The Vatican Press Office published the following remarks made by the Pope:
• “With great joy and a heart filled with hope, I address you for the first time on the occasion of the World Day of Human Fraternity and the 7th anniversary of the signing of the Document on Human Fraternity by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam Ahmad Al-Tayyeb.”
• “At a time when the dream of building peace together is often dismissed as an outdated utopia, we must proclaim with conviction that human fraternity is a lived reality, stronger than all conflicts, differences and tensions.”
• “By choosing the demanding path of solidarity over the easy path of indifference, they have demonstrated that even the most deep-seated divisions can be healed through concrete action. Their work bears witness to the conviction that the light of fraternity can prevail over the darkness of fratricide.”
• “Let us continue to work together so that the dynamic of fraternal love may become the common path of all, and that the other may no longer be seen as a stranger or a threat, but recognized as a brother or a sister.”
The book of Revelation warns that a time is coming when the world will be drawn into a single global system—uniting political power, religious authority, economic control, and military force. Prophecy portrays a dominant religious power, identified as the first beast, receiving the allegiance of the world, while a second power compels worship and enforces conformity. This authority extends to every nation, language, and people, making participation unavoidable. Identified in Scripture as Babylon the Great and the Mother of Harlots, this unity will not be righteous or led by Christ; it will be deceptive and opposed to the commandments of God.
“And power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” Revelation 13:7.
“These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.” Revelation 17:13.
“For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her.” Revelation 18:3."
