WORLD GOVERNMENT: WEF, UN, WHO, SATAN, THE MAN-BY-SATAN (MBS) AND THE ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT

Daniel 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, A KING OF FIERCE COUNTENANCE, AND UNDERSTANDING DARK [POLITICAL] SENTENCES, SHALL STAND UP [RISE UP ON THE WORLD’S STAGE].

24 And his power shall be mighty, BUT NOT BY HIS OWN POWER: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and SHALL PROSPER, AND PRACTISE, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

25 And THROUGH HIS POLICY ALSO HE SHALL CAUSE CRAFT TO PROSPER IN HIS HAND; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

26 And the VISION [2030] of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the VISION (2030); for it shall be for many days.

JESUS WARNED US: IN THE LAST DAYS, PEOPLE WILL IGNORE PROPHETIC WARNINGS

By Greg Laurie August 28, 2024

What a violent culture we live in today. Violent crime is sweeping the country. We’re afraid to go out on the streets at night. JESUS SAID THAT THINGS WOULD BE INCREASINGLY WICKED IN THE LAST DAYS, AND THE CLIMATE OF THE TIME PRIOR TO HIS RETURN WOULD BE SIMILAR TO THE CLIMATE OF THE TIME DURING NOAH’S LIFE. So what was it like in Noah’s time? Are there any distinguishing characteristics that parallel our own?

IN NOAH’S DAY TWO SINS PREDOMINATED: EXCESSIVE VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL PERVERSION. Genesis 6:5, speaking of Noah’s time, says, “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”

There were other characteristics of Noah’s day as well. Jesus said, “For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” (Matthew 24:38–39).

We might paraphrase this statement by saying it was business as usual. Noah was building a massive ark without a body of water nearby. There hadn’t even been rain on earth at that point. But Noah faithfully followed the directions God had given him. And as the years went by, he kept on with the job God called him to. No doubt people thought of Noah as some sort of crackpot.

JESUS WAS SAYING THAT IN THE LAST DAYS, PEOPLE ALSO WILL IGNORE PROPHETIC WARNINGS. THEY’LL DISREGARD THE CLEAR MESSAGE OF GOD TO THEM. FOR THE MOST PART IT WILL BE BUSINESS AS USUAL. PEOPLE WILL GO ON WITH THEIR DAY-TO-DAY ACTIVITIES.

What It All Means

However, THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL FOR ANYONE WHO WILL PAY ATTENTION.

And just as Noah was mocked, followers of Jesus will be mocked as well, because that, too, is a sign of the last days. PEOPLE TODAY LAUGH AT THE CONCEPT OF BIBLE PROPHECY AND THE RETURN OF CHRIST, BUT ONE DAY THEIR MOCKERY WILL CEASE AND THEIR LAUGHTER WILL STOP WHEN JESUS FULFILLS HIS WORDS. He is coming back.

The apostle Paul, writing about the first arrival of Jesus Christ to this Earth, said, “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons” (Galatians 4:4–5).

And again when the time comes, Christ will return. Peter wrote: “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:8–9).

According to Scripture, THERE IS A GENERATION THAT WILL NOT SEE DEATH. INSTEAD THEY WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH IN WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH. This is what Jesus was referring to when He said: “Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left” (Matthew 24:40–41).

THE RAPTURE / HARPAZO OF THE BRIDE OF CHRIST. DREAMS AND VISIONS

Instantaneously millions of believers from around the globe will be caught up into God’s presence. This is spoken of elsewhere in the Bible as well. Paul wrote: “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” (1 Corinthians 15:51–52).

And John wrote: “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:2).

A Happy Anticipation

Christ is coming for His church, and He said: “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14:2–3).

In the original language, the phrase “come and get you” implies seizing by force. That is exactly what Jesus will do. He will return and take His people into His presence.

Are you ready for His return? Are you looking for it? It means being ready to meet Him. It means living in anticipation of the return of Christ.

To put it another way, it means that YOU SHOULDN’T BE DOING THINGS THAT WOULD HINDER YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE. The teaching of the return of Christ should serve as a motivator, as a comfort to you. As John said, “And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure” (1 John 3:3).

A. B. Simpson pointed out: “There are two ways of looking at the Lord’s coming: a looking for it and looking at it. It is possible to look at it with keen intellect and a profound interest, and yet have it mean nothing to us personally. It is also possible to know but little of the theology of the subject, and yet have a deep and holy longing for the Lord to appear. May this theme be not only our study but also our personal hope.”

It isn’t just intellectually saying, “I know Christ will come again.” Rather, it’s looking for and welcoming His return. And IF THERE’S ANYTHING IN OUR LIVES THAT SHOULD BE CHANGED, ANYTHING THAT IS NOT RIGHT WITH GOD, WE SHOULD DEAL WITH IT NOW.

Two passages in the Bible say that “in the last days, scoffers will come.” Second Peter 3:3 and Jude 1:18 both explain what that means. A “SCOFFER” IN THIS CONTEXT IS ONE WHO MOCKS CHRIST, RIDICULES THE THINGS OF GOD, AND OPPOSES THE GOSPEL. Both Peter and Jude were writing warnings against false teachers who were intent on leading others astray. THE WORD SCOFFER REFERS TO ONE WHO DENIES THE TRUTHS OF SCRIPTURE AND ENTICES OTHERS TO GO ALONG WITH HIS ERROR.

