The Signs of Christ's Return & the End of This World Age (PART 1)

This study will require a great investment of time, not only to read, but watch all of the video clips that at times are hours in length. This may take many days for some to achieve, but it is very much worth the knowledge you will gain.

THE SIGNS OF CHRIST’S RETURN & THE END OF THIS WORLD AGE

Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to [him] for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

That question has been asked by numerous generations from the time that Christ walked the earth until this very day, when is the end of the world? What will be the signs? Many generations have believed they would be the ones to see Christ’s return based on certain events that were happening within their lifetimes that seemed to fulfilled a biblical prophecy, but it is only in our generation that we see the fulfillment of a true end time sign of the world forming into a one world beast as foretold in the books of Daniel and Revelation. The prophetic stage of a one world system has not existed since the Roman Empire and that must be in place in order for the antichrist to show up on the world scene to control all commerce. A final world government and world commerce is rapidly taking shape and has been for decades; this will be our focus of documentation, so that we as watchmen will understand that we truly are that generation that will see the fulfillment of all prophecy come to pass in our lifetime.

The Move Towards Globalism

In today’s world it has become common place to hear the word "Global", such as in Global Community and Global Economy. We also hear such terms as New World Order, League of Nations, World Health Organization, and The United Nations, just to name a few. One of the most notable usages of the term “New World Order” was made by former President George Bush Sr. after the Gulf War on March 6, 1991 in his Address to Congress where he spoke of “four future challenges” outlining the United Nations Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338 and the principle of territory for peace.

“Now, we can see a new world coming into view. A world in which there is the very real prospect of a new world order. In the words of Winston Churchill, a "world orde"" in which "the principles of justice and fair play… protect the weak against the strong… A world where the United Nations, freed from cold war state-mate, is poised to fulfill the historic vision of its founders; a world in which freedom and respect for human rights finds a home among all nations.”

On the surface, that all sounds great; peace, safety, and cooperation among all nations, protection for the weak… yes, this does sound great, but as scripture tells us, world peace will not happen, no matter how many peace treaties nations sign or how many wars we engage in, in the name of peace. True peace will not happen until the Prince of Peace returns to set up His Kingdom. The reason why man will never achieve peace on his own is that the kingdoms of this world are controlled far too often by men with evil in their hearts and lust for power. When a good leader comes along they are more often than not, assassinated such as Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy.

I’ve often wondered, “Where are those great leaders of the past?” Then I remember the lack of moral standards that bred that type of individual as we as a nation have allowed God to be removed from our children’s classrooms and from the political arena and replaced it with atheistic standards. Our nation was founded on biblical laws and morals and we have allowed that to slip away from us and we believe these types of leaders can bring us world peace? Although this state of national decline and move away from God may seem new to us, mankind has always fallen away from God even to the point of repeatedly trying to create their own salvation and utopia reaching as far back as the Tower of Babel. So there is truly nothing new under the sun. But despite those in governments around the world that claim to want peace, it appears that something more sinister is behind the false peace they are peddling. And we’ll see this as we move along in our study; we’ll uncover what the powers that be have in mind for the world.

U.S. former President, Dwight D Eisenhower, in his farewell speech in 1961 gave us several insights into how we should have proceeded as a nation after his observations of 4 wars. During his rise to political power, Eisenhower had come across a group of powerful bankers that were trying to implement certain financial controls over our nation, but had for decades been thwarted by national leaders. But a shortsighted Eisenhower, in order to gain substantial political contributions, made a deal to let legislation pass which gave these wealthy family owned private banks a foothold in our economy, naively not understanding what the consequence and effect it would have on the American people or our economy. After he began to see the fruit of his decision, he regretted it deeply and it reflects in his final words to America where he saw no peace in sight for us as a nation.

Eisenhower - Farewell Speech 1961

“It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system – ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society.

Another factor in maintaining balance involves the element of time. As we peer into society's future, we – you and I, and our government – must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering for, for our own ease and convenience, the precious resources of tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without asking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage. We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow.

Down the long lane of the history yet to be written America knows that this world of ours, ever growing smaller, must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.

Such a confederation must be one of equals. The weakest must come to the conference table with the same confidence as do we, protected as we are by our moral, economic, and military strength. That table, though scarred by many past frustrations, cannot be abandoned for the certain agony of the battlefield.

Disarmament, with mutual honor and confidence, is a continuing imperative. Together we must learn how to compose differences, not with arms, but with intellect and decent purpose. Because this need is so sharp and apparent I confess that I lay down my official responsibilities in this field with a definite sense of disappointment. As one who has witnessed the horror and the lingering sadness of war – as one who knows that another war could utterly destroy this civilization which has been so slowly and painfully built over thousands of years – I wish I could say tonight that a lasting peace is in sight.”

Eisenhower Speech (part 2)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbUAwCE7JVY

Instead of taking Eisenhower’s advice, our nation’s military industrial complex, joined with foreign armies and continued to use its force throughout the world to advance our “Global Interests” at the cost of millions of lives under the guise of peace.


