There has been an orchestrated power shift. We are seeing the rise of the New Rome, the New Caliphate, the Muslim AntiChrist and the Mark of the Beast.
The ruling elite are using “RELIGION” as a means to garner support from the masses. There has been a compound erected in Saudi Arabia designed to bring that nation recognition as a peace maker and to fool the public into believing that there is some kind of spiritual union between the so called Abrahamic Religions as a harbinger of a world wide unity of all faiths.
As you view this post, my prayer is that you will gain more understanding of religion, but more importantly, I hope you will receive revelation of the importance of a true relationship with our Creator.
We are going to look at the completed Abrahamic Family House Complex in Saudi Arabia. One thing I want to make perfectly clear right from the get go, this project and its creators do not speak for ALL Arabs, All Jews or All Christians. Not by any stretch of the imagination. As you will see, they do not even honestly represent themselves.

Apostasy: The Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi, the Noahide Law and the Global Reset
This year, a center for a One World Religion will open in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The Abrahamic Family House will consist of a mosque, church, synagogue, and educational center. The purpose as described by its founders, is to be “a beacon of mutual understanding, harmonious coexistence, and peace among people of faith and goodwill. Through its design, it captures the values shared between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and serves as a powerful platform for inspiring and nurturing understanding and acceptance between people of goodwill.” The Noahide Law is the underlying, universal belief system which must be followed by all!
The vision for the Abrahamic Family House originated after the signing of the Document on Human Fraternity by Pope Francis and Grand Imam Ahmed Al-Tayeb in February 2019. The founder’s document continues, “This landmark will be a place for learning, dialogue, and worship – open to all and a true reflection of the UAE’s belief in tolerance and hospitality. Within each of the houses of worship, visitors will have the opportunity to learn about religious services, listen to holy scripture, and experience sacred rituals.”
Sounds harmonious and peaceful — right? Not so fast! Following are some of the underlying facts:
- Although the UAE constitution guarantees freedom of religion, Sharia Law which is strictly followed, prohibits a Muslim to convert to another religion. Many Muslim clerics believe that coverts (apostates) should be killed.
- Teaching that Jesus is the Son of God and the only God is considered an insult to Allah or the Prophet Muhammad and offenders can be subject to imprisonment for more than five years and fined up to half a million dollars.
- The UAE has adapted a U.N. resolution, prohibiting teachings against Islam, including Biblical teachings, which is considered offensive. Biblical Truth and doctrine is the loser here!
THE JEWISH AND WORLD NEW ORDER?
by Robert Jurjevich
Our Bridge partners, the American—Dutch couple, Robert and Sandrina Jurjevich, have for several decades been living and serving the Lord in the Muslim section of the capital city of Sarajevo, Bosnia.

