One World Religion comes: Founder of Liberation Theology hailed at Vatican
The founder of liberation theology, the Latin American-inspired Catholic theology advocating for the poor, received a hero's welcome Tuesday at the Vatican as the once-criticized movement continues its rehabilitation under Pope Francis.

One World Religion Alert: Pope to Copeland - Catholics and Charismatics must spiritually unite

We are galloping toward a one-world melding of religions, and the ramifications are staggering. Pope Francis has now sent a video message to Word of Faith father Kenneth Copeland, urging a reconciliation between Catholics and Charismatics.

“The Catholic and Charismatic Renewal is the hope of the Church,” exclaims Anglican Episcopal Bishop Tony Palmer, before a group of cheering followers at the Kenneth Copeland Ministries.   Palmer said those words are from the Vatican. Before playing the video message from Pope Francis to Kenneth Copeland, Palmer told the crowd,  “When my wife saw that she could be Catholic, and Charismatic, and Evangelical, and Pentecostal, and it was absolutely accepted in the Catholic Church, she said that she would like to reconnect her roots with the Catholic culture. So she did.”

The crowd cheered, as he continued, “Brothers and sisters, Luther’s protest is over. Is yours?”

Even Kenneth Copeland finds this development incredible: Said Copeland, “Heaven is thrilled over this…You know what is so thrilling to me? When we went into the ministry 47 years ago, this was impossible.”

How can this impossibility be? Could the ears of those once aware of the evils of ecumenicism suddenly be sealing shut? What is even more gobsmackingly painful is the reaction from evangelicals, who seem quite thrilled with this unholy alliance.

Pope Francis “And let us pray to the Lord that He unites us all. Come on, we are brothers. Let’s give each other a spiritual hug and let God complete the work that he has begun. And this is a miracle; the miracle of unity has begun.”...see videos and transcripts here: http://standupforthetruth.com/2014/02/pope-to-copeland-catholics-and-charismatics-must-spiritually-unite/

RAVI ZACHARIAS: MORMONS AND EVANGELICALS TOGETHER (Friday Church News Notes, February 14, 2014, Way of Life Literature) - For the second time, Ravi Zacharias has spoken at the Mormon Temple in Utah to call for evangelicals and Mormons to stand together to save America from "lost morality." The two-day "Freedom and Friendship" meeting in January was attended by 3,500 "evangelicals" and Mormons ("Popular Christian Apologist," The Christian Post, Jan. 20, 2014). In his speech, Zacharias condemned "pragmatic philosophy," but that is exactly what he is pursuing in calling for unity between Bible believing Christians and Mormons with their false gospel and false christ. The Word of God forbids such a union (e.g., Romans 16:17-18; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; 11:1-4; 2 Timothy 3:5; 2 John 7-11). The conference was sponsored by Standing Together, "a coalition of evangelical churches who seek to be a catalyst for uniting the Utah Christian community through relational efforts of prayer, worship, and strategic evangelism." Standing Together President Gregory Johnson told audience members, "Tonight is another night for us to meet, not as warring factions, but as friends." Zacharias was introduced by Jeffrey Holland, former president of Brigham Young University, who said that the thing that brings Mormons and Christians together is their "shared love for the Lord Jesus Christ." Zacharias spoke at the first Standing Together conference at the Mormon Tabernacle in 2004.

Another movement gaining popularity is CHRISLAM, a merging of Christian and Islamic theologies.

