What Does The Bible say about The New World Order?


All predicted in the Bible.
In the Christian and secular world
(and definitely on the internet),
there is much discussion about a
One World Order or “New World
Order.” There are no doubt
thousands of sites, sermons and
youtube videos that discuss a One
World government, New World
Order or some variation on that
theme. This blog will take a
completely Biblical look to show
what the Bible has to say on the
topic. In fact it will seek to show
that the Bible has predicted a
Coming One World Order from
almost 2,000 years ago and that
this future order will be the
second such attempt by man (and
will fail once again).
One World Government
There are many details of this
coming One World Order
throughout the Bible but the most
detailed description can be found
in the book of the Revelation
Chapter 13. Revelation, the final
book of the Bible, was written
between 65-86 A.D. and is a
description of the last years of the
Earth leading up to the Second
Coming of Jesus Christ. Revelation
13 is the primary chapter where
see a description of society under
the rule of The Beast, also known
as The Antichrist. Here we read:
Revelation 13:1 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. 2And 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. 3And I saw one of his
heads as it were wounded to
death; and his deadly wound
was healed: and all the world
wondered after the beast.
The vivid description of the
antichrist is symbolic of his power
structure. The animal parts and
horns are all indicative of the
government in which he will rule.
We can know this because we get
a description of what the vision
John the Revelator has means in
Revelation Chapter 17:
7 And the angel said unto me,
Wherefore didst thou marvel? I
will tell thee the mystery of the
woman, and of the beast that
carrieth her, which hath the
seven heads and ten horns. 8
The beast that thou sawest was,
and is not; and shall ascend out
of the bottomless pit, and go
into perdition: and they that
dwell on the earth shall wonder,
whose names were not written
in the book of life from the
foundation of the world, when
they behold the beast that was,
and is not, and yet is. 9And here
is the mind which hath wisdom.
The seven heads are seven
mountains, on which the
woman sitteth. 10 And there are
seven kings: five are fallen, and
one is, and the other is not yet
come; and when he cometh, he
must continue a short space. 11
And the beast that was, and is
not, even he is the eighth, and
is of the seven, and goeth into
perdition. 12 And the ten horns
which thou sawest are ten
kings, which have received no
kingdom as yet; but receive
power as kings one hour with
the beast. 13 These have one
mind, and shall give their power
and strength unto the beast.
For the purposes of this article we
are going to focus on verse 12.
The ten horns on the beast are
“ten kings.” This is a term for
rulers, those who are in executive
political office. This is an aspect of
Revelation that is not discussed
enough. The Bible prophesies that
in the end times, the world is
going to be ruled in ten kingdoms
or regions. They are represented
in this image as 10 horns on the
beast. In the end times, these ten
leaders are going to be the final
global rulers (in a presumably
regional government). They will
rule with the antichrist for “one
hour.” This is metaphorical
language as the “hour” could be
days, months or years. But after
this hour, the ten world rulers will
then conspire and be in
agreement to turn over all their
power to the Antichrist. We know
this is the case because in verse
13 the Bible informs us that these
ten kings have “one mind” and
that they “give” their power to the
Beast. At this point the Antichrist
has global control.
As the angel continues to interpret
the vision for John, we learn that
the power the Antichrist wields is
“given him over all kindreds, and
tongues, and nations” (emphasis
added). This is describing all the
races, languages and countries of
the entire Earth. All under the
leadership of one ruler. This is
global government.
Going back to Chapter 13 of
Revelation, we see further
confirmation of the absolute
control and dominance of the
Antichrist:
Revelation 13:4 And they
worshipped the dragon which
gave power unto the beast: and
they worshipped the beast,
saying, Who is like unto the
beast? who is able to make war
with him?
The people’s exclamations show
that the Beast is a unique figure
on the planet. No one is like him.
In addition, no one is able to fight
him in war. This is significant
because it again shows that his
military power and dominance are
unparalleled. After a time of ruling
with the final 10 leaders, the
Antichrist will have absolute rule
over all people on the planet. And
the world will be in awe of him.
One World Religion
In addition to having political and
military control of the world, the
Antichrist will also establish a
unified, global religious system. At
this point it is good to remember
that Satan is the source of the
antichrist’s power (2
Thessalonians 2:9). And Satan’s
ultimate goal is to be God. His
desire since his initial rebellion
has been to imitate and replace
The Lord our God . In the book of
Isaiah, chapter 14, the 5-point
plan of the Devil is described in
detail:
13 For thou hast said in thine
heart, I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the
stars of God: I will sit also upon
the mount of the congregation,
in the sides of the north; 14 I
will ascend above the heights of
the clouds; I will be like the
most High.
So the devil wants to literally be
on a throne exalted above all
beings and to be worshiped. Even
the location of where he wants
this worship is listed as “the sides
of the north.” This is a real
location on Earth, which the Bible
identifies. Psalm chapter 48
states: 1 Great is the LORD, and
greatly to be praised in the city
of our God, in the mountain of
his holiness. 2 Beautiful for
situation, the joy of the whole
earth, is mount Zion, on the
sides of the north, the city of
the great King.
