Revelation of Jesus 63, Final Crisis 8

The Protestant Reformation made major progress in overturning some of the erroneous beliefs that were enforced upon believers by the Roman Catholic church. The movement led to widespread understanding and acceptance that we are justified by faith alone. It also led to rejecting some of the worst of the false doctrines, such as the mass, the priesthood, the doctrines of confession and penance, the worship of the saints, and the authority of the pope and tradition.

But even though Protestant churches have always refused to enter into communion and fellowship with the Roman Catholic Church, this is changing before our very eyes, as more and more Protestants and Catholics are cooperating on common social and political agendas, and even worshiping together.

What is the glue that is allowing Protestants and Catholics to stick together despite their still considerable doctrinal differences? I would suggest that the most notable factor in fostering this unity is the desire to influence the state in setting the moral standards.

However noble the purpose of influencing the state on moral standards may be, Jesus, through His ministry on earth, taught that the values of the kingdom of heaven should never be enforced. Coercion is never God’s way.

In the last days, as polarization becomes acute, an invitation is extended to form a church that is the true bride of Christ. God’s children, scattered in all kinds of Babylonian systems, all those who reject coercion and condemnation of others and choose the way of love and mercy are invited to: “Come out of her My people, so that you do not take part in her sins and so that you do not receive of her plagues” (Revelation 18:2,4).

The Final Crisis picks up where the Revelation timeline took its detour at the end of chapter 11, with the seventh trumpet. In this series, we will study the events relating to the Seven Last Plagues, the Battle of Armageddon, the fall of Babylon, and the Second Coming of Christ.