U.N. Peacekeepers in Eritrea

In the name of peace, the creation of the United Nation Peacekeepers was formed. The United Nations Charter gives the United Nations Security Council the power and responsibility to take collective action to maintain international peace and security. For this reason, the international community usually looks to the Security Council to authorize peacekeeping operations. Most of these operations are established and implemented by the United Nations itself, with troops serving under UN operational control. In these cases, peacekeepers remain members of their respective armed forces, and do not constitute an independent “UN army,” as the UN does not have such a force.

Since the inception of the UN in 1945, there have been 187 wars with over 45 million killed—nearly as many as in World War II itself. The UN has been involved in 49 peacekeeping missions since that time, presently maintaining 17 missions. And the number of worldwide conflicts at the present is 33—resulting in over 20 million refugees. Is the UN succeeding in “keeping peace”? Or have God’s prophecies, come to pass?

I Thessalonians 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

Headlines, such as the following, show exactly what the supposed “Peacekeepers” have accomplished:

“UN ‘Triumph’ Masks Waning of its Power” (London Times, Feb. 25, 1998). “Report Concludes UN Failed Rwanda” (APOnline, Dec. 17, 1999). “UN Apologizes for Not Preventing E. Timor Violence” (Reuters, Dec. 30, 1999).

Although I’m convinced that many of the peoples of the world want nothing more than to live in peace and safety, the men that step into positions of power are usually focused on that power rather than the interest of the people they rule, and often times are not interested at all in what you and I would consider peace. When there is a military force, often men of power want to flex it to gain more power and then say their actions are done to promote peace. The United Nations Peacekeepers seem to be an arm of this type of peace which surely isn’t the kind of Peace Christ will bring. So as scripture tells us, there is false peace in the world and that will continue until our Lord returns.

The Revived Roman Empire

Man’s goal of world conquest is surely nothing new. History shows us this fact with the Egyptian Empire, the Assyrian Empire, The Babylonian Empire, the Media-Persia Empire, The Greek Empire, and the Roman Empire. But despite these man-made empires of the past, none of them engulfed the entire world in the manner that is described in the bible as the 1st Beast in Revelation 13:1:


Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.


This passage and passages in the Book of Daniel describe a time when the ENTIRE world will be united under the antichrist. But often when reading these prophecies, men become confused because they hear of beasts with horns and multiple heads, and as a result they often miss what’s staring them in the face. If you are not aware, God often uses symbolism to describe things, which are basically object lessons for you and me. Just as we teach our children concepts that are difficult to grasp such as math, likewise, God uses object lessons to teach His children. When we first teach a child that the numbers 2 + 2 = 4, more often than not, you’ll get a puzzled look on the child’s face; but when we place four apples on the table and separate 2 of them from the other 2, and then count them with the child “2 apples + 2 apples = 4 apples, see, 1, 2, 3, 4… 4 apples!” That’s usually the moment the light bulb turns on for the child and they begin to understand the concept of addition. So it is no surprise that God would use this type of teaching with His children. This teaching method persists throughout His entire Word. In a sense, by God’s use of symbolism, certain truths are hidden from those that do not have eyes to see and ears to hear.

So in regard to Revelation 13, God is not talking about an animal when the word “beast” is utilized, nor for the words “sea”, “heads”, and “horns”; they are not meant to be literal. They are symbolic object lessons that describe something bigger in scope than what’s on the surface. We’ll define exactly what the images I just mentioned represent a little later. What they will illustrate and what will become apparent is that the One World Beast system spoken of in Revelation 13:1 related to these four images has already reared its head and you are seeing its fulfillment today.

This symbolic “Beast” of Revelation has a second witness written of by the prophet Daniel.

One of the reasons the prophet Daniel rose from exile to become the prime minister of the greatest empire of the ancient world, was his God-given ability to interpret the dreams and visions of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. One of the king’s dreams was of a great statue composed of different metals. Daniel revealed that this image symbolized the future course of world empires until the end of the world age. One of the most significant revelations was that there would be only four world empires from Babylon in 606 B.C., until the Second Coming of Christ when He would introduce His heavenly and eternal “Stone” kingdom with Himself as Messiah King.

The vision of the great image revealed that each stage of these four empires would decrease in value (head of gold, chest of silver, thighs of bronze, legs of iron mixed with clay), but would increase in strength. (Hal Lindsay, A.D. 2000)

But with the final world empire, notice that although iron is stronger than the first three metals, its mixture is with clay and is supporting the weight of the statue of the beast making it extremely weak as clay crumbles, just as the final world system that satan set’s up will appear strong but it will very quickly crumble for it’s foundation is built on lies.

As in the book of Daniel, chapter 2 indicates, the first empire was Babylon (Dan 2:37-38); historians and bible scholars agree that the second was Media-Persia; third, Greece and the fourth empire was the Roman Empire. The Iron legs represent Rome in its entire stage. And the empire that is still to come, the feet with ten toes, represents the revived Roman Empire in it’s final form leading up to the Battle of Armageddon. (Hal Lindsay, Planet Earth A.D. 2000)

It is this final One World System that must be in place before the antichrist can appear and then rule the world. He of course will be claiming to be Christ who has come to rapture away those that believe in him, and sadly enough, that will include many biblically illiterate Christians.