https://www.bridgeinternational.org/category/bosnia/
Isaac Newton once said, ‘If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”
Rabbi Judah Alkalai (1798 – 1878), born in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Hercegovina, throughout his life prophetically spoke, wrote and worked toward the re-establishment of the land of Israel. He was the rabbi of Simon Loeb Herzl and Jakov Herzl, respectively the grandfather and father of Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern-day Zionism and the ‘Visionary of the State of Israel’. Theodor Herzl stood upon the shoulders of Rabbi Alkalai and saw the restoration of Israel.
The political world order was mainly framed according to the strength and ambitions of various kingdoms and empires. Yet all would change with the assassination in Sarajevo of the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, Archduke Frans Ferdinand, on June 28, 1914. The centuries old imperial world order crashed and there emerged the rise of nationalistic statehood. The prophetic seed that Rabbi Alkalai of Sarajevo had begun planting nearly a century beforehand, broke through the bloody soil of WWI and it seemed that the establishment of Jewish statehood was within reach. Yet the spirit of imperialism was not defeated, and it reorganized itself to not only prevent the rebirth of Israel, but to try and exterminate its children during the holocaust of WWII. The prophetic seed of Jewish nationalism seemingly was dead, yet with resurrection power the dream became a reality on May 14, 1948, with the declaration of Jewish statehood – Israel was once again a nation.
The League of Nations was created after WWI, yet it could not maintain peace in the world. At the end of WWII, the United Nations was formed for the same purpose yet has also failed like its predecessor. The present Russian-Ukrainian conflict again exposes the weakness of the UN structure and threatens to draw the nations into WWIII, possibly even into nuclear exchanges. Once again, the world order is shaken to its core and exposed to coming drastic changes. Amid much turmoil, the Gospel of Yeshua (Jesus) as the Messiah continues to be increasingly heard and received both within Israel and the nations.
Will the United Nations be able to continue in its present form and structure, or will it be supplanted by a new international order? If so, from where does that promise of world peace arise? Over the last 20 years, a movement has begun to emerge within Israel whose aim is to replace even the political usage of the United Nations and to create a uniformed spiritual platform that all peoples, regardless of their religious differences, can be identified and unified by together within a new world order. This ‘new’ world order is a globalism based on ‘old’ Biblical yet universally accepted concepts.
In October 2004, a rabbinic organization was formed to be the transitional phase toward re-establishing the Sanhedrin (www.thesanhedrin.org) – the Jewish religious ruling body based on the Mosaic Law that aims to replace through its 70 Nations initiative, not just the Knesset (the legislative branch of Israeli government), but the UN itself to establish world peace www.theseventynations.org. The benefits for Israel are the rebuilding of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem, the reinstatement of the Jewish priesthood with the animal sacrifices, and the replacement of a secularized government with the Sanhedrin. The benefit for the non-Jewish nations (Gentiles) is a recognition by the Sanhedrin for ‘righteous’ status based not upon the Mosaic Law but upon the Noahide Law (www.noahideworldcenter.org).
What is the Noahide Law? Alleged basic laws of God given to Noah, which applies to all mankind, to all nations – except to Israel, which is given the higher standard of Torah (Law of Moses). There are seven principles which, if a non-Jew will pledge themselves to, the Sanhedrin will declare him as a ‘righteous son of Noah’, meaning Righteous Gentile:
- Do not worship idols
- Do not blasphemy God
- Do not murder
- Do not commit adultery
- Do not steal
- Do not eat flesh torn from a living animal
- Submit oneself to courts of justice (Sanhedrin)
The preparations for this modern-day Sanhedrin fortunately has no authority presently in Israel. He would have the ability to declare any non-Jew giving allegiance to the Noahide Law to be declared ‘righteous’ before God; likewise, any non-Jew not giving allegiance to the Noahide Law would be declared ‘unrighteous’ and face the judgment of death by the Sanhedrin. For Jewish people, the standard for ‘righteousness’ is strict compliance to the Mosaic Law (temple worship with priesthood and sacrifices) once it can be fully reinstated. Messianic Jews (Jewish believers in Jesus the Messiah) would be declared ‘unrighteous’ and face death.
The Noahide movement has gained momentum over the last few decades. Every US president since Ronald Reagan has signed a declaration of US recognition of the Noahide Law. This ‘new’ Sanhedrin movement has established a synagogue beneath the Western Wall in Jerusalem to where foreign leaders can come to sign onto the Noahide Law. The Abrahamic Family House project, which is a complex built in Abu Dhabi housing a synagogue, mosque, and church (www.forhumanfraternity.org) is evidence of the growing focus on removing religious barriers to create a uniform religious identity. Noahide religious centers and fellowships have increased and begun networking together worldwide.
As one who loves Jesus and loves the Jewish people, my heart cries out for an outpouring of God’s Spirit and blessing upon Israel and the nations. At the same time my heart breaks because of the rise of deception, division, destruction, and death (the four horsemen of Revelation 6:1-8) among the nations. We must stay alert, as watchmen upon the wall, standing in the gap through our prayerful intercession for Jerusalem, Israel, and the nations.
From R.K.’s Corner
We are at war! No, here I am not referring to the current war incited by Russia in Ukraine, but a far larger, world wide war. It is an ideological, economic, cultural and spiritual war waged by a global elite of the rich and powerful against Western civilization which fostered prosperity, individual freedom and liberty via the democratic process built on the Judeo-Christian world view. The bulwark which stands as a protection of freedom against tyranny is the Truth, anchored in the moral principles of the Bible. Today, we see a full assault against the cornerstone of Biblical faith – Jesus Christ and the Triune God! The Christian faith must be eradicated for the new Global Reset to take place.
Lack of space here makes it possible to only give a brief introduction to some of the aspects of tyranny which are emerging in a perfect synchronism for the elite to endeavor controlling all human activities, their thoughts and faith, as well as the world’s resources. Please do your own research and ask the Lord where you fit into the ranks of this battle.
The World Economic Forum and the Great Reset
This month, 2000 individuals from among the richest and most influential people in the world will be gathering at the WEF—World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland. Klaus Schwab, its Founder and Executive Chairman is the architect of the ideology that the world is entering a Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) requiring a “Great Reset.”
This “New World Order” requires a fundamental revolution in governance of the world’s population “For the Better Good.” Instead of individual countries governed by democratically elected leaders, “Stakeholder Capitalism” will effectively redefine human beings, not as citizens— free individuals or members of living communities—but rather as secondary participants in a business whose profitability is the only aim in a global, borderless world. At the center of this new governance is WEF, a self selected global coalition of hand-picked and unelected individuals from multinational corporations, governments and civil society organizations whose duty is not to serve the public, but to impose the rule of the 1% on that public with as little interference as possible. The end goal is Global Fascist Totalitarianism, and their tools are many:
1 The new technologies of 4IR rolled out via 5G enable new forms of surveillance to gain full control over all human activities and thoughts: Transhumanism via artificial intelligence, smart tattoos, implanted microchips, biological computing, custom designed organisms
- Covid-19 with its worldwide draconian measures was a special gift—a dress rehearsal for what is to come.
- The new Abrahamic Family House —a One World religion without God!
- Climate Change—rule the masses with controlling regulations and fear of future!
- Equity and Gender—redefinition of the basic structures of the Judeo-Christian family unit: husband, wife, children. Redefinition of what is a human being — what is a man, what is a woman. Dividing the population by redefining the value of a human being based on skin color, rather than his or her character.
- Marxist Fascism—dividing the population in two groups: The Oppressor and the Oppressed based on skin color.
HOW ARE WE, THEN— TO LIVE?
Let us not fear, but stand firm in our faith and convictions, follow the Lord and obey His Word, and be encouraged by scripture verse in James 12:1 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

