November 5, 2018 (American Thinker) – In the 1960s, an informed but naïve undergraduate, I was walking across the campus of the University of Pennsylvania with the Chairman of the Chemistry Department, Prof. Charles C. Price. He told me that he was president of the United World Federalists, and asked if I knew what that organization was. When I said that I did not, he replied that they believed in a one-world government that would grow out of the United Nations. I was nonplussed as I had never heard anyone suggest that idea before. To me, the United Nations was a benevolent organization dedicated to pressuring the world community in the direction of peace, and to operating charitable programs to help the struggling, impoverished peoples of the world. I imagined the UN as a kind of United Way on a worldwide scale.
How would Prof. Price's vision of a new world government emerge? Although there was a socialistic thread in its founding document, the United Nations was formed based on a vision of human rights presented in the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" (UDHR) which placed the concept of rights at the forefront for the progress of the world body. And rights are the mainstay for uplifting human freedom and the dignity of the individual. The UDHR document followed many amazing documents that presented rights as the central concept of the post-feudal world: the English Declaration (or Bill) of Rights of 1689, the U.S. Declaration of Independence with its important and forceful assertion of inalienable natural rights, the powerful U.S. Bill of Rights enacted in 1791, and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen (1789).
The word "rights" appears in almost every sentence of the 1869-word UN document. The document is literally obsessed with rights, and one must assume they are likewise obsessed with the rights successes as manifested in the United Kingdom, the U.S., and France. However, there are some deviations from the rights usage we are all familiar with. In Article 3, Instead of the inalienable rights of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" found in our Declaration of Independence, the UN declares everyone's right to "life, liberty and security of person." Are they implying that security will bring happiness? Or are they implying that happiness is too ephemeral a value, and too Western? Perhaps more mundane survival goals are needed by most of the world.
Well, I hope you are WAY WAY right. Amir Tsarfati of beholdisrael.org has some interesting ideas on that. I saw him preach at SM Lanang, Davao City, earlier this year. VERY interesting. 👍
Yeah, I bet they do. Tell you what, let the UN $hizen in one hand and wish in the other. Get back to me on which hand fills up first.
The UN did not exist then.
There was a speech by GHW Bush in 1992 where he explicitly states that from now on the American people would pledge allegiance to the UN.
Your ego doesn’t need to be as big as Rhode Island even if you do happen to have been elect by the King. Do you have a bible? It also says that love is not puffed up. Every time you think you catch someone in a mistake, you puff up at them like some horrid adder.
“...that America immediately pre-rapture turns out to have a faith revolution like has never been seen.”
It’s either that or America’s destruction.
That would certainly do.
It would certainly be a very convenient way to clean the slate of America. It was written on for several hundred years, and then gets erased.
My buddy Ronnie and I have been seeing furious enemy attack since we recorded the following song

This urges a faith revolution in America followed by a world faith revolution. Is the vision behind it overly optimistic? I don’t know, but all Christians should DESIRE the salvation of the world. Who wants God to have more enemies? Nobody with a heart.

They called it the “League of Nations back then, but it is the same thing.
Truman is the jerk that signed the UN treaty, but it is no different than Wilson’s garbage.

Gee you stink up the room!

You bring up an excellent point. My wife and I have been discussing this ourselves, and she believes that we in the US are Babylon. It says in the Bible that all the World trades with Babylon, and in Revelation, the world is shocked and dismayed that Babylon Has fallen.
Now imagine this... Things are going along just as they always have then suddenly POOF! The Rapture happens and a whole mess of people in America and all over the world suddenly disappear. This includes many members of the administration, possibly including the President and Vice President. Without people in power, and a whole bunch of other people suddenly missing, chaos erupts. The economy implodes. Wall Street implodes. Babylon Has Fallen, and the world’s going to step back and go “whoa”.
They’re going to be freaking out, looking Every Witch Way to try and find something or someone to step in and make things right again. Lo and behold, in steps a person who says “I can fix this if you’ll let me just take over”, and there you have your One World Government, led by the Antichrist himself.
Well maybe I’m not the only one with a kooky optimistic idea.
But as far as God seeding America — it’s not unprecedented. John Knox era Scotland saw something like this. Those stern old Calvinists believed that God was so sovereign He could populate a whole country with Christians. And it came pretty near.
Kick their arrogant arses out of the USA NOW!
What the heck are you two talking about? For months we were told here to vote straight republican ticket, now you are bashing us for it.
This was true of Woodrow Wilson's League of Nations too.
Mystery Babylon in Revelation is a city.
So, you are saying something happened 70 years before this date? Trying to understand, not criticize.
A few things wrong with that theory. When Jesus comes,every eye will behold Him. there is nothing to suggest secretiveness about the Rapture. Those not raptured are instantly killed by the brightness of His coming.
Although ES and I disagree (friendly that is) on the timing of all the events (except for the Second Coming at the end of the 70th week) he is speaking about the 70th week from Daniel the prophet.
God gave a 70 “week” judgement on Israel. 69 of those “weeks” (periods of 7 years) have already passed.
There is one 7-year period left remaining, to run its course.
