Saving the environment, the planet (Gaia) has become accepted with the agenda of global warming. religious unity is on everyone&#8217;s mind, for they know without this there can be no real and lasting peace.<\/p>\n<p>The Roman Catholic Church wants to unite the world (and the churches) under Christendom- under the Pope, who claims to be the representation of Christ on earth since he left. There is no question to their unparalleled cooperation with other religions in the last 25 years to forge their goals.<\/p>\n<p>Islam wants to unite the world under a Islamic caliphate wherein Sharia law will rule through its Islamic states. Many Muslims are awaiting and anticipating the 12th Imam Mahdi, the Muslim Messiah will eliminate evil and corruption. He will fight against the enemies of the Muslims (destroy Israel) who would be victorious\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Islam will be victorious over all the religions. (Reefernce: Sideeque M.A. Veliankode, Doomsday Portents and Prophecies (1999) p. 277; Al-Sadr and Mutahhari, prologue, pp. 4,5).<\/p>\n<p>The spiritual movement of the New Age is waiting for the Christ, a world teacher of the Aquarian age. There is excitement in the air. Unbenowest to all, the spirit of the age is moving with such rapid speed to accomplish its goals put in its followers for hundreds of years. Eventually all will converge- into a synthesis not imagined since the Tower of Babel.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.letusreason.org\/NAM36.htm\">Click here to read the rest of this article by Mike Oppenheimer.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Let Us Reason Ministries&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":41,"featured_media":30746,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54,4683],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3087","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interspirituality","category-environment-climate-change","wpcat-54-id","wpcat-4683-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Ripening - Planet Earth Welcomes Maitreya?