‘A Beacon of Light’ Indeed: The Abrahamic Family House Opens In Abu Dhabi |
Watch: First look inside interfaith Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi
Complex promoting tolerance houses mosque, church and UAE’s first purpose-built synagogue

Abu Dhabi: Located at the heart of the Saadiyat Cultural District, the three gray-white buildings each look unique, yet appear to share something fundamentally similar. This undeniable similarity between them embodies the shared values espoused by the Abrahamic Family House, an interfaith complex that stands as a testament to the UAE’s tolerant outlook.
Housing a mosque, a church, and a synagogue, the complex was officially inaugurated last week, and welcomed its first worshippers over the weekend.
A Closer Look Inside Abu Dhabi’s Abrahamic Family House
Inaugural services
The inaugural Friday prayer was held at His Eminence Ahmed El-Tayeb Mosque on February 17, whereas the Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue held its first service on February 19, beginning with the hanging of the Mezuzah followed by Mincha, the afternoon prayer. The same day, a service was held at His Holiness Francis Church, presided over by His Eminence Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald, featuring prayers and hymns sung by a choir. The service concluded with a message from Bishop Paolo Martinelli, the Apostolic Vicar for Southern Arabia.
The three houses of worship are open to worshippers, and visitors will be able to take guided tours of the site from the beginning of March onwards. Designed by British-Ghanaian architect Sir David Adjaye, the complex is named after Abraham, the prophet revered by Muslims, Christians and Jews alike.
Shared elements
During a media tour, Musab Mohamed Ibrahim, visitor experience supervisor at the facility, explained that each building is shaped like a cube that is 30 metres deep, 30 metres wide, and 30 metres tall. An interplay of five shared elements is highlighted across the site: water, wood, stone, metal, and light. Beside each one stands a tall pillar illuminating an Islamic crescent, Christian cross and a Jewish menorah, respectively, shining a hopeful light for interfaith tolerance and understanding. (These pillars are idols representing sun worship and communion with the stars/fallen angels/demons.)

I want to ask a very simple but possibly controversial question, what if the Mark of the Beast actually comes out of the middle east.. As I speak to you in 2023, there are thousands of new videos posted each month about a popular new theory on the Mark… Which if you really think about it, is quite hilarious.. The 2020 Vaccine, Cranial Neural Implants, Chat GPT and yes, even common barcode scanners These were all candidates for what people thought would amount to 666 which led many people to selling their homes and far worse But I do not want you to be like these people..

You can rest assured that NO MUSLIM would ever align themselves spiritually with a Christian or a Jew. In their eyes we are isolators. We do not worship the same god. They are interested only in a secular accord. Where they can develop business and build their economy.

