Part 1 of 5 – New World Order

Equipping God's Saints (Followers of Christ) through the Prophecies of the End Times …

We are now going to study the “New World Order Is World Government”. This simply means World Government. But it is not just “any” government. It's the government prophesied for the end of the age in the Bible. The world government over which the Antichrist will rule. Furthermore, it's the World Government prophesied about in YOUR Bible.

Let's look at the term “New World Order”. Believe it or not, it's on the back of your dollar bill. Under the pyramid you will find that ribbon that has the Latin words, “Novus Ordo Seclorum”. Translated, it is “New Order Secular (or World)” Now you may wonder why is it there and who put it there? It has been there since 1935 by US President, Franklin D. Roosevelt. He had dreams of building a one-world governmental system and he's the driving force behind the establishment of the United Nations. He was already planning ahead for 1945 when the United Nations would be born. This is the background of New World Order.

Remember, New World Government is one-world government and is the world government over which the Antichrist will rule.

There are several prophecies in scripture about the world government. We will look at Revelation 13:1, which says:

“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy, and the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion; and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority,”

You'll remember that we already studied about the United States in the Bible from Daniel 7. You probably recognize some of these symbols used in Revelation 13. There is a huge difference you will notice.

This beast we are looking at in Revelation 13 has the body of the leopard; the feet of a bear; the mouth of a lion; the ten horns of the ten-horned kingdom and this beast has seven heads. Now, don't forget to notice this while we're here...

“and the dragon gave him his power and seat and great authority.”

What does all this mean?

Notice that the symbols in Daniel are the same symbols in Revelation, but in Daniel the beasts are four separate beasts. The Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation were written 650 years apart. About 550 BC the Book of Daniel was written with the vision of Daniel 7 where one beast was a lion and had eagle's wings, the second was a bear, the third was a leopard with four heads and the fourth was a 10-horned beast. Yet, we skip ahead 650 years to about 95 AD, when the Book of Revelation and the exact same symbols are being used.

How is it the same symbols are used in Daniel 7 and Revelation 13? The explanation is simple. The same individual wrote both books, He merely changed secretaries. The Bible teaches us holy men of old wrote as they were moved on by the Holy Ghost. The Word of God is God's Word. God wrote the entire Bible, but he used different human instrumentalities. That is the reason He was able to use the exact same symbols in Daniel 7 as in Revelation 13. Yet, He changed it up and used these symbols in a different way.

The four beasts of Daniel 7 (The lion with eagle's wings, the bear, the leopard with 4 heads, and the 10-horned beast) all merge into one beast in Revelation 13. The Bible says the 4 seperate beasts in Daniel symbolize nations but when you move to Revelation 13, they become 1 beast. What's going on here?

In our previous lessons about USA in the Bible and the 4 Beasts of Daniel, we learned that a beast symbolizes a kingdom or a nation. If you go back to Daniel 7:23, it says the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom or nation. So we know that these are nations and we proved that these nations will exist at the time of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Now we see these merging into one beast, or one nation, or one kingdom. This is a picture of a one-world governmental system.

You will remember from our previous teachings that:

1. The Lion with Eagle's Wings = Great Britain with the United States of America
2. The Bear = Russia
3. The Leopard with 4 Heads and the Wings of a Fowl = Germany and France
4. The 10-Horned Beast = The Holy Roman Empire Revived

Now as these beasts merge into one beast, we see that the Wings of the Eagle and the Wings of a Fowl are no longer there. We are not exactly sure. Does it mean that the USA has been wiped out by this time?

Between Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 there is going to be World War III that will kill 1/3 of mankind. The USA is going to probably, most certainly be in that war, so there is a chance that USA could have been wiped off the map. Or, perhaps we have decided after the beating we will take in World War III, we may win the war but at the same time we may lose 25-50 million people. The Bible doesn't say we will or how many we will lose. Once we go through this experience, there may be such an outcry in the United States that it's time for us to stay home and mind our own business. Could it be that the USA has moved into isolation? There is also the chance that we may have come back under the symbolism of the lion, from which we came. We don't know for sure. All we know are the Wings of the Eagle are no longer there. We will go into this more in depth at a later time, but keep it all in the back of your mind.

The combined beast of Revelation 13 represents the end time government of the Antichrist. The United Nations is the only force on earth today, the only structure, that is specifically designed to be a one-world governmental system. This is something you need to know because we are watching all this develop right now as we hear words like “Globalization” and “New World Order”. Is this a good thing? Is this a bad thing? What is really behind all this?
