SECTION 1.
There is a false Kingdom of God being formed on the earth! This is basically what Globalization is all about. The Bible has warned this time would come, and it has. Satan is seeking to set-up his own counterfeit kingdom, before Jesus Christ's Second Coming to take the government of the world upon His own shoulder. Isaiah 9:6. This chart will simplify what is happening somewhat:
CHART ONE.
WHO OWNS THIS PLANET?
In previous studies we have dealt with the fact that Jesus Christ has legal right to the title deed of this planet. If we look at the verses in Revelation chapter five we see the Lord Jesus Christ opening the title-deed to the earth itself, the mysterious scroll. Remember that Almighty God has permanent, ultimate possession of the planet called earth, because He created it! Nothing and no one can alter that fact; not can any counterfeit kingdom of God ever succeed for long because: "The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods" (Psalm 24:1-2).
The redemption price for the earth was not money or corruptible things, but it was the very Blood of sacrifice, just as the price was paid for the souls of men. There is only one who could redeem the earth, and that was the Lamb without blemish: "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as a lamb without blemish, and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you" (1 Peter 1:18-20).
That creation "groaneth and travaileth in pain together" awaiting the fulfilment of the redemption in Christ Jesus is shown in the Bible (Romans 8:18-23). In the appointed time slot of the Almighty, the rightful heir of creation, the Lord Jesus, will take His legal place as the Potentate of the planet, as Son and Creator. (John 1:1-3; 1 Timothy 6:15; 1 Tim 1:17):
"Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise
God,
be honour and glory for ever and ever."
The Bible reveals many things about the coming counterfeit kingdom of God. There seems no shadow of a doubt that the New World Order of the New Age, which is forming rapidly now as we approach the close of this millennium, is Satan's prophesied counterfeit kingdom of God. We, as God's people, should understand the political and religious aspects of this emerging world system, and as well, we should know thoroughly the prophecies regarding the system, which is nothing less than the Antichrist System! There is no way at all that we can know all the details of the New Age New World Order, for to do so would mean understanding the entire world in the 1990s. The Bible has prophesied that everyone but those who are the elect in Christ Jesus will succumb to the enticement of the Antichrist's lies, and we are seeing this happening right now as the blackness of deception covers the earth. See the prophecies of this in Revelation 13:8,14,16.
Satan's kingdom has been really operating in sense ever since the fall in the Garden of Eden, but God has not allowed mankind to go without witness of His great love. In the Tribulation period, which is the failed New World Order in operation, God will deal in judgement upon the nations of the Gentiles (and the Jewish nation) who have lived so long under the evil of the Usurper. The world-system, or the Kosmos, in an ethically wicked sense of that word, has been under the order or arrangement of Satan because of man's unbelief and Godlessness. What the world's system is now, it will be in the Tribulation, only the world will be totally given over to evil and the control of the Evil One. How does fallen mankind operate in this Godless Kosmos?
(1) It operates under the principles of force, the stronger enslaving the weaker. (2) The whole Godless system operates upon greed for money, possessions and the glory and power that these bring. (3) The Godless Kosmos is about selfishness in its multitude of expressions. (4) Ambition and pleasure for self, number one marks the Godless system of the evil Kosmos. (Matthew 4:8-9; John 12:31; 14:30; 18:36; Ephesians 2:2; 6:12; 1 John 2:15-17).
The Kosmos of evil, which is the system of this world, has these powers by which it keeps control and influence:
(1) Imposing with its chillingly destructive armies and fleets and global police forces ("Peace-keeping" forces of the UN etc), the Kosmos system has the weaponry to destroy the planet (BUT, God will never things get that far!) This, and even more, will the Antichrist system unleash in the Tribulation Period. (Rev.13)
(2)The Godless world today is very religious often, it loves rituals, gorgeous religious robes and building, it is massively rich, and even now, before the Tribulation, it is cruel and murderous! So too will be the Antichrist system, but far, far beyond what are seeing today. (Rev. 17: 1-7). (3) The world system is scientific, cultured often and elegant. The people of the world who know not God love the world system. They slavishly adore the world's rich and powerful, the film stars, the sports stars, the rock bands and the mansions and luxuries of the Kosmos. So too will those who enter the Tribulation of Seven Years. God has commanded that we love not the world! (1 John 2:15 5:16; James 4:4).
