GLOBALISM REVISITED

“Utopia” by Leeloosu

“It is not appropriate for Christians to herald planetary doom, thereby attracting and drawing together the fearful. Nor should they yawn in the face of impending calamity by escaping into a comfortable world of complacency, fantasy, or addiction. Instead, Christians must be wise as serpents, gentle as doves. To win over doubters requires wisdom, not stealth; prevailing prayer, not brute force.

“Perhaps more now than ever before, it’s time to shake sleep, study to show ourselves approved, maintain spiritual sobriety, and exercise vigilance. Being well read and up-to-date on vital issues is a great start; but more exactly, believers must heed biblical mandate by praying diligently, exercising faith, and practicing charity.”

This quote comes from the conclusion of a well-written six part article by Debra Rae.  If you are interested in the topic of global government, this well-researched and well-documented effort is worth your time.

I’m not as certain about the white horse rider’s identity as Debra is but who agrees on everything in the book of Revelation?  I think she is spot on for the most part and her conclusion in part one is an example of her insight: – CR

“By design globalism’s inner workings escape the public eye all the while proponents tightly weave together geo-politics with economic and religious components. Its political strand is decidedly socialist; the economic strand, Marxist; the religious strand, varied versions of Cosmic Humanism.

“Make no mistake. Fingered enemies of globalism are sovereign nation-states, free enterprise capitalism, and the God of the Bible. For apparent reason, godly patriots of our nation do well to wake up and sound the alarm before the tsunami of global governance crashes its borders.”

THE GLOBAL ECONOMY – A FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION?

The Green Dragon/Photo by Grumbler

¹⁶And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,

¹⁷and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.

It is this passage in Revelation 13 that causes many Christians to believe that there will eventually be a one world government along with a one world “currency.”

I lean towards this view myself, because of the above verses and other scriptures.  Since the prophecies about Jesus were fulfilled perfectly, I can’t see those that deal with future events having any less accuracy.

Evidently, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon made a statement on Tuesday that would cause many to take notice.  In Cancun, Mexico, at the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, Conference of the Parties 16, Mr. Moon said:

“We need to fundamentally transform the global economy – based on low-carbon, clean energy resources.”

German economist Ottmar Edenhofer, an official with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said in an interview with Neue Zürcher Zeitung on November 14:

“… it’s a big mistake to discuss climate policy separately from the major themes of globalization. The climate summit in Cancun at the end of the month is not a climate conference, but one of the largest economic conferences since the Second World War. … we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy. … One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore ….”

One question I have is: “Why could I not find this story in any mainline sources, including Fox?”

The best I could find was this headline:

U.S. nears agreement to curb destruction of world’s rain forests

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/07/AR2010120707171.html

Are Christians the only ones concerned about the global ambitions of the U.N. or are Christians paranoid?  I think the former is much closer to the truth.

How much the U.N. will be a part of the two verses above are pure speculation.  Jesus told us to “watch,” and that’s what I intend to do.

U.N. CLIMATE SUMMIT ANYTHING BUT

by E. Calvin Beisner, Ph.D.
Founder and National Spokesman,
Cornwall Alliance 

If you think the U.N. climate summit in Cancun November 29 through December 10 is about fixing Earth’s climate woes, think again.

German economist Ottmar Edenhofer, an official with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said in an interview with Neue Zürcher Zeitung on November 14:

… it’s a big mistake to discuss climate policy separately from the major themes of globalization. The climate summit in Cancun at the end of the month is not a climate conference, but one of the largest economic conferences since the Second World War. … we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy. … One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore ….

The reason? Edenhofer explains: “causes of climate change lie in the north and the consequences in the south.” Consequently, “one cannot solve the climate problem alone, but it has to be linked to other problems. There must be penalties and incentives: global CO2-tariffs and technology transfer.” I.e., for the climate change it’s allegedly already caused, the developed world’s got to pay the developing world—and the bill will be trillions of dollars.

Last year in Copenhagen for COP-15 I viewed thousands of protesters carrying signs saying, “System Change, Not Climate Change!” Edenhofer’s comment makes the signs’ meaning clear: Reject capitalist, economic globalization and replace it with socialist, governmental globalization—and redistribute wealth from the West to the rest and political power from dispersed, sovereign nations accountable to their citizens to the centralized, unaccountable U.N.

COP-16 has the same aim.  In 1994, the U.N. Development Program, in its Human Development Report, said:

We strongly believe that the United Nations must become the principal custodian of our global human security. … Global taxation may become necessary … to achieve the goals of global human security. Some of the promising new sources include tradable permits for global pollution, a global tax on non-renewable energy, demilitarization funds and a small transaction tax on speculative international movements of foreign exchange funds.

That, not climate fixing, is what COP-16 is really all about. COP-15 was a dud. Pray that COP-16 will be, too.

THE UNITED NATIONS IS IN HOT SPRINGS

Did you know that the Hot Springs School District has bought into programs sponsored by the United Nations?  Yes, we have a “World School” in Hot Springs.  I took the above picture of the school sign at the World School located on Main Street.  I’ve watched hundreds of parents drop their kids off at the school in the morning.  Do those parents know what their children are being taught?

