When I first began studying Bible prophecy some 40 years ago, it was then that I originally encountered the teachings of a coming world government -- with one man taking control. (Revelation 13) ... It was extremely difficult to even fathom that concept in those days. .. After all, America & Russia were both super-powers and it really didn't make much sense. .. But then, the Bible says this is a coming reality, so therefore I believed it .. even though I couldn't fully comprehend it. ...... Fast-forwarding to today, it is much easier to envision the reality of such a scenario. .. Technology is advancing in most every corner of the world. .. The internet and satellite communications reach virtually every country on the face of the earth. .. Even now, modern weapons can reach any part of the world in mere minutes! .. Men and nations no longer live in isolation. .. And, of course, there are many other factors that make the ascendance of a global power more of a reality than ever before. ... Jesus Himself said there would be "wars and rumors of wars, famines & earthquakes and pestilences in various places." (Matthew 24:6-7) ... The devastation caused by these rapidly increasing events (birth pains - vs. 8) will trigger a world-wide outcry for relief and order .. at almost any cost! .. This of course will set the stage for the emergence of a new world order with a leader that will promise solutions to all the problems facing mankind. ... As of late, we are seeing more and more of the world's national leaders mentioning the term 'global government.' .. In fact, on October 1st, our own President Obama made statements in a press conference that pointed directly to putting the U.S. on a 'fast track' to world government. .. This, of course, followed maybe the most significant and ominous UN General Assembly meeting in history. .. It took place this past September 25-27 and involved some 191 nations. .. Cutting through all the pomp, the HUGE thing that happened was this: ... "Transforming our World:The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" ... I read through much of this report, and the bottom line is that it simply comes down to 'a plan for the transition to global government.' ... I didn't get to see the final vote, or which nations did what, but I do know that the vast majority of the nations signed on to this proposal .. including the 'good old USA' .... Then this news story broke just a few days later (9/30). .. "U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch launches SCN (Strong Cities Network) from UN Headquarters ." ... Basically, what this is is an International Police Force that will supplant local police forces. .. Their purpose? .. to counter 'violent extremism.' .. There was no specific definition of what they categorized as 'violent extremist,' but it usually means that 'if anyone disagrees with what they are doing, it must be considered 'extremism.' ... Reading between the lines, this is scary stuff! .. Interesting also is the timing as it relates to the newly-adopted UN agreement. .. They seem to go hand-in-hand. ...... For a moment, I want to share just a brief history of this 'Agenda 21' UN proposal. .. To start, this 'agenda' has been around for some time. .. In fact, the late Henry Lamb & Tom DeWeese have been working feverishly for decades to unravel the thorny and terrifying tentacles of UN Agenda 21, a 'soft law' signed in 1992 by 178 nations. .. Let's also note that the idea of a one-world government/order has been around since the turn of the 20th century. .. It suffices to look at the back of a dollar bill to see the evidence. .. Featured prominently under the Masonic Pyramid are the Latin words, Novus Ordo Seclorum, the New World Order. .. The following are just some of the far-reaching points of this agenda: ... *Population Redistribution according to resources .. *Equitable Distribution of resources by government control .. *Zoning & Planning controlling land use .. *Public land ownership controlling urban & rural land .. *Population Control - massive abortions, limited birth rates, forced sterilization, eugenics .. *Mega-Cities with mixed-use, high rise, stack-and-pack miniature apts, etc .. *Redraw Neighborhoods to make them more diverse as dictated by HUD .. *Plans to manipulate human population in rural areas .. *All Education curriculum control .. *No Borders, no sovereignty .. *No National Language & Culture .. *No Christian Faith .. And these are just some of the items on the overall agenda .. (anyone ever seen the movie 'Diversion?') We know for a fact that the Bible tells us of this reality in the last days. ... You can look to many places in scripture to find it .. Revelation 13, 17 & 18, Daniel 2, 7, 8 & 11 .. to name just a few. ... We also know that there will be a world religion that will team up with this world government. .... Gee, I wonder who that might be? .. Oh yeah .. I know! .. It's the Vatican! ... Here's a bit of a recent article posted on 'Chick Publications' - November, 2011, entitled 'Vatican Calls for World Government' ...... "The current global economic crisis has pushed world leaders to begin recommending a world government. The Vatican is now calling for 'a global public authority.' including a world central bank controlling global financial affairs." .... If anyone continues to doubt the reality of a coming world government, they are either in complete denial or live in a cave. .... Look, you doubters! .. It's everywhere! OK .. calm down, Red ... If it appears that I had a moment of frustration, it's only because I want everyone to know what is coming so they can prepare themselves spiritually before it's too late ... I will close with this comment from Isaac Newton ... "About the time of the end, in all probability, a body of men will be raised up, who will turn their attention to the prophecies, and insist upon their literal interpretation in the midst of much clamor and opposition." .... Sounds familiar, doesn't it? ... But we 'watchmen must also remember that Jesus Himself taught us that in these last days, they would be like the 'Days of Noah,' where people would be going about their everyday lives, unaware of all the things taking place all around them. .. And when it all comes crashing to a close, they will be swept away unawares. (Matthew 24:37-39) ... How tragic! ...... Finally, we don't have to listen too hard to hear the approaching hoof beats if attuned to issues and events of our time in a biblical prophetic way. .. The Horsemen of the Apocalypse in Revelation 6 are mounted. .. No, the world can't yet see them looking across terrain littered with the hills and valleys of everyday life. .. But, the spiritual ear can hear them rumbling just beyond the immediacy of these quickly waning days of the age. .. I will sincerely pray for every one of you to turn your faces to the one and only Lord that can snatch you from the coming fire .. and that is the Lord Jesus Christ! ... Hallelujah! Until next time, Red