One of the most amazing aspects of Daniel’s prophecy of the final World Empire is that it predicted that no matter what ambitious men would attempt; no world empire would ever successfully replace the Roman Empire. Mohammed, Charlemagne, Genghis Khan, Frederich Barbarossa, Napoleon, the British Empire, Adolf Hitler, and the Russians have all attempted to build a fifth world empire, but each in turn has failed. The future is in the hands of God (Dan 2:45) and He has decreed that this last world power will be the revival of the old Roman Empire. (Hal Lindsay, Planet Earth A.D. 2000)

At its territorial peak, the Roman Empire controlled approximately 9,500,000 km² (2,300,000 sq mi) of land surface. Because of the Empire's vast extent and long endurance, Roman influence upon the language, religion, architecture, philosophy, law, and government of nations around the world lasts to this day.

Several years later, Daniel himself had a parallel vision of this final stage of the revived Roman Empire:

Dan 7:7-8 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots.

The interpretation of Daniel’s dream is given later, beginning in verse 23 by the angel:

Dan 7:23 Thus he said, “The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon the face of the earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and shall speak great words against the MOST HIGH, and shall wear out the saints of the MOST HIGH, and think to change times and laws: and shall be given into his hand until a time and a times and the dividing of time. (Hal Lindsay, Planet Earth A.D. 2000)

Here, we are given the actual meanings of the symbolic images so that we don’t have to guess or question what is being taught. The fourth beast [the 1st beast of Revelation] is a kingdom which shall rise upon the face of the earth and devour the entire earth. Well, how does a kingdom devour the earth? It is apparent that such a kingdom would have to have its dominion over the ENTIRE EARTH; a One World System, a New World Order, and we’re told it will be a form of the Old Roman Empire which controlled most of the known world at the height of its power.

Here in Daniel, we are also given the meaning of the symbolic term “horns” which God uses throughout prophecy; HORNS representing kings or leaders, or even elected officials… presidents, world leaders, etc., and it is no wonder that God utilizes horns to represent the power leadership holds. In nature, the horns of animals determine their strength such as the ram or an elephant with its tusks. If you’ve ever witnessed two rams striking each other, you immediately understand the power that resides in their horns. Daniel 7:23 also described a “little horn” which shall rise and he will be different from the world leaders that rise form the One World Government. This “little horn” or leader of the world, shall speak words against God and it is none other than satan himself, the antichrist. He is also the second beast spoken of in the Book of Revelation, who God allows a little power for a short period in order to test the world and weed out the harlots, and separate the wheat from the chaff. Now just a hint, “wheat & chaff” are symbolic for something other than the grain and a harlot is not an actual prostitute standing on a street corner or in a brothel. If you don’t understand, then put those on a shelf for a moment and it will all become clear soon.

The Great Apostasy & the Harlot

In conjunction with the arrival of the two beasts described in Revelation and in Daniel, an apostasy or falling away from one’s professed beliefs and the truth of God’s Word will take place on a large scale and God symbolically describes this apostasy as a “Harlot” in the Book of Revelation. Likewise, God uses the symbolic term of “Harlotry” throughout the bible to represent when any of his children fall away from Him. In The Book of Hosea we’re given a clear picture of just how God feels when we do this. In Hosea, the children of Israel had fallen away from God, so to illustrate how deeply He was hurt, God told Hosea to go marry a harlot and to have children of harlotry. As a result, when Hosea’s children of harlotry were born they would not know who their true father is. This was the big picture God wanted to illustrate in a profound way to the Children of Israel who in Hosea’s time had turned away from God, and as a result didn’t know who their Father in heaven is. In addition to this, Hosea would suffer not knowing if the children he was raising was his or was fathered by one of his prostitute wife’s many lovers. It’s this type of deep emotion that God wants to hit home with us. He loves us so much that He is jealous over our attention to anything false that is not of Him. He loves us like we are his bride and He our Husband. So keep the story of the children of Harlotry as portrayed in Hosea in mind as we read of the HARLOT THAT RIDES ON THE BACK OF THE BEAST in The Book of Revelation.

Now, pop-quiz, what is the first BEAST of Revelation? You are right! The One World System. And when we read in Revelation about a woman (a harlot), riding on the back of the beast, you can now see clearly that God’s unfaithful children will be riding on the back of the One World Beast System. If they’re riding on the back of the One World System, they are pretty much going right along with it to the point that it is carrying them along; as though they were being swept away by a river of lies. Since they do not know who their true Father is, they will see the little horn rise, claiming to be Christ, and will want to throw a wedding party for his bride. The thing is, he will be satan disguised as an angel of light, telling his bride that the time to gather unto him has come. This will be the long-awaited rapture that many Christian’s have espoused. And they will willingly commit spiritual fornication as they play the Harlot riding on the back of both beasts. Some Christians don’t even recognize the first beast which is already here, so how will they recognize the second one? Some are already riding on the back of the 1st beast and are not aware of where their allegiance has been made. Christians that don’t want to look at politics, or what’s happening in our economic world, or how traditions of men have crept in and are so embedded into many Christian church doctrines, or Christians that refuse to look at the world around them… they’ve already got one foot in bed with the first beast. But be rest-assured, there are those that know their Father and will be presented to Christ as a chased virgin and will not play the Harlot.

II Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ.

Will you spiritually be a virgin on the day that the true Christ returns at the 7th Trump, or will you be laying in bed with satan as the harlot? God wants his children to know him and to love him. There is no closer union that God has given us here in the flesh than that of a husband and wife, so he uses this symbolism to help us understand His feelings better. That’s why He wants us to remain physically faithful to our “flesh” spouses, as a symbol of our faithfulness to Him. We all can imagine how it would feel to have your spouse be unfaithful, see to it that you are faithful to God.

Revelation 17 - The Whore That Sits Upon Many Waters & the Kings of the Earth

Now that we have a new understanding, let’s read line-by-line and analyze chapter 17 of the Book of Revelation and see how clear it has become:

Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, “Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great WHORE THAT SITTETH UPON MANY WATERS:

Here we see where God is utilizing the same imagery of a Whore which is the same as a harlot; just as we gained understanding of in Hosea. Just a hint, the word “waters” has a symbolic meaning as well and will be given as we read a bit further; so you know before hand, the WATERS represent THE PEOPLE OF THE ENTIRE EARTH. For it will be the entire earth, with the exception of the elect, who will be spiritually whoring themselves to the two beasts, which is to say, the One World System and satan.

2.With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication and the inhabiters of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”

This of course is a spiritual fornication, the great apostasy, in which the leaders of the world, and the people of the world, turn to the antichrist who is claiming to be God, as giddy as a new bride who’s had a little too much wine on their wedding night. This happens as the world leaders or kings of the earth willingly hand over their power of the One World System they’ve built and the people of the world that comprise it, to the antichrist, their new husband. This system will be comprised of a unified religion that is not of our Father’s Word, with false promises of peace and prosperity. I imagine that right before the antichrist shows up on the scene, the world will be in dismay; most likely over a Global Economic collapse or other calamities. This will most likely be the wound that the beast sustains to its head, all will think the One World System has failed, but lo-and-behold, the antichrist will swoop in and heal the wound and make it all better. He’ll forgive all debt, and call all of his little children up to be transfigured into a spiritual body. Don’t be deceived! Wait for the true Christ after that man of lawlessness is revealed!

3.So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a WOMAN SIT UPON A SCARLET COLORED BEAST, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

Here we see the ten horns spoken of in the Book of Daniel. Remember, we know that the 10 horns are representative of 10 kings; or more likely, the 10 regions of the world that they control and in which the world will formally be divided into by that time, and as we will see later in this study, the map is already drawn out.

So we've got 7 heads but 3 more crowns than heads. If we take a look at the number of continents that comprise the entire world's land mass, then clarity comes of this mathematical problem:

1. Asia - 44,700,000 sq km
2. Africa - 30,300,000 sq km
3. North America - 24,360,000 sq km
4. South America - 17,770,000 sq km
5. Antarctica - 14,000,000 sq km (island continent)
6. Europe - 9,940,000 sq km
7. Australia - 7,686,850 sq km (island continent)

The 7 heads are part of the body of the beast make up the entire land mass of the world. Spread over these 7 continents will be 10 rulers & a dividing of controlled land into 10 regions. Again, a map of these 10 regions is already in place.

4.And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5.And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

This One World System will have a unified false religious system which offends God and none of the children of the earth, with the exception of the elect, will know who their true Father is, just as illustrated in the book of Hosea. It would also be wise to study the books of Kings, Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Ester, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and Daniel in order to learn exactly what went on with the historical figure called The King of Babylon, especially knowing that a future “king of Babylon” will appear in the end days, described as Mystery Babylon in the book of Revelation. It doesn’t have to be a mystery to you. Know the past so you can be prepared for the future. Specifically in Daniel, we know that the vision of the final world system was given to Daniel during the reign of King Nebuchadrezzar, the King of Babylon. We also know that king Nebuchadrezzar dreamt of a statue which is the beast of the end of the age. Will you unknowingly worship or give allegiance to the beast or his system? It states in God’s Word that even the elect would be deceived if it were possible, so satan must give a convincing show. Prepare yourself with the FULL armor of God, His Word, and KNOW the first beast when you see it! This will clue you in to the soon appearance of the 2nd beast.

5.And I saw the WOMAN drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 7.And the angel said unto me, “Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the WOMAN, and of the BEAST that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

Here’s where God tells us exactly what the symbolic images represent. There should be NO mystery about it for those that have eyes to see and ears to hear.

8.The BEAST [Satan] that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the BEAST that was, and is not, and yet is.

There is only one son that has been condemned to perish, the son of perdition, and that is none-other than Lucifer, the great dragon, satan, serpent, antichrist, which ever you want to call him. And seemingly when he shows up on this earth after Michael kicks him out of heaven, the whole world will wonder after him. But it also states that only those whose names are NOT written in the book of life shall marvel over this one. God’s elect will know better.

9.And here is a mind which hath wisdom. The SEVEN HEADS are SEVEN MOUNTAINS, on which the WOMAN SITTETH.

Here we are given the meaning of the symbolism utilized for the seven heads which are seven mountains; mountains representing nations. So the seven nations of the earth which will be split into 10 regions and later we’ll learn that the woman is the great city that rules over the earth; The One World System. Starting to sound familiar? It’s not hard to see many of these pieces already in place and moving at lightening speed to form a new economic and governmental system that will engulf/devour the world.