I have to admit that I don’t know what is being taught on Main Street.  It is my intention to eventually find out what the HSSD is paying for.  It is called “The International Baccalaureate (IB) programme.” I have read more than a few articles about the IB and many of them are unfavorable.  In fact, many school districts have dropped the IB curriculum because of concerned parents.

Have you ever heard of UNESCO?  If you haven’t, UNESCO stands for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

One of UNESCO’s many NGOs is the International Baccalaureate programme.

A non-governmental organization (NGO) is a legally constituted organization that operates independently from any government.

The IB headquarters is located in Geneva, Switzerland.  The Curriculum and Assessment Center for IB is located in Cardiff, Wales.  The Center will soon be relocated to Amsterdam.

According to the IB website:

“The International Baccalaureate (IB) does not own, operate or manage any schools. Instead, we work in partnership with 3,076 IB World Schools in 139 countries who offer our programmes. These schools:

• share the mission and commitment of the IB to quality international education
• have been authorized by the IB to offer one or more of our three programmes
• play an active and supporting role in the worldwide community of IB schools
• share their knowledge and experience in the development of the IB programmes
• are committed to the professional development of teachers.”

Why would Hot Springs buy into a program that has its headquarters in Geneva and its Curriculum Center in Wales?

What exactly is a quality international education?

Why is it so difficult to pin down specifics about an organization that has over 3000 schools in over 130 countries?  I’ve spent several hours searching the internet for specifics of the IB programme and the most of the information I found was at sites discussing the dangers of the IB programme.

I will continue to research the subject and publish what I learn.  I think that Hot Springs residents should know about their “World School.”

DOCUMENTARY FILM HIGHLIGHTS MOVEMENT OF ONE WORLD RELIGION

A young Christian researcher and film maker, Keith Thompson, has published an outstanding work on the topic of the one world religion movement.  His latest film, Aquarius: The Age of Evil, is a look inside the beliefs of One World /New Age occultists.

I am saddened that our young people have to deal with such subjects, but thankful that God has gifted young people like Keith Thompson to help his generation understand the times in which they live.

The following quote is from an interview Keith did last week:

“The global elite (that we call the New World Order) believe in certain things.   Their plan is not just political.  That’s a common misconception that people have.  They think that these elite are just in it for the money, the power, etc.  That’s not the case.  If you look at a lot of these individuals, they have very esoteric and occult beliefs. The main thrust of the New World Order is based on a concept that is known as “The New Age.”

Keith goes on to say that the New Agers believe that we are coming out of the age of Jesus (Pisces) and that we will have a new teacher in the Age of Aquarius.

“Many of these occultists say that the Age of Aquarius will be a one world utopia accompanied by a one world government and a one world ruler.  So, when you look at these New World Order people like Robert Muller, former Assistant U.N. General Secretary…they are all followers who believe that this new age is going to produce…this one world system.”

About a year ago, an acquaintance told me that I should watch the Zeitgeist “movie” on You Tube.  I did.  I found some of the information interesting.  The problem with it: Christianity is marginalized and discredited.  There’s a lot of that going on these days.

What makes Christianity unique is its risen Savior.  Anyone who wants to read about this matchless truth need only look as far as their nearest Bible and the book of Acts (Acts is directly after the four gospels).  The book of Acts describes events in the early church; after Jesus ascended into heaven.  Acts 4: 8-12 states:

⁸Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of the people,

⁹if we are on trial today for a benefit done to a sick man, as to how this man has been made well,

¹⁰let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead–by this name this man stands here before you in good health.

¹¹“He is the STONE WHICH WAS REJECTED by you, THE BUILDERS, but WHICH BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone.

¹²“And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

This last verse is under assault from hundreds of different directions.

We hear a great deal about a New World Order these days.  Mr. Obama used a similar term in his West Point commencement speech on Saturday.  He said: “We have to shape an international order that can meet the challenges of our generation.”

Less than a minute later he said it again: “The international order we seek is one that can resolve the challenges of our times.”  The man was talking to talented young Americans who have chosen to defend this nation and he has the nerve to talk of an international order on the day of their graduation?

Here’s the video.  KARK played the clip on the 6:00 news. You can judge for yourself the intent of the statement:

(I had a link here but it was removed because of “third party copyright infringements.”)

Mr. Obama’s statement is a sign that a one world government is coming.  There as so many other signs.

We don’t hear much about a one world religion.  As a Christian, I believe that the scriptures are clear.  A one world religion will accompany a one world government.

This is the reason that Keith Thompson’s work is timely. His documentation is flawless and his theology is Biblically sound.  The film is well worth your time.

Added on 12/12/2010:

Keith’s original intent was to upload the movie to his You tube channel so that it would be free to all.  After uploading the movie into sections, parts of it were “flagged” and removed by You tube.  Someone complained that sections of the documentary made false statements.

What was false were the allegations as all of Keith’s work was backed by documentation.  Unfortunately, this fact didn’t stop parts of the film from being “flagged” and removed.

Keith ended up selling the DVD on two different websites.

Months later, all sections are up in various places on You tube and the documentary can be seen in its entirety for free.

You may want to listen to a little of the radio interview done with Keith Thompson before watching the 2 ½ hour documentary.  I’ve only seen parts of it myself, but I have read the entire text of the documentary and have sent a review to Keith.  He was appreciative of my remarks.
