deduce by the 2nd beast of Revelation which has two horns, one higher than than the other to determine the religion of the 2nd beast which embraces, honours and worships the GOD of the 1st beast.....

Neither shall he regard the GOD of his fathers <---Capital G

Thus shall he do in the fortresses with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge, scrutinise, increase with glory <---Small g

I can glean the following truths from the above....

a. He will be tied to Abraham based upon the term FATHERS and use of the capital G
b. He will acknowledge a strange god that was not KNOWN to Abraham and when Daniel was penned
c. The ONLY FATHERS identified as worshipping the true GOD would have been Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob (will explain Ishmael)

Ishmael would have been indoctrinated by Abraham concerning the one true GOD of heaven, Ishmael, even though rejected by GOD for the purpose of the inheritance through Isaac honoured Abraham's request and blessed Ishmael with 12 sons and and made many nations of him.

So let's deduce.....

The beast will not have respect unto the GOD (capital G) of his FATHERS (ABRAHAM and ISHMAEL)

YET, he will scrutinise, acknowledge and worship/increase a strange god (small g) not KNOWN to his fathers......

We know the GOD of ABRAHAM, ISAAC and JACOB (Israel) is the one true GOD and was KNOWN, so it has to be a different lineage and a god NOT KNOWN....

MY view....the god not known at the time, which is NOW worshipped by the descendants of Abraham. Ishmael is ALLAH......

I believe the religion of the beast will be Islam and the false god Allah (Satan)

Now to the second beast.....(false prophet)

I believe it is the final Pope of a reunified Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox religion with the higher horn representing Western Roman Catholicism and the smaller horn representing the Eastern Branch of Catholicism.

NOTE.....The last three POPES have BOWED to and KISSED the KORAN and the current POPE is attempting to reunite the western branch with the eastern branch while also attempting to UNIFY all of Christianity under one banner.......

God will delude the world, they will receive the beast as GOD when he starts doing miracles, signs and wonders which the CATHOLIC church places much stock IN....

I used to believe the Roman pope would be the anti-Christ of Revelation....I no longer believe that based upon the above and study of History....Satan has been attempting to bring this about from day one, but it has been hindered by GOD due to TIME......the ancient gods worshipped --->Horus, Bel, Marduke, Merodach, Jupiter, Zeus etc. were all real entities (SATAN) and it culminates in the end in Allah......

Revelation and what JESUS states tells me the above bolded truth....He told the church at Pergamos that they were dwelling where Satan's seat was located.....the throne of Zeus was located in Pergamos.......Zeus was real...he was SATAN being worshipped by man as a god!

Daniel 11:37
He will come out of Islam but will demand to be worshiped as god.
His religion will be all about himself.

He holds himself up as God himself. considering He ma
considering he makes peace, I think he is a world leader who embraces all religions, that after 3.5 years, he sets himself up as God and demands everyone, no matter what religion you are worship him

I disagree on him making peace for 7 years. That belief is based on only one verse that is misunderstood.
The day he is known ( when he stands up after taking a head wound) all hell will break loose and continue for 1290 days until Jesus returns and cast him into the pit.

One pastor I know believes the one world religion will be based on reincarnation. This leaves a personal God out of the picture, is self-centered, and cheapens life. It makes executing those who refuse the mark of the beast more palatable; they will just be reincarnated.

There will be no 3.5 years of peace. As I said before, that belief is based on a misunderstanding of one verse of Scripture.
I think we have discussed this in the past so we will just have to agree to disagree.

There is an interesting concept that gets swept under the rug or overlooked....

The beast.....

That WAS <---Past tense when Revelation penned
And NOW is Not <---Present tense wen Revelation penned
AND SHALL ASCEND out of the PIT and GO INTO Destruction <---Future Tense when revelation penned

We cannot alleviate that GOD will DELUDE everyone that does NOT receive the LOVE of the TRUTH.....the world en masse WILL receive this guy as GOD based upon the delusion given by GOD

He never tries to bring the world together. His whole intent is to destroy Israel and when God stops him , he will turn is wrath toward the saints.

We may all know for certain who is correct very soon in my opinion.

Fully agree......the false prophet will do said signs and wonders in the sight of the beast...and the FALSE prophet makes the image and gives LIFE unto the image.....another sign and wonder

I agree

if Israel would stop looking to a roman fort as their Temple Mount, they could start building the temple tomorrow.

either way, the fact their is a Jewish temple even in the vicinity of a Muslim holy site and there is no way, proves there is peace.

I could be wrong, but have believed for some time that the temple would be more along the lines of the original tabernacle built by Moses because they have the actual blue prints in the Law for it....

Don't believe they will build another temple.
I would love to explain why I believe the way I do, but it is not possible on this site. Not enough time.
I am quickly loosing my sight and it is very difficult to see this PC's screen and type.

Time to go.

Not that I am political(my king is continuous) but have you looked into any of the candidates religious views?
