Rise of the Beast

In a December 8 article titled And now for a world government, Gideon Rachman writes: "A taste of the ideas doing the rounds in Obama circles is offered by a recent report from the Managing Global Insecurity project, whose small US advisory group includes John Podesta, the man heading Mr Obama’s transition team and Strobe Talbott, the president of the Brookings Institution, from which Ms Rice has just emerged. The MGI report argues for the creation of a UN high commissioner for counter-terrorist activity, a legally binding climate-change agreement negotiated under the auspices of the UN and the creation of a 50,000-strong UN peacekeeping force. Once countries had pledged troops to this reserve army, the UN would have first call upon them."

Strobe Talbot is the consummate globalist. He was a Rhodes Scholar, served under Clinton as Deputy Secretary of State, and is a member of the CFR. In the July 20, 1992 issue of Time magazine he said: "In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all."

We are witnessing first-hand the rise of the Beast of Revelation 13. Call it shared sovereignty, global governance, or one-world government, it's all the same: "And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation."

Very good points, Dave. Well, then, let's walk in God's ways and not go quietly. I don't know what's more appalling: the menace presented by these sick elitists, or the obliviousness of the masses to it.

There are certainly some very troubling developments afoot. Whether it's the fulfillment of biblical prophecy I'm not in a position to say. If I were a biblical scholar, as you are Dave, I'd certainly see a number of unsettling signs: the world government movement, the rise of the internet, the correlation of forces aligned against Israel; the unprecedented cultural war in the west against Christianity, the increasingly mainstreamed tendency of calling evil good and good evil; the lack of discernment; the ridicule of virtue. I'm sure you could cite plenty more troubling trends.
