The main figure in the entire bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is Jesus Christ, He is foretold in the Old Testament and revealed in the New Testament. The bible says about Him that He is the ‘express image’ of God and that He is God ‘manifest in the flesh’. Not only that, Jesus is the ‘name above all names’, and is the name to which ‘every knee shall bow’ and ‘every tongue confess’ that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of the Father. Jesus, the bible tells us, is the ‘prince of peace’ without whom there can be no peace. Now, can someone please tell me why Jesus didn’t get even an ‘honorable mention’ in the pope’s prayer in Ur of the Chaldees today?
“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11 (KJB)
Pope Francis in Iraq today, while working to establish Abraham as the central figure in his One World Religion of Chrislam, ‘prayed for peace’ and never mentioned the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ. The occasion was an excellent illustration of the One World Religion we see laid out for us in Revelation 13, 17 and 18 in your King James Bibles.
And what about that ziggurat that everyone keeps talking about, you know, the one where Pope Francis held his Chrislam prayer service today? The Great Ziggurat was built as a place of worship, dedicated to the moon god Nanna in the Sumerian city of Ur in ancient Mesopotamia. It is here that ritual child sacrifices took place. Abraham was called by God to leave this place, to turn his back to it, and never come back. So why, pray tell, would Pope Francis chose this as the site of his Chrislam prayer service?
FROM VATICAN NEWS: Pope Francis travelled south from Baghdad to the ancient city of Ur to hold an historic interreligious meeting on Saturday, the second day of his Apostolic visit to Iraq. The set-up was stark, but poignant: a simple, tent-like structure, with white drapes to protect participants from the sun, was set up next to Abraham’s house. In the background, the incredibly well-preserved remains of a 4,000-year-old Sumerian temple with adjacent residential complex and palaces known as the Great Ziggurat of Ur.
After the meeting, the Pope gathered in prayer together Muslims, Jews, representatives of Iraq’s Christian Churches, and members of Iraqi religious minorities, including the Yazidis and Sabaeans, who together invoked the Lord for peace, reconciliation and the strength to rebuild the conflict-ravaged nation.
