Pope's Video Fulfills Prophecy

friends I wanted to take a moment to talk to you about some very interesting events that have recently transpired that have profound prophetic implications we're going to take a few moments and look at a unique video that was just posted on the internet it's a special message from Pope Francis to a convocation filled with charismatic and Pentecostal ministers it's an appeal for unity for them to unite or to join again with the Catholic Church it's an invitation for them to be one and I think this is very significant we won't be able to show the whole video we will post it at the amazing facts website if you'd like to view it in its entirety but I'd like to go through and look at it and highlight some points that I want to bring to your attention why don't we go ahead and we'll roll down there I believe that God has brought me here to this year's ministers conference in the spirit of Elijah let me explain if you look carefully the spirit of Elijah was on John the Baptist to turn the hearts of the sons to the fathers let's pause the tape right there now in a moment we're going to be hearing a personal message from Pope Francis but to me even more interesting is the question about who is this Bishop Tony Palmer a very dashing individual that seems to have a personal relationship with the Pope and is being sent as an envoy of the Pope he sort of is a mediator in that he's not technically a Catholic he's an Anglican he has his own ministry that is specifically focused on bringing unity to the churches and he's not just going to this conference of the charismatic but he's making the rounds in every way he can to bring the different churches together he does a masterful job as framing himself as the prophet Elijah with a message to bring the children back to the father's and the father's to the children a message of unity playing down doctrinal differences he can listen and see what you think and to turn the hearts of the father's to the sons to prepare the way for the Lord and we know that prophecy always has a double fulfillment and we know that larger will come before the second coming as well and I've understood that the spirit of Elijah is the spirit of reconciliation to return hearts to each other this is very important we know that the first thousand years there was one church it was called the Catholic Church and there were Catholic means universal it doesn't mean Roman Catholic means you'd if you're born again raise your hand if you're born again you're a Catholic don't want to make too much out of it because he's right the word Catholic does technically mean universal but what you're seeing here is in very careful deliberate increments the distinctions between Catholics and Protestants are being broken down let's go ahead and keep playing take back redeem what belongs to you we are Catholics and then there was the split at the end of the first millennium we had the Orthodox Eastern West two churches then five hundred years later we have Luther in his protest three churches in fifteen hundred years three denominations or three churches and then from Luther's protest onwards thirty-three thousand new denominations you see what's happening here friends is he's calling it Luther's protests instead of it being the Protestant movement or the Protestant Reformation it's sort of being stated as it's really the rebellion of the protest of one disgruntled priest but this was really a movement based upon a lot of theological differences let's go ahead and play I've come to understand that diversity is divine its division that's diabolic I don't know if you caught that friends but that's a very significant and troubling diversity is wonderful it's divine but the vision is diabolical see that's just patently not true not all the vision is diabolical the Bible tells us that the Word of God divides it's sharper than any two-edged sword Jesus said I have not come to send peace but to send a sword Paul tells us that we must come out and be separate and when the Apostles in their day took a stand for the truth there was a division that took place between themselves and the big church and so in the last days when we take a stand for the truth we're going to be called not only divisive we're going to be called a diabolical it's true what you were saying about the glory I agree with you of course it's true the glory that the father had he gave to Jesus the glory was the presence of God what is the charismatic renewal it's when we experience the presence of God and he said and I give them the glory pragmatic reason so that they may be one it's the glory that glues us together not the doctrines he said it's the glory that glues us together not the doctrines well I don't know if I mentioned earlier that Bishop Tony Palmer is also a charismatic he speaks in tongues he supports that and the charismatic movement is a very interesting movement in that it really is a form of spiritualism that is coming to the Christian Church matter of fact more emphasis is put on the spirit than on doctrine you know one more thing I thought should insert at this point as we're talking about who is this Tony Palmer he told the crowd when my wife saw that she could be a Catholic and a charismatic and evangelical and Pentecostal and it was absolutely accepted in the Catholic Church see she she said she wanted to reconnect her roots with a Catholic culture so she did so there's no mistaking what his