The Abrahamic Family House encompasses three separate houses of worship–a mosque, a church, and a synagogue–and a new place for dialogue in Abu Dhabi.
|
“Each house of worship is able to house a set number of worshippers depending on how the space is designated to accommodate worshippers and their specific acts of worship,” he explained.
The houses of worship all lead off a raised central garden, which will play host events and activities. The open space is also designed to allow visitors to enjoy the unique ambience of the facility, and to look out on the various museums coming up on Saadiyat Island.
Eminence Ahmed El-Tayeb Mosque
At the Eminence Ahmed El-Tayeb Mosque, 322 worshippers can stand shoulder to shoulder. The mosque has separate ablution (the act of washing oneself ) .spaces for men and women, as well as separate entrances. A women’s prayer area is separated by a screen.
The façade of the mosque features seven arches, echoing a number that occurs often in Islamic belief and practice. Beyond these arches, Islamic geometric patterns make up a concrete latticework reminiscent of the mashrabiya, a projecting window common in Islamic architecture.
|
MASHRABIYA (Arabic: مشربية). A projecting window enclosed with carved wooden screens located on the second floor of a building or higher. Mashrabiyas are elements of traditional Arab domestic architecture. They provide shade and privacy, and allow for ventilation of interior spaces. Also spelled mashrabiyya. Web resource here. Right: Façade with mashrabiyas, Cairo, Egypt. |
 |
Light penetrates the lattice to a carpeted prayer hall, which includes a mihrab, a niche in the wall facing the direction of the Kaaba in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The imam stands here when leading the prayer. Alongside it is a minbar or pulpit atop a set of steps, where the imam stands when delivering sermons. The ceiling is shaped by pillars that appear to meet at multiple domed intersections.
His Holiness Francis Church
Opposite the mosque is His Holiness Francis Church, with room for 300 worshippers inside. A golden crucifix hangs over the altar, with pews facing eastward towards the sunrise, which is taken by some Christian groups to represent Jesus’ ascent to the heavens. (That is a lie, it is pagan sun worship) Ibrahim explained that the crucifix heas meanwhile been purposefully designed without facial features in order to make the church a welcoming space for Christians of all denominations.
The church façade is made up of multiple straight pillars, with two pillars of different lengths at the entrance to symbolise the ascent and descent of Jesus. Outside this space, triangular pools of water call indicate the trinity that is sacred to Christian doctrine.
A baptistry is located outside the church hall in a structure shaped like a spire, another common feature of Christian architecture. A stone corridor leads inside into a baptismal font, where baptisms can be performed.
Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue
The Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue has room for 280 seated worshippers. Seats are arranged around a raised platform known as a bimah, from which the rabbi reads religious texts during festivals and services.
The crisscrossed stone pillars on the facade, as well as the crossed wooden beams on the seats, are designed to symbolise tent-like structures, which hold special significance in Jewish history. The inside hall of the Jewish house of worship also recalls the inside of a tent, with a metal curtain rising to the centre, and a small opening that looks upon the sky. On the central wall are carved the 10 commandments of the Old Testament, with gold menorahs placed in front to be lit during festivals. A corridor that leads to the central hall includes washing facilities for worshippers to purify themselves, and an alcove is set to house scriptures.
The external compound outside the synagogue also includes a special facility for the ritual mikveh purification bath, and a dedicated education centre.
Ibrahim said the synagogue is the first purpose-built synagogue in the UAE.
“I believe architecture should work to enshrine the kind of world we want to live in, a world of tolerance, openness, and constant advancement. As an architect, I want to create something that enhances the richness of human life. Our hope is that through these buildings, people of all faiths and from across society can learn and engage in a mission of peaceful coexistence for generations to come,” architect Adjaye said on the facility’s design.
Human fraternity
Rooted in the UAE’s values of bringing people and cultures together, the Abrahamic Family House embodies the diversity of Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE, home to vibrant multicultural communities of various faiths. The project was inspired by the principles in the Document on Human Fraternity, signed by His Holiness Pope Francis and His Eminence Grand Imam Dr Ahmed El-Tayeb in Abu Dhabi in 2019.
It was inaugurated on February 16 by Lieutenant General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, and Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence. The following day, Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak delivered the keynote address at the first interfaith conference on peaceful coexistence.
“By establishing the Abrahamic Family House, here in Abu Dhabi, with the strong support of the leaders and the people of the UAE, we hope to work together to enhance our ability to share our values of mutual respect and peaceful coexistence with the entire world,” he said.
“The Abrahamic Family House is a true reflection of the provisions of the Document on Human Fraternity, which calls for ensuring peaceful coexistence. It is a testament to the vision of the United Arab Emirates and its leaders towards promoting interfaith dialogue and peace among all. The Abrahamic Family House is a model of coexistence, reconciliation, and mutual respect for the sake of mankind,” Professor Mohammed Al Mahrasawi, co-chair of the Higher Committee for Human Fraternity, and former President of Al-Azhar University, said at the inauguration.
‘Concrete example’
“The Abrahamic Family House is a concrete example for people of different religions, cultures, traditions, and beliefs to return to the essential: love of neighbour. This will be a place which promotes dialogue and mutual respect, and acts in the service of human fraternity as we walk the paths of peace together,” added Cardinal Miguel Ángel Ayuso Guixot, [resident of The Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue of The Holy See.
“On this historic day, we have gathered to celebrate this remarkable monument to loving kindness – the Abrahamic Family House. From today onwards, let us use this extraordinary and sacred site to promote harmony and peace. In a world in which differences can separate us, let us say here that our shared values shall exist for the sake of our universal aspirations,” said Sir Ephraim Mirvis, chief rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth.

IT’S HERE!!! One World Religion Headquarters | OPEN NOW 😲 Remember when they stated “A One World Religion Headquarters is set to open in 2022. The headquarters will be called The Abrahamic Family House and is being built on an island in the middle eastern city of Abu Dhabi.” Well it’s now 2023 and it is finally here! In this video, we discuss the recent opening of the One World Religion Headquarters in Abu Dhabi, the Abrahamic Family House, and the implications it has for global religion and it’s connection to the end times biblical prophecies. The headquarters, which features buildings for a mosque, church, and synagogue, was built in collaboration with Pope Francis and Sunni Muslim leader, Sheikh Ahmen al-Tayeb, who signed the global peace covenant called the Document of Human Fraternity for World Peace. However, the building’s location in a country where conversion from Islam is prohibited and teaching against Islam is considered blasphemy raises concerns about religious tolerance and freedom. This begs the question: is this the beginning of a one-world religion, as prophesized in the Bible? Join us for a discussion on this prophetic topic.

Abu Dhabi, UAECNN —
The United Arab Emirates on Wednesday inaugurated the “Abrahamic Family House,” an interfaith complex housing a mosque, a church, and the Gulf Arab state’s first ever purpose-built synagogue.
Designed by renowned Ghanaian-British architect David Adjaye, the project incorporates several architectural styles traditionally found in mosques, churches and synagogues around the world.
The structure draws inspiration from the three Abrahamic faiths and is meant to encapsulate their similarities.
The Imam Al-Tayeb Mosque, which is named after the Grand Imam of Al Azhar, the leading authority on Sunni Islam, is oriented towards Mecca. Its windows are made of delicate latticework, called mashrabiya, and are designed to allow for the circulation of air while regulating light and maintaining privacy.
“What you’re going to see in all the projects is that it’s always about a filtering of light, a splitting of light,” Adjaye told CNN’s Becky Anderson.
“In the Mosque… the light surrounds you until you get to the silence and the stoicness of facing Mecca,” he said.