10.And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

This reflects Daniel 7:23 where we’re told about the kingdoms which must come upon the earth with the final Revived Roman Empire coming into place for a short time before the True Christ comes to set up His Millennial Kingdom.

11. And the BEAST that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

So here we have it. The second beast is the son of perdition, satan. He is the beast that was in power in the first earth age, then he lost his power in the second earth age with the exception of his evil spirit which can influence man, and will be released on this earth at the end of this age.

12.And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as of yet;

Kings that have not received a kingdom yet area future kingdoms or future leaders – FUTURE to the time of Daniel’s vision & FUTURE to John’s vision given to him in the Book of Revelation

but receive power as kings one hour with the BEAST.

That hour is the hour of temptation. Will you be tempted by all of satan’s lies and promises for a time of peace and prosperity? So this 10 horned political beast receives its complete power when the second beast, satan arrives and they rule the world in the basic structure the world leaders have constructed with several of satan’s improvements & promises.

13.These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

The leaders of the New World Order will be amazed at the supernatural being that comes on the scene claiming to be Christ with supernatural power and with all of the answers to the broken system that they had attempted to set up –where they ultimately seemed to fail, satan will succeed, so they willingly let him rule. Satan restores the political and economic failure that had received a deadly wound. How does a political system receive a deadly wound? Well, it could happen by rebellion some nations realizing that things are bad, protests, or certain nations falling away from the union, or God’s elect causing trouble, or quite possibly there will be a nuclear war that destroys this false peace they have constructed, that part we don’t know for sure. But the One World System will appear to be dead; but when satan arrives on the scene that deadly wound the system received will amazingly be healed and its full potential of power restored by none-other than its new supernatural leader.

14.These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”

During satan’s reign here on earth the elect or the “bruisers” will be witnessing and so will the two witnesses and they will cause satan great concern and many will start to question if this supernatural being is who he says he is. Then satan has the two witnesses killed and the elect brought before him, and then the spiritual war will come to its climax and we know who wins!

15.And he sayeth unto me, “The WATERS which thou sawest, WHERE THE WHORE SITTETH, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues [the people and nations of the earth].

The 1st beast or One World System rises out of the waters which is the sea of the peoples of the world. When you go to a concert of thousands of people, the term is still used unto this day that “there are a sea of people”. Aren’t God’s object lessons simple and illuminating? Is the light bulb turning on in your mind? Do you feel a “sealing” happening? God wants to seal his knowledge in your mind, but beware, so does satan, and his knowledge is of the fruit of the tree of lies and evil. So check out in the bible what any man says including me, Shepherd’s Chapel, or any other man or spirit to make sure you are being sealed by God’s Word ONLY, not satan’s lies or traditions of men.

16.And the ten horns which thou sawest UPON THE BEAST, these shall hate the WHORE, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 17.For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God be fulfilled. And the WOMAN which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” (Revelation 17:1-18).

Here, we are told that the ten horns, or the One World System, will hate the whore. That whore is non-other than the Christian Nations and True Israel which have turned their backs to their professed beliefs and foundation in God and who have become a harlot, unfaithful to her Husbandman. It would seem that satan would love this bunch because they turned their backs on their Father, God, but satan knows God’s love for her, his bride, despite their unfaithfulness. God loved her so much that He died for her on the cross. And the elect seem to keep plucking the souls of this bunch from satan’s hands with God’s Words of truth that they’ve planted. So out of satan’s hatred for the woman, he creeps in and is slowly stripping her bare of her wealth and blessings even now, and that has been the case for quite some time here in America. On NBC’s Nightly News with Brian Williams, the show is entitled “The Fleecing of America”,

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19934551/

…and the SHEEPLE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheeple) of America have certainly felt that fleecing. Ultimately, satan wishes to devour the soul of the Harlot and would love her company as he burns in the fire of God’s wrath. But thank God for His elect who shall be delivered up on the day of Pentecost. And from the elect’s prior planting of many seeds of God’s truth, many of those that would be devoured shall remember the elect’s words, turn back to their Father, and be saved.

THE BEAST RISING BEFORE OUR VERY EYES

It is interesting to note that in our generation The Old Roman Empire seems to have been revived geographically as well as by name, just as foreseen by the prophets. The Treaties of Rome are two of the treaties of the European Union signed on March 25, 1957. The first established the European Economic Community (EEC) and the second established the European Atomic Energy Community (EAEC or Euratom). They were the first international organizations to be based on supranationalism, after the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) established a few years prior. The treaties came into force on January 1, 1958 and the EEC treaty has been amended on numerous occasions; it has since been renamed from The Treaty establishing the European Economic Community to The Treaty Establishing the European Community. Originally both treaties were signed by six nations; Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, The Neverlands, and West Germany.

In the 1980s and 1990s we started to see some startling developments as the push for more unification of nations within Europe by the Euro-planners was underway with a new common currency, the Euro. This was not the only plan they devised as they met with much opposition from individual, sovereign nations. They devised marketing strategies to aid in making a positive outlook of the transition. One of the products of this strategy was The European Community Commemorative Coin and Stamp set. The collector’s set reveals some startling features in light of bible prophecy. On the back of the commemorative COIN, you’ll notice a scantly dressed WOMAN SITTING ON THE BACK OF A SCARLET BEAST over a body of WATER.

