Working Toward the Big Dream:ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT

Representatives of the United States and the European Union signed a new "transatlantic economic partnership" at a recent summit in Washington DC. Ms. Angela Merkel, president of the European Union, and George Bush, president of the Untied States, (see photo) agreed to set up an "economic council" to move ahead with regulatory convergence in some 40 areas, including intellectual property, financial services, business takeovers and open skies-the ability to fly to airports anywhere in Europe and America without the need for passports or visas.The American dollar may soon be replaced with the "amero," a suggested new currency (similar to the "euro"), allowing Canada, the US and Mexico to move toward a "North American Community"-a union similar to the European Union. Someday soon, borders will be open, requiring no passports or visas. Instead, an embedded mark in the hand or forehead will be used for instant personal identification. The problem of illegal aliens will be solved. We will all be one big happy family.Are you wondering why such moves are being made without asking for a vote of the citizenry?The answer lies in the United Nations' move toward one-world government. Plans are afoot to divide the world into ten economic/political regions. The United Europe is one region, and the North American Community is another. Around the world, regions are currently being developed. Some are further along than others, but 2010 appears to be an achievable goal for the emergence of world government.In a recent issue of Foreign Affairs magazine (a CFR publication) , Benn Steil, director of international economics at the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) advocated the globalization of all currencies. In his article entitled, "The End of National Currency," he said, "The right course is not to return to a mythical past of monetary sovereignty, with governments controlling local interest and exchange rates in blissful ignorance of the rest of the world. Governments must let go of the fatal notion that nationhood requires them to make and control the money used in their territory."He continued, "In order to globalize safely, countries should abandon monetary nationalism and abolish unwanted currencies, the source of much of today's instability.Monetary nationalism is simply incompatible with globalism." He also stressed that "the dollar's privileged status as today's global money is not heaven-bestowed. The dollar is ultimately just another money supported only by the faith that others willingly accept. Reckless U.S. fiscal policy is undermining the dollar's position even as the currency's role as a global money is expanding. A new gold-based international monetary system surely sounds far-fetched, but so, in 1900 did a monetary system without gold." Steil imagines the ultimate solution is to privatize a global currency through a gold-based international monetary system.
So far, the euro and the amero are in the works. We do not yet know what the other eight world currencies will be called, but we can be sure that plans are being formulated. Why do we think this? Because, in April l968, a group of 30 people from ten industrialized countries met in Italy, to organize the "Club of Rome." They studied the social and economic problems our world will face in the future, and their findings were published in two books: The Limits to Growth and Mankind at the Turning Point. In The Limits to Growth, the statement is made that our population will continue to multiply at an ever-increasing rate. In the autumn of 2000, Earth's population reached six billion. As of April 10, 2007, another 594,322,780 babies were born- reaching toward 6.6 billion-and the world's population continues to increase every day. According to statistics, there are 3.2 billion acres of land on planet Earth. That estimate includes the mountains and the deserts. Of this acreage, about half is presently under cultivation. According to their study, it takes about four-tenths of an acre to feed one person for one year. That's hardly enough to feed our planet's present population. But as the population growth continues, men will have to use more land for the building of roads and houses, business districts and cities. Eventually, men will have to find new methods of watering the deserts and cultivating the mountains.Our world's supply of land will barely feed our present population. Yet, the amount of available land is decreasing rapidly. As men build more cities and roads, there will be less land available for crops. By the year 2050 there may not be enough land to feed the starving masses of humanity.The Club of Rome also reported that the resources of our world are diminishing.They claim that even taking into account such economic factors as increased prices with decreasing availability, it would appear at present that the quantities of oil, platinum, gold, silver, copper, zinc, and lead are not sufficient to meet demands at the present rate of expansion.By the year 2050, several more minerals may be exhausted if the current rate of consumption continues. If you are wondering why gasoline prices continue to climb, just remember, the supply will not last forever. In the long term, oil companies can see that demand is outstripping supply.In 1976 the Club of Rome issued their second report in a book entitled, Mankind at the Turning Point. In this report the following analysis is given: "By the year 2025 the demand for food in southeast Asia will be a catastrophic disparity." And then with emphasis, the statement is made that "if, during this coming half-century, a viable world system emerges, an organic growth pattern will have been established for mankind to follow thereafter."If a viable system does not develop, projections for the decades thereafter may be academic. The most precious of all resources is food, and, according to an UNESCO report, it has been calculated that the availability of food per capita worldwide has not increased since 1936, and actually has decreased in recent decades.Twenty years ago, world stockpiles of food for emergency relief amounted to an 80-day supply. Today, those reserves are sufficient for only 30 days consumption. Before World War II, the world was about evenly divided into regions that imported food and regions capable of exporting food. Since then, some regions-most significantly Latin American and Eastern Europe-that were exporters, have become importers. According to the present estimates, only the United States and Australia can be considered as major potential sources of food supply. According to the Club of Rome, America is the hope of the world.But what would happen if our food supplies were curtailed-if America was not able to supply the world? According to the report the number of people under 15 years of age who will die of starvation by the year 2025 is estimated to be around 500 million. The world population is increasing on such an exponential curve that there is no way men could possibly save the human race from itself.According to the Club of Rome, the only feasible solution to the overwhelming problems facing our world in the near future is laid out in five parts: First, a global approach must be made to the problem. Second, investment, rather than commodity aid, must be made to underdeveloped nations, except for food. Third, a balanced economic development must be considered for all regions. Fourth, an effective population policy must be implemented. Fifth, worldwide diversification of industry-a global economic system.According to this group of intellectuals from ten of the world's leading industrial nations, only a proper combination of these measures can lead to a solution. Omission, they said, of any one measure will surely lead to disaster.Their only answer is world government; and they have set about to achieve their goal. A United Europe is becoming a workable reality. A new one-world monetary system is being developed. Talks continue between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico-in spite of our need for secure borders.The devil has a plan for enslaving the human race. Details are spelled out in the book of Revelation. It all boils down to the "mark of the beast." Come to think of it, wearing your bank account on your skin is the only way to keep someone from stealing it. Identity theft is being touted as the world's leading problem that begs to be solved. Personal identification embedded in one's flesh would replace the need for passports and visas, currency and coins.Finally, the world is looking for one man who can solve all of its problems, supply all of its needs, and save the human race. When he is needed, he will be there as Satan's "man of the hour."The Antichrist will set about to accomplish what the Devil has been planning for 6,000 years.He will establish a one-world government. He will attempt to get rid of God and set up himself upon the throne of this world. He will try to make slaves out of the human race.
But that is not the end of the story. He will only succeed in bringing the world to the brink of disaster. All of his efforts will end at Armageddon, and the real Savior will appear to take His rightful place as the master problem-solver. Only He who created this world can save it.Jesus Christ is coming back. When He comes, there will be no more famine; no more hunger; and no more starvation. He will establish a thousand years of peace and prosperity. He will establish His throne and take His rightful place as King of kings and Lord of lords.The Apostle Paul paraphrased Isaiah's prophecy as he said: "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (Philip. 2:10); and Isaiah wrote: "For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea" (Isa. 11:9) -- when Jesus comes!
