One World Religion

On Wednesday nights we are studying the book of Revelation. In chapter 17 when it mentions the Great Harlot it is speaking of a world religion dating back to the Tower of Babel, through to Nebuchadnezzar, to our day to the end times. This world religion is based in the thought that there is not one way to God. Your way, my way they are all the same.
Here is a link to an article in USA today that shows how prevalent this thinking is in our day.

1 John 4:3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

2 John 1:7 Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
2 John 1:8 Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.

The end of chapter 17 gives the "rest of the story" The anti-Christ will turn on the Harlot and kill her. He will set himself up as the only one to worship. This is what the devil has desired all along. He uses a water-down religious system to lead people toward worship of himself.
