Who is the most powerful religious entity in the world today?

[Hobie]

Prophecy told us that this religious entity would come and though it was wounded would recover to great amazement...

Revelation 13:3

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

Prophecy foretold the persecution of the saints by this entity and many martyrs would result...

Revelation 17:6

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

And this religious entity has come out the Roman Empire and not only survived its deadly wound but become what you could class as the most powerful and influential in the world today...

Revelation 17:8

The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

Gods Word is true and history confirms it and we shall see the end results of its corruption of the earth with her fornication and destructive works as given in prophecy...

One problem with that view...who of the papacy gets thrown into the lake of Fire? The first or last pope?

Revelation 19:20 NKJV
Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.

God's Word is true, the rest is our interpretation.

 

[jeremiah1five]

Who is the most powerful religious entity in the world today?​

The answer is man. He is the god of this world as warned by Saul:

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Eph 6:11–12.

Not a bad candidate....I would image you meant the "saved" man....the Church.

Good point. I should have made distinction.
But even disobedient Christians are dangerous.

When the government gets changed, who gets taken out of office.... Its the whole governing body, so like those with the mark will be thrown into the lake of fire. Its that simple and nothing for one to worry unless of course you are in it..

In the Greek, it's singular (an individual) not plural (governing body).

 

[Hobie]

And is the Pope 'singular (an individual)', of course.

 

[Arch Stanton]

And is the Pope 'singular (an individual)', of course.

Which one? Peter? Clement? JPII? Francis?

Took the words right out of my mouth. 'Which Pope?'

Same as it's always been.

God.

Next question???

 

[CrowCross]

Bob got it right....God.

But the second most important??? TRUMP!!! right??

 

[jeremiah1five]

Me. I am the most powerful entity in the 'world' today.
And if more Christians would believe, accept, and practice this the United States would not be in the condition it is in today. Either the Church leads the world, or the world leads the Church.
And right now, it is the world that is leading the Church possessed of the spirit of Jezebel.
When the Constantinian Gentile Church unmoored itself from its Hebrew roots it moored itself to all sorts of idol-worship and fallacy.

I pretty much Agee....the Church has been a sleep.
But, there were Idols and fallacy in the church prior to the "Constantinian Church" as you put it.

By what you are saying here, it sounds like 'the spirit of Jezebel' is the most powerful entity in the 'world' today.
I would at least choose the Holy Spirit, who ultimately will conquer.

Maybe the OP question should be rephrased 'who appears the most powerful entity in the 'world' today'?

There is fallen "princes" such as the prince of Persia mentioned in Daniel who has a dominion over that part of the world.
I would imagine Europe and America have some sort of "demonic" prince Lording over the upper elites controlling those who control people like Obama and Soros.

He's totally insane. Some kind of schizophrenic with megalomania.

Maybe, maybe not. In order for evil to increase, the Holy Spirit must decrease until He is taken out of the way and that man of sin is revealed...

Or the christians continue to do less....

 

[jeremiah1five]

Or Gentile Christians continue to do more, way more, of the wrong more.
