commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may<br />

enter in through the gates into the city.” (v. 14).<br />

“Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his<br />

rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.” (Heb 4:1).<br />

May God grant it. Amen.<br />

The unification of all religions<br />

The unification of all Protestant churches and denominations in the<br />

World Council of Churches as well as the unification of the Lutheran<br />

church and the Catholic church are of the utmost priority for its representatives.<br />

In view of the anniversary year of 2017, as a commemoration<br />

of the Reformation, the Vatican is calling for the Lutheran church<br />

to publicly distance itself from the statement made by Martin Luther<br />

that the pope is the antichrist. Specifically in the preface to the Book<br />

of Daniel in the Bible Edition from 1543, Luther alternately called the<br />

pope “endchrist” and “antichrist.” In the Land of the Reformation, the<br />

unity of the one church must be reestablished, they say. The Church of<br />

Jesus Christ, however, is not affected by this: She is already united with<br />

Christ, the Head. “Father, thou in me, and I in them, that they may be<br />

made perfect in one.” Children of God know only one Holy Father, and<br />

He is in heaven. They pray: “Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed<br />

be thy Name.” They abide by the command of the Redeemer: “And call<br />

no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in<br />

heaven.” (Mt 23:9).<br />

This is the time of the worldwide unifications: in economy, in politics,<br />

and in religion. The fourth, the last world power, the Roman empire is<br />

coming into existence before our very eyes, and as it is written, it will<br />

crush the whole earth (Dan 7:23).<br />

The peace process<br />

The Holy Scripture enlightens us in many places in the Old and the<br />

New Testament on the events in the end time. The current worldwide<br />

events clearly indicate that the promised Return of Christ must be close<br />

at hand. All eyes are presently especially focused on what is going on<br />

in the Middle East: on Israel, on Iran, on Syria. The ongoing news coverage<br />

and reports in the media shock us every day anew. The peace<br />

negotiations are becoming more and more necessary, in which also the<br />

Vatican intervenes as the only overall recognized world authority.<br />
