PROPHECY UPDATE: Global Religion, Babylon, Persecution
The pieces are falling into place faster than most realize. While the world celebrates unity and progress, an ancient prophecy is unfolding before our eyes.

Pope Leo XIV recently met with representatives from virtually every Christian denomination in Istanbul, pushing for complete religious unity by 2033. But this isn't about spreading the Gospel—it's about erasing biblical distinctives in the name of "witness." The same Vatican blessing borderless policies while living behind massive walls. The irony is staggering.

Meanwhile, in Iraq, the Al-Fah Grand Port project just reached 100% completion. This massive canal system is transforming landlocked Babylon into the maritime economic powerhouse that Revelation 17-18 describes. For years, skeptics said Babylon couldn't be literal because it wasn't a port city. That argument just evaporated.

And here at home? Pastors criminalized for holding church in public parks. Fire chiefs terminated for attending Christian leadership events. The Ten Commandments banned from Texas classrooms by unelected judges. The pressure cooker is heating up.

Revelation 17:6 warned us about a religious system drunk with the blood of the saints. We're watching the stage being set for exactly that scenario.

But here's the hope: Titus 2:13 promises we're "looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ." Before the wrath falls, we're going home.

The question isn't IF these prophecies will be fulfilled. It's whether you're ready when they are.

Are you watching? Are you ready?