(4) The Godless world is dominated by Satanic concepts, imaginations and principles. It is held together only by armed force. It is seething in terrible selfish greed with national, political and commercial ambitions and ruthlessness. So too will the Antichrist system, for it the culmination of the Kosmos we see today - without the restraining of the Holy Spirit praying and living through God's elect people, the Church of Jesus Christ. (11 Thess. 2:5-8). We are the Temple of the Holy Spirit, and when we are Raptured, the unleashing of the full power of the Kosmos' wickedness will begin to surge ahead! The Holy Spirit is omnipresent; He is everywhere present, so he as a Divine Person, the Third Person of the Trinity, will reImages on the earth.
(5) The horror of the Antichrist world domination will be that the wicked spirits and their devilish master will come into unrestrained power! The spiritual world will burst upon the earth as it never has before, and demonic activity will storm in cyclonic terror over the planet. This is where the occult New World Order is leading the rebellious world's citizens. (Rev. 16:13-16). (See later notes for more on these spirits).
POINTS ON GLOBALIZATION,
NEW WORLD ORDER (NWO).
Globalization means Global Governance, a One World Police Force, Global Education for the masses, a New Economic Order, a common religious faith based on worship of the earth and nature, which outlaws belief in the Biblical Transcendent, Personal God. Globalization is the end of nationhood to a great degree. PeaceKeeping Forces will be the only ones who will have weapons, a more appropriate name for these would be "Peace Enforcing" troops. To bring the One Worlders' agenda to the masses there must be enforcement. Why? Because no one would submit to the horror of the agenda unless they were forced to do so! The Bible tells of the Tribulation period as the most terrible time that has ever been on earth, even more ghastly than the Great Flood. The evidence is all there that the Tribulation period will be the Globalization of this planet under the New World Order. All that reImagess now is for a potentate with full presidential power to assume the rule of the earth - he is waiting in the wings to do just this!
IN BRIEF, SOME MATTERS OF IMPORTANCE
FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING:
A report called Global 2000 was written by Gerald Barney for the Carter administration. This report included the comments of UN Luciferian disciple David Spangler. Barney is the former director of the US Rockefeller Brothers Fund and was editor of the Fund's report The Unfinished Agenda. Since the Global 2000 report Barney has prepared another text, "Global 2000 Revisited: What Shall We Do?" This was used as the primary text for the 1993 Parliament of World's Religions. Barney has made it clear to all that religions must make their faiths "sustainable", OR ELSE! What will happen if we refuse the Gaia Mother Earth Gospel, and refuse to accept all religions are Truth, even witchcraft and voodoo? We will be treated as enemies of the planet. Already environmental leaders are declaring Christianity to be "a menace to the future of the earth." An unnamed authority told Barney, "You have done some very important work, but just think of how much more you could have done if your parents had not exposed you to the pernicious influence of Christianity."
Gerald Barney urges religious leaders to create a "community of Earth's faith traditions" that will bring about a world-wide spiritual celebration of earth's entry into a new era in the year 2000. At the dawn OF THE YEAR 2000 all humans ARE TO BE officially forced TO BOW THE KNEE AND WORSHIP GAIA, MOTHER EARTH. In the Global 2000 Revisited report a weird invitation has been issued. All religious leaders and heads of state, every country, are to convene in Thingsvellir, Iceland on January 1, 2000. On that day, in a tent surrounding a pagan stone altar, the assembled leaders must present hand-written covenants, which pledge their loyalty to GAIA and their agreement that the New World State should govern in HER, NAME! Barney calls this "a ritual death to and giving up of the old 20th century and its ways of being and thinking..." (Vol.1 P.21).