This Crucifix in Abu Dhabi shows a nondescript mass of flesh. It could be anyone. It could even, to the Arabs, represent those they have killed in like manner in the name of ALLAH. Just sayin. That is why they are so willing to be part of this UNHOLY alliance.<
The Crucifix is a Roman Catholic religious symbol. As the Roman Catholics crucify Christ over and over in the MASS, their image of Christ is still on the Cross. The Crucifix is a symbol of DEATH. The Body of Christ, the Followers of Christ, the Born Again Christians’ symbol of the Cross is an EMPTY CROSS…because their FAITH and TRUST is in the RISEN LORD. A symbol of ETERNAL LIFE available to ALL who choose it.
Transubstantiation – the idea that during Mass, the bread and wine used for Communion become the body and blood of Jesus Christ – is central to the Catholic faith. Indeed, the Catholic Church teaches that “the Eucharist is ‘the source and summit of the Christian life. Source
During the Council of Trent (1545–1563), which was the Catholic response to the Protestant Reformation, the Roman Catholic Church renewed with great enthusiasm its commitment to the doctrine, and thus to the conviction that during the Eucharist, God incarnate is indeed eaten. Matteo Al-Kalak — a professor of modern history at the University of Modena-Reggio in Italy — affirms that this concept is still fully embraced in a recent book titled Mangiare Dio: Una storia dell’eucarestia — Eating God: A History of the Eucharist. To say that transubstantiation teaches that God is eaten is not, then, an exaggeration or a misrepresentation. Source
All over the world, on any given day of the week, Jesus Christ’s body is repeatedly sacrificed. According to the Roman Catholic Church, that’s what happens every time they celebrate the Mass—their version of Communion, or the Lord’s Table.
When the priest pronounces the tremendous words of consecration, he reaches up into the heavens, brings Christ down from His throne, and places Him upon our altar to be offered up again as the Victim for the sins of man. It is a power greater than that of monarchs and emperors: it is greater than that of saints and angels, greater than that of Seraphim and Cherubim. Indeed it is greater even than the power of the Virgin Mary. While the Blessed Virgin was the human agency by which Christ became incarnate a single time, the priest brings Christ down from heaven, and renders Him present on our altar as the eternal Victim for the sins of man—not once but a thousand times! The priest speaks and lo! Christ, the eternal and omnipotent God, bows His head in humble obedience to the priest’s command. [1]
The supposed ability to wield such supernatural power over almighty God is one of the priesthood’s most blasphemous acts. As O’Brien describes it, the priestly office is a position of immense, even ultimate power, as the priest yanks Christ out of His eternal kingdom and hurls Him once again onto the sacrificial altar.

For so many reasons and in so MANY ways, the ROMAN Catholic Church does not represent Christendom! The Roman Catholic Church ia a pagan religion that worships the gods and godesses of ROME. Merely the names have been changed to protect the guilty.

His Holiness Francis Church is dedicated to the 13th century monk St. Francis of Assisi, after whom the current Catholic pope is named. It is oriented towards the rising sun in the east. The ceiling is made of timber and is meant to invoke the biblical and Quranic story of Noah’s Ark. (a nod to Noahides)

| St. Francis has been described as a nature mystic,one who finds God in the vast and beautiful fields of nature. Everything spoke to Francis of the infinite love of God.Trees, worms, lonely flowers by the side of the road—all were saintsgazing up into the face of God. Mar 20, 2013 Souce So, we see that St. Francis was a Pantheist. |
|
While Francis rejected the trappings of wealth as a young man, he didn’t reject the world. Unlike St. Augustine whose theology was deeply suspicious of the world and the flesh, Francis preached that the world was an emanation of God and inherently good.Everything in the natural world then, including animals and plants was regarded as the mirror of God.Source |

In the church, “you hear the sound of rushing water,” said Adjaye. “For me, water is so important with Christianity. The church is an ark in the world.”
The Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue honors the 12th century Jewish philosopher known as Rabbi Maimonides. The scholar was also a medical doctor who led the Mediterranean Jewish world and whose patients included Saladin, the Muslim ruler of Egypt and Syria.

The synagogue is the UAE’s first purpose-built Jewish place of worship and, like most synagogues around the world, is oriented towards Jerusalem. It is inspired by the Jewish festival of the Sukkot, which is celebrated by building temporary shelters. An oculus in the ceiling of the space lets direct light come inside. “The light of the mid-day kisses the rabbi in the center very directly,” Adjaye said.

