The question of who will control a global government is a matter of much speculation and debate among Christians and non-Christians alike. Some interpret the biblical prophecies of the end times as indicating that there will be a powerful and evil ruler, known as the Antichrist, who will dominate the world with a false religion and a totalitarian regime. Others believe that the global government will be a benevolent and peaceful one, led by Jesus Christ himself, who will return to establish his kingdom on earth. Still others reject the idea of a global government altogether, and argue that the bible does not support such a scenario.
There is no definitive answer to this question, as different biblical passages can be understood in different ways, depending on one's theological perspective and worldview. However, some of the main biblical texts that are often cited in relation to this topic are:
- Daniel 7: This chapter describes four beasts that represent four successive kingdoms that will rule over the earth. The fourth beast is said to be "terrifying and frightening and very powerful" (verse 7), and to have ten horns, which are ten kings who will arise from it. Among them, another horn will appear, which will speak boastfully and oppress God's people. This horn is commonly identified as the Antichrist, who will rule over the final world empire before God's judgment.
- Revelation 13: This chapter depicts two beasts, one from the sea and one from the earth, that work together to deceive and persecute the inhabitants of the world. The beast from the sea is said to have seven heads and ten horns, which are also interpreted as representing a global government under the Antichrist's authority. The beast from the earth is said to perform signs and wonders, and to cause people to worship the first beast and receive its mark on their right hand or forehead. Those who do not comply will be killed.
- Revelation 17: This chapter portrays a woman sitting on a scarlet beast with seven heads and ten horns, which are again symbols of the Antichrist's world empire. The woman is called "Babylon the Great", and is described as "the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth" (verse 5). She represents a false religious system that will seduce and corrupt the nations of the world. She will also be hated by the beast and its allies, who will eventually destroy her.
- Revelation 19-20: These chapters describe the second coming of Jesus Christ, who will defeat the beast and its armies at the battle of Armageddon, and bind Satan for a thousand years. During this period, Christ will reign over the earth with his saints, in what is known as the millennial kingdom. After this, Satan will be released for a short time, and will gather his followers for a final rebellion against God. They will be consumed by fire from heaven, and Satan will be thrown into the lake of fire. Then, God will create a new heaven and a new earth, where he will dwell with his people forever.
The new world order is a term that refers to the emergence of a global political and economic system that transcends the traditional boundaries of nation-states. Some proponents of this idea argue that it is a positive and inevitable development that fosters cooperation, peace, and prosperity among the diverse peoples of the world. Others, however, view it as a sinister and oppressive scheme that threatens the sovereignty, identity, and freedom of individuals and nations. The concept of a new world order has been influenced by various historical events, ideologies, and movements, such as the end of the Cold War, the rise of globalization, the spread of democracy and human rights, and the emergence of new challenges such as terrorism, climate change, and pandemics. The new world order is not a fixed or concrete reality, but rather a contested and evolving vision that reflects the hopes and fears of different actors and interests in the global arena.
Some people may think that the world will end soon, based on their interpretation of certain prophecies or signs. However, the bible does not support such a scenario. The bible teaches that God created the earth to be inhabited and that he has a purpose for it and its inhabitants. (Isaiah 45:18; Numbers 14:21) The bible also shows that God is not the cause of the suffering and evil in the world, but rather that he will eliminate them in his due time. (Psalm 37:9-11; Revelation 21:3,4) Therefore, rather than fearing the end of the world, we can have confidence in God's promises and look forward to a better future.
Many people believe that we are living in the end times, when the world will witness a great war between the East and the West. According to some prophecies, this war will be the final battle of good and evil, and will determine the fate of humanity. Some say that the East represents the forces of darkness, while the West stands for the light. Others argue that both sides are corrupted by greed and power, and that there is no clear distinction between right and wrong. Whatever the case may be, it is clear that the tensions between the East and the West are rising, and that a clash is inevitable. Some of the signs of this conflict are the political and economic instability, the environmental degradation, the religious extremism, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Many fear that this war will be nuclear, and that it will cause unprecedented destruction and suffering. Some hope that this war will be averted, or that it will be followed by a new era of peace and harmony. Others prepare for the worst, and seek refuge in faith or survivalism. No one knows for sure when or how this war will start, or how it will end. But one thing is certain: in the last days, the final conflict will rage between the East and the West.
The question of whether the Bible mentions ten super nations is a matter of interpretation and debate among some Christians. Some believe that the ten horns of the beast in Revelation 13 and 17 represent ten future world powers that will arise in the end times and oppose God's people. Others argue that the ten horns are symbolic of the totality of human governments throughout history that have persecuted the saints. There is no clear consensus on how to identify the ten horns or what role they will play in God's plan. However, some possible candidates for the ten super nations are:
- The European Union
- The United States of America
- Russia
- China
- India
- Brazil
- Japan
- Iran
- Turkey
- Egypt
These nations are among the most influential and populous in the world today, and some of them have historical or prophetic connections to the biblical narrative. However, this list is not definitive or authoritative, and it may change as world events unfold. Ultimately, the Bible does not give us enough details to pinpoint the exact identity of the ten super nations, but it does warn us to be alert and faithful in the face of increasing opposition and deception in the last days.
Many people believe that the Bible prophesies a New World Order of ten super nations led by the U.S. However, this is a misinterpretation of the biblical passages that refer to the end times. The Bible does not support such a premise, and in fact warns against the deception and tyranny of the Antichrist, who will rise to power in the last days and deceive many nations with his false signs and wonders. The Bible teaches that only Jesus Christ, the Son of God, can establish a true and lasting kingdom of peace and justice on earth, and that he will return in glory to judge the living and the dead. Therefore, Christians should not be deceived by any human leader or alliance that claims to bring about a New World Order, but rather trust in God's sovereign plan and await his coming with hope and faith.
To suggest that the mouthpiece of the U.S. government, Joe Biden, is doing whatever he can to bring in a global government is misrepresenting what the Bible actually says and is misleading. These are conspiracy theories that have no basis in reality or in the Bible. The Bible does not mention any specific nations or leaders in relation to the end times, and it does not endorse any political agenda or ideology.