Why Thingvellir in Iceland? The Church of Gaia, the ONLY WORLD CHURCH allowed, will have the Thingvellir Oath of mutual support and protection. It seems that Thingvellir is symbolic of the death of Christianity, as the entire nation in Iceland converted to Christianity at the beginning of the second millennium. Says William Norman Griggs: "This ritual described by Barney would amount to a reversal of this conversion - not only for Iceland, but for Christians around the world. It may be significant that the pagan religion of Wotanism, which stressed man's supposed subordination to the natural order was the ancient religion of Iceland." (Wotanism also influenced Hitler in his Third Reich plans.)
Hans Kung, Catholic theologian, composed the Global Ethic Document which was signed by nearly every representative at the World Parliament of Religions which was held in Chicago, Japan and Bangalor in 1993. It was composed in order to "establish an alternative framework for religion to WHICH PEOPLE WOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE." It is document of Gaia, does not contain anything like our God in it at all. Witches, shamans, snake worshippers, Protestants, Catholics, New Agers, Zoastrians, Taoists, and all manner of earth worshippers attended that parliament. When I have attended the WCC meetings here in Brisbane, Hans Kung has featured heavily! Yes, ALL HUMANS are going to be forced to worship the earth or DIE as enemies of the New Age state religion.
WHAT AND WHO ARE THE Images SPIRITUAL AND HUMAN
PARTICIPANTS IN THE NEW WORLD ORDER?
The Bible has predicted some breathe-taking details about the New World
Order, or Antichrist system. The Images player on the stage when the Seven
Year Tribulation occurs will be the Antichrist himself. He will be virtually
an incarnation of Satan in an earthly body, a sort of counterfeit of the
incarnation of Christ Jesus. Antichrist as a person should be carefully
distinguished from the other mentions in Scripture of antichrist. There
is: (1) The "many antichrists" (1 John 2:18). (2) The "spirit of antichrist"
(1 John 4:3), which can be seen as characterising ALL verses which mention
antichrist.
What is the distinguishing feature that we should look for to identify the "spirit of antichrist"? The major mark of all is the denial of the Biblical doctrine of the incarnation of the Son of God in a human body. (John 1:1, 14; Matt 1:16). That is, the "spirit of antichrist" denies that Jesus of Nazareth was GOD come in the flesh, and if He wasn't, then He could never have died for the sin of the world, He would have been just a sinner like everyone else! If Jesus Christ was not God incarnate, then you and I have no hope of escaping hell. But of course, Jesus Christ WAS God indeed. 1 John 4:1-6.
There are "many antichrists" who come before and prepare the way for the ultimate Antichrist, to prepare the world for the doctrines and lying signs and wonders of the final monstrosity, Satan incarnate in a man. This final Antichrist is "the Beast out of the sea" of Rev, 13:1. Let us then look at two thrilling subjects of Scripture - THE INCARNATION OF JESUS CHRIST and THE ANTICHRIST WHO DENIES THAT INCARNATION.
THE INCARNATE CHRIST JESUS.
The incarnate One will rule the earth from Jerusalem in the Millennial Reign, no wonder Satan wants to deny that Jesus was the Christ, God incarnate, God come in the flesh! (Isaiah 7:13-14; 9:6-7; 11;1; Jer. 23:23:5; Ezekiel 34:23; 37:24; Hosea 3:4-5).
TO DENY THE INCARNATION
IS TO DENY THAT GOD SPOKE BY HIS SON. (Hebrews 1:1-3).
There is a special aspect about the incarnation, which the antichrist spirit wants to deny, that is the "LOGOS". The Logos is the Greek word in Aramaic "Memra", which is used in the Targums, or Hebrew paraphrases, as the word for "God". It means in Greek a thought, an idea, the expression of that concept in utterance. Christ Jesus has always been the Logos from all eternity, but in His incarnation the manifestation of this wonder was especially shown. We had better understand a little here about this "Logos" as it is expressed in the incarnation, to understand why the antichrist spirit denies the incarnation.