Revelation:
9.And here is a mind which hath wisdom. The SEVEN HEADS are SEVEN MOUNTAINS, on which the WOMAN SITTETH.

15.And he sayeth unto me, “The WATERS which thou sawest, WHERE THE WHORE SITTETH, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues [the people and nations of the earth].

Now look at the commemorative stamp below the coin which also has a WOMAN on a BEAST over SEVEN HILLS.

It’s amazing that a book written thousands of years ago could give such vivid imagery of the Euro-planners artwork for the “New Europe”. To further help the different sovereign nations of Europe accept the idea of unity, they produced a public relations poster depicting a partially rebuilt Tower of Babel with the slogan “Europe: Many Tongues, One Voice”.

“The imagery is contagious. Within the TIME issue (December 1991), page 39, the new Europe is symbolized as a SCANTLY DRESSED WOMAN RIDING ON THE BACK OF A BEAST. She is flying the European blue flag with a circle of gold stars in the center. The WOMAN in the picture is accompanied by a MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE flying European national flags. All are on the same BEAST.

Another picture in the same issue uses a graphic to symbolize the obstacles the new Europe had to overcome Labeled “racism,” “nationalism,” “protectionism,” “tribalism,” and ‘the legacy of communism,”. The graphic portrays these as a scarlet color, like bloodstains, spreading across the back of the BEAST. The TIME’S artist still shows the BEAST with a WOMAN RIDING ON IT’S BACK. Compare these images, the official government coin & stamp, and the selected images by a major global magazine, to the 17th chapter of Revelation of the images foreseen by John and recorded thousands of years before.” (Hal Lindsay, Planet Earth A.D. 2000)

It is absolutely amazing that Nationalism & Protectionism would be so looked down upon by these Euro-planners, categorizing it in the same negative context as Racism & Communism. So they are saying that a sovereign nation should not protect itself against an enemy? It’s not hard to see the leaps and bounds towards a One World System where the same negative outlook will have to exist worldwide.

A SECRET NEW WORLD ORDER MAP

The 10 horns of power, or regions of power, must have been the next glimpse of the future that John was given as we look at the following map. In some cases the global bio-regions have actually been named and marked out. The people living in the new borders are beginning to vaguely realize that their borders are becoming porous. In spite of nationalistic protests the old boundaries are beginning to fade away. One case in point is NAFTA. People in the U.S.A. are becoming aware of this new reality. But NAFTA was laid out at least as far back as World War 2. See the secret New World Order map below.

NAFTA

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) which was created two years ago economically joined Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Most Americans think of NAFTA simply as an Economic Entity because that is the only context in which the media has ever portrayed it. However, the leaders of The New World Order have long been following a plan to recreate the many nations of the world into 10 Super Nations. And, not surprisingly, this Plan fulfills Biblical prophecy.

THE NEW WORLD ORDER PLANS TO CREATE 10 SUPER NATIONS – 10 HORNS

In 1957, Alice Bailey, then the leader of the House of Theosophy, wrote in her collection of writings, "The Externalisation of the Hierarchy", that the world must first be reorganized into Spheres of Influence before it could be organized into a Global government (Page 209). She made it very clear that this reorganization would not follow traditional national boundaries, but would be a completely different organization.

Bailey did not specify how many "Spheres of Influence" would be created, but her plan was fleshed out in 1974, by New World Order authors, Mihajlo Mesarovic and Eduard Pestel, in a book entitled, "Mankind At The Turning Point". They wrote that the world would be reorganized into 10 Super Nation States, listed below.

10 SPHERES OF INFLUENCE -- NATIONAL REORGANIZATION

1. North America


2. Western Europe


3. Japan


4. Australia, South Africa, and the rest of the market-economy of the developed world.


5. Eastern Europe, including Russia


6. Latin America


7. North Africa and the Middle East


8. Tropical Africa


9. South and Southeast Asia


10. China




Remember, this New World Order Plan was published in 1974. Firmly set this date in your mind, as it will become very important in just a few paragraphs. The first question is "Why 10 Nations specifically?" The answer lies in having knowledge of the spiritual beliefs of the Occult. They believe that man is to be spiritually "perfected" by undergoing the process of "Illumination" by achieving a long, arduous study of "Hidden Truth". Once a man is totally perfected, he is pictured as standing "upright" next to, but uncontrolled, by his world. This perfected man is thought of as the Number 1, while the world is pictured as a zero (0). Thus, the number 10 forms this picture of perfected man standing apart from his world. The number 10 is a very important symbolic number to the occultist. ("Magic Symbols", Frederick Goodman, Brian Todd Publishing House, London, 1989, p. 46-47).

Therefore, when the occultic leaders of the New World Order devised their plan to reorganize the world into Spheres of Influence, they acted in accordance with their occultic beliefs in deciding to create 10 Super Nation states. They were creating a New World Order, which, by its very structure, screamed to the peoples of the world, "We have created the 'Perfected" world organization, of 10 Super Nations". The symbolism is powerful: they are the "Perfected" men, standing apart, but controlling the world. Ten had to be the number; Occult Doctrine demanded it.