“Mount Zion” is a biblical term for
Jerusalem, Israel. This is literally
where Satan wants to operate
from. And in his efforts to mimic
The Lord, he will empower the
Antichrist to be a false imitation
of The True Messiah, Jesus Christ
Our Lord. The antichrist will be
Satan’s way of making a false copy
of his own “son” and messiah.
Jesus came to Earth as a means to
reconcile man to God. The
antichrist will try to deceive the
world into a false religious system
centered on him and Satan. The
Antichrist’s actions once in power
make this clear. The Bible
describes his goal:
4 Who opposeth and exalteth
himself above all that is called
God, or that is worshipped; so
that he as God sitteth in the
temple of God, shewing himself
that he is God. (2 Thessalonians
Chapter 2)
Going back to Revelation 13, we
are introduced to the cohort of
the Antichrist, The False Prophet.
He is the “second beast” John sees
a vision of in this chapter. The
False prophet is responsible for
setting up the religious system of
the Antichrist. We read:
11 And I beheld another beast
coming up out of the earth; and
he had two horns like a lamb,
and he spake as a dragon. 12
And he exerciseth all the power
of the first beast before him,
and causeth the earth and them
which dwell therein to worship
the first beast, whose deadly
wound was healed. 13 And he
doeth great wonders, so that he
maketh fire come down from
heaven on the earth in the sight
of men, 14 And deceiveth them
that dwell on the earth by the
means of those miracles which
he had power to do in the sight
of the beast; saying to them
that dwell on the earth, that
they should make an image to
the beast, which had the wound
by a sword, and did live. 15 And
he had power to give life unto
the image of the beast, that the
image of the beast should both
speak, and cause that as many
as would not worship the image
of the beast should be killed.
The False Prophet (he is given this
title in Chapter 19 of Revelation) is
pictured as having “horns like a
lamb.” His appearance will be that
of a peaceful religious leader. But
his words will be directed by
Satan. He will also be able to win
the world over to his views by
miracles and wonders. This is
particularly fitting as we enter an
age when the attacks on
Christianity are at an all-time high.
The world is growing more
skeptical of the faith while finding
the lure of the occult and the New
Age very inviting. This makes
society ripe for miracles. And
when genuine supernatural acts
are being performed, millions and
millions will be clamoring for “The
One”, the false “Messiah” who can
solve all of our ills in the world.
And the False Prophet will be
directing everyone to worship the
antichrist.
The Satanic agenda behind it is
revealed when we see that the
False Prophet’s real tool is just
deception. He deceives the world,
save for those who know the Bible
truth and believe in Jesus Christ.
And again, we see that miracles
and signs are the means by which
the world will be seduced to this
satanic plan. Then the antichrist
will initiate this with a bold move
of blasphemy:
3Let no man deceive you by any
means: for that day shall not
come, except there come a
falling away first, and that man
of sin be revealed, the son of
perdition; 4Who opposeth and
exalteth himself above all that
is called God, or that is
worshipped; so that he as God
sitteth in the temple of God,
shewing himself that he is God.
— 2 Thessalonians 2
After a time of winning the people
over with his charm and wonders,
the antichrist will proclaim himself
to be God and every citizen of the
world will be required to worship
him. His true agenda will be
revealed. It is the author’s belief
that this will occur 3 ½ years into
the political career of the
antichrist. To facilitate this
worship, we read that the False
Prophet will also set up an image
of the Antichrist. Whether this is a
statue or a hologram of some
sort, it’s impossible to discern
from the text. But some image of
the antichrist will actually be given
“life.” It will be artificial
intelligence. So much so that it
will be able to speak and demand
worship. And this is where the
focus of the world’s worship will
be directed. And those who do not
comply, will be killed. This again,
is a global religious system. There
are no exceptions. The entire
world will be subject to this
religion.
One World Economy
This is perhaps one of the most-
well known aspects of Bible
Prophecy. Many people are
familiar with the Mark of The
Beast. But not as many know that
its purpose is purely economical.
Revelation 13 informs us:
16 And he causeth all, both
small and great, rich and poor,
free and bond, to receive a
mark in their right hand, or in
their foreheads: 17 And that no
man might buy or sell, save he
that had the mark, or the name
of the beast, or the number of
his name. 18 Here is wisdom.
Let him that hath understanding
count the number of the beast:
for it is the number of a man;
and his number is Six hundred
threescore and six.
A mark will be instituted for every
single person in society. The
passage is clear that everyone in
every social class will be receiving
it. And it’s for commerce. Nothing
can be bought or sold without this
mark in either one’s right hand or
forehead. The amazing thing to
consider is that this prophecy was
written almost 2,000 years ago. At
a time when almost any item one
possessed could be used to buy
something else. Barter was a very
common system and the Roman
empire had already instituted a
coin currency. Gold and silver
could also be used for purchases.