(1) In Christ Jesus are embodied all the glories and infinite treasures of divine wisdom, He is the unique One in which is the collective "thought" of the Almighty Father (1 Cor. 1:24; Eph.3:11; Col.2:2-3).
(2) Jesus Christ has no beginning and no end, He is the Alpha and Omega, there is nothing, which is not in Him. (Rev.1:11). He is Eternal, and comes from the infinite realm of Eternity. When He came as a small babe at Bethlehem, the DIVINE was incarnate in the flesh. He was the "utterance" or full "expression" of the very Personhood, the "thought" of Deity Himself (John 1:3-5, 9, 14-18; 14:9-11; Col.2:9).
(3) The Alpha and Omega, ALL, was expressed in the incarnation of Jesus Christ. The early Christian Church used those Greek letters, Alpha and Omega, as symbols to denote Christ as Deity. Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet ("alpha" bet) and Omega is the last letter. Christ is the first and last and everything in between! (Isaiah 41:4; 44:6; Rev. 22:13; Heb.12:2).
The spirit of antichrist denies the incarnation, that Christ came in the flesh, because "in him dwelleth all the fullness of God bodily", and God: "Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things by whom he also made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;" (Heb. 1:2-3).
THE PERSON OF ANTICHRIST.
There is now not a shadow of a doubt that the present day uprising that is known as the New Age New World Order is the Antichrist world-system! Therefore it is certain that the man who will become the Antichrist, which Scriptures warn about so much, is here already, but not yet revealed. He will be the tyrannical ruler of the New Age global government.
WHAT IS HE LIKE? WHAT IS HIS RELIGION?
Yes, Antichrist will be a religious ruler, (who will be aided and abetted by the False Prophet), the "beast coming up out of the earth" (Rev. 13:11). The Antichrist is the second person in an evil counterfeit Trinity. The False Prophet is the third person in that Trinity. Who is the first in the Trinity? The Dragon, the devil, that old Serpent! (Rev. 16:13; 19:20; 20:10). The Antichrist is the mighty political ruler, but he is also an occultic follower of dark religious practices. A SUPER STAR, SON OF SATAN.
Religion without the Saviour, without the shed Blood of Calvary, without the TRUE Bible, the KJV, will be the world-wide religion of Antichrist himself. At first it will appear to be beautiful, uplifting, exciting, and Godly. As time progresses the awful reality will hit the deluded "Christians", Church-goers and tribal religions of this planet - and they will realise that the Antichrist world religion is from the devil! A UNITY under the dragon. They will then be forced to worship the dragon and the beast, most will actually want to do this! See Rev. 13:4-8. Awesome is the horror of the Mark of the Beast, which is already being prepared and used across our earth, micro-chip implants, social identity cards with the unholy Trinity's logo across it, smart cards to usher in the cashless society and the use of micro-chip identification. See Rev. 13: 16-17.
THE GREAT DELUSION.
We can choose today, will we worship the Son of God or the Son of Satan? It is as though God says to an unbelieving world, "It is time, I will not strive with you any more, IF you will not have the sacrifice I have given in My Son, who died for your sin, then so be it." And God will send a delusion so strong that the rebels on the earth will believe that the dragon is God and the Antichrist is the Christ. (11 Thess. 2:9-12). The false revivals we are seeing today, with the strong emphasis on sensual experiences and carnal reactions, with signs and wonders, are the forerunners of the lying miracles of the Beast - which are coming up very soon now. Choose whom you will worship and serve, as for me and my house we will worship the Lord Jesus Christ.
THE ANTICHRIST POLITICS.
