Pope Francis: Perhaps this is the Last Generation that Can Save Mother Earth

On October 2, 2021, Pope Francis convened the second global event of the “Economy of Francesco,” a world-wide gathering of young people working to create a new sustainable and inclusive economy. The event took place at the Palazzo del Monte Frumentarium in Assisi, Italy. The Pope addressed the participants through a video message and once again he became obsessed with the climate change crisis to an extreme and excessive degree. Pope Francis is not simply advocating for clean air and water. He is on a mission to radically change the world economy with a message of fraternity, solidarity, Sunday sacredness and other Catholic social doctrines that have nothing to do with the weather. The Pope said at the international gathering:

“Today our Mother Earth is lamenting and warning us that we are approaching dangerous thresholds. You are perhaps the last generation that can save us: I am not exaggerating. In the light of this emergency, your creativity and resilience imply a great responsibility. I hope you can use those gifts to correct the mistakes of the past and lead us towards a new economy that is more inclusive, sustainable and supportive. This mission of the economy, however, includes the regeneration of all our social systems: by instilling the values of fraternity, solidarity, and care for our Earth and common assets in all our structures we might address the greatest challenges of our time.” [1]

First of all, the earth is not our mother. The earth is an inanimate object and cannot cry or speak. Our planet cannot be anyone’s mother because it is not a person. It is a thing. And Christians only have two mothers. Our biological mother who gave birth to us from the womb and the New Jerusalem that will soon be the home of the redeemed:

“But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.” Galatians 4:26.

So the concept of “Mother Earth” is idolatry and pure paganism, and the very fact that Pope Francis is obsessively pushing for the personification of the earth is proof of the moral decay and apostasy to which the churches have fallen. Today’s churches are substituting true biblical faith in God for eco-idolatry. Pope Francis is not proclaiming any new admonition from God; no, he is simply repeating the same slogans of the secular globalists who want to rule the world. This means that he is not a representative of Christ, but the spokesperson for the goddess Gaia (Mother Earth).

Secondly, is Pope Francis really speaking? Or is it Greta Thunberg speaking? Or is it António Guterres, the Secretary General of the United Nations, speaking? Or is it President Joe Biden who is speaking because everyone is basically saying the same thing? The message is indistinguishable. The church and the state are preaching the same sermon. Why is that? The answer is simple and it is called “globalism.” The globalists speak and the sheep obey; some for money, others for convenience and others for fear of going against the powers that be. The entire Christian and secular world has jumped on the same train. The Bible predicts this very event:

“For all nations have drunk of the wine (Mother Earth heresy and Sunday sacredness) 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.

“And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.” Revelation 17:12, 13.

Here we see the religious and political powers of the earth completely selling themselves out to Rome’s one world order. And should this be the priority of God’s faithful remnant people? Absolutely not! The mission of the true church of Bible prophecy is the salvation of souls. They are concerned about the great moral dilemma of our day and the crisis of sin that will cause both spiritual and physical death. They will proclaim the everlasting gospel of Revelation 14 and give the warning message against the beast, its image and its mark. The people of God will warn against the universal brotherhood that is being created, they will not join it. The question about the earth has already been answered by Christ when He asked:

“For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matthew 16:26.

In other words, what good will it do if I acquire wealth, fame, success or even if I save the planet, but lose my soul? Apparently, our soul is worth more to God than the earth. God already has the solution for the planet. This earth will pass away and the redeemed will inherit a new one (Revelation 21:1). The real dilemma that the gospel of Christ seeks to restore are the souls of men and women who are still lost in sin. This is the true work of the church, and there is no true church or pastor without this gospel emphasis.

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.” Jeremiah 23:16.

“There be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:7, 8.