goal is he said his wife believed she could be all of these things and reconnect to the Catholic culture this is going to be the goal that everybody comes together in the Christian world within or recognizing the Catholic culture it's the glory if you accept that Christ is living in me and the presence of God is in me and the presence of God is in you that's all we need because God will sort out all our doctrines when you get upstairs don't worry about doctrine here we'll sort out all the doctrines when we get to heaven let's just love each other here but doctrine is very important jesus said you'll know the truth and the truth will set you free when Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount the people were amazed at his doctrine so what are we going to do eliminate the Sermon on the Mount because we're just supposed to love each other we'll sort out the doctrines later this is going to be the mantra that you're going to hear over and over again let's play there for Christian unity is the basis of our credibility because jesus said until they won they will not believe the world will not believe as they should until we are one division destroys our credibility it is fear that keeps us separated because fear is false evidence appearing real it's an acronym f.e.a.r false evidence appearing real because most of your fear is based on propaganda so what we're really hearing here is that the Protestant Reformation teachings are propaganda that incites fear and so it's bad don't worry about this propaganda okay keep going now why is it historic because in 1999 the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestant Lutheran Church signed an agreement that brought an end to the protest Luther believed that we were saved by grace through faith alone amen little correction it wasn't just Luther that believed this it was tens of thousands of dedicated Christians that wanted to get back to the Bible HUS believed it Wickliffe believe the Tyndale believed that all the great reformers believed it it wasn't just Luther but that's not it the Catholic Church believed that we were saved by works and that was the protest in 1999 they wrote this together because in the Protestant church we are a lot of cheap salvations people were getting born-again but no fruit whatsoever and because we didn't even look for fruits it wasn't the issue because it wasn't necessary for salvation and no it's not but it's a good judge if you are saved so what these two churches did they put the two definitions together listen to it I'm reading verbatim from the Catholic Vatican website justification means that Christ Himself is our righteousness in which we share through the Holy Spirit in accord with the will of the Father together we Catholics and Protestants Lutheran's believe and confess that by grace alone in faith in Christ's saving works and not because of any merit on our part we are accepted by God and receive the Holy Spirit who renews our hearts while equipping and calling us to good works well this may sound like it was just the protest of Luther Luther didn't protest against one thing he nailed 95 different points of protest on the doors of the Wittenberg's this is addressing one of the issues it's not the only issue and you'll notice that in the wording in the language that's used in this agreement it's very convoluted in kg because the Catholics were looking for a wording where they would not need to renounce what they formerly believed or say there was anything wrong with their doctrines and so don't have time to go into that but it's not exactly what it appears on the surface this brought an end to the protest of Luther brothers and sisters Luther's protest is over is yours in 1999 this was signed by the Lutheran Church the Federation worldwide later but five years later the worldwide Methodist signed the same agreement but as of today we still have had no Protestant evangelical that will stand up and sign this agreement to agree with our brothers and sisters that we are saved by grace through faith to good works and I believe that's something that needs to be fixed with pause so he's really throwing down the gauntlet he's saying Lutheran's have signed an agreement that the protest is over and the Methodists signed this agreement now we're looking for the evangelicals and the Pentecostals to sign this agreement and so we can all be one again the Protestant Reformation not necessary we're all in harmony now there's a challenge for you so the protest has been over for 15 years and I get a bit cheeky here because I challenge my Protestant pastor friends if there is no more protest how can they be a Protestant church I think it's easy for us to see where this is going the distinction between Protestants and Catholics is being chipped away at now this is a movement towards a one-world religion this is exactly what prophecy says has to happen before Jesus comes back the world's being shaken right now they'll only be two groups when Christ comes back one group will have the seal of God the other group will have the mark of the beast obviously if there are 33,000 different Christian denominations something has to happen to polarize these two groups into those one of those two camps this is where you've seen prophecy being fulfilled right now friends these are the kind of statements these are the kinds of Appeals that will be made to bring everybody together into one unified body where we downplay doctrine