All of the earth has been divided into zones by the NWO; this is already a reality. The charts in this study show the divisions and various trade groups which comprise the NWO globalisation, this is the political arm of the Antichrist system. In a general sense then, what is the political rule going to be like in the Tribulation? It goes without saying, of course, that the regime of the Beast will be violent, murderous, and it will be the worst period that the world has ever endured. The Bible tells us:
"For then shall be a great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elects sake those days shall be shortened." (Matt. 24:21-22).
NOTE: that the political and religious world government of the NWO will be worse even than the great flood of Noah's day. Notice also that there has never been anything like this, and so all objections that say that the Tribulation is only the general run of trial and tribulation that all Christians go through in every age, is false. The "elect" mentioned here are those who are saved during the Trib., the Church as such has been already Raptured. Multitudes will be saved in the Tribulation, of every nation. (Rev. 7:1-17).
A PEACE MOVEMENT WITH
A FEW POWERFUL PEOPLE BEHIND HIM.
The Antichrist's regime would seem to begin rather inconspicuously. He will only have "a small people" which will make him strong. The Illuminati and such groups as the Club of Rome and the Bilderbergers and the Rockefellers, compared to the vast population of earth, are very small in number. The Antichrist will be the leader (albeit behind the scenes) of a mighty peace movement. Just as we are seeing on the earth today:
(2) He will rule over a revived Roman Empire, which will have ten kings. (Dan.7:24; Rev.17:12).
(3) He will first appear as the "little horn", he will have restricted power for a time, then he will reveal his greatness and ambition (Dan. 7:24-25).
(4) He comes forth as the Rider on the White Horse, that is he will appear pious, Christ-like, a good man (Rev. 6:1-2). Only when he manages to grasp power does he reveal his true character and purpose. (Dan. 9:26).
(5) He will use his political power to trick the Jews as the instigator of a unique covenant with them. He will, it seems, not present the initial covenant to them, but "confirm" it. Possibly some other party or parties have presented the covenant in the first place. He will promise the Israelis that they can restore their ancient religious privileges, and they will accept him and enter into a fearfully wrong league with this man. (Dan.9:27).
(6) He will be a wolf in sheep's clothing, who, in the middle of the Tribulation period, will dramatically show his real identity as the evil being he is. "The Man of Sin", "Lawless One" and "The Son of Perdition." He will use the very covenant with the Jews to bring about his own worship and political domination. (Dan. 9:26-27).
SOME OF THE OTHER MATTERS WE CAN ASCERTAIN
FROM BIBLICAL PROPHECY ABOUT THE `TRIB.'
Remember that it is almost 100% sure now that the NWO is the early Antichrist system, ready and rearing to go! From both the Old Testament and the New Testament we can gather quite a lot of information about the Tribulation, but of course the authentic Church of Jesus Christ will be gone before the Tribulation gets started. Obviously the Trib. will not just appear out of thin air the day after the Rapture! We will see many evidences of that period about to commence before we leave this evil Kosmos, as we certainly are in newspapers and television programs every week.
THERE WILL BE A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING
IN THE `TRIB.' FOR MANY JEWS.
PROPHECY found in Deuteronomy 4:29,30. (1500 BC): (1) This prophecy shows that there is a deep relationship with the Lord and the Jews in the Trib. The prediction is that the Jews will turn to the Lord Jesus Christ and listen to the Gospel. Some will be the 144,000 Jews mentioned in Revelation 7. These are to become evangelists. Who are virgins, and will speak of the Lord Jesus Christ on the earth in the Trib.
(2) This awakening is a mere preparation for a greater one in the millennial reign of Christ as He rules over the Promised Land, as given to Abraham. (See Genesis 15 for the Abrahamic Covenant).
THE NATION OF ISRAEL
WILL FINALLY TURN TO JESUS CHRIST.
