Global Political Unity


The Bible describes a kingdom in terms of a symbolic beast that “shall devour the whole earth” in the last days and serve as a primary indicator that the return of Jesus Christ is near. This unprecedented global system will bring together the three societal pillars of government, religion and economy in a new way. The first pillar, global political unity, will team with religion and economics to drive the world towards a single, centralized world government. Already, believers in globalism – the concept that our world is interconnected and that our decisions affect the greater community – have concluded that an international body must be established and equipped to lead this brave new world.

“It does provide the beginning of a new vision for humanity”

Our Global Neighbourhood – UN Report (1995)

From ancient times, competition and disharmony have been a feature of relations between neighbours. Conflicting priorities and beliefs, struggles over resources, and continual expansion all led to wars. Over time, this brought ethnic, geographic, or like-minded communities and colonies together to form larger entities for mutual protection and prosperity. Then these tribes or kingdoms or republics fought. In time they formed larger nations and empires, and still they continued to fight.  Along the way, constant compromises had to be made in order to form these unions, as there seemed little other option. Fast-forward to a postmodern world scarred by two world wars, and the nation-state is now seen as the last obstacle to eliminating conflict in the 21st century.

“In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all.”

World Government in the Bible


In the book of Daniel, Chapter 7, four ferocious beasts are depicted coming up out of the sea. These beasts, which Daniel later describes as “kings” and “kingdoms”, reveal the international landscape prior to the formation of world government.

DANIEL 7:3-7

3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, different from one another.

4 The first was like a lion and had eagle’s wings. I watched until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on its feet like a man. And a man’s heart was given to it.

5 And behold another beast, a second, like a bear. And it raised itself up on one side, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said this to it: Arise, eat up much flesh.

6 After this I saw, and lo, another, like a leopard, which had four wings of a bird on its back. The beast also had four heads; and rulership was given to it.

7 After this I looked in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, frightening and terrifying, and very strong. And it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with its feet. And it was different from all the beasts before it; and it had ten horns.

Daniel 7:7

The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it.”

Daniel 7:23

In Daniel’s vision, which he received in Babylon in approximately 550 BC and written down as instructed, God revealed characteristics of the nations that would exist on earth prior to the return of Christ. Further detail was revealed to the apostle John, the author of the book of Revelation, in approximately 96 AD. John was shown that the kingdoms would combine into a single international structure that “shall devour the whole earth”, having “power” and “great authority”. This global-scale “beast” would rule for a period of no less than 42 months (3.5 years) prior to the battle of Armageddon and the establishment of the kingdom of God.

1And I stood on the sand of the sea, and I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns. And on its horns were ten crowns, and on its heads was the name of blasphemy. 2And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and its feet like those of a bear, and its mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him its power and its seat and great authority.

Revelation 13:1-2

As explained in these accounts, the separate beasts or kingdoms of Daniel 7 are now united into a single blasphemous beast in Revelation 13. Their separate attributes (the lion, the bear, the leopard, and the beast of 10 horns) have been integrated into a single kingdom, with the exception of the eagle’s wings, which were “plucked” or torn off.

In the time of this final human kingdom, the world will face unprecedented trouble and suffering which the Bible calls the “great tribulation”. Those whose names are written in the Lamb’s (Christ’s) Book of Life will face great persecution and be hated by all nations because of the name of Jesus. However, this intense and unparalleled suffering will start against the Jewish people living in Judea (the current West Bank). In this final 3.5-year period of human government, Satan will lash out in his ultimate attempt to deceive the world before he is bound and imprisoned for 1,000 years.

“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindred’s, and tongues, and nations.”

Revelation 13:7

“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.”

Matthew 24:21

The formation of world government and the perfection of religious and economic control will be the devil’s last attempt to obtain “worship” from the inhabitants of the Earth. Mass deception and the consequent unwillingness to recognize and follow the true God will ultimately culminate in the battle of Armageddon gathered around the city of Jerusalem, where God’s armies will completely destroy all those who revolt against the Most High.

“I will also gather all nations and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will fight with them there for My people and for My inheritance Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and divided My land.”

Joel 3:2

These modern nations, which exist on the earth today, will be present at Christ’s return. Their authority will be removed, but they will be allowed to continue in God’s Kingdom for a period. The formation and presence of these modern nations is yet another important signpost on the road to Armageddon.

“And the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away. Yet their lives were made longer for a season and time.”

Daniel 7:12

Can you determine which modern nations are represented by the animal symbols in Daniel Chapter 7?

History of World Government


Our world has been shaped by war. In 6,000 years of recorded human history there had never been a war with more than 1 million fatalities prior to World War I. Shortly after “the war to end all wars”, U.S. president Woodrow Wilson was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his role as the chief architect of the League of Nations, which laid an initial foundation for international governance aimed at world peace. The US, however, mindful of its pre-republic experience under British rule, chose to remain sovereign on the international scene; from the start, the authority of the League was compromised by the absence of the very nation that had been instrumental in its charter.

