Pope prays with top Muslim cleric at Turkish mosque
Pope Benedict XVI prayed alongside an Islamic cleric in one of Turkey's most famous mosques Thursday in a dramatic gesture of outreach to Muslims after outrage from the pontiff's remarks linking violence and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad.

Pope Benedict XVI is in Turkey this week.  He not only mingled with the Islamic clerics but prayed right alongside them giving validly to their religion.   "'This visit will help us find together the way of peace for the good of all humanity,' the pope said before leaving the 17th-century Blue Mosque in only the second papal visit to a Muslim place of worship."  http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull&cid=1164881790362

There is a hint that there will be a progression toward a one world religion in Revelation, but I think the true one world religion will not come to fruition until after the antichrist declares himself to be God toward the middle of the tribulation period.  

Can you image what state the world will be in to embrace a mere man as God.  

As I pondered over this article I began to go through the sequence of events that would drive an entire world to worship a man.  Certainly, a very powerful man, a man that would seemingly be unstoppable, but yet, still a man.  Yes, he will have the power of satan at his disposal and the blessing of God to do His will...but still, he'll only be a man.

First, he will rise up out of the depths of a revived fallen empire to take on the spirit of antichrist.  Through this spirit he will deceive the minds of billions, winning their hearts, minds, and eventually their very souls.  Many will gaze upon him not knowing or realizing the future he must bring.  

In the midst of turmoil he will bring peace...a peace that will not only cover the Middle East but envelop the whole world.  But in the euphoria of new life will come forth a death this world has never before experienced.  In the passing of the coming days will come the extinction of one-quarter of mankind.  

Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.  Whole civilizations will be remembered no more.  The alignment of nations will be completely removed.  From the ashes of death a new leader will be born bringing with him ten kings.  

For a short time he will rule the world with a heavy hand and destroy anyone who stands in his way.  As he pronounces himself to be the god of this world, the lightning will flash, the statue will speak, and you will fall down and worship him.

On that dark day in time, there will be no one to protect you, no place to hide, no hero to run to.  

In the end, the very man we ran so quickly to save us will end up costing us our lives.

Yes, he must come, and yes, we must embrace him...and yes, it will indeed be a dark day.

Are you ready to meet the Lord?  If not, your time is running out!
