Roman Catholicism and Islam are the same religion at their core, and they are slowing joining together in these end times. In Revelation 17, we see the 10 horns on the beast takes down the harlot who rides the beast. It is starting to look like these 2 warring groups are going to be the horns of apostate Israel and the Zionist U.S. and their allies defeating the harlot of Rome, Islam and their allies which will bring down the entire world system of Mystery Babylon. Both of these groups are chaff (Daniel 2:35) — they are the world system of strong political iron and broken spiritual clay, and will be destroyed by the stone of God’s kingdom (Jesus and the redeemed saints) on the last day (Daniel 2:34 & 45).
The excerpt below gives a first-hand account of the Rome-Islam connection.
The Account
The following information came from Alberto Rivera, former Jesuit priest, after his conversion to Protestant Christianity. It is excerpted from “The Prophet,” published by Chick Publications. Dr. Rivera’s truths are presented in a comic-style format to appeal to readers of all ages and backgrounds — this series can be purchased from Chick Publications here. You can hear about his story and his book series in this YouTube video.
Since the publication of his book series, and after several attempts on his life, Dr. Rivera died suddenly from food poisoning in 1997 at the age of 67. His testimony is amazing and should not be silenced. This excerpt really brings Revelation chapters 13 and 17 to life.
Rome’s Islam
The following are the courageous words of Alberto Rivera:
What I’m going to tell you is what I learned in secret briefings in the Vatican when I was a Jesuit priest, under oath and induction.
A Jesuit cardinal named Augustine Bea showed us how desperately the Roman Catholics wanted Jerusalem at the end of the third century. Because of its religious history and strategic location, the Holy City was considered a priceless treasure. A scheme had to be developed to make Jerusalem a Roman Catholic city.
The great untapped source of manpower that could do this job was the children of Ishmael. The poor Arabs fell victim to one of the most clever plans ever devised by the powers of darkness.
Early Christians went everywhere with the gospel setting up small churches, but they met heavy opposition. Both the Jews and the Roman government persecuted the believers in Christ to stop their spread.
But the Jews rebelled against Rome, and in 70 AD, Roman armies under General Titus smashed Jerusalem and destroyed the great Jewish temple which was the heart of Jewish worship… in fulfillment of our Lord’s prophecy in Matthew 24:2.
On this holy place today where the temple once stood, the Dome of the Rock Mosque stands as Islam’s second most holy place. Sweeping changes were in the wind.
Corruption, apathy, greed, cruelty, perversion and rebellion were eating at the Roman Empire and it was ready to collapse. The persecution against Christians was useless as they continued to lay down their lives for the gospel of Christ.
The only way Satan could stop this thrust was to create a counterfeit “Christian” religion to destroy the work of God. The solution was in Rome. Their religion had come from ancient Babylon and all it needed was a face-lift. This didn’t happen overnight, but began in the writings of the ‘early church fathers.’
It was through their writings that a new religion would take shape. The statue of Jupiter in Rome was eventually called St. Peter, and the statue of Venus was changed to the Virgin Mary.
The site chosen for its headquarters was on one of the seven hills called ‘Vaticanus,’ the place of the divine serpent where the Satanic temple of Janus stood.
The great counterfeit religion was Roman Catholicism, called ‘Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth’ (Revelation 17:5). She was raised up to block the gospel, slaughter the believers in Christ, establish religions, create wars and make the nations drunk with the wine of her fornication as we will see.
The three major apostate religions have one thing in common – each has a holy place where they look for guidance:
- Roman Catholicism looks to the Vatican as the holy city.
- The [apostate] Jews [who know not Christ] look to the wailing wall in Jerusalem.
- And the Muslims look to Mecca as their holy city.
Each group believes that they receive certain types of blessings for the rest of their lives for visiting their holy place.
Note: The true third temple of Jerusalem, God’s holy place, was erected at the cross — it is the physical bodies of those redeemed in Christ Jesus (see this article), and new Jerusalem is the spiritual hearts of the redeemed (Revelation 21:1-3).