downplay the Bible maybe we now we're all Catholics again but we are reformed we're Catholic in the universal sense we are not protesting the doctrine of salvation by the Catholic Church anymore we now preach the same gospel do we preach the same gospel unless there's been some radical changes since 1999 that I don't know about just to give you a few examples of some of the distinctive differences that brought about the Protestant Reformation the Bible teaches we're not supposed to bow down the statutes that's like one of the Ten Commandments and the law of God is part of the gospel roman catholic church says we should bow down to statues the Bible teaches that all have sinned except Jesus the Roman Catholic Church teaches that Mary was sinless the Bible says that Jesus is the only mediator between God and man the Roman Catholic Church says that Mary is a co mediator the Bible teaches that Christ offered his sacrifice once on the cross for all Hebrew 7:27 the Roman Catholic Church teaches that the pre sacrifices Christ on the altar whenever he conducts Mass the Bible teaches that all Christians are Saints in priests Ephesians 1:1 the Roman Catholic Church says that saints and priests are a special caste within the Christian community the Bible teaches that all Christians should know that they have eternal life 1st John 5:13 the Roman Catholic Church teaches that all Christians cannot and should not know that they have eternal life the Bible teaches that we should call no religious leader father the Roman Catholic Church teaches that we make all priests and the Pope father and Bishop Tony Palmer is also called father Tony the Bible teaches not to pray in vain repetition yet the Roman Catholic Church says you can say Hail Mary and our Father in vain repetition the Bible teaches to confess your sins to God only that only God can forgive sins Roman Catholic Church says you must confess your sins to the priest the Bible teaches before baptism a person should be taught the gospel and the commandments of Christ believe in repent the Roman Catholic Church teaches little infants can be baptized or if they die before they'll be consigned to hell the teachings regarding purgatory limbo prayers to the dead are nowhere in Scripture but they are relics of paganism now there's great differences theologically between what the Protestants died for they shed their blood for these principles of truth and what the Catholic and some of the Orthodox churches believe and are we supposed to just say that truth doesn't matter anymore let's just love each other and that's how we're going to do evangelism evangelism must be based on truth I can start preaching now but we'll go back to the video we now preach you're saved by grace through faith alone the word alone was the argument for 500 years the word alone is there you can read it yourself the protest is over the protest is over so let me pray and then we'll start the video I believe we will begin to see more and more people called out to go into the world and work among the churches in the spirit of Elijah to turn the hearts of the father's to the children and the heart of the children to the father's to make ready a people prepared for the Lord ministries of reconciliation we need to throw as much resources and energy into the Ministry of reconciliation as we do to the ministry of evangelization or are we building walls without foundations I challenge you to find a bridge builder and back him or her and I'd like to pray this prayer and if you agree you can say Amen this was a dying man's prayer and when you know you're about to die you certainly prayed the most important prayers he said I do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in me through their word that they all may be one as you Father are in me and I in you that they may also be one in us so that the world may believe that you sent me and the glory which you have given me I have given them that they may be one as we are one glory to the Father amen okay so part of that prayer of Jesus is of course that there would be oneness that we could be united but it also says in John chapter 17 17 sanctify them through thy truth thy Word is truth what is going to be that will unite us is the Spirit of God and the Spirit is the truth of God the teachings yes those are the words again John 16 same book verse 13 however when he the Spirit of Truth has come he will guide you into all truth it's through the truth that we will have unity it is through the doctrines that's what brings people together as we come closer together in the theology of the Bible the doctrines of truth we come closer together in Christ because Jesus is the Word made flesh it's not as we come closer together in a feeling a charisma or a feeling of glory when we're baptized with the gift of tongues that's not what brings the church together that's not what real unity is very little reference to the Word of God and truth that sets us free in this now I think he's going to be playing his segment from the Pope they're brothers and sisters excuse me because I speaking Italian but I are not the speaking English but I mean it's big kick and all we got in no English but carefully now first I think the audience was thunderstruck when they saw the Pope come on the screen that it actually is the Pope this isn't a letter that's being read from the Pope the Pope himself was specifically addressing this conference matter of fact in the video