On October 29, 2021, President Joe Biden traveled to the Vatican to meet with Pope Francis. The two met privately in the papal library for over 70 minutes, where President Biden praised Pope Francis for his commitment to “fighting” the climate crisis. The White House issued the following statement regarding the meeting of the two leaders:
“In his audience with Pope Francis today, President Biden thanked His Holiness for his advocacy for the world’s poor and those suffering from hunger, conflict, and persecution. He lauded Pope Francis’ leadership in fighting the climate crisis, as well as his advocacy to ensure the pandemic ends for everyone through vaccine sharing and an equitable global economic recovery.” [1]
It is disturbing to see the leader of the most powerful nation singing the praises of the most influential religion in the world. What does this mean and what is the message that is projected to the world? Does this mean that we can praise and worship the beast and wonder after it (Revelation 13:3, 4)? That is the perception. What happened to the Protestant-American principle of separating our government of the United States from the religious influences of Rome? Tragically, we are seeing a literal fulfillment of the prediction that was made in God’s inspired word:
“Our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near” (Testimonies, Vol. 5, p. 451).
The Vatican also issued a statement about Pope Francis and President Joe Biden:
“This morning, Friday 29 October 2021, His Excellency Joseph R. Biden, President of the United States of America, was received in audience by the Holy Father Francis … During the course of the cordial discussions, the Parties focused on the joint commitment to the protection and care of the planet, the healthcare situation and the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the theme of refugees and assistance to migrants. Reference was also made to the protection of human rights, including freedom of religion and conscience. Finally, the talks enabled an exchange of views on some matters regarding the current international situation, also in the context of the imminent G20 summit in Rome, and on the promotion of peace in the world through political negotiation.” [2]
This “joint commitment” to protecting and caring for the “planet” means that Pope Francis and Joe Biden are committed to working together to end the climate crisis. This is exactly what prophecy predicted would happen. The United States, the most powerful and richest nation in the world, will work together with Rome to bring life and power to the image of the beast:
“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15
Once America forms an image of the beast, this will lead directly to the worship of the first beast by causing the world to adopt the policies and teachings of Rome:
“And this beast (USA) exercised all the authority of the first beast and caused the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast (Rome), whose mortal wound had been healed.” Revelation 13:12
The healing of the deadly wound, the emergence of the image of the beast and the decree to worship the first beast are all connected. These are the principles for which the Pope and the President are working. Joe Biden, a Roman Catholic, has been faithful and loyal in implementing this prophetic undertaking. He is committed to supporting and enforcing papal policies internationally both at the G20 summit and at COP26. That is what he has expressed and without a doubt the Vatican fully agrees with this “joint commitment.”
The current situation that we are witnessing, the president of the United States being received in the Vatican by the Pope in the context of the international G20 summit in Rome and in the context of the United Nations Climate Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, harmonizes with the prophetic scenes of the last days. The course of events that is now taking shape supports the teaching in the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy regarding the final movements just before Jesus returns. God, who sees the end from the beginning, knows the mind of man and his reactions to future events. He has told us these things before they happen, so that when they happen, we will believe and know that our redemption is near:
“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21:28.
“And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.” John 14:29.
These world events only strengthen our faith in the historic Seventh-day Adventist message. The foundations and protocols necessary for the implementation of the mark of the beast are taking shape. The things we have preached about for a long time are coming true. Political and religious trends are combining to bring about just such a situation as God has revealed to His people. Now is the time for God’s people to fulfill their prophetic roles and proclaim the unwavering messages of Revelation 14. Revelation 14 is God’s response to the mark of the beast, the false religious revival, spiritualism, the union of church and state, Sunday worship and all the other policies of Rome. Only as we are rooted in God’s truth will we be able to resist the bewitching power that has captivated the whole world in these last days:
“The pomp and ceremony of the Catholic worship have a seductive, bewitching power, by which many are deceived; and they come to look upon the Roman Church as the very gate of Heaven. None but those who have planted their feet firmly upon the foundation of truth, and whose hearts are renewed by the Spirit of God, are proof against her influence” (Great Controversy, p. 567).
