IS a New World Order something we should look forward to? Will it take place and if so, when? Who will be responsible for bringing in this New World Order? Will it be the president of the United States or maybe even the head of the Roman Catholic Church, the pope himself? Where can we find these answers? Does the Bible say anything about this important subject that will affect the whole world? Let’s look at some information that will help us get a better picture of upcoming events.
We have an obligation, says Pope Francis current pope as of 2018, to take care of those around us. And to do that, we have to steward our resources. It should be the new world order.
Francis made the comments during his South America tour, according to the Associated Press.
"As stewards of these riches which we have received, we have an obligation toward society as a whole and toward future generations," he told reporters. "We cannot bequeath this heritage to them without proper care for the environment, without a sense of gratuitousness born of our contemplation of the created world."
This isn't the first time the Pope has called for a focus on sharing resources, and in doing so, he's gained many critics.
Some have called the Pope's suggestions "pure Marxism," and some believe that his policies indicate he is the last pope before Christ returns.
Yet Francis remains firm.
"The goods of the earth are meant for everyone, and however much someone may parade his property, it has a social mortgage," Francis said. "The tapping of natural resources, which are so abundant in Ecuador, must not be concerned with short-term benefits."
What Is In Store For The Future?
Catholicism, with the cooperation of the United States, wants to bring about a one-world government. Will they succeed and set up another world empire to try to bring about world peace and order?
Lets look and see if the Bible talks about this most important subject, the New World Order.
The Bible Has Much To Reveal
The Bible has much to reveal about what is going to happen in the world. In the book of Daniel we can find the answers.
"And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him." Daniel 2:1.
Nebuchadnezzar was greatly disturbed by his dreams, but could not remember the details and was very distressed. He put forth a decree that unless the dream was made known to him, all the wise men and astrologers of ancient Babylon would be slain. Daniel and his three friends were among this group of wise men. All of the other wise men and astrologers could not tell the King his dream or any part of it. Daniel and his three companions prayed for the God of heaven to reveal to Daniel the king’s dream. God allowed Daniel to dream the same dream that King Nebuchadnezzar had dreamed.
In Nebuchadnezzar’s dream he saw a great image. The head of the image was pure gold; its chest and arms of silver; the thighs were of brass; and the legs were made of iron. The feet were composed of iron mixed with clay. The King saw a stone cut out of a mountain without human help, fly through the air and strike the image, upon its feet. The gold, silver, brass, iron, and clay were completely shattered and broken, and ‘became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors.’ Daniel 2:35, and the wind blew them all away. Then the stone began to grow, soon it became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
God Had Shown Him. . .The Future
Years later more events of the dream began to take place. Belshazzar, who was Nebuchadnezzar’s grandson, was the king when the Babylonian empire fell. Belshazzar was holding a drunken feast. During this feast Belshazzar decided to mock the God of heaven by drinking wine from the sacred cups taken from the temple of God when Jerusalem had been captured by his grandfather. While the crowd was drunk, a supernatural hand appeared, writing on the wall: "MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN." The meaning as given in the Bible is: "God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. . . . Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians." Daniel 5:26- 28. That very night Darius overthrew Babylon, killed Belshazzar, and Medo-Persia was the new world empire.
The overthrow of Medo-Persia took place by the Greeks at the Battle of Arbela in 331 BC. Greece, which succeeded Medo-Persia, was divided into four parts at the death of Alexander the Great, and finally lost world dominion, being overthrown and succeeded by Rome at the Battle of Pydna in 168 BC.
Daniel had also told Nebuchadnezzar about the fourth and last earthly kingdom, "And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise." Daniel 2:40. "And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. . . . but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay." Daniel 2:41- 43. Daniel told the King that the fourth world empire, Rome, would be divided as represented by the ten toes of the image. Some of the resulting nations would be strong and some would be weak. This has been fulfilled as the nations of Europe are the successors to the Roman Empire.
A One World Government Shall Not Cleave
The new attempt to bring about a New World Order is another effort to form a one-world government. All the attempts that have been made to bring about another world empire have failed, and it has been at great loss of human lives. The reason that they all have been, and will continue to be unsuccessful is because they are not listening to the God of heaven. He told Daniel that there would not be another world empire after Rome. The nations have gone against the Word of God. Their lust for power and wealth have caused war and bloodshed.
All Attempts Have Failed At A One World Government
But Daniel’s prophecy goes on and explains the future, the near future. ". . . the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure." Daniel 2:44,45.
God’s kingdom will not come as a result of politics. God says that He will set up His kingdom, and His kingdom will stand forever. The time prophecy for God’s kingdom to be set up is in the very near future. Jesus’ second coming will usher in the last and eternal kingdom. All the events that we see rapidly taking place in the world point us to the soon coming of Christ. We will not see a one-world empire this side of heaven. You can be a part of God’s kingdom. Won’t you ask Him to come into your heart now so you can be ready for Jesus’ soon coming.
In The Name Of World Peace
The world will make another attempt to unite, but this is just a false hope of world peace. We know that we have a more sure word of prophecy, and that the Bible explains to us the next kingdom is God’s kingdom. This good news brings to our hearts the promise of everlasting peace, and the joy of spending eternity with God. Just think of it. "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." Rev. 21:4.