The world has been controlled by individual sovereign nations since the Tower of Babel 5,000 years ago. Today, there are over 170 sovereign nations throughout the world. A new governmental structure is being silently erected over these 170+ sovereign nations Before our very eyes, a new government is being erected; this plan, originally published in 1974 in "Mankind At The Turning Point", is being implemented. And when it is finally implemented, it will fulfill this Biblical prophecy of 10 Nations at the End of the Age.

Therefore, you see, NAFTA is not simply an economic super nation; rather, it is Nation #1 of this 10 Nation New World Order. Very few people understand this, because they have been conditioned by our national leadership, aided by our national mass media. No one has ever explained this before. Now, you can understand why Presidents as seemingly dissimilar in world view, style and philosophy as Presidents Bush and Clinton could support the creation of NAFTA. President George Bush began the push to create NAFTA, but was unable to see it created before he left for office. President Clinton supported NAFTA, even though he opposed nearly every other thing for which Bush stood.

So, the Bible states that the one purpose of reorganizing the world into 10 Super Nations is to hand their authority over to the Antichrist. And, what does the New World Order Plan state is their purpose in achieving this New World Order? To deliver their authority to The New Age Christ, whom many authors call "Maitreya The Christ". ("The Reappearance Of The Christ", Alice A. Bailey, Lucis Press, New York, 1948, p. 5-35; also "The Externalisation Of The Hierarchy", Alice A. Bailey, Lucis Press, 1957, p. 556-557; also "Revelation: The Birth Of The New Age", David Spangler, The Rainbow Bridge Publishers, San Francisco, 1976, p. 156-157).

But, other writers are so bold as to call him "Antichrist". Can you imagine that these authors should be so bold as to call their Superman, Antichrist? But, they do, and often. ("The Armageddon Script", Peter Lemesurier, St. Martin's Press, New York, 1981, p. 239-241; also, "Herald Of The New Age", Ruth Montgomery, Fawcett Crest, New York, 1986, p. 200-201).

You cannot ignore the existence of this huge body of writings, which plan in such detail as to how to reorganize the world so the Christ, or Antichrist, can appear to take control. The last man to arise to power, thinking he was the Antichrist, was Adolf Hitler. Hitler's vision of the world was that Germany would forcibly unite the world under his leadership; and, just as Jesus Christ will rule for 1,000 years, so Hitler has his counterfeit plan, which he called the 1,000-year Reich. And, Hitler called his plan, The New World Order!!!

Understand that this formation of all the world's nations into only 10 Super Nations is unprecedented in all of world history. Never before has it happened, and it has occurred only after the good and bad fig was planted in Jerusalem in 1948, when Israel was declared a nation. (excerpted from cuttingedge.org)



THE BILDERBERG GROUP



The public name for the group was derived from the Bilderberg hotel in Oosterbeek, Holland, the site of the association’s first meeting in 1954. The group consists of approximately one hundred or more powerful-elite from the member nations of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). Its leadership is interlocked with that of the Council on Foreign Relations, and may therefore be accurately categorized as a CFR sister organization. Funded by a number of major one-world institutions, including the Rockefeller and Ford foundations, the express purpose of the Bilderberger Group was to regionalize Europe. This goal was revealed by Giovanni Angelli, the head of Fiat and one of the leaders of the Bilderbergers. Agnelle stated, “European integration is our goal and where the politicians have failed we industrialists hope to succeed. (Pike, Morals and Dogma, 817-818)

George McGhee, the former U.S. ambassador to West Germany, revealed that “The Treaty of Rome" which brought the Common Market into being was nurtured at the Bilderberg meetings. In other words, today’s European Economic Community which became a political Union on December 31, 1992 is a product of the Bilderberg Group.

The overriding purpose of the Bilderbergers like that of its sister organizations (The U.N. and the Council on Foreign Relations) is the establishment of a world government. This philosophy of the Bilderbergers was clearly explained by the group’s first chairman, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, whose family is a principal owner of Royal Dutch Shell Oil Company. Bernhard wrote:

“Here comes our greatest difficulty. For the governments of the free nations are elected by the people, and if they do something the people don’t like they are thrown out. It is difficult to reeducate the people who have been brought up on nationalism to the idea of relinquishing part of their sovereignty to a supernational body… This is the tragedy.”

