A modern equivalent has been happening for some years. Rev. Sun Myung Moon of the Unification Church claims that Christ failed in His mission, and that he himself is the "new messiah" who has come to finish the job and to 'unite the world through uniting religious forces.' Almost all of the well-known evangelical 'Christian' leaders and their organizations are beholden to him. He takes his work seriously and as a billionaire has targeted these influential leaders with the hook and bait of bailouts, grants, political power, prestige, etc. He brings them what they lust for while unifying them through his related organizations: the Council of National Policy, the Coalition for Religious Freedom, the 'Council of 56 of the Religious Roundtable' and others.

It is here that he associates them with the leadership of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Council for Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, Freemasonry; all closely tied to the Bilderbergers. This shadow government is joining the leaders of apostate religions together as a false prophet of unity to masses of Christians who don’t know they as a harlot are being sold into bondage to the beast. History repeats as the apostate leaders are set at Constantine's round table to build an end time Catholic (Universal) Church. In like manner, Babylon took the leadership of God's people captive and made a covenant with them. (Ezk.17:12) Say no to the rebellious house… Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and brought them to him to Babylon... (13) and he took of the seed royal, and made a covenant with him... (We will look at this 7-year covenant in detail in chapter 15 of our book Hidden Manna.) Notice that the whole False Prophet leadership is called “him,” as a corporate body. The nations with Babylonish U.S. “great eagle” at the head bait and hook this false prophet leadership of God’s New Testament people into a covenant with the other false religions under the U.N. (Ezk.19:8) Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces; and they spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit. (9) And they put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon…

How do these 'great men of God' justify taking a bribe to be associated with a known antichrist?  In the beginning one of them said, "If the American Atheists Society or Saddam Hussein himself ever sent an unrestricted gift to any of my ministries, be assured I will operate on Billy Sunday's philosophy: 'The Devil's had it long enough, and quickly cash the check.'"  Of course Jesus, Whom we aught to be quoting, turned the devil down when offered the same thing. More recently this man said that Moon is "An unsung hero to the cause of freedom, who is to be commended for his determination and courage and endurance in support of his beliefs." One congressman who was in their council proudly said of their political power in the '80s, "I predict that one day before the end of this century the Council [for National Policy] will be so influential that no President, regardless of party or philosophy, will be able to ignore us or our concerns or shut us out of the highest levels of government."  You see, their lust for money and political power will be undoing of them and their followers.

{2 Cor. 6:17} Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you. These major groups are joining house to house and woe be unto those true disciples who are found on the outside looking in. {Isa.5:8} Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land! {9} In mine ears [saith] Jehovah of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate (without God), even great and fair, without inhabitant.  The question is what happens to the disciples who have "Come ye out from among them" and are "alone in the midst of the land"?  Moon threatened these loners on August 4, 1996 saying, "Americans who continue to maintain their privacy and extreme individualism are foolish people... The world will reject Americans who continue to be so foolish. Once you have this great power of love, which is big enough to swallow entire America, there may be some individuals who complain inside your stomach. However, they will be digested."  A strange thing is that the Senate investigation into the ministries that have obviously plundered God's people doesn't seem to include anyone in the organizations above, even though they are also guilty of this. Do you suppose they are being "digested"?  They are making an example and sending a message. Maybe they will join now.

It appears that they will attempt to digest us too. In the few days that I was preparing the above research I received a dream from a sister in Singapore, whose dreams have been very accurate and did not know I was researching this. It was confirmed to be from God three times. Here is a portion of it: "I saw people had papers and they were registering to enter David's university which was called "The University of  God's Refuge." I also saw people pulling out their children and grandchildren from the worldly universities and joining The University of God's Refuge. I heard the conversation of a man and his pastor who had followed him there. This pastor was full gospel and he was telling this man not to pull out from his church and go to David’s university. He said that David’s university had no looks, no education, no credentials, no accreditations and basically he and his university were "UNKNOWN." (Jesus first came as an unknown and His credentials were questioned. (Jn.7:15) The Jews therefore marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? Meaning, 'He didn't get His degree or credentials at our Bible College and He has no beautiful looking synagogue or temple so we don't accredit Him.') But the man told this pastor that David taught things from the Word of God which he had never heard before. This full gospel pastor was very angry… and I saw him call many other pastors one by one and ask whether they knew David Eells. They too had never heard of him and were also angry that he was stealing their sheep. I heard what seemed like a council of pastors who were against David. They were arranging to go against him and his ministry." Could this symbolize the Council of the Religious Roundtable?

An assortment of other ecumenical movements are working on the whole religious world to bring this unity to pass. The United Religions Initiative (U.R.I.) is putting together a U.N. of all religions worldwide called the United Religions (U.R.) in their hope of bringing peace. Like Constantine, George W. Bush, along with influential people like billionaire George Soros, the Dalai Lama, and Rev. Sun Myung Moon, have thrown their weight behind the U.R. All of this is in preparation for a U.S./U.N./U.R. Roman Empire. The World Conference on Religion and Peace (W.C.R.P.) is another such ecumenical organization. The World Council of Churches (W.C.C.) is an ecumenical consortium of apostate Christian denominations. These large organizations are making preparations for a one-world harlot. This uniting of religions in one covenant will become official when the beast “shall make a firm covenant with many for one week.”

The Millennium World Peace Summit at the United Nations from August 28th through 31st, 2000, was said to “form a permanent council of religious leaders to advise the U.N. on preventing and settling disputes.” There it is! Exactly what Constantine did the U.S./U.N. is doing. 1000 of the world’s leading religious and spiritual figures were there. Representatives of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Shintoism, Spiritism, Taoism, Jainism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Confucianism and indigenous religions were there. Notice there are 13, which is the number of rebellion and apostasy. These call themselves “The World Council of Religious Leaders.” This is leading to the head of the corporate false prophet beast in Revelation 13:11 and their body is the puppets in the pulpits. In Jesus’ day the head was the Sanhedrin, a corporate false prophet, which ruled over the body of apostate religious leaders of the harlot Israel. Ahab ruled the northern 10 apostate tribes as a type of the beast kingdom. Under him, Jezebel, the harlot, ruled Israel by 850 false prophets. In this same way the U.S./U.N./U.R. covenant will empower the first one-world religious harlot in an attempt to control the peoples of the world. (Rev.17:15)…The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