In the beginning, Arab visitors would bring gifts to the ‘House of God’ and the keepers of the Kaaba were gracious to all who came. Some brought their idols and, not wanting to offend these people, their idols were placed inside the sanctuary.
It is said that the Jews looked upon the Kaaba as an outlying tabernacle of the Lord with veneration until it became polluted with idols.
In a tribal contention over a well (Zamzam), the treasure of the Kaaba and the offerings that pilgrims had given were dumped down the well and it was filled with sand – it disappeared.
Many years later, Adb Al-Muttalib was given visions telling him where to find the well and its treasure. He became the hero of Mecca and he was destined to become the grandfather of Muhammad.
Before this time, Augustine became the bishop of North Africa and was effective in winning Arabs to Roman Catholicism, including whole tribes. It was among these Arab converts to Catholicism that the concept of looking for an Arab prophet developed.
Muhammad’s father died from illness and sons born to great Arab families in places like Mecca were sent into the desert to be suckled and weaned and spend some of their childhood with Bedouin tribes for training and to avoid the plagues in the cities.
After his mother and grandfather also died, Muhammad was with his uncle when a Roman Catholic monk learned of his identity and said, “Take your brother’s son back to his country and guard him against the Jews, for by god, if they see him and know of him that which I know, they will construe evil against him. Great things are in store for this brother’s son of yours.”
The Roman Catholic monk has fanned the flames for future Jewish persecutions at the hands of the followers of Muhammad. The Vatican desperately wanted Jerusalem because of its religious significance, but was blocked by the Jews.
Another problem was the true Christians in North Africa who preached the gospel. Roman Catholicism was growing in power but would not tolerate opposition. Somehow the Vatican had to create a weapon to eliminate both the Jews and the true Christian believers who refused to accept Roman Catholicism.
Looking to North Africa, they saw the multitudes of Arabs as a source of manpower to do their dirty work. Some Arabs had become Roman Catholic and could be used in reporting information to leaders in Rome. Others were used in an underground spy network to carry out Rome’s master plan to control the great multitudes of Arabs who rejected Catholicism.
When St. Augustine appeared on the scene, he knew what was going on. His monasteries served as bases to seek out and destroy Bible manuscripts owned by the true Christians.
The Vatican wanted to create a messiah for the Arabs, someone they could raise up as a great leader, a man with charisma who they could train and eventually unite all the non-Catholic Arabs behind him, creating a mighty army that would ultimately capture Jerusalem for the pope. In the Vatican briefing, Cardinal Bea told us this story:
“A wealthy Arabian lady who was a faithful follower of the pope, played a tremendous part in this drama. She was a widow named Khadijah. She gave her wealth to the church and retired to a convent, but was given an assignment.
“She was to find a brilliant young man who could be used by the Vatican to create a new religion and become the messiah for the children of Ishmael. Khadijah had a cousin named Waraquah, who was also a very faithful Roman Catholic and the Vatican placed him in a critical role as Muhammad’s advisor. He had tremendous influence on Muhammad.
“Teachers were sent to young Muhammad and he had intensive training. Muhammad studied the works of St. Augustine which prepared him for his ‘great calling.’ The Vatican had Catholic Arabs across North Africa spread the story of a great one who was about to rise up among the people and be the chosen one of their God.
“While Muhammad was being prepared, he was told that his enemies were the Jews and that the only true Christians were Roman Catholic. He was taught that others calling themselves Christians were actually wicked imposters and should be destroyed. Many Muslims believe this.
“Muhammad began receiving ‘divine revelations’ and his wife’s Catholic cousin Waraquah helped interpret them. From this came the Koran. In the fifth year of Muhammad’s mission, persecution came against his followers because they refused to worship the idols in the Kaaba.
