If you have read my teaching called " Mystery Babylon" then you realize that I believe that the Catholic Church will be the Harlot of Revelation 17: 1. This is probably a harsh statement to make concerning any Christian group of people but I truly believe that it is the truth. I would like to say this before we get started that I am not against the Catholic Church and I am not a Catholic hater. This is not what this article is about. The Bible tells us that in the last days that many Christians would fall away from the truth running after false teachings, heaping to themselves teachers having itching ears. In our day the Protestant Church is horribly guilty of this and it is destroying the lives and faith of millions all the time. So I am not trying to say that Catholics are any worse than the millions of Protestant Christians that we have today.

I believe that the Catholics in America will not fall for the deception that is going to fall on Europe and the middle-eastern nations. They will be far enough away to view everything from a distance and this will give them the advantage. But we must remember that the scriptures declare a terrible falling away from Christianity and it's principles this is happening in both the Protestant and Catholic faiths.

On February 13^th 2009, the Pope made an open statement condemning those that claim that the holocaust did not happen. This is a good thing that he did and he often does good things when it comes to standing against homosexual behavior, abortion and many other sins that are running rampant all across the world. But there is something that is happening and is going to continue to happen until it causes the Pope and the Catholic Church in the middle-east to cave in to the Antichrist and his nations called the Beast. There is a fiery trial coming that will test the hearts of millions of Christians especially in that part of the world, Catholic and Protestant alike. This article is about the connections that the Catholics are making in their relationship with the Beast in the East.

In November 2007 Pope Benedict XVI prayed to Allah as jester of brotherhood with the Muslim world. The reason he did this was because during a speech at the University of Regensburg in Germany,

he quoted a 14th-century Byzantine emperor on what Christians in the 14th-century thought of Muslims. The quote went like this:
"Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."
Muslims around the world, however, thought the pope was voicing his personal opinion of Mohammed and were outraged.

Despite a statement from the pope himself on Sept. 17 trying to clarify what he meant, Muslim street protests erupted around the world. That same day, Somali gunmen shot and killed a 65-year-old Italian nun in Mogadishu, purportedly in retribution. Two Christians were later stabbed and killed in Baghdad, several churches there were bombed and an Assyrian Catholic priest was beheaded in Mosul.
This outrage in the Islamic nations towards the Pope caused the Pope to go to Istanbul Turkey. This trip was to heal the differences and to make an attempt to bring unity between Christians and Muslims. While in Turkey Pope Benedict visited a Muslim Mosque? Along side of the Mufti of Istanbul and the Imam of the Blue Mosque, the Pope closed his eyes and prayed in silence for two minutes while facing Mecca. The significance of praying towards Mecca is to be praying to Allah the god of Mohammed. This compromise in his faith was to try and establish peace between Islam and the Catholic Church. This is the second time a Pope has ever visited a mosque. The first time a Pope visited a mosque was when John Paul II visited one on a trip to Damascus.

May 14, 1999 - John Paul II kisses the Koran (Qu'ran) at the Vatican.

To the objectors who claim that this book was not the Koran, we present an excerpt from an interview with FIDES News Service (June 1, 1999). In it, Chaldean Catholic Patriarch Raphael I affirmed that he was present when John Paul II kissed the Muslim "holy" book: "On May 14th I was received by the Pope, together with a delegation composed of the Shi'ite imam of Khadum mosque and the Sunni president of the council of administration of the Iraqi Islamic Bank. There was also a representative of the Iraqi ministry of religion."

At the end of the audience the Pope bowed to the Muslim holy book, the Qu'ran, presented to him by the delegation, and he kissed it as a sign of respect. The photo of that gesture has been shown repeatedly on Iraqi television and it demonstrates that the Pope is not only aware of the suffering of the Iraqi people, he has also great respect for Islam."

I didn't place this article here to slam Catholics but rather to show you the frailty of human beings. The Pope is a man with human weaknesses just like everyone else. Often times when people are placed in dire situations they will do things that are quite unexpected. In these situations above with Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI we saw them break under pressure doing what any human being could possibly do. Europe is slowly being taken over by Muslims through immigration. Slowly Europe is being forced into a position of submission to Islam. It isn't through warfare but through population and numbers. In Europe it is a dangerous thing to speak your mind about the radical beliefs that are found in the Islamic faith. If you speak out you could be killed. This will continue to increase in strength until Europe is paralyzed by fear. It will ultimately break out in a war that will be devastating because of the weakness of the Europeans. The reason I say weakness is because they could stop this now if they would but they have hope against hope that this will never happen.

In the future the Islamic awaited Messiah, the 12th Imam will come on the scene to declare that he is the one to bring victory to Islam. At that time the Catholic Church will feel that they have to make a decision. The Catholic Church is the largest Christian group in Europe and the Middle East. The Muslim faith now outnumbers the Catholics in the world. As the Muslim faith grows especially in Europe the Catholic Church is slowly being taken over. Living side by side with people that believe that it is OK to kill Christians makes living together even more complicated. Catholics do not evangelize but grows through families and communities that are already Catholic. However Muslims do evangelize and are determined to bring the whole world under subjection to Sharia Law and obedience to the faith of Islam.

According to the common belief of Islam the Mahdi or Messiah will come to bring world peace. He will make his appearance during a time of great chaos in the earth. He will lead the Muslim world in a Jihad against the nations that do not believe in Allah or their so-called great prophet Mohammed. When he returns he will be joined by none other than Jesus himself who will team up with him. When Jesus joins up with him he will command all Christians to accept Allah as God and Mohammed as his prophet. All that refuse to do this will be killed. The way they intend to bring world-peace is by eliminating the opposition. If everyone is Muslim then there will be world peace.

I believe that the Pope at the time these things happen will grab the opportunity to try and save the Catholics in that part of the world from extinction by the hands of the Muslims. His plan will be to compromise his faith by declaring himself to be Jesus Christ and by joining with the Imam he can keep his control over the vast amount of Catholics in that part of the world. By doing this he can assure their safety and hold Catholicism together. By apostatizing the Catholic Church from their faith and surrendering his power by giving his support of the Imam he hopes for a day when this will all change and they can return to their original faith. In doing this and by his telling the Catholics to believe in Allah and Mohammed he becomes the false Prophet that Revelation the 13th chapter speaks of. But his plans will fail and in the end the Antichrist or Muslim nations will turn on him and the Catholics in that part of the world by killing them. They will set the city of Rome on fire burning it to the ground.

Yours in Christ,
Tommie Spurgeon
