We hear a lot about global government today, and we do not know if
this will be represented by the United Nations. Since we are late in the
eschatological game, we probably don't have time for another body to
rise up and control this world government.
Those who defend the notion of a world government claim that it
would be a benign federation of nations structurally similar to our
federal government. It is touted as the solution to all of society's
ills. We can wipe away war, poverty, and all injustice. There would
absolutely be no want. They suggest this would perpetuate global peace
and prosperity.The truth is, it would be an Orwellian nightmare.
The Beast
In Revelation 13, John sees the "beast," also called the
Antichrist, rising out of the sea having seven heads and ten horns. This
corresponds with Daniel 7. Some kind of world system will be
inaugurated by the beast. Many theologians conclude that this will be a
one-world government.
It is hard to imagine how such a diverse system of government would
willingly subjugate themselves to a single ruler. How would Communism,
capitalism, democracy, and Islam all get along? The Antichrist would
have the power to make this happen or dissolve all of these systems and
blend them into one. He will have Satanic power to do this.
When does this world ruler ascend to his throne? Many conclude it
will be when the disasters and plagues described in mid-Revelation are
playing out in a devastating way. Others feel it makes more sense that
he will seize control right after the chaos of the Rapture.
The current U.N. Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon's term is set to
end on December 31, 2016. Barack Obama is available on January 21, 2017.
Enter Bibi Netanyahu
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, working with moderate Arab nations, is on record as saying, "Isn't
eight years of having Obama in office enough? Eight years in which he
ignored Israel. And now he wants to be in a position that is liable to
cause us hardship in the international arena."
Will He Be "King of the World"?
Some are suggesting that if Obama pursues this agenda and gets it he will consider himself "king of the world". Investors Business Daily warned
over a year and a half ago that President Obama wasn't about to spend
his post-presidency time building houses like Jimmy Carter. There were
signs that he would seek to become head of the U.N.
An Israeli newspaper recently ran a cartoon with this "king of the world" theme.
A covenant will be made with Israel (Daniel 9) and a world body
during the Tribulation. The Antichrist will make a covenant, then break
that covenant, with Israel, during the Tribulation.
The U.S. Under U.N. Authority?
Would Obama place the U.S. under U.N. authority? As a presidential
candidate in 2007 he wrote, "The security and well being of every
American depends on the security and well being of those who live beyond
our borders. The mission of the United States is to provide global
leadership grounded in the understanding that the world shares a common
security and a common humanity."
For the mostly undemocratic powers represented in the U.N., having a
former U.S. President who serves their interests, for all intents and
purposes "King of the World," would be a dream come true. Never has the
head of a major world power served in this role. Rules and traditions
would likely have to be broken.
Addicted to the Roar
Canada's National Post asks, "What post-presidency career
would Obama consider worthy of his future attention and efforts? Few
jobs of Olympian prestige are available, and his self-admittedly vast
self-esteem might diminish the list still further. We agree with a
number of other observers that Obama has his sights set on the office of
United Nations Secretary-General."
Barack Obama will wave a reluctant good-bye. He is addicted to the roar. He will never forsake the spotlight he loves so much.
Pinning the Tail on the Antichrist
We are not privileged to know if any U.N. role will be played out
by the Antichrist. Those who continually play the "pin the tail on the
Antichrist" game are only guessing.
Only God knows who these end-time king-pins will be. His partner is
called the False Prophet. Are they alive and well? Likely so.
We don't know if this transition at the U.N. will happen in 2017.
If it does, Barack Obama will become the most dangerous man in the
world. And possibly, the most powerful.
The timing of this is diabolical as the world awaits a savior to solve its many problems.