There were many ways to buy and
sell in the First century. Yet the
Apostle John wrote about a
system that all came down to a
mark that controlled all
commerce. Now this Mark would
have to clearly be sophisticated
enough to determine how much
wealth an individual had or else
there would be no way to
distinguish over whether you
could buy something expensive or
cheap. Clearly a system like this
could never be implemented until
the last 20 years with the
invention of computer technology
and specifically wireless
communications. With electronic
debit, wifi shopping and microchip
technology, today, it is very
conceivable that we can move to a
cashless society, in which all
purchases and sales could be
tracked. An IBM commercial from
several years ago illustrates the
exact point.
Where it All Started
So why is this all happening? Why
would Satan want to set up a
Global One World Order? What is
the point? We know from Isaiah
14 discussed above that Satan
ultimately wants to be God and
thus mimic The Lord in every way
possible. And there is something
in the world being unified that can
lead us down a path to follow
Satan even quicker than people do
today. The first time such a thing
was attempted was at the Tower
of Babel.
Genesis 11: 1And the whole
earth was of one language, and
of one speech. 2And it came to
pass, as they journeyed from
the east, that they found a plain
in the land of Shinar; and they
dwelt there. 3And they said one
to another, Go to, let us make
brick, and burn them
thoroughly. And they had brick
for stone, and slime had they
for morter. 4And they said, Go
to, let us build us a city and a
tower, whose top may reach
unto heaven; and let us make us
a name, lest we be scattered
abroad upon the face of the
whole earth. 5And the LORD
came down to see the city and
the tower, which the children of
men builded. 6And the LORD
said, Behold, the people is one,
and they have all one language;
and this they begin to do: and
now nothing will be restrained
from them, which they have
imagined to do. 7Go to, let us go
down, and there confound their
language, that they may not
understand one another’s
speech. 8So the LORD scattered
them abroad from thence upon
the face of all the earth: and
they left off to build the city.
9Therefore is the name of it
called Babel; because the LORD
did there confound the language
of all the earth: and from
thence did the LORD scatter
them abroad upon the face of
all the earth.
Under the leadership of the
emperor and occultist, Nimrod,
the Tower of Babel was the first
attempt at a one-world order.
Everyone spoke the same
language, lived in the same area
and were attempting to make one
society and build a tower that
could “reach unto heaven.” Now
the meaning of this phrase is
debated among Bible scholars but
there is no debate that this is
something that God was strongly
against. It was an act of rebellion
born out of pride and the desire
to “make a name” for oneself and
God thwarted this effort by
confusing the languages and
scattering the people all over the
world. Since then Satan has been
biding his time to once again
create a society where “the people
is one.” And we can see that the
world is moving right along with
his plans.
Here we have on the left, an early
painting of the Tower of Babel and
on the right, a poster for the
European Union. There can be no
mistake here. The message is that
the EU is a step towards
rebuilding the Tower of Babel. The
motto: “Many tongues, one voice”
also speaks of a globalized society.
And for good measure we can see
that the 11 stars above the EU
tower, are all turned upside down,
which is common in the occult.
For another illustration we have
the actual EU headquarters:
So even the actual building itself is
attempting to be a modern-day
Babel. And of course the European
Union is one of the major steps
towards ushering global
government. With an African
Unio n already formed, a South
American trade Union in
development
and rumblings of a North
American Union , could the ten
regional governments that
precede the final government of
the Antichrist be far away?
Conclusion
The Bible can be relied upon for
many reasons, but one of the
chief ones is its prophecy. The
prophecies surround Jesus Christ,
the Messiah, were all fulfilled in
His Birth, life, death and
resurrection. The many
prophecies concerning the nation
of Israel, its diaspora and the
eventual permanent return to
their land have also come to pass.
And these are just some of the
prophetic events covered in
Scripture. But the exciting part is
that there are certain prophecies
which have yet to be fulfilled. A
one-world society is clearly one of
them. And in this age we are living
in, the signs of that exact society
developing around us are
everywhere. So as we see a “New
World Order” approaching, what
do we do? If we are concerned,
instead of fighting it or grabbing
or planning a resistance
movement, we need to first
understand that this is spiritual.
Satan wants a One World Order
and to deceive the world into
making that happen. The
antichrist is not going to come
into power by force. He is going to
be wanted, marveled at and
beloved. This is the great
deception. And the one counter to
it is having Jesus Christ as your
Savior. Because although there
will be an Antichrist and a False
Prophet and a One World Order,
they are all defeated by Jesus
Christ. In the end everyone takes
a stand for Jesus or Satan. Do not
be deceived. Having knowledge is
not enough. Resisting is not
enough. If the time comes that a
Mark or implant of some sort is
being required under penalty of
death, just having foreknowledge
will not save you. But having Jesus
Christ as your Savior will. The
Bible is dead on with this
prediction. No other faith even
attempts such a detailed
description of a One world
political, religious and economic
system. God gave us these
prophecies to know He is real and
His word is true. But most
importantly so that we can be
forgiven for our sins through Jesus
Christ and not suffer the fate of
those who are deceived by Satan
and his false Messiah. The time for
repentance is now!!!!!
