"Then I stood on the sand of the sea, and I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name." ...Revelation 13:1 ...... The interpretation of the opening verse from Revelation 13 shows 'a beast rising up out of the sea.' .. Simply, this means that there will be a world leader rising up from the masses (the sea) that will take control of a soon-coming world government. .. Before I get started, let me share just two headlines from this morning. .. This one is from Prophecy Update:  "UN Continues Increasing Push for 'International Law' " .. Then this one from Breitbart:  "Leaked Soros E-mails Reveal Plan for Federally Controlled Police" .. (of which our President Obama totally supports, by the way) ... Ok .. Now when I first started studying Biblical prophecy some 40+ years ago, it was then that I originally encountered the teachings of a coming world government with one man ultimately taking control. .. (seen in Revelation 13, 17 & 18 as well as much of the Book of Daniel) .. In the beginning, it was difficult to even fathom this as being a possibility. .. I mean, the world had two super-powers in Russia & America, and virtually NO ONE was even talking about such a thing. .. But fast-forwarding to today, we are now hearing & reading these kinds of headlines almost every day! .. No, you don't see much of it in the American socially biased liberal press, but the international news outlets are rife with it! .. Oh, and remember just last week? .. Obama signed off on giving complete control of the Internet to the UN! .... Simply, almost every prominent national leader today is talking about globalizing almost every facet of our societies. .. For the sake of support & clarity, let me take you back just a year ago to what really started 'the ball rolling' concerning all this. .. On September 25-27, 2015, maybe the most ominous meeting in all of its history was held by the UN. .. It involved some 191 nations. .. Here's a brief overview of what took place ..... "Transforming our World:  The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" (There's also an 'Agenda 21' involved) .. Unlike most people, I felt compelled to read through most of what I could get my hands on, and the bottom line is simply 'a plan for the transition to a global government!' .. I did not get to see the final vote, but I do know that the good ole' USA voted in favor   (I'm shocked, but not really.) Then this story broke just a few days later on September 30th  ... "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 ultimately supplant local police forces (sounds like the Soros e-mail headline from this AM, doesn't it?) .. The purpose given for this move was to 'counter violent extremism.' .. Anyone with an IQ above 20 can read between the lines & see just how scary this is! .. (I wonder who gets to decide just exactly what the definition of 'extremism will be?) .. And the timing of Ms. Lynch's announcement just so happens to fall in line with just what took place at the UN meeting just a few days before! ...... OK .. So now let me share just a few more hi-lites from this globalist agenda just introduced to the world a mere one year ago, which is none other than the beginning foundation of what was Biblically prophesied some 2000+ years ago - the coming world government in the final days just prior to our Lord's glorious return ...    *Population redistribution according to resources ...    *Equitable Distribution of resources by global 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 & pack miniature apartments, ....etc. ...    *Re-draw neighborhoods to make them more diverse as dictated by HUD ...    *Plans to manipulate human population in rural areas ...    *Control of all education curriculum ...    *No borders, no sovereignty ...    *No National language & culture ...    *NO Christian Faith ... ............ and these are just some of the over-all agenda (any of you seen the movie series 'Divergent/Insurgent?') ...... Now ... Let me begin closing this up with what I believe will be the final catalyst as to what will bring this world government into reality. .. In November 0f 2011, 'Chick Publications' released this story ..."Vatican calls for World Government" .. Here's a brief excerpt from that piece ... "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' to include a world central bank controlling global financial affairs. .. Now I rarely agree with anything the Vatican puts out, but on this one, I believe they really do see what is to soon befall this planet. .. (the 'economic calamity' part only) ... For those of you who share this ministry, you know that for years, I've been 'preaching' that I believe   a worldwide economic calamity will hasten in this global government reality. .. If any of you follow any of the international breaking news stories, you, like me, will see that the world is truly on the precipice of a financial meltdown! .. Country after country is experiencing very extreme issues regarding how to keep their nations afloat! (not to mention the rapidly increasing social chaos) .. Also, as before, let me take you back to pre- World War 2 Germany & how the people were so desperate for anything to change their lives that none other than Adolph Hitler came to power. .. Why, because they would follow ANYONE who promised them a better life! .. When the world experiences this coming economic explosion, the multitudes will be in exactly the same position ... give us ANYBODY that can save from all this! .. Hence, the world leader will emerge upon the world scene. .. And where will that be? .. He will rise up from the 'Revived Roman Empire (Daniel 2 & 7). .. I believe him to be alive, and I'm closely watching for him in the now-evolving EU. .. I'll let you know if I think I 'see' him. ... Some of you will think me crazy, but that seems to 'go with the territory.' .. Let me close with a comment from Sir 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." .. Sound familiar? .. We'll probably be on the list of 'designated extremists' by the UN! .. But what I hang onto is the fact that Jesus Himself taught us that in the 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 down, they will be swept away unawares (Matthew 24:37-39). .. How tragic! ...... Finally, we don't have to listen too closely to hear the approaching hoofbeats if attuned to the issues and events of our time in a biblically prophetic way. .. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in Revelation 6 are mounted. .. No, the world can't yet see them looking across the terrain littered with the hills & valleys of everyday life. .. But, the spiritual ear can hear them rumbling just beyond the immediacy of these quickly waning days of this age. .. I will sincerely pray for every one of you to turn your faces to the one and only Lord of Lords that can snatch you from the coming fire .. and that is the Lord Jesus Christ! .. Hallelujah!! ... Until next time, Red