message he says I've sent my friend Tony Palmer longtime friend with this message makes you wonder about the gravitas that this person has in the Vatican and if we're going to be seeing more of them in the future and again I want to reiterate that you know the the greatest part of Christ's true followers are not members of my church I believe that there are genuine sincere Christians and many different denominations the Pope himself seems like a wonderful man he reminds me of my grandfather he looks just like my grandfather really but I just want to make sure that everybody is not tricked into thinking that this is all as homey and heartfelt as its being made to appear it is very possible that this message was somewhat scripted that there were some notes that were reviewed and then it was delivered extemporaneously but there was an outline and so this message I think is strategic might have been put on a smartphone so that it appears to be just on the cuff but let's keep watching hey Wendy wow you say Mitch a hippie authentica a crystalline by the glory hound in Gwangju Moon agrammatic especially a gramática simply chain really a MIDI you protrude the amulet over Kent over a durable soil a conquest into a ghostly movin that is the statement that I hear as I do evangelism around the country in the world from other Christians they say we don't need the Ten Commandment we don't need the Sabbath it is true the Ten Commandments are summarized and love for God love your neighbor it's in the heart but sometimes those statements are used to diminish the importance of specifically obeying God's commandments and so while this is beautiful and I do agree we need to love the Lord love our neighbor that is not to dismiss the importance of specifically obeying the Ten Commandments let's go ahead yes Highway Code mio

cetera so he's basically saying that I greet you with joy that you're gathered together to worship Jesus but I'm also doing it with nostalgia or yearning as it would be translated in Italian meaning I'm looking back to when we were one family and we need to be one family again as the emphasis of the message society became he became enchants America not Rebecca imminent AZN el estado de llamada una longest radha dipa cot o comunitario makea la culpa to Diaby americorps lutetium of the Gregorian now to me this could be the biggest understatement of the millennium that all those thirty to fifty million people that were executed by the Catholic Church this was a big misunderstanding and we don't know who's to blame well I think it's because there was such a great divergence of theology that people would not recognize the superiority and the authority of the church and I don't believe that they've changed their view on that point so Don Dona roosters in yo hey yo renew stadia que cuesta separate Co name Niska de la communists Aegean dia de Bronco lingua new garden viola a cyclist vibora cuando if father daily did you say they affirm at the sauna Nadia Agito and now here the Pope transitions into a discourse it's really brilliant talking about an embrace and then he references the story of Joseph and as he talks about the story of Joseph make sure that you understand the pictures that are coming up in the minds of the listeners he is couching himself in the Catholic Church as Joseph Joseph that was misunderstood and betrayed by his brothers but his brothers began to starve for what only Joseph could give them and that they came and ultimately bow down to Joseph and Joseph ended up being the ruler over them they had been separated from their brother but they came and embraced him in the end Joseph embraced his brothers and he forgave his brothers for what they had done so you decide as you're watching this little analogy whose Joseph in the story and company I

friends I tried to just let the the Pope speak uninterrupted because I thought it was important for you to get this and I just really can't improve on it there's an appeal we embrace each other a miracle of unity that we blend our tears together that we're all brothers this is really an appeal for wayward Protestants to come home by the way when Joseph's brothers found Joseph they ended up moving down to Egypt where Joseph was I'll let him finish this off yellow diamond evil eye Oh given ad template Elva part a una prac grazie Oh glory glory glory Toni thank you sir come on the man asked us to break boy Oh father now pastor Kenneth Copeland comes up who was a really a disciple of Oral Roberts himself he's probably one of the most premier charismatic leaders in North America also is a pretty well-known prosperity preacher but interesting that Pastor Ken Copeland and Pope Francis are both 77 years old so they're they're coming from the same era after they this room full of these aren't just laymen these are leaders these are ministers in the charismatic movement they hear this message from the Pope they rise to their feet they applaud they raise their hands in the air and they think this is wonderful seem to be embracing what the message is saying let's keep going father we we answer his request and since we know not how to pray for him as we ought other than to agree with him in his quest and in his his heart for the unity of the body of Christ we come together in the unity of our faith hallelujah it just seems to me like he is agreeing with what the Pope said that we're going to come together in the unity of our faith just wanted to make that point let's keep going so father we just all of us now according to Scripture when we know not how to pray as we ought we pray for him in the Spirit we receive utterance in the Holy Ghost we receive prayers of faith we receive sir we receive words that are not our own been a keystroke hemangioma Honda leg a