CHRISTIAN APOSTASY AND REVEALING THE MAN BY SATAN (MBS)

Scoffers have been present since the Garden of Eden. Satan’s first temptation of man was in the form of scoffing at God’s command: “Did God really say—?” (Genesis 3:1). Scoffers dominated Noah’s day (Genesis 6:5–8Hebrews 11:7), leaving God with little choice but to destroy them all and start over with Noah, the only righteous man on earth. SCOFFERS REFUSE TO BELIEVE THE WORD OF THE LORD AND SET THEMSELVES UP AS THEIR OWN GODS (2 Chronicles 36:16). The psalmist warns against the digression that leads from casual association with wicked people to sitting “in the seat of scoffers” (Psalm 1:1, ESV), EMBRACING THEIR WORLDVIEW—AND SHARING THEIR FATE.

Revelation 19:20 And THE BEAST WAS TAKEN, AND WITH HIM THE FALSE PROPHET that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. THESE BOTH WERE CAST ALIVE INTO A LAKE OF FIRE BURNING WITH BRIMSTONE.

Revelation 20:15 And WHOSOEVER WAS NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.

Although scoffers have always been a part of this fallen world, Scripture seems to indicate that, as the Day of the Lord draws nearer, the scoffing will increase. Peter describes these SCOFFERS AS “FOLLOWING THEIR OWN EVIL DESIRES” (2 Peter 3:3) and questioning the second coming of the Lord Jesus (verse 4). Thousands of years have passed since Jesus ascended into heaven, promising to return for His faithful ones (John 14:1–4Revelation 22:12). Scoffers point out the lapse of time and mock those who still wait and yearn for His appearing (2 Timothy 4:82 Thessalonians 1:7).

JUDE DESCRIBES THE SCOFFERS OF THE LAST DAYS AS PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW UNGODLY DESIRES AND CREATE DIVISION IN THE CHURCH (Jude 1:18). They may even present themselves as church leaders, but they “do not have the Spirit” (verse 19). Paul goes into more detail about the condition of the world before Jesus returns: “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people” (2 Timothy 3:1–5). Scoffers will fit right in with such a crowd.

We already see an increase of scoffers in our world today, and several factors may be contributing to that rise. Constant access to media, the internet, and other forms of technology provide an open platform for anyone with an opinion, and SCOFFING AT EVERYTHING ONCE THOUGHT HONORABLE IS A FAVORITE PASTIME. Scoffers are emboldened on social media by others who can instantly approve of their mockery. Many people are educated beyond their intelligence, and this new world without moral boundaries is producing scoffers instead of thinkers. Many try to use scientific training to say that, since the reality of the Creator God cannot be proved by man’s understanding, God must not exist. In rejecting Scripture, mankind has lost its moral compass, leaving us with no way to determine right or wrong, good or bad, truth or lie. In this climate, anyone who claims to know the truth is a prime target for scoffers.

ARROGANCE LEADS TO SCOFFING, MUCH AS IT DID BEFORE THE TOWER OF BABEL (Genesis 11:1–4). WHEN PEOPLE BECOME PUFFED UP WITH THEIR OWN IMPORTANCE, THEY BEGIN TO CHALLENGE ANYTHING THAT THREATENS THEIR HIGH OPINION OF THEMSELVES. Once we have removed the idea of God from consideration, then anything goes. Scoffers have tried to redefine marriage, obliterate gender binarism, and CREATE A FANTASY WORLD IN WHICH REALITY BECOMES WHATEVER WE FEEL IT IS.

THE RESURGENCE OF BABEL NEOM MBS’ PERSONAL DYSTOPIA

NEOM BABYLON: MOHAMMED BIN SALMAN’S ‘BEAST’S SEAT’ OR ‘GREAT CITY.’

Not long ago, such a mindset was the definition of insanity. Now we are told it is the ultimate wisdom. Romans 1:21–22 has never been more relevant: “Although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.”

THE PROLIFERATION OF SCOFFERS IS A SIGN OF THE LAST DAYS. THEY PROFESS THEMSELVES TO BE WISE, BUT THEY ARE REALLY FOOLS (Psalm 14:1).

Regardless of the eschatological timeline one prefers, WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT THE NUMBER OF SCOFFERS AND DECEIVERS IS INCREASING RAPIDLY, just as Scripture warned us it would (2 John 1:7). It is critically important that every Christian take seriously the commands to study and meditate on God’s Word (2 Timothy 2:15Joshua 1:8) so that we won’t be LED ASTRAY BY THE LOFTY-SOUNDING IDEAS PRESENTED TO US BY SCOFFERS (2 Corinthians 10:5).

Psalm 2:12: “Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little.  Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.”  John 3:36: “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

The formula is simple: if you reject the Son, you will receive the wrath.

Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and UNDERSTAND THAT I AM HE: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

Isaiah 52:6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore THEY SHALL KNOW IN THAT DAY THAT I AM HE THAT DOTH SPEAK: BEHOLD, IT IS I.

Luke 21:28 And WHEN THESE THINGS BEGIN TO COME TO PASS, THEN LOOK UP, AND LIFT UP YOUR HEADS; FOR YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH.