This quote is taken from the website Chrislam.org..."We are brothers, We are a family of God. Not one of us is better than the other in His eyes. He loves us both. The future can only be won against the "Evil one" by all of us standing strong together." ~ Malcom X

Rev. Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest and one of America’s most influential Christian leaders, has embarked on an effort to heal divisions between evangelical Christians and Muslims by partnering with Southern California mosques and proposing a set of theological principles that includes acknowledging that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. http://www.exposingchrislam.com/

The “Coexist” Movement and Delusion - everywhere you look and especially on college campuses, an odd-phrased bumper sticker with religious symbols spelling “COEXIST” can be seen. This phrase contains the spiritual ideologies of the major world religions...Every letter in the “COEXIST” phrase has a symbol representing a religious system or spiritual ideology: “C” for the crescent and star (representing Islam); “O” being dotted with the Karma Wheel (Buddhism) “E” as energy in the relativity equation (Science); “X” illustrating the star of David (Judaism); the “I” representing the pentagram (Wicca/Pagan); “S” for the Tao symbol; and “T” for the cross for Christianity...their main goal and real agenda is to rid the world of all religious ideologies in favor of a secular, godless one.

In the midst of a secular, “pluralistic universalism” global movement (as can be clearly seen in the above articles) which will soon engulf the entire world, DO NOT BE DECEIVED!! ...Jesus said, “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Matthew 7:13..."Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" John 14:6... "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" Acts 4:12

“But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.” 2 Peter 2:1... “Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.” 1 Corinthians 16:13

"Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near." 
Luke 21:28

The Obama administration's soft approach to Iran's nuclear program may have done more than simply making a conventional strike more likely...President Obama has had a constant refrain when it comes to Iran - "I'm keeping all options on the table".

The likelihood of President Obama using any kind of military force against Iran is extremely slim. It has become even less likely now that an "interim agreement" which many consider on both sides of the aisle to be a sham has been signed.

Israeli leaders, however, have made it perfectly clear that they will not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear bomb. The Israeli efforts have been stymied by President Obama who has refused to send Israel vital Bunker Buster Bombs. The Iranians have hardened their nuclear facilities anticipating a military strike making the situation more complex and challenging.

In military circles both inside an outside of Israel the price of a military strike on Iran has been debated. Some have warned that the retaliation by Iran's proxies in Hezbollah and Hamas will be too high a price to pay. Hezbollah now has more sophisticated missiles than heretofore that can reach Tel Aviv. These factors have delayed an Israeli attack thus far.

Israel's back is, however, soon to be against the proverbial "wall". No nation has the patience of Israel. No nation wants Peace more than Israel. And no nation when it comes to its back being pushed against the wall will more likely strike than Israel. This is how it has been able to survive.

The President by signing an interim agreement that is at best a "bad agreement" and at worst a total capitulation to the Mullahs has boxed Israel into a tight corner.

Senator Ted Cruz of Texas said point blank on Feb. 6th at the EMPact America Conference held at the Reserve Officers Association in Washington D.C. that this agreement has increased the chances of a military strike against Iran. Now comes the big question. If a conventional military strike cannot destroy the embedded Iranian Nuclear reactors and stockpile, especially since Israel does not have the necessary Bunker Busters to do the job, will Israel then go to the nuclear option?

Had the President given Israel the Bunker Busters and the necessary assurances that it needs to defend itself against a prolonged conflict and retaliation by Hezbollah, I would not be raising the dreaded spectre of a nuclear attack against Iran. However, given the current existential nature to the Iranian threat, the likelihood of a nuclear strike by Israel on Iran's nuclear facilities has increased immensely.

Let us all hope that the President will reverse course and provide Israel with everything it needs for a conventional strike on Iran. Otherwise, barring a revolution in Iran, Israel will have no other option but to use its nuclear arsenal.

...http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/14537#.UwSwRSjOXfh...This certainly has the makings of the military START of what will now fulfill multiple Biblical prophecies in rapid succession (Jeremiah 49, Isaiah 17, Isaiah 19, Psalm 83, Zechariah 12,  (then a break where Israel is living for a time in Peace and safety, without walls or gates, then the War of Gog & Magog Ezekiel 38 & 39, which then all tribulation wars will culminate at the end of the Tribulation in the final Battle of Armageddon Revelation 16:16, Revelation 19:11-21, Joel 3: 1-17).  I believe some of these wars (likely Jeremiah 49, Isaiah 17 and maybe Psalm 83) could occur pre-rapture and the rest likely in the “Gap” or "Pre-Trib Preparation" period or early in the Tribulation period (except for Armageddon).  Since the Rapture is not the triggering event for the start of the Tribulation (Daniel 9:27 triggers the 7-year tribulation period) many prophecy students believe a certain amount of time (the Gap) exists between the Rapture and the formal 7-year Tribulation period beginning (Daniel 9:27).  For further study on this “Gap” period see the following links:

