The International Day of Peace and the International Day of Prayer for Peace are two deeply interconnected movements, both aimed at fostering global harmony and unity. The United Nations initiated the International Day of Peace, emphasizing peacebuilding through secular, diplomatic, and humanitarian efforts, while religious communities lead the International Day of Prayer for Peace, encouraging people of faith to unite in spiritual reflection and prayer for peace. Together, these observances are celebrated every year on September 21 to encourage people to pursue peace, unity, dialogue, and cooperation.
Pope Francis marked the 2024 International Day of Prayer for Peace by calling on the major religions to imagine a world in which all faiths are united in one global family. This is a call for unity and solidarity despite our differences. This is what Pope Francis is asking the churches to work towards. He wants a religious world in which every member is interconnected on the basis of Roman Catholic teachings.
On September 17, 2024, the Vatican’s Press Office published the following:
• “Distinguished representatives of the Churches and Christian Communities and of the world’s great religions, men and women of good will who are taking part in this Meeting! Today, even more than in the past, great responsibility for peace has been placed in your hands. This demands on our part wisdom, boldness, generosity and determination. God has placed also in our hands his dream for the world: fraternity between all peoples.” [1]
• “In my Encyclicals Laudato Si’ and Fratelli Tutti, I ‘imagined’ a future for this world of ours: a single home, our planet, and a single family, that of all peoples. God has entrusted all of us with the responsibility to encourage and lead the members of our human family to live together in fraternity and peace.” [1]
• “As men and women of different cultures and religious beliefs, you have experienced the power and beauty of universal fraternity. This is the vision our world needs today. I encourage you to persevere in your efforts to be artisans of peace.” [1]
• “We need to keep meeting, to weave bonds of fraternity and to allow ourselves to be guided by the divine inspiration present in every faith, in order to join in ‘imagining peace’ among all peoples. We need such ‘occasions to speak with one another and to act together for the common good and the promotion of the poor’.” [1]
Pope Francis is on a mission to radically change the world. His goal is to win over everyone’s hearts and minds through deceit and false pretense and unite them all together into a single universal religious fraternity that will be based on his encyclicals, Fratelli Tutti and Laudato Si’. Rome seeks to unite every type of religious belief and tradition—monotheistic, polytheistic, pantheistic, and even atheistic—because, according to the Pope, each belief is a different path to the same God, and He is guiding all religions toward the same common destiny. This is the so-called common witness that is supposed to work for the common good, but it will lead us to a common day of worship under the crisis of the mark of the beast.
What we are witnessing today is a global abandonment of biblical truth. And who will speak out and condemn these errors? Who will give a note of warning? Who will point people to the truth of God? The good news is that God will always have a faithful remnant who will stay true to Him even in the face of great adversity and opposition:
“In every generation God has sent His servants to rebuke sin, both in the world and in the church. But the people desire smooth things spoken to them, and the pure, unvarnished truth is not acceptable … They were impelled to zealously declare the truth and the danger which threatened souls. The words which the Lord gave them they uttered, fearless of consequences, and the people were compelled to hear the warning. Thus the message of the third angel will be proclaimed” (Great Controversy, p, 606).

It is the fullfilment of Bible prophecies:
“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which DECEIVETH THE WHOLE WORLD: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 12:9 KJV
“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.” Revelation 13:3 KJV
“For ALL NATIONS have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.” Revelation 18:3 KJV
“For when they shall say, PEACE AND SAFETY (the motto of the ecumenical movement); then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”
1 Thessalonians 5:3 KJV
Friends, Jesus is coming soon. The people who follow the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus must focus on 2 things:
1) become sanctified, spotless, through faith and by the grace of God:
“that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;”
Philippians 2:15 KJV
“The condition of the heart should be our greatest concern” 13LtMs, Ms 46, 1898, par. 5
Not one of us will ever receive the seal of God while our characters have one spot or stain upon them. It is left with us to remedy the defects in our characters, to cleanse the soul temple of every defilement. Then the latter rain will fall upon us as the early rain fell upon the disciples on the Day of Pentecost. . 5T 214.2
2) warn the world, so the missing souls can be saved, become zealous.
We have the most important message ever given to man 2LtMs, Ms 1b, 1874, par. 7
We have been given a work of most solemn import—the proclamation of the first, second, and third angels’ messages 17LtMs, Lt 183, 1902, par. 4
I was shown that as a people we are deficient. Our works are not in accordance with our faith. Our faith testifies that we are living under the proclamation of the most solemn and important message that was ever given to mortals. Yet in full view of this fact, our efforts, our zeal, our spirit of self-sacrifice, do not compare with the character of the work…. PH078 4.3