jesus said you will speak with other tongues he meant that the disciples would supernaturally be given the ability to speak languages they did not formally know or study for the purpose of preaching

you Lord Jesus thank you Lord Jesus Tony bring your phone in come here I want you to video a message back come up here and let's do it this way so he can see this this whole congregation so now it's actually about brilliant idea for marketing purposes that Kenneth Copeland says now we'd like to send a personal message back to the Vatican back to the Pope so I gotta go to the Mexican again yes my dear sir My dear sir thank you so from the bottom of our hearts all of these leaders represent literally tens of thousands of people that love you that believe God with you and in answer to your request we have just prayed for you and with you and we did so in the spirit and we believe we receive according to the words of Jesus in mark 11:24 whatsoever thing you desire when you pray believe you received them and you shall have them our desire sir along with you is in the fourth chapter of the book of Ephesians till we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a mature man under the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ thank you sir we do bless you we receive your blessing it's very very important and we bless you with all of our hearts we bless you with all of our souls we bless you with all of our might and we thank you sir we thank God for you and so all of us declare together be blessed let's get all the other be last oh man oh man oh man oh man and ha-la-lu I think I'm gonna have to come to the daddy how well I'm available praise God so bishop Toni was now inviting Kenneth Copeland to come to the Vatican it'll be interesting to see if that happens and how that plays out also I don't think anyone could miss that they seem to embrace the message of the Pope for unity say we want your blessing and we want to bless you God's will be done amen Tony thank you sir bye how you bless this place tonight I told you to never forget it ha ha ha yeah whoa I'll tell you I'm telling you right now heaven is thrilled over this oh thank you lord hallelujah you know you know what you know was so thrilling to me I mean when we went into the ministry 47 years ago this was impossible that's right he recognized how much things have changed since he first went into ministry because the charismatic s-- and the Pentecostals were very much Protestant and they taught that the Beast of Revelation back then was the Catholic Church things have radically changed and you can see that in black and white and they're teaching well friends I'd like to just close by reading something to you and then I would like to suggest that you do a little further study this is from chapter 35 in the book great controversy and you tell me if you think that prophecy is being fulfilled Romanism is now regarded by Protestants with far greater favor than in former years in those countries where Catholicism is not in the ascendancy and the Papists are taking a conciliatory course in order to gain influence there's an increasing indifference concerning the doctrines that separate the Reformed churches from the papal hierarchy the opinion is gaining ground that after all we don't differ so widely on vital points as had been supposed and so a little concession on our part will bring us into a better understanding with Rome the time was when Protestants placed a high value upon the Liberty of conscience which has been so dearly purchased they taught their children to Arbor popery and they held to seek harmony with Rome would be disloyalty to God but how widely different are the sentiments now expressed again great controversy page 563 friends today this prophecy is fulfilled in your hearing in light of all these things that are happening I know now why the Lord helped us get through three and a half years in producing the one very important 90-minute DVD this is a docudrama that amazing facts is just released it's called revelation the bride the Beast and Babylon and if you watch this you will understand why these issues are so significant and how close we are to the end of time but I want to emphasize in closing that this is just one more important landmark in prophecy there's still a lot left to happen that we need to understand but even knowing the details of prophecy is not going to be the thing that will save us we need to have a daily personal relationship with Jesus that's based on his truth and his word are you studying the word do you walk with the Lord it's the truth that will set you free friends we need to pray that if there's anything that we're holding back that's keeping us from really surrendering ourselves fully to Jesus taking up our cross and following him that you'll choose to do that today have you ever wondered what it would look like when prophecies are fulfilled what more can you expect then personal messages from the Pope Protestants I think we're seeing these things happen right now

I would say that if everyone just focused on trying to be Christ-like in order to reach people there would be unity.
