One World Government? – New World Order?
The Books of Daniel and the Revelation are about the history of the Imperial powers that have ruled the nations. These prophecies have nearly run their course and we now live at the time of the last of them, i.e. the ten nations, which are represented by toes in Dan 2 and horns in Dan 7 and Rev 12,13, &17. You may have been taught that these ten nations are in our immediate future. However there are no gaps in the metal man of Dan 2, these ten nations have been around since Rome fell in 476 A.D. There have been wars, they have merged. they have had revolts, from time to time there have been slightly more or less then ten, but when the dust settles there they are, TEN.
The only empire in the prophecies that is still future is the one represent by the rock not cut with hands Dan 2. Nearly everyone thinks this is the Millennial reign of Messiah. There is no future human government like the New World Order or One World Government. No matter how much men may try, it is just not there. In fact the book of Daniel expressly says that it cannot happen. When speaking of the toes it says;
As you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage, but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay. Dan. 2:43.
Which pretty much sums up European history. They have mixed, but no matter how hard they try they have not been able to hold together. Not since the tower of Babel have men been able to hold themselves together. [Gen 11] Charlemagne, Charles V, Louis XIV, Napoleon, and finally Hitler have all failed at this monumental task. The only way to accomplished this task, is to concede it to the One with a Rod of Iron. [Rev. 19:15] So we must wait till Shiloh come.
The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Gen. 49:10
All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD;
and all the families of the nations shall worship before him.
For dominion belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations.
Yea, to him shall all the proud of the earth bow down;
before him shall bow all who go down to the dust,
and he who cannot keep himself alive.
Posterity shall serve him;
men shall tell of the Lord to the coming generation,
and proclaim his deliverance to a people yet unborn,
that he has wrought it. Psa. 22:27 -31
This site is a hoax. Consistently the proofs and writings are presented strongly shut as if there is no (zero) room for discussion. It reminds me of debate classes where no matter what is presented, you must come across as though it is concluded and that you are absolutely right…emphatically! You must applaud yourself regularly as having “arrived”! A place where most notable scholars would not so boldly claim…especially when dealing with prophecy!
I will provide you with one example related to this piece of work: Although Nimrod’s government was able to thrive for a time (meaning that it was together) it was unable to hold together. So which is it? Was it unable to hold together? Yes. Was it together for a time? Yes.
Does this make sense to you?
Why are people worried about a one world government that is suppose to rule this world when scripture states (Matt. 6:19) “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20″But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal;… what does it matter what goes on with earth. The Bible says, “Set your mind on things above, not on the things that are on earth” (Col 3:2). So should we worry about a government that is supposedly to come? Things of the earth will fall away fact people and things die everyday. So, broughtclose to answer your question yes things will hold together but then decay in this case you can have your cake and eat it too. I am not a prophecy scholar nor a bible one for that matter but I do realize that scripture is teaching us what it will be within the kingdom. The spiritual kingdom.

This blog presents the Historical Protestant Position on prophecy a.k.a. Historicist. We do not pretend to be open to other views. As they all have preconceived notions that are illogical. We explain this in our post on Hermeneutics.http://openingtheseals.wordpress.com/hermeneutics/
In our Bibliography, http://openingtheseals.wordpress.com/38-2/
there is a wonderful set of books by a Seventh Day Adventist, who explains what everyone in church history taught about prophecy. Even though it has some SDA nonsense it is never-the-less an excellent resource, FROOM, LEROY EDWIN. – The Prophetic Faith of our Father.)
If you wish to present your view on prophecy we suggest that you do what we do, and write your own blog, wordpress has plenty of space.
Just for argument sake, how would you interpret Dan 2:43?
Laurel
Laurel, I stand behind my post. This is a hoax site. We should always be looking for wise counsel. I don’t look for argument, but rather discussion. Your posts emmanate arrogance….including your recent statements…but your proof doesn’t ever support an arrogant position. What is the problem? Is it youth, naïveté or something else?In any case you may consider your approach to the study of scripture and the act of teaching…which is what we are about….right?
Of course there is space elsewhere to post…where is the root of that statement? Childishness!
Debbie, consider Mark 13 when you form your general opinion.

I know Laurel personally she is not nieve nor is she arrogant due to youth. I can assure you that she is not young although you put on an episode of Dr. Who she will get giddy like a school girl. You sir are mistaking arrogance with pure knowledge, this site is not a hoax site. I do not understand how you can mistake facts of history with being nieve. You cannot make up history it has already happened therefore it cannot be made up. Let me ask you sir why have you not given proof of Dan 2:43? Is it because you do not understand it? or is it because you are to busy trying to find flaws in others, rather than looking into your own flaws and not wanting to see the truth or actually learn things for yourself. You are correct in that we should teach and study but teaching is not spoon feeding knowledge. That is where the study part comes in. So if you do not believe Laurel look it up for yourself it is history afterall it shouldnt be hard to find.
I would like to point out that I don’t do this alone. There are two others who write and help write these posts.
Laurel
Jennifer, I would have taken your defense of Laurel into consideration…until I read your additional remarks. Of course you would see this site, her remarks, visiting writers remarks, etc. as wonderful. You also need rebuke.
As far as Daniel 2:23….very well could be the Sunni/Shia arrangement. But then again, you will probably not agree…actually you cannot agree since you dispel the occurrence of Parallel prophecy.
I will no longer look at this site again so do not post a question of me in anticipation of an answer. Thank you!

Laurel and anyone else still following this discussion, what I see in this approach to BIble prophecy, and in this post, is the hope that comes from knowing that this new order will not succeed – that the Lord will not permit it. The iron and clay will never stay mixed together. This is encouraging – there is so much fear of this out there and we shouldn’t give in to it.
