Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad believes -- as do many Islamic extremists -- that the Holocaust is a myth. In fact, I've read where he has actually hired Islamic scholars to help support his view. We may laugh at Ahmadinejad and his so-called "scholars." But, did you know that some of our own so-called "Christian" scholars are saying the same about the Inquisition?

I've often been asked why I was able to be so bold publicly expressing my views about what's going on in the European Union. The answer is I've never been as afraid of  honest unbelievers as I am of the mislead religious. If you recall, it wasn't the beast the Apostle John saw that was drunk with the blood of the saints -- it was the woman who was riding the beast. John wrote:

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed acts of immorality, and those who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality." And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality, and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery, "BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered greatly (Revelation 17:1-6 New American Standard Bible). 

Since John penned these words, God's persecuted have understandably spent a lot of time attempting to identify this woman with some particular time or event. But, what's interesting to me is how in these passages we find the past, present and future all in one vision. This woman is called Babylon, the mother of harlots. This takes us all the way back to ancient Babylon where it is said all the false systems of religion had their birth. We also know by history that the early Christians, those of John's day, suffered a great persecution at the hands of this woman. And, we also know by this vision that someday in the future this same bloody woman will be finally judged for her deeds. In other words, since this woman hasn't yet been judged, we know that her persecution of the saints isn't yet over.

This brings us to today's news. It's being reported that Pope Benedict XVI is calling for a "dialogue among cultures" Read about it here. Do those words sound familiar? If you recall, former Iranian president Mohammed Khatami has been traveling the United States promoting what he calls a, "dialogue among cultures." In fact, Khatami actually heads an organization called the International Center for Dialogue among Cultures Read about it here. You know? Something tells me Pope Benedict's choice of words may not be a coincidence.

Of course, as I've been reporting, Khatami is also involved with another project -- the UN's new Alliance of Civilizations (AOC). Khatami is a founding member and sits on the AOC's High Level Group. That's his primary reason for being in the United States in the first place. Evidently, Khastami attended a High Level Group meeting at the UN's headquarters in New York City.

As a Bible believing American, I'm a strong believer in what we widely call the separation of church and state. I was raised to fear that woman who rides the beast and her false prophets who have horns as a lamb, but speak as a beast. That's why it concerns me when I see our own religious leaders working to undermine the concept. But, in light of Bible prophecy, I guess it's to be expected. They're probably doing it for the same reason so many of our spiritual leaders are oblivious to the other fulfillments of prophecy. They just haven't been taught -- it's the fault of their education.

So, here we find what's said to be a "moderate" Islamic leader calling for a dialogue among cultures. And, he's taking his concept all the way to the top -- to the United Nations. If this isn't an example of a woman wanting to ride the beast, I don't know what is. Evidently, Pope Benedict still has his hands full just trying to get the attention of his immediate authority -- the European Union Read about it here.

 Friends, we should all know where this so called "dialogue" is going. That's why I keep saying we need to be prepared. The woman who rides the beast will have one last fling. And, once again, the blood of the saints will stain the Earth. But, before that happens, the enemy will throw forth his biggest and best arguments and attempt to devour us with his demonic wisdom. He will tell us things like the Inquisition was a myth and we have nothing to fear. And, all the while he's telling us these things, we will see the prophecies coming true.

Such as this dialogue of the lambs.
