European Union Tower of Babel Poster
The Vatican and the Russian Orthodox are looking towards more ecumenical cooperation to reverse what they consider to be the tide of secularism in Europe:
VATICAN LETTER Dec-11-2009
Ecumenical allies? Orthodox, Catholics take aim at European secularism...
Archbishop Hilarion said Europe’s political unification had brought with it the risk of a new pan-European “dictatorship” that would impose a single model of secular humanistic values on all European countries. http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0905462.htm
The Bible clearly warns of a dictator rising up in Europe (Daniel 9:26-27; 11:27-39; Revelation 13), but contrary to the implication of the Orthodox Archbishop Hilarion, this dictator will feign some type of religious background (Daniel 11:36-38). Both Catholic and Orthodox prophecies tell of a time when an ecumenical dictator (sometimes referred to as “the Great Monarch”) will rise up–we are getting closer to that time.
It is the tendency of the ecumenical religious movement to look to politics that will help lead to the rise of a political dictator who is destined to arise in Europe.
A news report shows that the Vatican was pleased with the Lisbon Treaty (for information on that treaty see European empire formed yesterday, but few in America seemed to notice) as it gives churches like it the opportunity to influence Europe:
Catholic Church reminds EU that Lisbon Treaty gives it arm-twisting statusDec 4, 2009The Lisbon Treaty came into effect this week, and first to celebrate was the Catholic Bishops Conference (COMECE) which issued a press release reminding EU members that religious groups — particularly the Vatican — are coming to claim the privileges that the Treaty promises them.
The Press Release says: “The Treaty introduces into EU primary law an Article of notable importance for the Churches. By means of Article 17 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU, the EU recognises the identity and specific contribution of Churches and engages on this basis an ‘open, transparent and regular’ dialogue with them. Thanks to this Article, Churches and religious communities will be able to strengthen their Dialogue with the European Commission, Council and Parliament and so contribute more efficiently to reflecting on European policy. Inspired by Catholic social teaching and strengthened by their background experience, Churches will be enabled to pursue a critical and constructive Dialogue with EU decision makers on the policies put forward by the EU.” http://www.secularism.org.uk/116177.html
The Bible warns of a coming European Beast power ridden by an ecumenical church (Revelation 17:1-3). Events are lining up on a regular basis for these and other prophecies to be fulfilled.
Russian and other Orthodox should not try to unite with the Vatican and Catholics should not try to unite with the Orthodox as the Bible warns against this upcoming ecumenical religious power.
Furthermore, private prophecies from both Orthodox and Catholic mystics suggest dire consequences as well.

Comments
"Daniel 9:26-27; 11:27-39; Revelation 13"
Can you please tell me how these point to Europe, and a dictator? I looked them up and it mentions neither.
I think we have already had our European dictators in Napoleon and Hitler
I suggest you read the prophecies of St. John Bosco especially the one about great ship.
Does that explain how Europe is derived from those Bible verses?
Jousting at windmills -- this makes no sense whatsoever.
Very interesting viewpoints; thank you for sharing. I would like to ask, however, in good faith: how would you be able to differentiate between an honest attempt at healing the Great Schism of 1054, and the sort of diabolically-inspired ecumenism you're certain is occurring right now? Do you think it is possible, in fact, to unite the Eastern and Western Churches again in a divinely-sanctioned way?
To Sentinel: The Roman Empire was the people that fulfilled Daniel 9:26 historically according to Matthew Henrys Commentary and the Wycliffe Bible Commentary (Catholic prophecies also concur). The new European Union is modeled after the "Holy Roman Empire", hence that is the connection.
To Michael Lujan: I am not questioning the motivations of those involved in ecumenical discussions, only pointing out that biblical and non-biblical prophecies suggest that this will be a disaster.
