64 page booklet
Christian unity between denominations is a popular subject in the world today. The purpose of this booklet is to relate the subject of church union with God’s plan over a large span of time. Jesus’ parable of the wheat and tares is examined in the light of history, seeing that both a true and false church has existed through the ages. The fall of “Babylon” is examined and the call to “Come out of her my people” is explained (Rev. 18:4).

The booklet begins by addressing the growing momentum toward church union and ecumenical cooperation, particularly within Protestant and Catholic institutions. It frames this trend not as a spiritual revival, but as a prophetic development foreseen in Scripture. Rather than being inspired by truth and divine guidance, these movements are seen as motivated by:
Fear of secularism and atheism
Desire for power, influence, and survival
Compromise on biblical doctrine in favor of outward unity
The booklet asserts that this movement toward church union fulfills biblical prophecy about the emergence of a false religious system aligned with the Antichrist.
A large portion of the booklet is dedicated to tracing the falling away of the early Christian Church, referencing Paul's warning in 2 Thessalonians 2:3—“that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first.”
It outlines how the Church gradually transitioned from:
Spiritual purity and apostolic teachings, to
Organized authority and hierarchical control, and finally,
Union with worldly governments and political powers.
This process led to the rise of the Papacy, which is identified as the central figure in the fulfillment of the prophecy about the “man of sin” and the Antichrist (2 Thess. 2:4). The term “Antichrist” is not limited to one individual, but refers to a system that misrepresents Christ, usurps his authority, and hinders true spiritual development.
The booklet interprets prophetic symbols from both the Old and New Testaments—particularly Daniel, 2 Thessalonians, and Revelation—as pointing to the rise, dominance, and eventual fall of the Antichrist system, which it identifies as ecclesiastical institutions aligned with secular power.
Key interpretations include:
The “Beast” of Revelation 13: A symbol of corrupt church-state union.
The “Image of the Beast”: Representing Protestant institutions patterned after the original beast—forming similar structures and alliances.
The “Ten Horns”: Symbolizing earthly governments that at one point give power to the church system but later turn against it (Rev. 17:16).
This symbolic framework leads to the conclusion that church union movements today represent the rebuilding of the “image of the beast” and a revival of Antichrist-like power.
A central warning of the booklet is against the merging of religious and civil powers, as historically seen in the formation of Christendom. It argues that:
The true Church of Christ was never meant to be an institution that governs nations or wields secular power.
When churches seek favor, influence, or legislation from governments, they betray their spiritual mission.
This mingling results in oppression, corruption, and doctrinal compromise.
Thus, modern movements that push for unified Christian political influence or “Christian nations” are, in the view of the booklet, repeating the mistakes of the past and aligning themselves with the Antichrist system.
The parable of the wheat and the tares (Matthew 13:24–30) is used as a key spiritual analogy. The “wheat” represents true Christians, while the “tares” are counterfeit believers—those who claim Christ’s name but do not follow his teachings. The booklet explains that:
The two have grown together through the Gospel Age.
Now, in the harvest time (end of the age), there is a separation process.
God is calling the faithful out of institutionalized religion to prepare for the establishment of His Kingdom.
This separation is not based on denomination, but on spiritual allegiance and obedience to Christ’s doctrine.
The booklet strongly asserts that the true hope of the Church is the coming Kingdom of God, not earthly political reform or religious dominance. It highlights:
Jesus’ kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36).
Christians are called to wait patiently for Christ’s return and reign.
The uniting of churches today is not preparing the world for Christ, but is delaying or obscuring his true message.
It urges believers to abandon false hopes of restoring Christendom or creating moral societies through ecumenical power, and instead to focus on the coming restoration under Christ’s rule.
The closing sections offer a sobering warning: those who remain part of the corrupt religious systems will share in their downfall. Drawing from Revelation 18:4, the booklet gives this call:
“Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
This is not a condemnation of individuals within churches, but a call to personal reformation and spiritual separation. Believers are encouraged to:
Examine doctrines in light of Scripture.
Reject systems that contradict Christ’s teachings.
Stand apart from church-state alliances that betray the Gospel.
Church Union and the Antichrist concludes with an appeal to remain loyal to Christ alone, resisting the appeal of institutionalized unity and outward religious power. It views these modern alliances as a prophetic fulfillment of end-time warnings, designed to test the faithful.
The true Church, it says, is not united by denomination, creed, or political influence—but by shared faith, truth, and character development under Christ’s headship. The coming Kingdom of God, not ecclesiastical consolidation, will bring about the blessing and unity of all mankind in righteousness and peace.
