The plans to achieve the "New World Order" require a "Universal Religion". The Steps leading to that end are described in this document. They will be kept general so as to accommodate the necessary corrections of course as the plan is implemented.
First, however, we must identify the "players".
There are three major forces at play in the sociopolitical and religious stage. The boundaries between each general group are not sharply defined. As individuals, unaware of the real objectives of the group or subgroup that they form part of, become illuminated by the Holy Spirit of God, they abandon it and join forces with the "people of God". Therefore, to spiritually profit from this document, avoid the temptation of classifying yourself as you read through it.
The Groups
[A] The "humanists". Regardless of the multitude of banners under which they march and the faiths they profess, their common thread is that: Only through the non-discreet action of Man, and not of God, will peace and harmony will eventually reign in this world.
[B] The "fundamentalists". Once again, regardless of the multitude of banners and faiths under which they march, their common thread is that: Only through blindly obeying and fanatically enforcing what they interpret as the Will of God, will peace and harmony will eventually reign in this world. This is just a variant of [A] above.
[C] The "people of God". Those to whom God has given the light to understand that the only way to achieve a measure of peace and harmony in this world is to live in loving partnership with God; where the virtue of charity reigns supreme and justice is dispensed in accordance to the greatest attribute of God : Mercy.

Dont you think that as religion get constantly diluted and more and more bad press that the future is not about creating a universal religion but Universal materilism.
Money, wealth and status is the new social standard by which the majority of people judge and look up to.
This is whats wrong with the world and creates a selfish dog eat dog world, with total lack of awareness of other people and their needs.

However, as the typical story goes, or how it's supposed to go anyway, is that there is supposed to be a Forced Religious Ideal that all are made to follow like it or not.
I feel that the way ID cards are being made slowly but surely compulsary in the UK with biometrics, It will soften the way for enforcment of an always on traking device that will replace money and credit cards and anything else they want to add.
This enforcement will be the only way to buy food etc... It will be eventually an acceptance to a material world which will be totally controlled. It will be a quasi religion that you will be forced into accepting, because without it you will not be able trade, buy, sell etc

Helen, I'm not saying you're wrong or anything. You obviously have done your homework here. I just don't see it being that simple. What about all the Buddhists, Hindu's, Athiest's, and so on. Or the people who believe in Aliens being Gods and all that stuff. Some may be fooled but not all, and I can't see them following along with a One World Religion or following the Scripture of a Religion that they do not even believe in. You see what I'm saying? For centuries one Religious group or another has been trying to get All People to follow their way, and it has never worked. Not only that but it's been total Hell on Earth trying to make it work. Or is that the whole point? Is he supposed to cause those who follow him to war against those who don't or is it just against Christian's that know the truth? I just don't see it being that smooth of a change when the world is split religiously by more than just "Judeo-Christian" and "Non-JC". I imagine a whole bunch of people saying "Anti-Christ?? What the hell are you talking about?? I don't follow Western Judeo-Christian beliefs. I'm Taoist, Buddhist, Hindu, Athiest, Sun Worshiper, Nirubian(sp?), etc."
What about them?
EDIT: HEY YOU BEAT ME TO THE PUNCH!!