Not long afterwards, World War II broke out, killing more than 52 million people. In the face of untold sorrow and war-weariness, world leaders were determined never to let a global conflict arise again. Their vision produced “the world’s most important political document”, the Charter of the United Nations. Interestingly, the American secretary-general of the conference that created the Charter, State Department official Alger Hiss, would later be convicted of perjury in relation to spying for the Soviet Union.

In 1945, the United Nations Conference on International Organization was aptly summed up in the phrase “never again”. Never again should the world’s leaders fail to prevent a global depression. Never again should they fail to stand up to aggression. Never again should they tolerate governments that assaulted the most basic dignities of their citizens. Never again should they squander the chance to create institutions that would make a lasting peace possible.

The UN Charter provided for a security council where the major victor nations of World War II – the US, Britain, the Soviet Union, France, and China – had “the power to say no”, also known as the veto. These nations did not want an all-powerful system to control what they could do. To avert a potential loss of sovereignty, they signed the treaty with the ability to throw out the council’s decisions as desired. Essentially, the council was created without the necessary ability to govern, and veto power has been criticized ever since as an obstacle to empowerment.

After World War II, Germany was divided into two. The headlines cried out, “Germany is dead; she will never rise again.” Soon after, the Cold War broke out, but the UN was paralysed – the US and the Soviet Union could use their veto power against any resolution produced by opposing nations, as both were permanent members of the UN Security Council.

In November 1987, Ronald Reagan pronounced to the world, “Let’s put WWII behind us – Mikhail Gorbachev, tear down that wall!” Economic integration, it was proposed, would increase prosperity and reduce the chance of war. The same rationale will be used in the push for world government.

On November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall did indeed come down, and just 20 days later, President George H. W. Bush, Pope John Paul II, and Mikhail Gorbachev met in Malta to announce a new age for humanity and the birth of a new world order.

“People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”

Revelation 13:4

The Age of the Global Citizen


The UN, in an attempt to consolidate its global authority, appeals to the hearts and minds of the world community by focusing attention on global issues such as climate change, world poverty, international conflicts, genocide, economic injustice, and children’s rights, to name a few. Its “enlightened” leadership seeks every opportunity to remind us of a “continually interdependent human society which … demands freshness and innovation in global governance” because of our “shared destiny”, according to “Our Global Neighbourhood”, a report commissioned by the UN.

Because the UN has been set up to pursue change on a global scale, the values and philosophies guiding the push “to transform our world” have in many cases been clearly documented, along with the steps deemed necessary to achieve reform. Despite this, the implementation of a true global framework has been difficult, as it requires in practice that member nations yield aspects of sovereignty and become increasingly more interdependent.

Globalists pushing for more centralized authority see national governments as “obstacles to the adoption of international standards”, so various methods have been employed to sidestep their legitimate, democratically established authority. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs), trade unions, religious and environmental organizations are seen as “agents of change”, helping to build the framework for global governance that will “foster global citizenship” and build the “new civil society” centred around the UN.

“An increasingly interdependent world recognizes that the challenges of tomorrow are best dealt with through the UN. Indeed, they can ONLY be dealt through the UN.”

Bon Ki- Moon – Former UN Secretary General

A continual emphasis on global challenges is already persuading many of the need for binding international treaties. These treaties entangle democracies by forcing compliance in matters which are perceived as concerning the international community rather than the citizens of a particular country. When international treaties are ratified, national and state laws must be adapted to comply, and this is often pushed through with little or no democratic process.

“The development of global governance is part of the evolution of human efforts to organize life on the planet…”

Our Global Neighbourhood – UN Report

Social networking enabled by new technologies has also blurred the national lines of authority. Nefarious globalist organisations are using these networking platforms to create the impression of authentic grassroots movements that undermine trust in existing authorities and institutions and nudge the public consciousness in the desired direction.

Another obstacle for the UN system is that it is dependent on the contributions of the member nations over which it is trying to exert authority. Securing financial independence is a top priority. Taxation of sea and flight lanes and international money transfers, as well as a more general global tax, is in their sights for creating revenue.

“It is time for the evolution of a consensus on the concept of global taxation for servicing the needs of the global neighbourhood.”

Our Global Neighbourhood – UN Report

In a news article titled “Unity is Key to Surviving in Today’s World”, Tony Blair explains, “We need to recognize that it’s a battle of ideas.” The battle as far as the globalists are concerned is for the hearts and minds of current and future generations. However, the Biblical account reveals the deceptive nature and inevitable outcome of these alluring philosophies when God is forgotten and humanity, in its pride and self-sufficiency, is led astray.

“A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.”
