 October 23 - Religions in Jerusalem must live in peace, Pope says
 Article: One World Religion

Comment from UTT:
 
The fact that Pope Francis would call the different religions in Jerusalem to unify for peace in the name of Christ is absurd. Certainly this is a stepping stone towards the Antichrist system outlined in the Bible, but not Jesus Christ the Son of God.

Meeting with the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem on Monday, Pope Francis said that the different religions in Jerusalem must live together in peace, preserving dignity and rights so that suffering and violence can end. "The Holy City, whose
Status Quo must be defended and preserved, ought to be a place where all can live together peaceably; otherwise, the endless spiral of suffering will continue for all," the Pope said Oct. 23.

 October 26 - Christian-Muslim Relations Vital
 Article: Ecumenical Movement - Other Religions Uniting With Roman Catholics

Comment from UTT:
 
This article explains the unification of Roman Catholicism with Islam. This of course is not unexpected in light of the fact that Pope Francis has proclaimed that all religions worship the same God and has pushed to unite the religions for the cause of world peace.
 
On Oct. 13, 2017, following Pope Francis' meeting with Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Rafic Harir, the Holy See Press Office released a statement, saying the two leaders agreed on "the value of collaboration between Christians and Muslims to promote peace and justice, taking into consideration the historic and institutional role of the Church in the life of the country and the importance of the Christian presence in the Middle East." In this interview with Aid to the Church in Need, Lebanese Maronite Bishop Michel Aoun touches on the importance of Muslim-Christian relations, as well as the work of the Church in Lebanon on behalf of refugees from Syria.

 October 27 - 'Unbelief' and 'Comfortable' Christianity Fueling Millennial Interest in Occult, Astrology, Pastors Say
 Article: Rising Interest In The Supernatural

Comment from UTT:
 
It should be no surprise that the younger generation is being influenced by the occult and witchcraft in our times. The media and Hollywood's agenda promotes the fallen side of the spiritual realm and scoffs at the Bible as a source of understanding the truth about good and evil.
 
Millennials are increasingly exploring and turning to occultic spirituality and astrology, as statistics continue showing rising numbers of "nones," those who do not identify with any particular faith. This is in part due to a mindset of fear and unbelief and comfortable Christianity, some pastors say. Market Watch reported Monday that the psychic services industry grew 2 percent between the years of 2011 and 2016, an industry now worth approximately $2 billion. Also in recent years, according to Pew, the percentage of people ages 18-29 who "never doubt the existence of God" dropped from 81 percent in 2007 to 67 percent in 2012.

 October 25 - PSA: With Camera Permission, iPhone Apps Can Take Pictures And Videos Without You Noticing
 Article: Technology For A Global Monetary System

Comment from UTT:
 
The days of privacy no longer exist. Technology has created the environment that allows our cell phones to take photos of every move we make and transmit them. This sets up the global "big brother" system the Bible predicts.
 
Whenever you give iPhone apps permission to access your camera, the app can surreptitiously take pictures and videos of you as long as the app is in the foreground, a security researcher warned on Wednesday. Felix Krause, who recently warned of the danger of malicious iPhone password popups, wrote a blog post as a sort of PSA for iPhone users. To be clear, this is not a bug, but likely intended behavior.

 October 26 - Most Brits Think Only 6 of the 10 Commandments Are Relevant Today: Poll
 Article: Unbiblical Christianity

Comment from UTT:
 
It is not only the people in Great Britain that no longer see the Bible as relevant. This has occurred worldwide and even to those who profess to be evangelicals. We are living in the era of last days apostasy.

Most Britons believe that only six of the Ten Commandments are relevant today, and Christians are split over whether some, like the Commandment to not worship other gods, are essential to their faith, according to a new survey.

 October 25 - Cash Is Already Pretty Much Dead In China
 Article: Technology For A Global Monetary System

Comment from UTT:
 
The world is moving towards a cashless society at an incredible rate. This article shows the advancement of a cashless society in China. Bible prophecy is being fulfilled and a world system of control is being established.
 
Mobile pay is taking China by storm and changing daily commerce. The transformation of a society limited to bills denominated in 100 yuan ($15) or less into one where QR payment codes abound was by far the biggest change in mainland China since my last visit four years ago.

 November 1 - Is it weird that Catholics venerate relics? Here's why we do
 Article: Roman Catholic Church And The Last Days

Comment from UTT:
 
This article from a Roman Catholic source needs no comment. It shows how Scripture can be twisted to support tradition rather than how tradition can be elevated above Scripture to support dogma.
 

"We are many parts, but we are all one body," says the refrain of a popular '80s Church hymn, based on the words of 1 Cor. 12:12. While we are one body in Christ, if you happen to be a Catholic saint, the many parts of your own body might be spread out all over the world.

 October 31 - Catholics, Lutherans look toward Christian unity in Reformation statement
 Article: Bridges To Rome

Comment from UTT:
 
The Lutheran church draws closer and closer to full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. The road to Rome continues to be traveled by willing leaders who are being driven by the ecumenical movement that eventually unites all denominations and all religions.
 
The Reformation anniversary gives us a renewed impetus to work for reconciliation, said a statement released jointly Tuesday by the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and the Lutheran World Federation. "We recognize that while the past cannot be changed, its influence upon us today can be transformed to become a stimulus for growing communion, and a sign of hope for the world to overcome division and fragmentation," it said Oct. 31. "Again, it has become clear that what we have in common is far more than that which still divides us." The statement was released to mark the end of the year of common commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.

 November 1 - Under the skin: how insertable microchips could unlock the future
 Article: Technology For A Global Monetary System

Comment from UTT:
 
The implanting of personal identification electronic chips under the tissues of human flesh is becoming more and more acceptable for numerous purposes which fulfills Bible prophecy
 
The microchip is about the size of a grain of rice and usually inserted in the webbing between the thumb and forefinger using a needle the same thickness as used in body piercing. It feels, says insertable technology expert Kayla Heffernan, like getting a drip. Once the needle is removed the incision heals in a few days and the microchip remains, allowing the wearer to open doors with the brush of a hand - provided they only wish to access one particular place.

 Article: Signs Of The Last Times

Comment from UTT:
 
The Yellowstone area is being impacted by another swarm of earthquakes indicating the potential for a major eruption in the future. Other news items indicate that planet earth is beginning to shake in other places such as the Alps in France. Are these signs or indicators of what lies ahead?
 
The October 2017 seismicity in Yellowstone was marked by the ongoing but waning earthquake swarm north of West Yellowstone, MT, contributing 60 earthquakes to the existing catalog of 2,475 events located in the area since June, the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory reports in their monthly update released November 1, 2017.
