Worship Of The Environment: The Religious Framing Of The Climate Movement Takes Center Stage At The U.N.

From November 10-21, 2025, the nations of the world gathered for the thirtieth annual United Nations Climate Change Conference or Conference of the Parties, more commonly known as COP30. The meeting took place in Belém, Brazil, with almost every country officially represented apart from the notable exception of the United States.

At COP30, Communist China unveiled a grotesque, demonic image that it calls the “dragon jaguar guardian spirit.” It displayed devil horns on its head and human hands holding the world. It shows that Satan, whom Jesus described as “the father of lies” (John 8:44), is advancing the need for all the world’s religions to unite under one banner using the ruse of a climate change emergency as its justification.

Worship of the environment has long been a hallmark of the climate alarmists. On September 19, 2019, according to Fox News, students at Union Theological Seminary in New York City prayed to a collection of potted plants set up in the school’s chapel. They later sent out a tweet regarding their worship of nature:

“Today in chapel, we confessed to plants. Together, we held our grief, joy, regret, hope, guilt and sorrow in prayer; offering them to the beings who sustain us but whose gift we too often fail to honor. What do you confess to the plants in your life?”

At COP 30, the worship of nature emerged as central to the agenda of the radical environmentalists.

The Religious Framing of the Climate Movement

Alex Newman, Christian journalist and CEO of Liberty Sentinel and website, attended COP30 and reported his observations in an article on Harbinger’s Daily: “In-Depth: UN COP30 Climate Summit Unites World Religions Under The Cult Of ‘Earth Worship.’” Below are a few of the paragraphs from his report:

“In addition to the political and economic agendas advanced at COP30, one of the least reported but most consequential developments in Belém was, in fact, the increasingly religious and spiritual framing of the global climate movement. Far from being a secular, science-driven assembly, COP30 brought together an unprecedented coalition of world religions. This alliance included everything from Catholics and Protestants to Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, Jews, and Indigenous pagans and spiritualists. They all rallied under a reinvented global moral consensus built largely around climate action and CO2 emissions.

Two crucial spiritual elements long documented by The New American about this environmental holy war were on full display in Belém. First, COP30 showed unprecedented religious convergence — a “spiritual coalition” bringing all the major religions and religious movements of the world together behind the UN climate program. The unity revolves around an emerging new moral framework that replaces historic biblical understandings of sin with a new vision, where CO2 emissions and other alleged offenses against “Mother Earth” are the real moral evil. COP30 culminated with a virtual interfaith climate liturgy.

Second, COP30 and the broader climate movement are now increasingly and openly integrating pagan and pantheistic spirituality into everything — all while marginalizing the biblical worldview. This was on full display throughout the summit. At official events throughout COP30, Indigenous rituals and pagan earth-worship symbolism were not only present — they were center stage in discussions about the damage humans are supposedly doing to ‘Mother Earth.’”

Does this not represent the forming of the Tribulation period religion that will bring together all the world’s faiths under one banner and empower the antichrist?

The Rapture Will Change Everything

During his Olive Tree Ministries’ interview on COP30, Alex Newman remarked how the elite are planning years in advance, and in particular, for when President Donald Trump is no longer in office. Those attending COP30 regard the President as the key roadblock to their demonic agenda, but they are sorely mistaken. The Bible tells us a much different story.

From 2 Thessalonians 2:3-8, we learn that the Lord is currently restraining the unveiling of the antichrist and his lawless reign of terror. The Holy Spirit is the Restrainer, and when His work of restricting lawlessness ends with the Rapture, the utopian agenda of the elite, based on the illusion of a climate emergency, will kick into overdrive.

The Rapture will be the game-changer. It will be the crisis that will enable the elite power brokers to impose their will on all the nations.

The pieces for the antichrist’s rule are already falling into place. I do not know how much more stage-setting needs to occur between now and the Rapture or the length of the interval between the Rapture and the start of the seven-year Tribulation. But should Jesus appear today and take us home, it would not take a lengthy period of time for the elite to subjugate humanity under their Orwellian nightmare and clear the path for the antichrist to begin his reign of terror. That’s because the stage setting for these things is well underway.

The Rapture will change everything for us; it will also change everything for those left behind.
