The book of Revelation tells us that in the end times, a confederacy will rise up and seek to gain control of the nations:

And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty (Revelation 16:13-14, emphasis added).

This confederacy, led by Satan, will attempt to turn the whole world away from God in preparation for the final battle. The world is already being drawn into unity under the Papacy. But how will the nations be convinced to give up their rights and accept the fascist regime the confederacy has in mind?

The Papacy's Plan

Rome is a strong supporter of sustainable development and the environmental movement.

In his address to diplomats from more than 170 nations accredited to the Vatican, Pope Benedict expressed concern about the failure to reach agreement on climate change at the Copenhagen summit last month.

Pope Benedict considers safeguarding the environment a moral issue. He has been dubbed the "green pope" for his increasingly vocal concern about protecting the environment. He told the diplomats that in order to cultivate peace, one must protect creation.ⁱ

Why is the Pope such a big fan of environmentalism? Global warming and climate change have been the perfect platform on which to build a global regime. The impending doom taught by environmentalists has frightened citizens into handing over their rights.

In a 2007 letter to Archbishop of Constantinople Bartholomew I, Pope Benedict XVI called attention to the "grave" issue of climate change:

Preservation of the environment, promotion of sustainable development and particular attention to climate change are matters of grave concern for the entire human family...

Your Holiness, the international and multi-disciplinary nature of the symposium attests to the need to seek global solutions to the matters under consideration. I am encouraged by the growing recognition that the entire human community—children and adults, industry sectors, States and international bodies—must take seriously the responsibility that falls to each and every one of us (emphasis added).ⁱⁱ

In August 2009, Benedict also reminded the world that it must join together with the Roman Church in promoting environmentalism in order to "protect mankind from self-destruction."ⁱⁱⁱ

But fear is not the only emotion being called upon to build support of the global regime under environmentalism. Green Peace and other organizations have also succeeded in making sustainability and "green" living fashionable. Businesses and individuals are under pressure from their peers to make earth-friendly choices.

Amidst the fear and excitement climate change has caused, few seem to notice the diminishing freedom and increased global control.

How should we respond to this news? Is there any hope?
