“Pompeo was speaking to Vatican News – the official news service of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication – ahead of the first Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom, taking place in Washington, D.C., from July 24-26.” When asked what role he thought Pope Francis and the Catholic church played in promoting religious freedom, he responded that they “play a central role”, and that it was the work of both the religious leaders and the government to ensure these freedoms for all.
Similar to the sentiments made by House Speaker Paul Ryan (earlier in May), we are witnessing the uniting of church and state. Although now claims are being made to preserve the liberty of conscience, very soon (inspiration has warned us) the religious/political climate will change:
The dignitaries of church and State will unite to bribe, persuade, or compel all classes to honor the Sunday. The lack of divine authority will be supplied by oppressive enactments. Political corruption is destroying love of justice and regard for truth; and even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance. Liberty of conscience, which has cost so great a sacrifice, will no longer be respected. In the soon-coming conflict we shall see exemplified the prophet’s words: “The dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” [Revelation 12:17.] {GC88 592.3}
With such great evidence that this crisis is near, what must we do in order to prepare? During our annual Upper Room Experience camp meeting (Aug. 7 – 12, 2018), we will be discussing these events and more, to find out exactly where we are today (2018) on the prophetic timeline; and what experience must be ours in order to prepare our hearts and homes to go through such a time.