and http://www.bereaninternetministry.or...tic%20Gaps.doc

and http://lamblion.com/files/publicatio...apture-Gap.pdf

So the question is, with the likelihood of an imminent attack on Iran (Jeremiah 49) by Israel, how close are we to the Rapture of the Church?  "Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near." Luke 21:28

Is There a Second Chance at Salvation? (2 Thess. 2:1-12)

By Bill Salus ~ Are you a believer that expects the Rapture of the Christian Church to occur at any moment? If so, are you concerned that a loved one may get left behind and be cast into the perilous seven-year Tribulation Period? Are you seizing every opportunity to present the gospel to that person, but your sincere efforts seem to be falling on a hard heart, deaf ear, or a blind eye? Or, maybe you realize that loved one is so close to making a decision for Christ that they just need a little more time to make their final decision...Did you know that some Bible prophecy experts teach that once the Rapture occurs all of your loving efforts have gone for naught...These teach that 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 declares that your left behind loved one gets handed over to strong delusion because they loved not the truth about Jesus Christ. They think that those left behind after hearing the gospel without receiving Christ may as well get in the front of the line to receive the “mark of the beast,” because they missed their opportunity to get saved. In their estimation the Rapture represents the point of no return for someone that rejects the gospel after hearing it before the Rapture occurs...This teaching implies that the multitudes worldwide that are getting saved in Revelation chapter 7 and elsewhere after the Rapture, are the ones that were never exposed to the gospel before the Rapture...While teaching at a prophecy conference at Zion Hill Christian Fellowship in Louisiana in 2013 with Al Gist, I heard brother Al Gist of Maranatha Evangelistic Ministries deliver a brilliant message on this subject. I was so impressed with his down to earth teaching on this topic that I had to get it on the Prophecy Update Radio program for our listeners to hear...Linked Below is the radio broadcast where Al Gist and I discuss this topic...For the record I agree with brother Al Gist on this matter and I am convinced that your loved one does have a second chance to get to receive Christ. So don’t panic, but keep on preaching the gospel and look up for our redemption draws near...http://www.prophecydepotministries.net/2014/second-shot-salvation-2-thess-21-12/

...If you do not have the time to listen to both parts (30 minutes each), the meat of this excellent exegesis of 2 Thessalonians 2:1-2 is in PART TWO (well worth your time).  After listening, I am also in agreement that there is a second chance at Salvation during the tribulation...HOWEVER, there are many VERY good reasons NOT to wait...

1.  There is no guarantee you will not be one who is caught up in sudden destruction 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3...many students of prophecy feel a good argument exists for a simultaneous Rapture and sudden destruction event.  I would be even more concerned about this parallel event for those living in the U.S....both the Rapture and destruction event are the most probable reasons the Bible is silent concerning America in end-time events.

2.  There is no guarantee you will live another day James 4:14, and NO opportunity exists for anyone after death.

3.  If you won’t accept Christ in the age of Grace, its unlikely you will in the Tribulation when you are almost guaranteed to be persecuted unto death Revelation 13:15...and many believe the most widely used method of execution will be the return of the guillotine.

4.  Those who accept Christ in the Tribulation (Saints and Martyrs of the Tribulation Period) will miss the Marriage Supper of the lamb (which is taking place during the seven year Tribulation)...According to Revelation 20:4 Tribulation martyrs will be resurrected at the time of the 2nd Coming.  However, Revelation 20:5 says this is still considered to be the first resurrection...it began with the Lord, will continue with the resurrection of believers at the time of the Rapture, and will conclude with the Tribulation Martyrs...see a good study on this here https://www.thebereancall.org/content/october-1994-q-and-a-2.