“Muhammad instructed some of them to flee to Abysinnia where Negus, the Roman Catholic king, accepted them because Muhammad’s views on the virgin Mary were so close to Roman Catholic doctrine. These Muslims received protections from Catholic kings because of Muhammad’s revelations.
“Muhammad later conquered Mecca and the Kaaba was cleared of idols. History proves that before Islam came into existence, the Sabeans in Arabia worshiped the moon god who was married to the sun god. They gave birth to three goddesses who were worshiped throughout the Arab world as ‘Daughters of Allah.’ An idol excavated at Hazor in Palestine in the 1950’s shows Allah sitting on a throne with the crescent moon on his chest.
“Muhammad claimed he had a vision from Allah and was told, “You are the messenger of Allah.” This began his career as a prophet and he received many messages. By the time Muhammad died, the religion of Islam was exploding. The nomadic Arab tribes were joining forces in the name of Allah and his prophet Muhammad.
“Some of Muhammad’s writings were placed in the Koran, others were never published. They are now in the hands of high-ranking holy men (Ayatollahs) in the Islamic faith.”
When Cardinal Bea shared with us in the Vatican, he said, “These writings are guarded because they contain information that links the Vatican to the creation of Islam. Both sides have so much information on each other that if exposed, it could create such a scandal that it would be a disaster for both religions.”
In their ‘holy’ book, the Koran, Christ is regarded as only a prophet. If the pope was His representative on earth, then he also must be a prophet of God. This caused the followers of Muhammad to fear and respect the pope as another ‘holy man.’
The pope moved quickly and issued bulls granting the Arab generals permission to invade and conquer the nations of North Africa. [A papal bull is a type of public decree, letters patent, or charter issued by a pope of the Catholic Church.] The Vatican helped to finance the building of these massive Islamic armies in exchange for three favors:
- Eliminate the [apostate] Jews and Christians (true believers which they called ‘infidels’).
- Protect Augustinian monks and Roman Catholics.
- Conquer Jerusalem for ‘His Holiness’ in the Vatican.
As time went by, the power of Islam became tremendous — Jews and true Christians were slaughtered and Jerusalem fell into their hands. Roman Catholics were never attacked, nor were their shrines, during this time. But when the pope asked for Jerusalem, he was surprised at their denial! The Arab generals had such military success that they could not be intimidated by the pope — nothing could stand in the way of their own plan.
Under Waraquah’s direction, Muhammad wrote that Abraham offered Ishmael as a sacrifice. The bible says that Isaac was the sacrifice, but Muhammad removed Isaac’s name and inserted Ishmael’s name. As a result of this and Muhammad’s vision, the faithful Muslims built a mosque, the Dome of the Rock, in Ishmael’s honor on the site of the Jewish temple that was destroyed in 70 AD.
This made Jerusalem the second most holy place in the Islamic faith. How could they give such a sacred shrine to the pope without causing a revolt?
The pope realized what they had created was out of control when he heard they were calling ‘His Holiness’ an infidel. The Muslim generals were determined to conquer the world for Allah and now they turned toward Europe. Islamic ambassadors approached the pope and asked for papal bulls to give permission to invade European countries.
The Vatican was outraged; war was inevitable. Temporal power and control of the world was considered the basic right of the pope. He wouldn’t think of sharing it with those whom he considered heathens.
The pope raised up his armies and called them crusades to hold back the children of Ishmael from grabbing Catholic Europe. The crusades lasted centuries and Jerusalem slipped out of the pope’s hands.
Turkey fell, and Spain and Portugal were invaded by Islamic forces. In Portugal, they called a mountain village “Fatima” in honor of Muhammad’s daughter, never dreaming it would become world famous.
Years later when the Muslim armies were poised on the islands of Sardinia and Corsica to invade Italy, there was a serious problem. The Islamic generals realized they were too far extended. It was time for peace talks. One of the negotiators was Francis of Assisi.
As a result, the Muslims were allowed to occupy Turkey in a “Christian” world, and the Catholics were allowed to occupy Lebanon in the Arab world. It was also agreed that the Muslims could build mosques in Catholic countries without interference as long as Roman Catholicism could flourish in Arab countries.