Although the NWO under the Antichrist will imagine that they are calling the tune in the Trib., the whole scene is under the Sovereign Will of the Almighty God. The judgement of God will come upon Israel, and they will, in the end of the Trib, turn as an entire nation to their true Messiah, Jesus Christ. BUT, before that time they will accept the Antichrist and his covenant, remember. PROPHECY found in Jeremiah 30:7-10 (606 BC):
(1) This is the "Time of Jacob's Trouble"; it will be the worst trouble Israel has ever encountered in her entire history, worse than the holocaust under Hitler! BUT, "he shall be saved out of it." (v. 7). Satan means the whole Trib. for evil, but God brings ultimate victory and glorious good from it, and the Jewish nation will finally accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah. (Zech. 12:10-14; John 19:37).
(2) Note in verse 8 that God will break the yoke of foreign domination over the Israeli remnant, and the Jews will find freedom.
(3) The millennial reign will be the peace, safety and glory of Israel for a thousand wonderful years. The whole world will see Christ Jesus rule from Israel in that time.
DANIEL ASKS ABOUT THE ENDTIMES. PROPHECY
found in Daniel 12:8-13 (534 BC). There are some fascinating details found here.
(1) Daniel is actually inquiring of the Lord God about the end times here in verse 8.
(2) We see that there will be many saved in the Tribulation in verse 10. The verse is also being applied to the days just before the Tribulation, our times in the 1990s. "none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand." Wickedness always abounds (v 10) until the Battle of Armageddon. Even after that, in the Reign of Jesus Christ, some people will still finally turn against Christ and serve Satan, at the end of the Millennial Reign! (Rev 19:7-9)
(3) Verse 11 shows some interesting points indeed. The abomination of desolation, or the image of the Beast, will be set up in the rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem. The Temple which the Jews are preparing to inaugurate right now. The Antichrist will covenant with the Jews, at the beginning of the Trib, to reinstate their Temple sacrifice of animals. But, the image of the Beast will cause those sacrifices to cease. There will be a period of 1290 days - 3 and a half years, in the middle of the 7 year Trib. (verse 11).
(4) There is a remarkable prophecy here in verse 12. There is an extra period of 45 days. This may well be the period when Jesus Christ separates the sheep from the goats, which are those nations left at the end of the Tribulation. (Matt 25: 31-33). This appears to be the very early commencement of the Millennial Reign, a preparation, a "clearing of the decks."
(5) A remarkable indication is in verse 13; it is of great interest that Daniel will receive his resurrection body at the same time. Not at the resurrection of the Church, at the Rapture. We can see in Scripture the order of resurrection: (a) Christ was the "first fruits" the first resurrected (32 AD); (b) The Church Age saints will be resurrected at the Rapture; (c) The Old Testament saints will be resurrected at the second advent of Christ (end of Trib.) As shown by Daniel in verse 13; (d) The millennial saints will be resurrected at the end of the Millennial Reign.
CHRIST JESUS ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES. PROPHECY
found in Zechariah 14:1-4 (487 BC). This shows the final attack on Jerusalem. We have seen in our day the strange sight of that small city dominating the world news. She is always under attack, in danger. Here is their Messiah physically coming and defending her.
(1) The Second Advent of Jesus Christ, at the end of the Trib. (NOT the Rapture here) shows Him on the Mount of Olives, which will be split as His feet descend upon it! Verse 5 implies that the cleavage of the Mount of Olives is due to an earthquake caused by the Lord's Coming. This is confirmed without doubt by Isaiah 29:6; Rev. 16:19. There will be massive changes in the landscape of Israel at the cleavage of the Mount of Olives, see verses 4 & 10.
(2)The earthquake is associated with the Gentile invasion under the Beast, or Antichrist (Dan. 7:8; Rev.19:20). At a point of immense distress in the Holy Land, the Lord Himself will go and fight against the nations - those who are the NWO's global unity!
THE START OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION.
The first three and a half years are called Tribulation, but the last three and a half years are the GREAT Tribulation. The first half could be likened to the rise of the NWO's global kingdom, and its failure to bring peace and a Utopia to a deceived world that has trusted the power barons and elite so naively. The last half is "all stops out", and Antichrist reveals the whole cruel holocaust he has prepared for a stupid, Godless globe. PROPHECY found in Matthew 24:15-22 (32 AD).
