One of the end-time prophesies is that the Anti-Christ will bring forth a one-world religion (Revelation 17:1-18). We’ve heard this and seen it portrayed in books and on the big screen in movies like Left Behind. 

I must tell you that there are many people deceiving multitudes, even Christians. And this one-world religion is gaining momentum as we move closer to the end. Not long ago, I noticed a bumper sticker that caught my attention. Immediately, I knew I was looking at something very scary. I’ve seen it many times since, so wanted to share my findings. The bumper sticker looks like this… 

The word coexist is clear, but the letters have been replaced with symbols. First, here are what the symbols stand for…

C – the star and the crescent moon represents Islam
O – the peace sign represents the pagan Wiccan pentacle
E – the male/female sign represents gay rights or gender equality
X – the star of David represents Judaism
I –  the “i” is a symbol representing paganism or witchcraft 
S – the “s” is the Chinese yin-yang symbol 
T – the cross represents Christianity

Initially this sign represented just the three big religions: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. Since then, the other symbols have been added. Those who promote this want people to believe that all religions are equal and that they can coexist together. Well, this is not what the Bible teaches. Christianity is not equal with other religions because Jesus rose from the dead and He tells us that HE is the only way to heaven, to eternal life. Other religions simply do not worship the same God as Christians.

Here’s what the Bible teaches:

Jesus said, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:6

And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by
which we must be saved.
Acts 4:12

After Jesus ascended back to heaven, Paul tells us that “God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11).

So, do you understand how Christians cannot support coexisting with other world religions? One day, everyone – whether they were for Jesus or against Him – will bow their knees and declare His Lordship. They will speak it out loud. 

But for those who submit to His Lordship now, while on the earth, will be totally amazed and in awe in His presence when we finally see Him. Imagine that! 

Friends, let me remind you that Satan is alive and he’s subtle, deceptive. He comes in sheep’s clothing, but underneath, he’s a wolf. Many have already fallen for his lies and they continue to lead others astray. So, don’t be deceived.

Here’s my encouragement for you today: make sure to study the Bible and do as John tells us: “test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1). 

This bumper sticker is just one of many false things floating around today. Stay alert. And ask the Holy Spirit to awaken your spirits to truth.

Please share this with others!