2022 Report on International Religious Freedom for Saudi Arabia
LEGAL FRAMEWORK
The Basic Law of Governance establishes the country as a sovereign Arab Islamic state,the religion of which is Islam.The Basic Law defines the country’s constitution as the Quran and the Sunna and states the “decisions of judges shall not be subject to any authority other than the authority of the Islamic sharia.” The Basic Law contains no legal recognition or protection of freedom of religion. Conversion from Islam to another religion is grounds for the charge of apostasy,which is legally punishable by death, although courts have not carried out a death sentence for apostasy in recent years.
The law criminalizes “anyone who challenges, either directly or indirectly, the religion or justice of the King or Crown Prince.”The law bans “the promotion of atheistic ideologies in any form,” “any attempt to cast doubt on the fundamentals of Islam,” publications that “contradict the provisions of Islamic law,” and other acts, including non-Islamic public worship, public display of non-Islamic religious symbols, conversion by a Muslim to another religion,and proselytizing by a non-Muslim

The Four Marks of the Church
- FR. WILLIAM SAUNDERS
In the Nicene Creed, we profess, “We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church”: these are the four marks of the Church. They are inseparable and intrinsically linked to each other.
In the Nicene Creed, we profess, “We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church”: these are the four marks of the Church. They are inseparable and intrinsically linked to each other. Our Lord Himself in founding the Church marked it with these characteristics, which reflect its essential features and mission. Through the continued guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Church fulfills these marks.
First, the Church is one. The Catechism notes that the Church is one for three reasons: first, because of its source, which is the Holy Trinity, a perfect unity of three divine persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; second, because of its founder, Jesus Christ, who came to reconcile all mankind through the blood of the cross; and third, because of its “soul,” the Holy Spirit, who dwells in the souls of the faithful,who unites all of the faithful into one communion of believers, and who guides the Church (#813).
The “oneness” of the Church is also visible. As Catholics, we are united in our Creed and our other teachings, the celebration of the sacraments, and the hierarchical structure based on the apostolic succession preserved and handed on through the Sacrament of Holy Orders. For example, whether one attends Mass in Alexandria, San Francisco, Moscow, Mexico City, or wherever, the Mass is the same — the same readings, structure, prayers, and the like except for a difference in language — celebrated by the faithful who share the same Catholic beliefs, and offered by a priest who is united to his bishop who is united to the Holy Father, the pope, the successor of St. Peter.
In our oneness, we do find diversity: The faithful bear witness to many different vocations and many different gifts, but work together to continue the mission of our Lord. The various cultures and traditions enrich our Church in their expressions of one faith. In all, charity must permeate the Church, for it is through charity that the members are bound together and work together in harmonious unity.
The Church is also holy.Our Lord Himself is the source of all holiness: “The one Christ is mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in His body which is the Church” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, #14). Christ sanctifies the Church, and in turn, through Him and with Him, the Church is His agent of sanctification. Through the ministry of the Church and the power of the Holy Spirit, our Lord pours forth abundant graces, especially through the sacraments. Therefore, through its teaching, prayer and worship, and good works, the Church is a visible sign of holiness.
Nevertheless, we must not forget that each of us as a member of the Church has been called to holiness. Through baptism, we have been freed from original sin, filled with sanctifying grace, plunged into the mystery of our Lord’s passion, death, and resurrection, and incorporated into the Church, “the holy people of God.” By God’s grace, we strive for holiness. The Second Vatican Council exhorted, “Every Catholic must therefore aim at Christian perfection and, each according to his station, play his part, that the Church, which bears in her own body the humility and dying of Jesus, may daily be more purified and renewed, against the day when Christ will present her to Himself in all her glory without spot or wrinkle” (Decree on Ecumenism, #4).
Our Church has been marked by outstanding examples of holiness in the lives of the saints of every age. No matter how dark the times may have been for our Church, there have always been those great saints through whom the light of Christ radiated. Yes, we are frail human beings, and at times we sin; yet, we repent of that sin and continue once again on the path of holiness. In a sense, our Church is a Church of sinners, not of the self-righteous or self-assured saved. One of the beautiful prayers of the Mass occurs before the Sign of Peace: “Lord, look not on our sins, but on the faith of your Church.” Even though poor frail individual members of the Church fail and sin, the Church continues to be the sign and instrument of holiness.
The Church is also catholic. St. Ignatius of Antioch (c. 100) used this word meaning “universal” to describe the Church (Letter to the Smyrnaens). The Church is indeed Catholic in that Christ is universally present in the Church and that He has commissioned the Church to evangelize the world — “Go therefore an make disciples of all the nations” (Matthew 28:19).
Moreover, we must not forget that the Church here on earth — what we call the Church militant — is united to the Church triumphant in Heaven and the Church suffering in Purgatory. Here is the understanding of the communion of saints — the union of the faithful in Heaven, in Purgatory, and on earth.
Finally, the Church is apostolic.Christ founded the Church and entrusted His authority to His apostles, the first bishops. He entrusted a special authority to St. Peter, the first Pope and Bishop of Rome,to act as His vicar here on earth. This authority has been handed down through the Sacrament of Holy Orders in what we call apostolic succession from bishop to bishop, and then by extension to priests and deacons. If possible, Bishop Loverde could trace his apostolic succession as a bishop back to one of the apostles. When Bishop Loverde ordained seven men as priests for our diocese on May 15, he did so with the authority of apostolic succession, and those men in turn share in the priesthood of our Lord Jesus Christ. No bishop, priest, or deacon in our Church is self-ordained or self-proclaimed; rather, he is called by the Church and ordained into the apostolic ministry given by our Lord to His Church to be exercised in union with the Pope.
The Church is also apostolic in that the deposit of faith found in both Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition was preserved, taught, and handed on by the apostles. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth, the Magisterium (the teaching authority entrusted to the apostles and their successors) has the duty to preserve, teach, defend, and hand on the deposit of faith. Moreover, the Holy Spirit protects the Church from error in its teaching authority.While over the course of time, the Magisterium has had to address current issues, such as nuclear war, euthanasia, in vitro fertilization, the same truth principles exercised under the guidance of the Holy Spirit prevail.
These four marks of the Church one, holy, catholic, and apostolic — are fully realized in the Catholic Church.While other Christian Churches accept and profess the Creed, and possess elements of truth and sanctification, only the Roman Catholic Church reflects the fullness of these marks. The Second Vatican Council taught, “This Church [which Christ founded], constituted and organized as a society in the present world, subsists in the Catholic Church, which is governed by the successor of Peter and by the bishops in communion with him” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, #8), and “For it is through Christ’s Catholic Church alone, which is the universal help towards salvation, that the fullness of the means of salvation can be obtained”(Decree on Ecumenism, #3). Our duty then is to make these four marks visible in our daily lives.

