World Council of Churches & The New Age Movement ( p . 97 )
The Bible teaches us that during the Tribulation there will be a one-world religion . There is going to be one powerful overarching religious force and the Antichrist will make a pact with these religious people . In Revelation 17:3-6 , we have a woman who is a prostitute , filled with the filth of her adulteries . She represents a group of people who have left the true and living God . Is there a movement now towards one-world religion ?
Even now there is a movement afloat to merge to one-world : it is the World Council of Churches . Their plan is to bring all religions under one roof . It was started in 1948 and now have 400 million members , half of all Protestant and Roman Catholic people of the world . Their motto is : One World — One Church . ( Paul Lee Tan , 7700 Illustrations , pp . 363-364 ).
In addition to the World Council of Churches , there is the New Age movement . In the New Age movement there is no God , but rather , a Force . " We are to find the Force , and talk with the spirits because we are all gods . There are many ways and they all led to god ." There are more than a 1 / 2 billion New Age believers in the world . It is the fastest growing spiritual phenomena in the world today . New Agers are into unity — total unity — because " we are all gods ." They are for oneness of faith and government .
In Revelation 17:6 it says , " I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus ." The Antichrist will be embraced by this oneworld religion , who I believe will be made up of people in the New Age . They will combine with and will embrace him as their leader . Meanwhile this group of people , these religious people , will feel its their calling to purge from the world anybody who doesn ' t believe what they believe . Christians won ' t buy in to this because its a lie , an abomination .
Peter Russell says in his book The Global Brain : " Every person on the face of the earth is like a cell in the great ' Global Brain .' Some of these cells have gone haywire , however , and have become like cancer cells in the system . These ' cancer cells ' have to be eradicated so that the Global or Universal Brain can live ." ( Johanna Michaelsen , Like Lambs to the Slaughter , pp . 308-309 ).
