One of the sure signs of the last days, before the total takeover by the agents of the Anti-Christ, is the clamour for peace in the world. In the midst of wars and bloodshed, leaders of the world talk about peace…lasting peace…without addressing the core issues of why we have peacelessness and bloodshed.
– “1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6
We see wars and bloodshed in the world today, unlike any other time in history. Everyone claims to be “righteous” and “just” but we are going deeper into chaos. In the midst of such turmoil, we see the first clear signs of a world government, where the “leader” will decide what to do, when to do, how to do and also why to do. The rest of the team simply follows the lead of the leader. No questions asked, and no answers will be given.
These are the first clear steps towards the total takeover by the Anti-Christ for his evil master. Mind you, almost the whole world will welcome Anti-Christ with open arms as the saviour of the world. He will be a man of peace. He will be a man who brings prosperity. He will be a leader who brings harmony among the fighting nations. He will be a political leader, a peacemaker, a businessman and the servant of Satan.
– “Together we are in a position to…end decades of suffering, stop generations of hatred and bloodshed, and forge a beautiful, everlasting and glorious peace for that region and for the whole region of the world.” – Donald Trump, as quoted by BBC
Before we go any further let me clarify that I am not suggesting anyone to be Anti-Christ. It would be a failure to predict this. All I wish to do is to present sequentially, all the things that are taking place, right in front of our eyes, and try to make sense of it, in the context of what the Bible talks about as the end times. Try to see what actually is happening around us – WHY is it happening at this very moment. I am wanting to ask questions in the light of all what is happening in the world today. We as Christians should ask these questions. If not, we will fall prey to the wiles of the evil one, and in no time we will be cheerleading for the Anti-Christ, and welcome him with open arms, into our midst.
Let us read some latest headlines about a proposed Board of Peace, consisting of the top political leaders of the world, with various committees under its agency, consisting of all kinds of experts to help out the world in proper order. This Board of Peace will have sweeping powers according to reports.
1- Washington Examiner – “Trump says his Board of Peace might replace UN”
2- Fox News – “Trump floats ‘Board of Peace’ to replace UN, signals major global power shift” By Emma Bussey
– “New board goes beyond Gaza, reflecting new world order where Europe matters less, analysts say.”
3- European Council on Foreign Relations – “Welcome to the jungle: Trump’s Board of Peace goes global” By Hugh Lovatt
– “The US president’s Board of Peace has less to do with peace, in Gaza or elsewhere, and more to do with enforcing a new, transactional global order. Welcome to the America-First Trumpian world.”
4- ABC News – “Why could Donald Trump’s Board of Peace be a threat to the United Nations?” By correspondent Bridget Rollason
– “Many, especially here in New York [home to the UN], are quite concerned this is an effort by the US administration to supersede the power and legitimacy of the Security Council. “Particularly, as it gives Donald Trump the power to essentially have unilateral veto of any of the decisions it makes.”
John McArthur, talking about the coming One World Government and the Great Dictator, the Anti-Christ, spoke these insightful words, a couple of years ago…
– “Now this is a very popular desire, world peace. I think we know that. We’re all aware of the fact that people have been talking about global unity, one world government, for a long time; and there are many conspiracy theories about people secretly moving everything in that direction. But there are also realities which are anything but secret, and they’re not theories but are certainly actions being taken by globalists to move the world toward one world government. This is escalating among the elitists—power-hungry people who control the levers of culture and society. They want one world government.”
First sign for the total takeover by the Anti-Christ is the move towards world peace, which is deception in its finest elements. McArthur further states…
– “So the first sign is massive, massive deception. And what is that deception exactly? Listen to what it says in 1 Thessalonians 5:3. Listen to this. In the end times—Paul is talking about the end times, the day of the Lord, “They [will be] saying”—the false prophets—“‘Peace and safety!’” “‘Peace and safety!’ then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.” What is going to be the deceptive message? “Peace and safety.” Peace and safety. So the first sign of the end is a false peace.” – John McArthur
Control and domination would be masked as worthy and noble ideals. They will be propagated as sincere and unselfish efforts for the greater good of all.
– “They want to eliminate nations so that there are no national wars. And the goal of all of this, if they can create equity, common currency, control the environment, universal taxation, eliminate borders so there’s no illegal immigration, control all crises and end all wars, will bring about world peace. I don’t know if you know this, but they already have a flag. It’s called the One World Flag. It’s the flag of humanity and the unity of the nations. Part of it is green for the earth, humanity, human progress, and unity, agriculture, and life; part of it is blue for the United Nations, hope, water, atmosphere we breathe, and sky; part of it is black for the darkness of space, hardship that humanity will overcome, and the last frontier of human exploration and settlement of the solar system and beyond; and it has thirteen stars because they’ve divided the globe into thirteen regions. One world government. They are serious about this.” – John McArthur
Sadly, John McArthur thinks USA would be the one that oppose the idea of one world enterprise, and will stand against it – “…they have a problem with America because of the emphasis here on nationalism.” I wish to humbly and respectfully disagree. I think it is the West who will initiate it, and will lead it. This has been so till now, and it will be so in the future too. This is seen in the recent developments. Other nations will follow in some form or the other. The Board of Peace is a fine example of how things are going to shape up towards this enterprise of evil, led by a group of individuals that want power,.control and domination of the while world. *We have to read the details of this new idea, and then come to an informed conclusion.
We would do ourselves a great disservice if we approach it with some preconceived sentimental mindset, based on historical facts that, Christian missionaries from West have brought the gospel to us; and they are all from “Christian” nations; therefore, their nations cannot be part of this evil.* We have to draw a distinction between good and wonderful Christian brothers and sister in the West, and the powers that want to control and dominate the whole world. *Look at the history from the Greeks till date – full 2000 plus years of historical evidence right in front of our eyes. Do we need anything more to convince us, as to who wants more than anyone else in the world, the power to control and dominate the whole world?*
The BBC – British Broadcasting Corporation, in their article, “Could Trump’s new Board of Peace sideline the struggling UN?” – By Lyse Doucet-Chief international correspondent says something that we need to pay attention. The article states that, many leaders in the world are skeptical of the motives and intentions.
– “But for many observers and officials in capitals the world over, it is yet more proof of Trump’s drive to dismantle the post-war international architecture and replace it with new institutions – dominated by him.”
The idea is to have an institution which runs more like an empire with the sole arbitrar being the emperor – where all the power is vested in one man, the emperor himself, who would be – the judge, the jury and the executioner… viola we have, what the article says…
– “The idea – born last year in US-led efforts to end the war in Gaza and endorsed by a UN Security Council resolution – now has a much greater, far grander, more global ambition. And it pivots around the president. In leaked details of the draft charter he is the Board’s chairman for life even when he leaves office. Under that charter his powers would be vast: authority to invite member states or not; to create or dissolve subsidiary bodies; and the mandate to appoint his successor whenever he decides to step down, or if he is incapacitated. If any other country would like to become a permanent member, the price is an eye-watering $1 billion (£740m).” – Lyse Doucet – Chief International Correspondent – BBC
I hope I am wrong in my conclusions about West. Sadly, the more I see, the more convinced I am of their culpability as leaders leading the whole world towards the Anti-Christ’s reign. May the LORD help us to see and be watchful in prayer. Even so, the LORD help us.
"The last great delusion is soon to open before us. Antichrist is to perform his marvelous works in our sight So closely will the counterfeit resemble the true that it will be impossible to distinguish between them except by the Holy Scriptures."