Cardinal Bea told us in Vatican briefings that both the Muslims and Roman Catholics agreed to block and destroy the efforts of their common enemy, bible-believing Christian missionaries. Through these concordats [a formal agreement], Satan blocked the children of Ishmael from a knowledge of scripture and the Truth.
A light control was kept on Muslims from the Ayatollah down through the Islamic priests, nuns and monks. The Vatican also engineers a campaign of hatred between the Muslim Arabs and the Jews. Before this, they had co-existed peacefully.
The Islamic community looks on the bible-believing missionary as a devil who brings poison to the children of Allah. This explains years of ministry in those countries with little results.
The next plan was to control Islam. In 1910, Portugal was going Socialistic. Red flags were appearing and the Catholic Church was facing a major problem. Increasing numbers were against the church.
The Jesuits wanted Russia involved, and the location of this vision at Fatima could play a key part in pulling Islam to the Mother Church.
In 1917, the virgin Mary appeared in Fatima. “The Mother of God” deception was a smashing success, playing to overflow crowds. As a result, the Socialists of Portugal suffered a major defeat.
Roman Catholics world-wide began praying for the conversion of Russia and the Jesuits invented the Novenas to Fatima which they could perform throughout North Africa, spreading good public relations to the Muslim world. The Arabs thought they were honoring the daughter of Muhammad, which is what the Jesuits wanted them to believe.
As a result of the vision of Fatima, Pope Pius XII ordered his Nazi army to crush Russia and the Orthodox religion and make Russia Roman Catholic. A few years after he lost World War II, Pope Pius XII startled the world with his phony dancing sun vision to keep Fatima in the news. It was great religious show biz and the world swallowed it up.
Not surprisingly, Pope Pius XII was the only one to see this vision. As a result, a group of followers has grown into a Blue Army world-wide, totaling millions of faithful Roman Catholics ready to die for the blessed virgin.
But we haven’t seen anything yet. The Jesuits have their virgin Mary scheduled to appear four or five times in China, Russia, and major appearances in the Americas.
What has this got to do with Islam? Note Bishop Sheen’s statement: “Our Lady’s appearances at Fatima marked the turning point in the history of the world’s 350 million Muslims. After the death of his daughter, Muhammad wrote that she ‘is the most holy of all women in Paradise, next to Mary’.”
He believed that the virgin Mary chose to be known as Our Lady of Fatima as a sign and a pledge that the Muslims who believe in Christ’s virgin birth will come to believe in His divinity.
Bishop Sheen pointed out that the pilgrim virgin statues of Our Lady of Fatima were enthusiastically received by Muslims in Africa, India and elsewhere, and that many Muslims are now coming into the Roman Catholic Church.

In Closing
We still see this happening today, friends. Roman Catholicism birthed Islam, the Jesuits, and all secret societies — all antichrists — and they are wearing lamb costumes and coming after the true believers in Christ Jesus. Their primary weapon is peaceful deception that causes spiritual death (see the article Mark of the Beast).
What should we do as true followers of Jesus?…..
“Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?” –Romans 6:16 (ESV). We are to comply with government authorities up to the point that they infringe on God’s temple (our physical bodies) or want us to break covenant with God. OUR OBEDIENCE IS TO GOD AND GOD ONLY.
We are to trust and obey our Father God (Acts 5:29, John 14:15) and lean not on our own understanding so He will direct our path (Proverbs 3:5-6). As God’s children, we are not appointed to God’s wrath (1 Thessalonians 1:10 & 5:9, John 3:36). God tells us not to be anxious about anything (1 Peter 5:7, Philippians 4:6). Everything done on this earth is God’s will (Matthew 6:10) so remain strong and faithful to the very end so we may forever enjoy the river of life in the very presence of our Lord and Savior (Matthew 24:13).
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9 (ESV)