Prominent American Bilderbergers have included David and Nelson Rockefeller; Thomas Hughes of the Carnegie Endowment; Winston Lord, former director of planning and coordination of the State Department; Henry Kissinger; Sbigniew Brezinski; Cyrus Vance; Robert McNamara, former president of the World Bank; Donald Rumsfeld; George Ball, former undersecretary of state and director of Hehman Brothers; Robert Anderson, president of ARCO and associated with the Aspen Institute; President Gerald Ford; Henry Grunwald, Managing Editor of TIME; Henry J Heinz II, chairman of the board, H.J. Heinz Company; Father Theodore M. Hesburgh, former president of Notre Dame University; and Shepard Stone of the Aspen Institute for Human Studies. Virtually every one of the American Bilderbergers is a current or former member of the CFR (Council On Foreign Relations). European participants have included prime ministers, foreign ministers, and financial leaders such as Hilmut Schmidt of West Germany; Rumor of Italy; Baron Edmond de Rothchild and Giscard d’Estaing of France and Sir Eric Roll, chairman of Warburg & Co. in England; to name just a few. ( Excerpted from “En Route to Global Occupation” by Gary H. Kah, 1992)

Note: Gary H Kah was a high ranking government liaison, and Christian whose job took him around the world dealing with American Embassies, foreign government officials, international business leaders, and at times the press and media; at which time he became aware of secret plans for the world-wide establishment of a world government. Based on his Christian beliefs, he began a three year investigation into the plot for a New World Order. His book was published in 1992.

Since my first reading of this book in the mid-1990s, many other books on the subject of the Bilderberg Group have been published and are well worth researching if this subject interests you. As well, many other members of the Bilderberg Group have been exposed. One patriotic American, Alex Jones, a syndicated radio host, has made it his duty to expose the Bilderberg Group’s agenda for world domination and to bring to light what the main-stream media will not. Here is one of his recent postings as to the activities of the Bilderberg Group:

THE CLUB OF ROME



The Club of Rome is a global think tank that deals with a variety of international political issues. It was founded in April 1968 and raised considerable public attention in 1972 with its report The Limits to Growth. According to the club's publications, the common enemy of humanity is man, so democracy may not be well suited to the tasks ahead. However, the threat of pollution, global warming, water shortages, and famine can be used to fulfill humanity's need for a common adversary.

The Club of Rome was founded in April 1968 by Aurelio Peccei, an Italian industrialist, and Alexander King, a Scottish scientist. It was formed when a small international group of people from the fields of academia, civil society, diplomacy, and industry, met at a villa in Rome, Italy, hence the name. (excerpted from Wikipedia)

The Clubs reports are sent directly to the power-elite to be implemented. On September 17, 1973, the Club released one such report, entitled Regionalized and Adaptive Model of the Global World System, prepared by COR members Mihajlo Mesarovic and Eduard Pestel. The document reveals that the Club has divided the world into 10 political/economic regions, which it refers to as “kingdoms.” This sounds to me like a fulfillment of Daniel 7:15-28 and Revelation 13 in the making! While these “kingdoms” are not set in concrete and changes could still occur, it gives us an idea of what lies ahead. ( Excerpted from “En Route to Global Occupation” by Gary H. Kah, 1992)

The two most well-known reports published by the Club of Rome. In The Limits to Growth (1972) they conclude that “the earth is facing an imminent catastrophic collapse if human civilization continues on its current trajectory.” Twenty years later, in The First Global Revolution they state that the situation is now so dire that drastic actions are required. According to the CoR “democracy has failed and new forms of governance are required” and “a common enemy must be found, one either real or invented, to unite humanity." They then state that “in searching for a new enemy to unite us,
we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill.”
(excerpted from http://www.green-zagenda.com/turningpoint.html )
There is currently a large mass of evidence to support the fact that Global Warming was invented by the Club of Rome; as was stated above. It may be hard to accept something you believe is real and then find out it’s nothing but a lie. But the best lies are always with a bit of truth mixed in. There may be an effect on the earth from pollution and this is not to say that keeping the earth clean and free of carbon based exhaust isn’t a great idea, but there are those that argue that this is just a way to unify and control populations and economies and to impose additional straining taxes on everything from light bulbs to hypothetically, the carbon dioxide we exhale from our bodies. To prove the point that Global Warming is a way to strip more taxes from the people of the world and to unify us under international control, here is a list of 31,000 scientists that disagree with the claims of Global Warming: http://tadcronn.wordpress.com/2008/05/27/global-warming-consensus-31000-scientists-disagree/

THE AMERO


We are the generation who is witnessing the 1st beast as it continues to raise its head from the sea of people and take form. Just as Europe had its “Euro”, The North American Union is already underway which will include America, Mexico, & Canada with its new currency already named “The Amero”. Have you ever wondered about how currency works, and why our dollar is weakening at such alarming rates? Well, it is all part of the Banking Elite’s plans and I’ll show you extensive education as to how our money system works which is nothing like you may think. But the weakening of the dollar and the economies of the world RIGHT NOW, are all heading towards a world currency. Here’s the next step towards that, the Amero.

The Following CNN News Stories show how the information is out there, but most Americans aren’t watching; are you watching the signs as The Beast rises form the sea of people? The plans for a North American Union are following the same steps that the Euro-planners achieved with Europe. One difference is that, for the most part, we only have two opposing languages (English & Spanish) and nearly 40 million of the non-English speaking illegal immigrants are already here. Haven’t you wondered why our elected officials really don’t care about the Exodus of a nation of Mexicans into our sovereign nation? It’s because they have already implemented an economic union as phase one, and once the problem is too large to solve they’ll spring phase two on us; finally telling us that we have to create a union like Europe did so that we can sustain an economic future or otherwise suffer another depression that will pale in comparison to the Great Depression. Fear is their strongest tool against Americans, and it always has been. If you haven’t been watching some of the news stories about this, watch:
