S
everal specific prophecies are
given in the Bible foretelling the
establishment of a world government
upon the earth immediately before the
Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
Daniel 7:23 states,
The fourth beast shall be the
fourth kingdom upon earth, which
shall be diverse from all kingdoms,
and shall devour the whole earth,
and shall tread it down, and break
it in pieces.
This prophecy goes on to say that
this world government and its leader,
the Antichrist, will rule the world for
3½ years. The world government will
then be destroyed by Jesus Christ at
His Second Coming.
Another prophecy foretelling
this same world government is given
in Revelation 13:5-7. Verse 5 states
the Antichrist and his world government will continue for 42 months (3½
years). Verse 7 discloses that the power
of the Antichrist will be worldwide:
And it was given unto him to

make war with the saints, and to
overcome them: and power was
given to him over all kindreds, and
tongues, and nations.
WORLD GOVERNMENT
FORMING NOW
The focus of world attention has
been on the Middle East throughout
2012. World events have never been
more confusing.
What is the Arab Spring? Is it the
emergence of democracy and freedom
in the Arab world? Or is it a battle
between Sunni Muslims and Shiite
Muslims? Or is it really an effort by the
Western powers to gain control over
the oil riches of the region?
Even more confusing is the
relationship of the US to al Qaeda. We
blamed al Qaeda for the 9/11 attacks
on the Trade Towers in New York. Then
we claimed the War on Terrorism was
against al Qaeda. However, when we
launched our war against Muammar
Gaddafi in Libya, we suddenly found
ourselves fighting side-by-side with
al Qaeda. Now in Syria al Qaeda has
joined forces with the rebels to topple
the government of Bashar al-Assad.
The United States is also working to
overthrow the Assad regime. So once
again the US finds itself fighting
shoulder to shoulder with the forces
of al Qaeda. It’s all very confusing.
ORDER OUT OF CHAOS?
Since its beginning one of the
guiding principles of Marxist revolution has been “order out of chaos.”
This principle simply states that if
enough chaos and confusion can be
generated it becomes easier for the
Marxist to grab power and to replace
the old order with their new world
order. Magicians are experts at focusing their audience’s attention on what