The New World Order will require a NEW Religious system .......
When all is ready the Antichrist will comeas a man of great thinking and worldly teaching(Jesus Christ came for the sinners,to help them understand why He needed to come in the flesh and save all mankind)
The Antichrist on the other hand,will come to set up a WORLDY System based on a N.W.O....he will deceive the religious leaders in believing that he is God........he will show only what people want him to....he will do miracles,he will pretend that he cares for humanity and give the people what they wish(in a wordly sense...not for eternity...SOUL)
He will IMITATE CHRIST so that people BELIEVE he is God.....
All this will only be EXTERNAL....
How will we know that the Antichrist has come???
He will be raised secretly and when the time is right(around the age of 30 -33 )he will show himself as one who comes to solve the worlds problems,he will gain recognition real fast because the people wont see through his LIES AND DECEPTION .......The whole world will know him as a kind,considerate person.....those that do not know his true intentions will be fooled into thinking that he is God ........We know that Jesus Christ came to save mankind and was crucified and became the NEW ADAM and His Mother Theotokos(Christ bearer) became the SECOND EVE......Adam and Eve were the first created by the Hands of God,and the Breath of God gave life and the SOUL....
Jesus Christ had to come to save man because the first created beings, had disobeyed God......In vain some people wish to interpret the 'fall into sin' as allegory,that is, that the fall into sin consisted of the physical love between Adam and Eve, forgetting that the Lord Himself commanded them,'''be fruitful and multiply...'''
Moses clearly recounts that,''Eve first sinned alone,and not TOGETHER with her husband''.
The result of their fall into sin..tore the soul from the spirit, and the soul,as a result, began to be attracted to the BODY,to the FLESH,and to depend on it.
The body, losing its former power of the soul and itself a creation from nothingness, began to have attraction to sensuality,to emptiness, to DEATH......
Therefore the result of sin is illness,destruction,and DEATH.
The mind of man was darkened, the will weakened, the feeling distorted, conflicts arose, and the human soul lost purposeful striving towards God.
Therefore ,it was necessary for God Himself to come down and dwell upon the earth.The incarnation of the Son of God was necessary for the RESTORATION of the fallen and corrupted nature of man,to save man from damnation and ETERNAL DEATH....
In order not to violate the WILL of man,it was necessary that fallen mankind be restored by Compassion and by LOVE, so that man would wish Voluntarily to return to GOD, and not by FORCE nor Necessasity,for then men would not be worthy children of God.
According to the preternal mind of God, men must become like Him Himself, and sharers of eternal,blessed life with Him.
The Lord God did not count it Unworthy of Himself to come down to the sinful earth,to take upon Himself our FLESH, injured by SIN ,and to save us and return us to the paradisiachal blessedness of eternal life..
Man not knowing the Scriptures and the teachings of the Apostles will be fooled into believing that God has come again for the SECOND time to save mankind....
When Jesus Christ comes all eyes shall see Him coming in the clouds with the SIGN of man....The CROSS....
When you here that Christ has come ,then you know it is the Antichrist.....
Sorry for getting a bit off the subject.....
NEW WORLD ORDER and the NEW RELIGION.....yes it will happen and many will see it as a good thing......
That is why in Revelation it says ....."I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18).
So likewise ye, when ye shall see alt these things know that it is near, even at the door. (Matt. 24:33)
Having received power and authority from Satan (Rev. 13:2) in return for his complete submission to him (the very temptation Christ withstood in the wilderness), Antichrist will secure his position as world ruler.
This is described in the prophecy of Daniel which indicates that "kings shall arise." Of these, seven will readily submit to Antichrist while it will be necessary to subdue another three by means of military force.
This explains the portrayal of Antichrist in the book of Revelation as "a beast...having seven heads [those rulers who submitted voluntarily] and ten horns' [the ten kingdoms].
At the same time, by reason of his tolerance and false sanctity, Antichrist will be proclaimed the spiritual leader of all religions. He will show partiality towards Christians, "promising them every sort of protection in return for their acknowledgment of his leadership." "Those not comprehending Christianity will see in him a representative and champion of the true religion and will join with him" (St. Ephraim).
Once he is proclaimed world ruler, Antichrist will begin to demand worship for himself, the man-god, in place of the worship of the God-man, Jesus Christ.
Those who remain faithful to Christ will incite his wrath "and then this serpent will become proud in his heart and vomit forth his bitterness" (St. Ephraim).
His first victims will be the two prophets who, by reason of converting many Jews to Christ, will evoke the most intense malice. "And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them and kill them" (Rev. 11:7).
Their murder will signal a fierce persecution of Christians. They will be forbidden to serve Divine Liturgy and the Church will hide itself in the catacombs. "My sacrifice and drink offering shall be taken away; and on the temple shall be the abomination of desolation" (Dan. 9:27).

Hi Helen
I certainly have not read all your posts everywhere that you have done so I could have missed the answer to this question. On all the posts I've read of yours you come real close but I've never seen you state this plainly.
That each person, individually has to accept Christ's sacrifice on the cross(death, burial, resurrection for their sin)of their own free will to have their sins forgiven and that puts that person in a restored relationship with God.
Is that what you believe?
