Hi Everyone,

1 Thessalonians 5:3
When people say, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape. (RSV)



Has anyone ever noticed that the stated purpose of the United Nations is to achieve "peace and security".

Has anyone every noticed that the Charter of the United Nations says "peace and security" 32 times.

Has anyone every noticed that "peace and security" has become buzz words used in a great number of speeches made by world leaders.

Has anyone ever noticed that if you do a Google search for "peace and security" you get 1,750,00 hits.

Back in the early 1990's my interest in prophesy was very high. I heard someone on TV say "peace and security". I thought it sounded alot like the term "peace and safety" used in my bible. I prayed about it and God led me to another version of the bible that said "peace and security". Everytime I would hear this term on TV, I would get excited thinking that it meant the end was near.

In 1992 I listened to the UN Conference on Environment and Development (the "Earth Summit") held in Rio de Janeiro. Over 100 world leaders attended the conference. As the leaders gave their speeches almost everyone of them had the term "peace and security" included in their speech. I was floored. I expected sudden distruction at any moment.

My husband tempered my excitement by saying that he thought it would be when it was said that "peace and security" had been achieved. I think he is right.

Another "Earth Summitt" is scheduled for this September in South Africa. About 130 world leaders are expected to attend.

I don't know how long before they will be saying that "peace and security" has been achieved. I just think we should be aware of the significance of the term.

Thanks for listening.

Love you in the Lord

Terri

Hi terri, yes I have paid attention to that. It is good to be alert and on watch for these signs. The books of Matthew, Mark, and Luke brief us on what to expect in the last days. (around chapter 22?) Earthquakes, wars, famines and fearful things, are the "labor pains" this world must witness before Jesus Christ is returned to us (delivered).
Have you read the book of Revelation? It is quite complex, but not impossible to understand. If you enjoy prophecy, this is a fascinating vision to read and to cherish.

Terri you are absolutely right to share that with us. We are instructed to "watch & be vigilant." The beast may turn out to be the U.N. They need 10 nations, how many do they have now?
Yeah when I see destruction, I know the Lord won't some til everyone is saying"peace & safety" so destruction tells me He's not on HIs way today. Maybe after September tho. lol. Keep us informed!!! thanks, debbie

Jesus was refering to Israel when he said 'they'. Several OT prophecies talk about Israel in birth pangs to bring forth the messiah, which matches the woman in travail with child in the verse above. So it is when they say Peace and Safety (security) for Israel that we really need to be concerned. There is so much pressure on Israel and Palestine to reconcile that it is only a matter of time (despite the current hostilities) that some sort of peace must be achieved.

Thank you for sharing Terri. I think that this is very interesting information.


I am fairly new to the study of prophecy. I thought the beast would come out of The European Union. I never thought about the UN.


God Bless,
Roberta

Hi Wildfire,

Thanks for your reply Wildfire.

I'm glad to hear your keeping up with these events. If you hear anything new, please share it with me.

I love the book of Revelation--I love that I get an extra blessing just for reading it!

Love

Terri


REV 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.

Hi Debbie,

I'm not a prophesy expert, and I wasn't sure if I should have posted this message--thanks Debbie for saying you think I did the right thing by sharing it. I just didn't thing I should keep a secret of what I felt God had revealed through his Word to me.

Debbie, the United Nations website says there are 189 Member States. Like I said, I am certainly not a prophesy expert but, I remember reading somewhere that the world had already been divided into 10 "areas". I believe that the push for the trade agreements between the United States, Canada, and Mexico is to bring this "area" of the world together. I'm sure you have heard about the individual countries of Europe joining together as one big "area" (the Europeon Union"). I believe this is happening all around the world.

Debbie, I don't know if the Lord will return before, during, or after the "destruction"--but, I do think you are right that we must "watch".

Thanks for your reply Debbie, and please if you hear anything about "peace and security" let me know.

Love,

Terri

Hi Roberta,

I certainly don't know as much about prophesy as I would like. I know some people have made it the focus of their life and I appreciate their great work.

I just read stuff in the Bible and then pray and ask God to make it clear for me. I'm afraid my study is rather selfish--I get a great deal of joy anticipating the Lord's return!!

I'm not sure where the beast will come from. I have heard from the European Union also. I do believe that we need to look at all possibilities and I do believe that the United Nations is a possible candidate.

Love,

Terri

the "beast" of revelation is the government we will be required to worship.

The antichrist will be a man claiming to be Jesus Christ. His demonic "masqurading as an angel of light" miracles will have the power to decieve many.

his mark will be a sign of loyalty to the glorification and worship of man and the power of all that man can achieve when united, but it will be also be a spiritual counterfiet to the seal of God which the Holy Spirit already seals on believers and calls them his "elect."

The numbers 666 represent man making himself out to be god. They are also representative of Rome and the rule of a certain emporer. The antichrist will come and rule in the spirit and power of that emporer. It will be the same spirit that caused Nimrod (Sargon), aka Orion, to be the first emporer of the world and built the Tower of Babel in rebellion to God and for the glorification of man. It will be the same spirit that Nero had when he ruled Rome, and it will be the spirit manifested again in a man destined to be the next world ruler.

totally awesome and cool times are ahead for the believer who knows where his truth stands. The enemy will not come to lie, but to decieve; and to decieve many. Watch for it when people start looking for Jesus to return. Watch for it when the Jews expect their Messiah. and watch the whole world turn upside down when Christianity finally becomes the catalyst for the amazingly deceptive, one world religion; and humanism the platform for a one world government.

Hi Josephus,

Thanks for all the information!

I agree with you--there is a lot of deception out there. One must be very alert these days.

These really are exciting times for the true believer!

I believe the most deceived right now are the Christians that believe they will take over the world and bring in God's kingdom without the physical return of the Lord Jesus. I believe this to be the spirit of anti-Christ. This Christians will bring in the one world government that the anti-christ will rule.

2JN 1:7 Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh , have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8 Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. 9 Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him. 11 Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work.

REV 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.