(1) This is the start of the great Tribulation, a time of unparalleled cataclysm! If God did not intervene, there would be no flesh left on the earth ever again!!! Animals too? Most likely so!
(2) Here we see one of the most blasphemous, terrifying, wicked, acts of all history. The erection of the abomination of desolation, as already mentioned in the OT in Daniel 12:11. It will be an image like unto Nebuchadnezzar's (Dan.2:31; 3:1), set up in the Temple of Jerusalem, and no other God, Goddess, religion, or worship will be allowed but worship of Satan incarnate in Antichrist - as represented in the image.
(3) MAN as an evolved being is represented as well in the image. This is humanistic idolatry at its culmination. Here is the great leader Man has always wanted, who will replace God, who will make all religion obsolete. We see already the horror of this worship of man in our day. People in "Christian" churches put the Pastor on a pedestal, they adore leaders such as Copeland and Hinn, they follow them, not Christ Jesus. The New Age has gurus aplenty who they idolise, the Dalai Lamas, Sri Chinmoys, Maharishis and Popes of this era. Science and academia has its man-gods, such people as Darwin, Marx, Stalin, Mao, Einstein, and Schweitzer. They even now make images of them!
(4) Finally, the mighty dream of all history of evil mankind in the wicked Kosmos comes to a reality. Evolutionary humanism will find its religious climax in the worship of the Beast as the most wonderful of all men, the man amongst all men. He even overcame death (Rev. 13:3) and destroyed the two witnesses of God (Rev.11). They will worship the image of the abomination of desolation as the man in perfection, the one they have waited for, for thousands of years. HE will be the king that will "save the earth" and bring prosperity, peace, freedom from terror and war and usher in the longed for Utopia. He will bring environmental purity!
The abomination of desolation is the sign to flee from Jerusalem! Those who will flee are the Godly remnant in Jerusalem. Many new believers in Christ Jesus amongst them. The "mountains" are the "wilderness" of Revelation 12:14. The wilderness and the mountains are shown by Biblical scholars to be either in Sinai or the mountains of Transjordan, or both of these. Writes Dr Henry M. Morris: "The Transjordan area, south and east of the Dead Sea, embraces the area occupied in biblical times by the Moabites and Ammonites (descendants of Abraham's nephew Lot) and the Edomites (descendants of Jacob's brother Esau)." (P.222, " The Revelation Record.").
THE BEAST WILL EVENTUALLY RULE THE WORLD -
THE NEW AGE NEW WORLD ORDER IN GLOBAL GOVERNMENT.
All that is needed now is a short period of time for the NWO to close the "snare of the fowler" shut! Then, a One World, One Mind leader over a Unified earth, the Global Village. PROPHECY is found in 11 Thessalonians 2:3-10.
(1) This was originally written because of a forged letter that told the Thessalonian believers that the Tribulation had already begun. Paul tells the believers this is not so, for many things have not yet happen. Then he goes on in detail, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God.
(2) Paul shows them that there has to be an apostasy of an awful kind. This mystery of lawlessness under divine restraint had already begun even in the apostle's time (v 7). It would be far worse in the Latter Days, the apostasy of the professing Church, which called itself "Christian" -, Christendom as we know it today! (v 3; Luke 18:8; 11 Timothy 3:1-8). Paul shows the apostasy and the Beast are connected. This is the dictator of the revived Roman Empire, the religious, political leader who is put into power by the false Church led by the False Prophet (the Pope of Rome?)
(3) Read all about the good news! The Coming of Jesus Christ in glory, will be the destruction of the lawless man, the man of sin, the Antichrist, the Beast - and of him who empowered and filled him, the dragon, and he who caused the world to worship the Beast, the False Prophet. ( v. 8; Rev. 19:11-21).
