Who is the most powerful religious entity in the world today?

[reddogs]

Its not any of those we see fighting in the Middle East today, not Sunni, Shia, Jewish, Orthodox or non-Orthodox, or even the holders of the 'sacred sites' where millions make pilgrimage to. Prophecy told us that this religious entity would come and though it was wounded would recover to great amazement...

Revelation 13:3

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

Prophecy foretold the persecution of the saints by this entity and many martyrs would result...

Revelation 17:6

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

And this religious entity has come out the Roman Empire and not only survived its deadly wound but become what you could class as the most powerful and influential in the world today...

Revelation 17:8

The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

The bible identifies and shows us a clue to what and who it is and we can find it if we look..

Revelation 13 (King James Version)
1And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

So what was the deadly wound, history shows us when Napoleon sent his forces with General Berthier of France to topple this power.

Napoleon was the most powerful force at that time as he defeated all the forces arrayed against him, and notice what he says about the Pope in his letter to him,,,

“Tell them that I have my eyes open. That I am only fooled inasmuch as I let myself be fooled. That I am Charlemagne, the sword of the Church and their Emperor. And that I should be treated as such. […] I have briefly laid out my intentions. If he does not reply, I shall reduce him to the condition of his predecessors before Charlemagne.”

.....Napoleon and the Pope: from the Concordat to the Excommunication - napoleon.org

On February 15, 1798, the French troops entered Rome and their commander, General Berthier, under orders from Napoleon, deposed Pope Pius VI. One historian, wrote that on January 11, 1798, "a definite order was issued by the French government to its troops to march on Rome and occupy it. The army accordingly marched southwards under General Berthier, with orders from Bonaparte to expel the Pope and set up a republic in Rome." Ludwig Freiherr von Pastor, The History of the Popes, From the Close of the Middle Ages, Vol. XL, trans. E. F. Peeler (London: Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1953), p. 332.

The Pope was taken down, his temporal power ceased, the Papacy got what seemed a mortal wound, it looked like for all intents and purposes, it had ceased to exist...

The secular left is the most powerful religious entity in the world today. A secular leftist can never engage you in an argument with facts and logic, because it's based on blind belief. It has replaced worship of God with worship of self. It has its own form of outward piety, what is often called "virtue signaling."

Its promotion of abortion and the LGBT agenda, including the indoctrination and gender transitioning of elementary school children, is a deliberate affront to the natural order. They call pro-life Christians "extremists," while leaving harassing phone messages at a crisis pregnancy center and throwing a Molotov cocktail at their building.

They even go as far as to tell Christians what their religion really teaches, and it just so happens to be consistent with leftist values. The "woke" left today is most certainly a pseudo-religion, based on the blind dogmatism and conformity they insist upon.

But who is leading this pseudo-religion, with the National Sunday Law planning and implementation being laid out right before our very eyes. Here is my post on this...

If you go through the May 2020 Popes encyclical letter, 'Laudato Si', you find is suggested to be enforced by the nations.

Pope Francis updated May 2020 plan is to rally Nations behind Climate Change and Sunday law.

The encyclical is called Laudato Si, and is the Pope's encyclical on climate change, which looks on the surface as just reducing carbon emissions, carpooling, planting trees and recycling, etc....But in the encyclical, the Pope suggest also a worldwide day of rest, Sundays with keeping a better environment.

The implication here is that we need to have a law mandating rest on Sunday, so it appears that his agenda on climate change includes giving Sunday rest and worship mandated by law to improve the environment.. The Pope is asking the world to join this rest, take a look..

In his May 2020 encyclical updated letter 'Laudato Si'.
"...As part of this year's anniversary activities, a 'Laudato Si' Action Platform will also be launched, with various institutions committing to a 7-year project aimed at reaching total sustainability in the spirit of Laudato S'i.
Among the goals of the platform, according to the Vatican's department for Integral Human Development, are adopting simpler lifestyles and developing "ecological economics" based on sustainable production, fair trade, using less plastic and adopting a more plant-based diet to reduce meat consumption, as well as a broader use of public transport in order to reduce pollution.
According to their communique, the Vatican's development office intends to launch the platform in early 2021 by inviting several institutions to begin the 7-year project. The following year, they will encourage a new group to join, with the hope of doubling the number of entities committing to the 7-year plan.
In this way we are planning to grow a Laudato Si ' inspired network that continues to expand and grow exponentially each year,' they said, noting that this initiative will continue for each consecutive year of the new decade, with the goal of arriving at the 'critical mass' needed in order to lead a 'radical societal transformation' inspired by Pope Francis in Laudato Si......" https://cruxnow.com/vatican/2020/05/vatican-launches-year-long-celebration-of-laudato-si/

The encyclical letter Laudato Si is available here on the Vatican website. And so we come to the notion of rest, or more accurately, Sabbath:
237. On Sunday, our participation in the Eucharist has special importance. Sunday, like the Jewish Sabbath, is meant to be a day which heals our relationships with God, with ourselves, with others and with the world. Sunday is the day of the Resurrection, the 'first day' of the new creation, whose first fruits are the Lord's risen humanity, the pledge of the final transfiguration of all created reality. It also proclaims '(humankind's) eternal rest in God'.[CCC 2175] In this way, Christian spirituality incorporates the value of relaxation and festivity. http://w2.vatican.va/content/france...sco_20150524_enciclica-laudato-si.pdf#page=47

And look how everyone agrees what a great idea....

Are you saying that the Vatican is supporting the secular left behind the scenes, in order to undermine the morals of society, so that people will get so fed up to the point of supporting a national Sunday law?

The Catholic Church makes a lot of emphasis on its focus on "tradition" and that "Tradition" is the only real basis for changing/editing one of God's commandments to point it from one day to another. But I don't think the elements in Catholicism today wittingly try to connect more acceptance of LGBTQ... doctrine with Christianity - as a step toward promoting Government sponsored sunday laws. Rather they appear to be promoting "Climate change" as that tool/mechanism at present.

 

[Mugen]

But isn't it possible revelation 13 refers to a time yet to come? I mean doesn't it encompass other prophecies of revelations not yet fulfilled?

Its using the 'one world' agenda which supports these ideas for 'the common good' and soon will be applied to it.. Pope Francis: Defeat Covid-19 by working for the common good