In comments likely to enhance his progressive reputation, Pope Francis has written a long, open letter to the founder of La Repubblica newspaper, Eugenio Scalfari, stating that non-believers would be forgiven by God if they followed their consciences.
Responding to a list of questions published in the paper by Mr Scalfari, who is not a Roman Catholic, Francis wrote: “You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don’t believe and who don’t seek the faith.I start by saying – and this is the fundamental thing – that God’s mercy has no limitsif you go to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience.
“Sin, even for those who have no faith, exists when people disobey their conscience.”
Pope does not believe Jesus was GOD.

When mankind fell we were no longer allowed to be in God’s presence. Sin cannot be in God’s presence and we had become slaves to SIN. We had surrendered our birthright to Satan. God had a solution to the problem but the time would not be right for a long time. So he set up the system of sacrifice to cover the sins of the Chosen people. God established the Priesthood. The priests offered the sacrifice on behalf of the people were under the LAWS of GOD and Judged by the Priesthood. The Priests were subject to GOD and responsible for seeking God’s will and executing it. The rest of mankind was subject to the Fallen Angels. They demanded sacrifice as well, However, instead of the blood of animals, they demanded human sacrifice. They established their own priesthood of evil doers.
Once GOD took on flesh in the form of His only BEGOTTEN SON, he paid the price ONCE for ALL of Mankind. Anyone who chooses to Accept His Sacrifice for their sins. THAT IS THE GOOD NEWS. NO LONGER SLAVES TO SIN if we are under the Blood. NO MORE SACRIFICES!! EVER AGAIN. The PRIESTS did not like GOD’s plan because they had grown accustomed to ruling over mankind. Satan and his servants have fought hard to keep their control over the earth.
The ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, is one of those groups. They love to lord over everyone. The do not want you to know that you can be in Right Standing and in One on One Relationship with the FATHER , Son and Holy Spirit. You no longer need a go between. WE have ONE Intercessor with the FATHER who ever liveth to make intercession for us. Under HIS BLOOD we are secure.
The ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH wants you to believe that you need Saints (who are really the gods and goddesses of the Ancients under new names) and even more so the being they call the VIRGIN MARY MOTHER OF GOD. She is actually the ANCIENT GODDESS who had many names throughout history and among different nations. She is no more the Mary of the Bible than the So Called Saints are true Saints of GOD. The Roman Catholic Church wants you to believe that only by continual Sacrifice and BLOOD SHED, along with penance and suffering and offerings to the CHURCH can you find Salvation.
THE GOOD NEWS, is that you can be FREE! Free from the weight of slavery to SIN, free from continual sacrifice and fear, FREE to call on you HEAVENLY FATHER and KNOW that HE LOVES YOU and ANSWERS your prayers. FREE to find GOD’s plan for your life and to walk in it. THAT IS WHEN YOU WILL FEEL FULFILLED. God created you with purpose. He knows you better than you know yourself. He wants was is good, right and perfect for YOU. YOU can be FREE and FIND PEACE. The PERFECT PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING. It comes from KNOWING HIM and KNOWING that HE is in CONTROL.
DON’T LET ANYONE STEAL ALL THAT FROM YOU!

