Obama – King of the World? :: by Jan Markell

Barack Obama doesn’t just want to fundamentally transform America. His sights are on the world. Many stories are breaking that he aspires to become the General-Secretary of the United Nations. Such talk is no longer Internet rumor.

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.

Lucifer Makes Prime Time :: by Jan Markell

“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse…” (II Timothy 3:13).

I guess the Fox Network really is fair and balanced. They present the good, the bad, and the truly ugly. In this case the “ugly” is a program about Lucifer. That’s right: Lucifer leaves Hell and becomes a resident of Los Angeles. I’m not making this up.

A trailer for the show portrays Lucifer as a handsome, British-accented, well-to-do lady killer full of charm and wit. The more subtle side of Satanism in Hollywood entertainment is now a thing of the past. Prime time television now will air blatant drama featuring Lucifer but portrayed by a character who is just a nice guy.

Based on the show’s trailer, the Lucifer character will be offered up to the masses who watch the Fox program as a likable character with moral and ethical convictions, fulfilling the biblical account of this insidious demonic entity. It’s only fitting then, that this modern-day show would portray Lucifer as a type of benevolent god, since this was always his goal. It was to take the place of the real God.

One commentator said that the masses are increasingly obsessed with evil so why not make a program glorifying Satan? You might say that Hollywood has done that for decades and featured their offerings to the evil one on the big screen and you would be correct, but this program will be prime time, available to millions with just the turn of a dial or push of a TV transmitter.

Satan, disguised as Mr. Nice-Guy, will come leaping into the family rooms of millions of unsuspecting people, and particularly into the minds of impressionable young people.

The entertainment and book industry have paid homage to Lucifer for years and with each generation, the interest becomes more and more staggering — and more bold and blatant.

Hollywood has offered us “The Omen,” “Rosemary’s Baby,” “The Exorcist,” endless Halloween dramas, Freddy Kruger’s evil, and many nightmares on Elm Street, but now it is not just coming to a street near you, it is coming to your living room. And on a network you thought you could trust.

Lucifer will make prime time TV.  On a reality show that may be all too real.

He has even influenced Christian publishing. In the 1930s, two women channeled a book called “God Calling.” They heard from demons in other words. That book remains a big hit today. From that came the modern day best-seller, “Jesus Calling.”  This author credits “God Calling” as her inspiration. How is this possible?

Tell me these aren’t the last of the last days? Try to convince me that is not true.

There is an undeniable increase in wickedness today. So what is our response?

Let our light so shine before men that they see our good works and glorify our Father, who is in Heaven. When evil increases – we must do good. We must delay the decay.

Mike Oppenheimer of “Let Us Reason” writes, “God did not invent evil, however he knew it would come about. Yet He did not stop it but made a provision for it when it would rear its ugly head.

“There is coming a day when this will be taken care of. Right now we are in position of grace where God is commanding all men everywhere to repent.”

Oppenheimer says, “First, evil is a necessary part of free will. Man has free will — we can choose what we want. We sin because we want to sin. It is our natural inclination. We follow our strongest nature at any given time. We are not morally inclined toward God.

“As J. B. Phillips has put it: Evil is inherent in the risky gift of free will. God could have made us machines but to do so would have robbed us of our precious freedom of choice, and we would have ceased to be human. We all exercise free choice in the direction of our nature which is traced to the ‘fall’ of man.

“This is the basic reason for evil and suffering in the world. It is man’s responsibility, not God’s. Why does God permit evil?  He could stop it, but in so doing would destroy us all.

“It is worth noting that the whole point of real Christianity lies not in interference with the human power to choose, but in God producing a willing consent for us to choose good over evil. He offers us choice and by doing so a chance to grow and understand the difference.”
The world was this evil during the days of Noah but they didn’t have the entertainment world glorifying it. We know what the consequences of the evil of Noah’s day were. The last days are compared to the days of Noah.

Need I say more?

The devil can roar all he wants. He knows his time is short. But he is making good use of his time.

A final thought: Is Antichrist’s reign on earth so close that this paves the way?
