Revelation 17:3-6 speaks of a woman that represents a major religious influence in the time of the tribulations.
"Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. The name written on her forehead was a mystery:
BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus."
According to the extensively-documented book, Two Babylons written by Alexander Hislop in 1853, Roman Catholicism adopted the ancient pagan practices of the Babylonian Religion through many of its customs, rituals, and practices. Although the priests once insisted that only Catholics could be saved, it now finds common ground with religions of every stripe. It firmly rejects the Biblical truth that faith alone in Jesus Christ alone is the only way of salvation (See John 3:16-18, Romans 10:9-13, Ephesians 2:8-9). Hislop firmly believes the Roman Catholic Church and its representative, the Pope, is the woman spoken of in Scripture. As the leader of the one-world religion, the Pope would then be the head of the amalgamation of all the world religions.
The beast (antichrist) will go along with this for awhile, but according to Revelation 17:16-17, "The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority, until God’s words are fulfilled."
A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing
One of the common characteristics of all major world religions is their expectation of someone at the end of the age to come and make everything right again.
Muslims have similar beliefs about the coming of the Mahdi. Differences exist among Sunni and Shiite sects of Islam. For example, Shiite Muslims believe Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Mahdī (born c. July 29, 869) is the Mahdī, an ultimate savior of humankind and the final Imām of the Twelve Imams. They believe that al-Mahdī was born in 869 and did not die but rather was hidden by God (this is referred to as the Occultation) and will later emerge with Isa (Jesus Christ) in order to fulfill their mission of bringing peace and justice to the world.
In Hinduism, Kalki is the tenth and final Maha Avatar (great incarnation) of Vishnu who will come to end the present age of darkness and destruction known as Kali Yuga.
Buddhist eschatology derives from purported Gautama Buddha's prediction that his teachings would disappear after 5,000 years. The "ten moral courses of conduct" will disappear and people will follow the ten amoral concepts of theft, violence, murder, lying, evil speaking, adultery, abusive and idle talk, covetousness and ill will, wanton greed, and perverted lust resulting in skyrocketing poverty and the end of the worldly laws of true dharma. Some time following this development a new Buddha named Maitreya will arise to renew the teachings of Buddhism and rediscover the path to Nirvana. Maitreya is believed to currently reside in the Tuṣita heaven, where he is awaiting his final rebirth in the world.
The similarities among these and other religions beliefs are somewhat striking. The beast (antichrist) will first appear to the world as a Savior at a time when the world is in a chaotic condition and desperately clamoring for a savior. With strong persuasion and satanic delusions, the world will very likely see the beast antichrist) as the one prophecied about in their own scriptures. The beast's true colors will certainly emerge by the mid-point of the tribution period.
Although the above scenario may seem incredible to some, the Blue Beam Project is an initiative that is ready to use state-of-the-art technology to introduce the "world leader" to the world. Each part of the world should be able see and hear from the "savior" prophecied by their own religion. These images will ultimately converge on the beast (antichrist) himself in order for the world to more easily accept the convergence of all religions, which will be necessary for a one-world system to work.
