215-page  book by Jeff Kinley

Jeff Kinley wrote this innovative guide to the book of Revelation for the same reason the apostle John wrote the original-to arouse a sleeping church to prepare for Christ's return. Many people are unaware of the signs of the times. The church is silent about these signs. The book offers an enlightening read about Jesus and His coming again. It is an easy-to-understand review of the last book of the Bible and other last days' information. We highly recommend this book.

Find it here for $15 + $5 S/H. or call us M - F CST at 763-559-4444.

Obama: King of the World?

Barack Obama doesn't just want to fundamentally transform America. His sights are on the world. Many stories are breaking that he aspires to become the General-Secretary of the United Nations. Such talk is no longer Internet rumor.



We hear a lot about global government today, and we do not know if this will be represented by the United Nations. Since we are late in the eschatological game, we probably don't have time for another body to rise up and control this world government.

Those who defend the notion of a world government claim that it would be a benign federation of nations structurally similar to our federal government. It is touted as the solution to all of society's ills. We can wipe away war, poverty, and all injustice. There would absolutely be no want. They suggest this would perpetuate global peace and prosperity. The truth is, it would be an Orwellian nightmare.

The Beast

In Revelation 13, John sees the "beast," also called the Antichrist, rising out of the sea having seven heads and ten horns. This corresponds with Daniel 7. Some kind of world system will be inaugurated by the beast. Many theologians conclude that this will be a one-world government.

It is hard to imagine how such a diverse system of government would willingly subjugate themselves to a single ruler. How would Communism, capitalism, democracy, and Islam all get along? The Antichrist would have the power to make this happen or dissolve all of these systems and blend them into one.  He will have Satanic power to do this.  

When does this world ruler ascend to his throne? Many conclude it will be when the disasters and plagues described in mid-Revelation are playing out in a devastating way. Others feel it makes more sense that he will seize control right after the chaos of the Rapture. 

The current U.N. Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon's term is set to end on December 31, 2016. Barack Obama is available on January 21, 2017.

Enter Bibi Netanyahu

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, working with moderate Arab nations, is on record as saying, "Isn't eight years of having Obama in office enough? Eight years in which he ignored Israel. And now he wants to be in a position that is liable to cause us hardship in the international arena."

Will He Be "King of the World"?

Some are suggesting that if Obama pursues this agenda and gets it he will consider himself "king of the world".  Investors Business Daily warned over a year and a  half ago that President Obama wasn't about to spend his post-presidency time building houses like Jimmy Carter. There were signs that he would seek to become head of the U.N. 

An Israeli newspaper recently ran a cartoon with this "king of the world" theme.



A covenant will be made with Israel (Daniel 9) and a world body during the Tribulation. The Antichrist will make a covenant, then break that covenant, with Israel, during the Tribulation. 

The U.S. Under U.N. Authority?

Would Obama place the U.S. under U.N. authority? As a presidential candidate in 2007 he wrote, "The security and well being of every American depends on the security and well being of those who live beyond our borders. The mission of the United States is to provide global leadership grounded in the understanding that the world shares a common security and a common humanity."
 
For the mostly undemocratic powers represented in the U.N., having a former U.S. President who serves their interests, for all intents and purposes "King of the World," would be a dream come true.  Never has the head of a major world power served in this role. Rules and traditions would likely have to be broken.
 
Addicted to the Roar

Canada's National Post asks, "What post-presidency career would Obama consider worthy of his future attention and efforts? Few jobs of Olympian prestige are available, and his self-admittedly vast self-esteem might diminish the list still further. We agree with a number of other observers that Obama has his sights set on the office of United Nations Secretary-General."
 
Barack Obama will wave a reluctant good-bye. He is addicted to the roar. He will never forsake the spotlight he loves so much.
 
Pinning the Tail on the Antichrist

We are not privileged to know if any U.N. role will be played out by the Antichrist. Those who continually play the "pin the tail on the Antichrist" game are only guessing. 

Only God knows who these end-time king-pins will be. His partner is called the False Prophet. Are they alive and well? Likely so.

We don't know if this transition at the U.N. will happen in 2017. If it does, Barack Obama will become the most dangerous man in the world.  And possibly, the most powerful. 

The timing of this is diabolical as the world awaits a savior to solve its many problems.
