Six Reasons Why We Believe These Are the Last Days – Reason Three – The Developing Global Government
By Jack Kinsella
The power to make war is often what is referred to as the ‘Divine right of kings’ — since war is something that occurs between two sovereign rulers.
The entire world is abrogating that right over to the center. No matter how that is spun, the net effect is that of ceding sovereignty to the UN.
How can America be sovereign while subordinate to the UN when it comes to national security?
Instead, we have something called ‘collective sovereignty’, as Kofi Annan explained, saying the “UN was chartered to prevent another global war”, and that its founders recognized that, “agreeing to exercise sovereignty together, they could gain a hold over problems that would defeat any one of them acting separately”. (Kofi Annan to the UN, Sept 11, 2002)
There is no need to prove either the need for or the existence of a global government. It just isn’t a very good one.
The UN’s days are numbered — that much is evident. If it couldn’t control Iraq, how can it lay claim to any genuine global authority?
But it was designed as a global government and has created a massive infrastructure of global institutions like the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organization and a massive interdependent infrastructure of NGO’s [Non-Governmental Organizations].
They can’t simply vanish. The ensuing global chaos would be catastrophic.
While the UN’s days are numbered, the days of global government are not.
There are three pillars upon which the Bible says the antichrist will build his global government. Revelation Chapter 13 describes his absolute control over a global government, a global religious system and a global economy.
“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” [Revelation 13:7]
The global government foretold by Scripture will stand in opposition to Israel, in particular over the question of the final status of Jerusalem.
“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. ” [Zechariah 12:3]
The existing global government stands in opposition to Israel over the final status of Jerusalem.
The global government foretold by Scripture “opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped.” (2 Thessalonians 2:4)
The existing global government’s default position on any issue involving either the United States or Israel is one of opposition.
The US and Israel are also the only two states on earth founded under the authority of Scripture. Israel is the seat of Judaism and America is the seat of Western Christian culture. The phrase ‘US-Zionist imperialism’ is not uncommon language in UN speeches or in UN resolutions.
The Bible makes it clear that the final form of global government will not be headquartered out of UN headquarters in New York. It will be headquartered out of the revived Roman Empire. (See Reason Two – ‘The Revived Roman Empire’)
As this generation begins to draw to a close, having created the need for a global government and developed the necessary infrastructure, the UN is on the verge of dissolution.
Add to that the convenient revival of the old Roman Empire, the EU’s lust for global power, and the fact it already operates according to a political template that has already absorbed nearly 25 countries and you have a picture entirely in harmony with the prophecies of Scripture for the last days.
The Bible said such a system would exist in a single generation, somewhere in time. At the same time as all the other single generation events, like the restoration of Israel, the revival of the Roman Empire, and the developing global religous system we’ll discuss in the next installment of this series.
When you sit down and consider the odds, it isn’t hard to see why the developing global government is Reason Three in the Omega Letter Intelligence Digest series, “Six Reasons Why We Believe These Are the Last Days.”