Pope Francis: ‘Relationships With Jesus Are Dangerous And Harmful’
Pope Francis has been caught on camera attempting to steer his flock away from Jesus Christ, warning that “having a personal relationship with Jesus is dangerous and very harmful“.
Breaking with centuries of Christian tradition, Pope Francis told a crowd of 33,000 Catholics in Rome that“a personal, direct, immediate relationship with Jesus Christ” must be avoided at all costs,raising fears he is an illegitimate pope with a sinister agenda.
Last week Pope Francis told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica that the United States of America has “a distorted vision of the world” and Americans must be ruled by a world government, as soon as possible, “for their own good.”
The week before he also called for “a one world government” and “political authority” ,arguing that the creation of the one world government is needed to combat major issues such as “climate change.”
Speaking with Ecuador’s El Universo newspaper, the Pope said that the United Nations doesnt have enough power and must be granted full governmental control “for the good of humanity.”
The globalization movement cannot be underestimated. It is the process of transitioning the world into a global government and eroding the rights of the individual.World religious leaders, led by the increasingly anti-Christian Pope Francis, are playing their part in this great deception.
David Rockefeller famously said that a “global crisis” would have to occur before the people of the world would be willing to accept a New World Order. Sure enough, when the world economy suffered a dramatic crash in 2008, world leaders again proclaimed the need for a New World Order with global financial control.
[RELATED – WikiLeaks: Clinton, Obama, Soros Installed Pope Francis In Vatican Coup]
As demonstrated by Pope Francis, climate change and the global warming hoax is now the global elite’s preferred method of scaremongering, as they attempt to shepherd humanity closer to unified totalitarian rule.
Pope Francis is determined to steer his flock away from Jesus. The pontiff who held Islamic prayers in the Vatican, and later warned his followers not to enter into a personal relationship with Jesus, is an imposter with a sinister agenda.
The jesuit Pope is a key player in the plan to usher in a New World Order, determined to mislead his flock while catering to the global cabal.
Pope Francis Urges Christians Not to Try to Convert Nonbelievers
ROME — Pope Francis said Wednesday thattrying to convince someone to become a Christian is a “pagan” activity unworthy of followers of Christ.
“To evangelize is not to proselytize,” the pope told crowds gathered in the Vatican for his weekly general audience. “To proselytize is something pagan, it is neither religious nor evangelical.”
“This is not about proselytism, as I said, so that others become ‘one of us’ – no, this is not Christian,” he reiterated. “It is about loving so that they might be happy children of God.”
According to the Cambridge Dictionary, proselytizing means“to try to persuade someone to change their religious or political beliefs or way of living to your own.”
Proselytism — or the attempt to convert others to one’s faith — is different from evangelization, the pope has proposed, which is the joyful witness of one’s experience of Christ.
“You know your contemporaries, you know that many are alone, that many do not know Jesus,” Francis told young people gathered for a national Catholic youth conference in 2019. “Go, go and bring the Lord, go and fill your environments, even the digital, but not of convictions, not to convince, not to proselytize, but to witness to the tenderness and mercy of Jesus.”
The following month, the pope told a group of Christian high school students that they should respect people of other faiths and not attempt to convert them to Christianity, insisting “we are not living in the times of the crusades.”

Asked by one of the students how a Christian should treat people of other faiths, the pope said that “we are all the same, all children of God” and that true disciples of Jesus do not proselytize.
“The last thing I should do is to try to convince an unbeliever. Never,”he said. “The last thing I should do is speak.
“But listen, the gospel is never, ever advanced through proselytism,”he continued. “If someone says he is a disciple of Jesus and comes to you with proselytism, he is not a disciple of Jesus. Proselytism is not the way; the Church does not grow by proselytism.”
The Church grows by attraction, by witness, he said. “Soccer teams can do proselytism, this can be done, political parties can do it, but there should be no proselytism with the faith. And if someone asks me: ‘But why do you do this?’ Read, read, read the Gospel, this is my faith. But without pressure.”

8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

10 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach,except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying,Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized:and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 And fear came upon every soul:and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Matthew 10
7And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils:freely ye have received, freely give.
9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.
13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimonyagainst them and the Gentiles.
19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
20For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.
42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

Pope Frances said:
that non-believers would be forgiven by God if they followed their consciences.
Responding to a list of questions published in the paper by Mr Scalfari, who is not a Roman Catholic, Francis wrote: “You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don’t believe and who don’t seek the faith.I start by saying – and this is the fundamental thing – that God’s mercy has no limitsif you go to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience.
“Sin, even for those who have no faith, exists when people disobey their conscience.”

Matthew 28 / Amplified Bible
18 Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations[help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words],baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,20teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.”

These people don’t care about peace. They don’t have any love in their hearts. They do not care about the state of your spirit or about helping you find GOD. They do not care about PEACE in the WORLD. They have their own motivations and none of them are good. This is ALL ABOUT CONTROL and WHO WILL HAVE THE MOST POWER AND WEALTH when the NEW WORLD ORDER in fully functioning.
If you want to know who does care for you, in TRUTH? TRUE followers of JESUS CHRIST/Yahushua Ha Mashiach!! Followers of the WAY. I don’t like to use the term CHRISTIANS because it has been tossed around and dragged through the filth. But, those who TRULY KNOW GOD and YES, HAVE A REAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM are the only ones who are filled with love. They truly care about You, and your well being here on Earth, and more importantly where you will spend ETERNITY. They care about helping you to find GOD and come to understanding of what the GOOD NEWS means for YOU. IT IS NOT ABOUT DO’s and DON’Ts. When you come to relationship with GOD you will find your desires will change. You will find that which truly fulfills and sin will no longer have a hold on you.
