“These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.” Revelation 17:13.
This ancient prophetic warning is having a fulfillment in our modern world. Prophecy foretells of a time of unparalleled unity, not in truth or righteousness, but in rebellion. It is the great convergence—the final alliance of nations, systems, and powers under a singular agenda to worship the beast and impose his mark.
“Unity, unity, unity” was the central theme of Pope Leo XIV’s inaugural Sunday Eucharistic Mass on May 18, 2025. He called for people within the Church, outside of it, and of all faiths to come together in love and unity. The Pope tirelessly repeated this message, making it unmistakably clear that his ambition is not only to lead the Church but to influence the entire world. Yet tragically, this call for unity was built on the fragile foundation of human love and unity, rather than on unity founded on the Word of God and the truth found in Jesus Christ.
During his inaugural Mass, the Pope stated the following:
• “I come to you as a brother, who desires to be the servant of your faith and your joy, walking with you on the path of God’s love, for he wants us all to be united in one family. Love and unity: These are the two dimensions of the mission.” [1]
• “For our part, we want to be a small leaven of unity, communion and fraternity within the world. We want to say to the world, with humility and joy: Look to Christ! Come closer to him! Welcome his word that enlightens and consoles! Listen to his offer of love and become his one family.” [1]
• “In the one Christ, we are one. This is the path to follow together, among ourselves, but also with our sister Christian churches, with those who follow other religious paths, with those who are searching for God, with all women and men of goodwill, in order to build a new world where peace reigns!” [1]
• “This is the missionary spirit that must animate us; not closing ourselves off in our small groups, nor feeling superior to the world. We are called to offer God’s love to everyone, in order to achieve that unity that does not cancel out differences but values the personal history of each person and the social and religious culture of every people.” [1]
• “Brothers and sisters, this is the hour for love!” [1]
• “Together, as one people, as brothers and sisters, let us walk towards God and love one another.” [1]
Pope Leo XIV is desperately wanting to build a new society where we leave the past behind, forget our divisions, close the old wounds, and look to each other with love and not suspicion. This reminds us of the words “they have one mind” (Revelation 17:13), which signal a terrifying harmony among the kingdoms of the earth. Where there is now geopolitical chaos and clashing ideologies, the call is to come to a singular consensus. But this harmony is not the unity of the Spirit or the peace of the Kingdom of God—this is the unity of deception.
The Tower of Babel is rising once again—not in brick and mortar, but in global alliances and universal fraternity. When the world gives its power to the beast, the final crisis of lawlessness will bring tyranny cloaked in the garments of peace and unity. Yet in this false unity is hidden the great apostasy. Biblical truth is discarded, and the gospel is diluted into a message of coexistence at the cost of genuine salvation.
The good news is that we have nothing to fear because the very next verse, Revelation 17:14, speaks of the return of Jesus as King of kings. Even though the beast may unite the world in rebellion, the Lamb shall return to redeem His faithful ones.
“These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.” Revelation 17:14.
True believers in Christ have nothing to fear from the beast, its image, or the mark, because their hope and assurance rest in the promises of God’s Word. Scripture assures us that those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will be preserved, and that Jesus Himself will return in glory to bring deliverance, vindication, and everlasting peace to all who have remained faithful to God’s commandments and the faith of Jesus. In the face of mounting darkness and turmoil, believers can lift their eyes with confidence and hope, knowing that their redemption is drawing near.

This is the “hour for love”….unless of course one disagrees with catholic teachings. I’m sure they thought it was an “hour of love” while in the throes of Thyatira.
Pope Leo XIV, is continuing the vision of his predecessor Pope Francis I , of having the one world religion through the ecumenism. The Prophecy has predicted about this super state Church religion which will carry every one on board, and this religion will not obey voice of God; but it will follow the traditions of men. The book of (Matthew 15:9) says; How bait , do they worship me in vain teaching the doctrines and the commandments of men.This is one dangerous thing about the ecumenism ;Our Lord Jesus Christ is warning us not engage with people who don’t obey the God’s word and those who mock him? The Roman Catholic Church aims to bring on board in this ecumenical bandwagon and even the General Conference of the Seventh day Adventists are being represented in the the ecumenical gatherings by the top officials such as Religious Liberty leader Ganoune Diop. In the inspiration the book of testiomonies for the church volume 7, page:182 says; the whole world shall become under the one head of the papal power.This prophecy was predicted almost a hundred and thirty years ago,and it’s getting fulfilled before our eyes. The whole issue about the ecumenism is to rebel against the ALMIGHTY GOD and reject his Holy word the Bible and trample down upon it and embrace the traditions,and man made teachings.The man made traditions include the trinity; infant baptism ; sacraments;worship of Mary;Transubtantiation;Purgatory;Sunday worship e.t.c. Anybody who does not obey this authority will be declared a heretic and fanatic. The Book called ”The Keys of this blood”Author Malachi Martins says; Among the minimalists those who oppose the New World Order and the authority of Catholic church include Abrahamic church of God; Advent Christian and Seventh Day Adventists are have one thing in common they reject the papacy and the authority of Rome.
How can you claim that it is God’s love and his desire for us all to come together in unity and love, when you clearly stated in your opening inaugural address that mary is your God?
Those who love God know God, and those who do not love God don’t know Him :
“7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. ” 1 John 4:7-8 KJV
God’s Commandments are a transcript of His character, and God said:
“If ye love me, keep my commandments. ”
John 14:15 KJV
And the first 2 Commandments says:
“3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. ” Exodus 20:3-6 KJV
Clearly their God is not the Creator God of the Holy Bible.To know God is to keep His Commandments.
So where do we find in God’s Word that it his desire that world need to unite while they continue in transgressing His Law? Nowhere! This is God’s will:
“9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. ” 2 Peter 3:9-10 KJV
It is God’s will that world repent from sin because judgment is coming and this sinful planet and everything in it will be burned up!
It is amazing that, the devil has a counterfeit for ever single truth Of Jesus Christ. As we come up to the close of time, the close of probation, same as his false revivals to deceive those not standing on the unadulterated word of God. The remnant will be known by their brotherly love one towards another. As 1 Corinthians 12, 13 unity in the body of Christ. The devils unity though appealing to the heart and feelings, sight of the masses stands on sand.
