Latest Political/Religious Agreements

Interestingly, the world’s superpowers are slowly coming together. In an effort to obtain greater global cooperation many countries are signing agreements, establishing better relations and discussing possible solutions to major problems. The three most pressing issues are:

• The economic crisis
• Hunger (1 billion people suffering from hunger)
• Climate change (global warming)

The United States has also focused on providing public healthcare. A major point of discussion for public healthcare has been abortion rights. Interestingly, it is religious groups that are presenting the greatest influence both in the House of Representatives and the Senate to remove all federal support for abortion .* 1

In recent months we have seen how these nations are developing a global union. You can also see how one of these powers stands out among the rest in both the political and the religious arena. It seems so small but yet has a strong voice and growing influence. Here are some of those agreements:

• Russia and the U.S. * 2
• Nuclear arms agreement
• Russia and India * 3
• Economic Agreements
• Military Agreements
• Nuclear energy Deal
• Russia and the Vatican * 4
• Improve political relations
• Establish embassies
• Improve religious relations
• England and the Vatican * 5
• Improve political relations
• Improve religious relations
• Vietnam and the Vatican * 6
• Improve political relations
• Germany and the Vatican * 7
• Solving major world issues
• Vatican and the United Nations * 8
• Promoting greater interest in human dignity, including:
• Economic cooperation to resolve the crisis
• Monetary commitment to feed 1 billion people
• Commitment to combat climate change

I won’t enter into further speculation concerning these agreements. I only emphasizes that such cooperation can only have a single overall result. Eventually one of these powers will be granted the ultimate authority to combat the global problems.

The Biblical prophecies so indicate and recognizing that we are in the final days of the history of this world they will soon be fulfilled because the second coming the Lord is at hand.