For these reasons and a host of others, the Bible gives us the admonition ”Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” 2 Corinthians 6:2b

Jerusalem and the Lost Temple of the Jews

Ken Klein Productions has just released a critically important new documentary film titled "Jerusalem and the Lost Temple of the Jews" - a breakthrough film which is perched to cause a major sea change in Middle East hostilities, and has profound ramifications concerning the fulfillment of critical end time prophecy, leading to the soon Rapture of the Church.

On almost a daily basis now we read of the continued tensions in the epicenter surrounding the Temple Mount.  Last month the Times of Israel published an article titled "Tension at Temple Mount is Escalating Week by Week" (www.timesofisrael.com/tension-at-temple-mount-is-escalating-week-by-week/) The Temple Mount, or Haram a-Sharif has always been a source of conflict and contention between Israel and the Palestinians.  Violence continues to erupt there, with the most infamous recent incident occurring on September 28-29, 2000 when then PM Ariel Sharon visited the Temple Mount, which caused the Second Intifada (known as the Al-Aqsa Intifada).  A major storm is on the horizon as the PLO headed by Mahmoud Abbas and his supporters have come out supporting a “third intifada” and are calling for a war against Israel in the midst of peace talks - the Temple Mount being one of the major items on the negotiating table in the current Obama/Kerry Peace initiative...on this point see Joel Rosenberg’s latest articles The White House is trying to impose a Mideast peace deal. Here’s what you need to know. and Are the rumors true? Is Netanyahu about to make “painful concessions” in the peace process? Here’s what we know.

Adding to the tension, the Jewish people have long sought to rebuild their temple on the supposed Temple Mount complex. Yet, they are unable to do so, because residing on that hallowed ground sits the Muslim’s Dome of the Rock shrine. Consequently, the angst created by the monumental impasse has spread to the entire Middle East (epicenter) and is affecting the entire world.

Ken Klein has now completed, what I believe to be providential research, which includes archeological discoveries, eyewitness account, expert witnesses, and historical writing, which combined, present a clear picture and perhaps an answer to the untenable situation.  What if their is solid evidence proving the entire temple mount was actually the Roman fortress Antonia and that the first and second Jewish Temple is actually located close by, but not on the current Temple mount - A GAME CHANGER for sure, which would have a profound impact on the entire Middle East, and if acted on by the Jews (building the temple now on a different location - the God ordained location), is one of the very last pieces of prophecy to be fulfilled as Christ returns for the Church!!

Ken and I have been talking and are praying together that the message of this documentary be embraced by not only the believing church, but the Jews as well, as they are getting ready to re-build the third temple - "Minister Calls for Third Temple to be Built" (www.timesofisrael.com/minister-calls-for-third-temple-to-be-built/)

Please see a couple short trailers here: http://watchmansview.com/Resources.html ...I know you will be as blessed and challenged as I was.   Join with me in keeping Ken and this film in your prayers, as he needs to get this word and evidence out to the Christian community, in the right venues, with the ultimate goal of getting this to The Temple Institute (http://www.templeinstitute.org/) who are currently preparing to build the third temple...this connection needs to be through someone who has the right influence and credibility with them, to challenge them with these new documented facts. 

I think you will agree after reviewing the entire film, that this information reminds one of the story of Esther "For if you [we] remain completely silent at this time [having this providential information], relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place [they are currently trying to rebuild the 3rd Temple in the wrong location!], but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you [we have been provided this information and] have come [together to make this information known] to the kingdom [Israel] for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14.  I believe Ken has been given this information by the God of Abraham for these times (last days) we are in FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS, to be used to refocus the building of the third temple in its rightful (God ordained) place, fulfilling critical end time prophecy leading to the soon Rapture of the Church!  MARANATHA! 

If you have a direct relationship with those in the Christian community and/or media that you believe could help Ken get the word out with this film, please send me a note at Watchman@WatchmansView.com so I can help Ken followup ...see Video Trailers Here  ~ A Watchman
