With each passing day it seems I have more to examine and more to keep track of in the world around us, particularly in relation to potential mark of the beast technologies in the making and information pointing toward the prophesied new world order the Antichrist is eventually going to lead preparing to rear its ugly head.
The latest groundbreaking news concerning the development of the prophesied new world order involves British Prime Minister Gordon Brown according to both The New Zealand Herald and The Independent.
Prime Minister Brown, as reported by the Herald (emphasis added mine), "has begun secret talks with other world leaders on far-reaching reform of the United Nations Security Council as part of a drive to create a "new world order" and "global society"." The Independent is reporting precisely the same.
A very interesting aspect of Brown's agenda, in my opinion, is a goal he has which I believe is directly targeted at the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which makes this news even more soul-rattling! The below is an excerpt from The Independent's article (emphasis added mine):
Mr Brown will unveil a proposal for the UN to spend £100m a year on setting up a "rapid reaction force" to stop "failed states" sliding back into chaos after a peace deal has been reached. Civilians such as police, administrators, judges and lawyers would work alongside military peace-keepers. "There is limited value in military action to end fighting if law and order does not follow," he will say. "So we must do more to ensure rapid reconstruction on the ground once conflicts are over – and combine traditional humanitarian aid and peace-keeping with stabilisation, recovery and development."
Recently, as I've reported on this website on numerous occasions, the revived Roman empire of Bible prophecy we commonly refer to as the European Union created rapid reaction forces for this same purpose but what Brown is proposing has even greater significance as it potentially sets the stage for the creation of a global military, one that will, potentially, act under the direction of the new world order/global society Brown envisions. Most importantly, I want all of my readers to peer very closely at the language of the excerpt above, particularly the area highlighted in blue as there is a tidbit of information there of great interest to those of us awaiting the return of Jesus Christ our Lord for His Church!
The proposed rapid reaction forces Brown would like to see created are to be earmarked for dealing with "failed states" that slide back into chaos after a peace deal has been reached! What "state" is the international community so desperate to create it would do practically anything to ensure its survival upon a peace deal being reached? There's only one that comes to mind for me - the one President Bush hopes to see created before he leaves office next year! That would be a Palestinian state!
I can't begin to recall how many times I've written here that the prophesied Antichrist to come isn't necessarily going to be the one who brokers a peace deal in the Middle East between Israel and her enemies. He is going to be the man who makes the impossible possible in the Middle East by confirming (or making strong) a seven-year covenant of peace in the region according to Daniel 9:27.
How, as I have posed the question before, does the international community confirm peace today? It does so through the utilization of international peacekeeping forces! Furthermore, as we read in Daniel 9:27, peace is going to be confirmed by the Antichrist "with many" in support of his efforts. It's simply amazing how close we are, in concept, to Daniel's prophesies becoming reality!
Moments like these make me feel like running through the streets telling people that Jesus Christ's return is so near we can almost reach out and touch it! Amen?
Keep Gordon Brown on Your Spiritual Radar
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is someone who now needs to be on the 'radar screen' of everyone as an active organizer of the new world order to come - a man who is openly bringing us closer to the advent of the Antichrist, a leader of Roman descent whose grand appearance on the world stage as the world's most admired political figure and peacemaker will be preceded by the Rapture of the Church, than anyone in recent memory from my perspective. Am I suggesting I think Gordon Brown may be the Antichrist in the making? Absolutely not. As my regular readers know, I don't believe that person's identity is going to be known with certainty on this side of the Rapture of the Church. Keeping a wary eye on a man or woman seeking the creation of the new world order, however? I definitely believe that can yield clues as to the closeness of our Lord's return! Absolutely! In fact I think it wise to be watchful concerning all things that hold prophetic significance, which I hope I'm effectively demonstrating through my work.
The Intrigue of it All
Adding several elements of intrigue to all of the above is the following as well.
It's possibile that the European Union will soon, potentially as early as next year, seat its very first president as I've detailed in previous commentaries. I honestly struggle to envision anyone becoming the 'George Washington' of the revived Roman empire who isn't the prophesied Antichrist but I always season my suspicions with a grain of salt as I readily admit there's some wishful thinking involved in me suspecting that.
Not only do we have the role the first EU president may play in shaping the world in preparation for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy to occur, is it possible that the United States and the European Union are quietly on their way to becoming one, beginning with the establishment of a transatlantic common market? Jerome Corsi of WorldNetDaily wrote the following, in part, which certainly raises that possibility in my mind if accurate (emphasis added mine):
The plan – currently being implemented by the Bush administration with the formation of the Transatlantic Economic Council in April 2007 – appears to be following a plan written in 1939 by a world-government advocate who sought to create a Transatlantic Union as an international governing body.
An economist from the World Bank has argued in print that the formation of the Transatlantic Common Market is designed to follow the blueprint of Jean Monnet, a key intellectual architect of the European Union, recognizing that economic integration must inevitably lead to political integration.
If Jerome Corsi has his facts straight - and it seems that everything he has reported on in the past concerning the potential creation of a North American Union being in the works has checked out - the answer to one of Christianity's most perplexing questions concerning the last days may have an answer none of us wants to hear. The question? Where does America fit into Bible prophecy?
There is much for us to prayerfully consider that is taking place in the world around us! So much to consider and so many people to try and reach with the gospel of Jesus Christ in these final hours!
Some of what we're hearing, such as what British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is seeking, seems to clearly be pointing toward the future arrival of the prophesied new world order in its entirety and, quite possibly more so than that, the advent of the Antichrist.
Other issues are not quite so easy to officially pin down, such as a North American Union being created that would bring an end to the United States of America as we know it. Another example and developing storyline will be what role, if any, a proposed Transatlantic Common Market coming into existence as soon as 2012 will play in creating the Beast government/new world order the Antichrist will ultimately lead.
The intrigue of it all, Christians!
How any blood-bought saint of the living God doesn't have an eye cast toward heaven and an ear listening for a shout eminating from the clouds is simply beyond my comprehension! And yet, in spite of it all, the lost are wandering around with their heads in a fog, distracted by a million things other than what they obviously need to be with the Church itself largely every bit as ignorant as mainstream society is due to the continued spreading of the 'feel good gospel' many of our nation's most well-known pastors are sharing on a bi-weekly basis leaving their congregations and lost souls completely in the dark concerning the lateness of the hour we're living in.
The end times drama continues.
What next?
