End Time Education

Morning, earlier this morning, I got excited about education.

And let's just bow our heads and ask the Lord to bless us before we get into our message.

Father in heaven, Thank you today that you can change our characters because we are characters and we need to be changed.

And we need your spirit to draw near to us and not only draw near to us but come within us to create clean hearts and use us to heal a hurting world.

It's interesting this week, it seems like every time I'm about to talk about something the Pope talks about it.

So this week, the Pope had a lecture, a compact, a global compact, he wants people to sign up, a global compact on education.

And perhaps we'll begin with some of his words.

He said that there needs to be a global education system that's created, and it's a compact of education, on education.

And in this video that he released on the COVID-19 and its impact on education, he noted that we are in the midst of an educational catastrophe.

But he did not focus on reading and writing and arithmetic in his message.

Instead, he focused on what he said will create a new universal culture that would serve the whole world.

So the purpose of education is enculturation, and he wants that to actually span the entire world.

In our educational systems, if our educational systems are presently marked by a mindset of replacement and repetition, and are incapable of opening up new horizons in which hospitality, intergenerational solidarity, and the value of transcendence can give birth to a new culture.

Would this not signify that we are failing to take advantage of the opportunity offered by this historic moment?

In other words, COVID-19 is calling for complete re-scripting of education globally.

And notice these words, intergenerational solidarity.

Well, we're gonna get to that in a minute.

And the value of transcendence, well, who is actually transcendent?

Well, we're gonna see that he thinks that he's in that mix.

The partners in the global compact education aim therefore to safeguard and cultivate our common home, in other words, our climate, our climate change, the big thing, protecting it from the exploitation of its resources and to adopt a more sober lifestyle marked by the use of renewer energy sources and respect for natural human environments in accordance with the principles of subsidiarity, solidarity, and circular economy." Whoa.

How many of you are confused at this point?

Well, we're gonna break it down a little bit, okay?

So, notice he's calling for renewal energy sources, he's not calling for everyone to be a vegetarian yet, oh that would solve all those problems, but he's saying stuff about how the educational system has to prepare people to not only combat climate change but also fix the economy.

The Pontiffs stated that radical decisions must be made at certain moments in history, and this is 1 of those moments.

Now I hope that all of you have made radical decisions recently to recommit yourself to the Lord.

And that's the reason we have this institute, because we want to be involved to the very end of time with joyful Christianity.

Amid the present health crisis and the poverty and confusion is its cause, we believe that it is time to subscribe to a global pact on education for and with future generations.

Principles of subsidiarity and solidarity.

How many of you are not so interested in this?

How many of you don't know what I'm talking about?

So I got out my catechism and this is what it means.

A community of higher order should not interfere or interfere in the internalize of a community of lower order, depriving the latter of its functions, but rather should support it in case of need and help to coordinate its activity with the activities of the rest of society, always with a view of the common good.

So basically what he's saying is, there's these higher orders.

Who is it that will help out if things are not going the right way.

Of course, it is the Roman Catholic Church.

The principle of solidarity is a direct demand of human and Christian brotherhood.

So it's a demand of human and Christian brotherhood.

Solidary is manifested in the first place by distribution of goods and remuneration for work.

In other words, we gotta spread the wealth.

We're taking your money, and we're gonna spread it to everybody else.

A form of Christian collectivism that's directed by the Pope.

Now how many of you feel excited about this?

You're ready to sign the compact, knowing a little bit more about it.

Well this is not spoken by somebody who doesn't have influence educationally.

There are 216, 000 Catholic schools, 1, 750 Catholic universities.

This calls for a commitment on the part of families, communities, schools, universities, institutions, religions, governments, and the entire human family.

So the training of mature men and women had Dukkari character.

Pope Francis declared that he and his partners are committed to implementing this plan within all of our countries.

And the Holy See's contribution alone would not be negligible.

According to the Global Catholic Education Report for 2020, over 62.2 million children are currently educated in Catholic schools.

So who is he gonna have help him implement this since you guys have not signed the compact yet.

Well, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO, also took part in yesterday's event, and a message by Audrey Azoulay streamed to the audience, in which she expressed her gratitude to the Pope Francis for his commitment to peace, education, and the role of the United Nations organization can play in his mission.

We're delighted to be a part of the Pontiff's Global Educational Pact because its goals reflect our own.

All right, that's what the Pope says as the end time educational goal, and he actually is having great success with many churches signing up, and many countries, and many religions.

How many think we need to have an educational goal as well?

Now this is not new for the Pope, calling for a centralized control system when he came to America in 2015.

He said there's an urgent need for a true world political authority.

He also said if we can overcome individualism, we truly will be able to develop a different lifestyle and bring about significant changes in society.

In other words, if you just do what I say, we can change things.

And as they listened to him at that time, they said, Pope Francis wants to be president of the world.

In Latin America, Africa, and elsewhere, the Catholic Church is in competition with Islam and, what?

But as of late, the Protestants have not been really protesting that much.

In fact, they're signing up to the global compact.

Ellen White is speaking about this, said the people of the United States have been a favored people, but when they restrict religious liberty, which is exactly what signing that compact would do, surrender Protestantism and give countenance to potpourri, a measure of their guilt would be full, and national apostasy will be registered in the books of heaven.

The result of this apostasy will be national ruin.

It's not a question of whether it's gonna happen, it is gonna happen, it's just when.

And all of the statements by the current person by the Tiber River there are in line exactly with what has been predicted, which makes it kind of exciting because there's also predicted what God's people will be doing.
