UN adopts resolution calling for 'cooperation' on virus

United Nations (United States) (AFP) - The UN General Assembly on Thursday approved a resolution calling for "international cooperation" and "multilateralism" in the fight against COVID-19, in the first text to come out of the international body since the outbreak began.

The resolution, approved by consensus, also stresses "the need for full respect for human rights" and that "there is no place for any form of discrimination, racism and xenophobia in the response to the pandemic."

The UN resolution emphasises the central role of the body in the global health and economic crisis. It was submitted by Switzerland, Indonesia, Singapore, Norway, Liechtenstein and Ghana, and adopted by 188 of the 193 states that make up the body, diplomats said.

Unlike the UN Security Council, the resolutions adopted by the General Assembly are not binding but have a strong political value depending on their support.

According to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the coronavirus is "the most challenging crisis we have faced since the Second World War."

The NT Book of Revelation and how it was set up, it only applies to the period of the ancient Romans.

That of course is impossible and for many reasons...One of which is your Church still exists...Your Church will not exist after Jesus returns to Earth...Jesus will sit on a throne in Jerusalem...

Firstly, that has never occurred in the past and then secondly, what need would the World have of a pope, when God is sitting in Jerusalem???

There is tons and tons of future prophecy in the OT that hasn't taken place yet, but it will, after Jesus really does return to earth to set up his physical Jewish kingdom...

It is good to know a little bit more of the bible than you obviously do(n't) so you can't be swayed by false prophets and false christs into believing nonsense...

[The Antichrist won’t even need to kick in the door to attain power. He is going to be carried on the world’s shoulders like a conquering hero. ]

He’s going to waltz right in.

Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama showed how easily a lying often well-spoken, deceiver can capture the hearts and minds of the spiritually-blind.

At the same time, do not abuse the same Holy Bible just to prove a point. Thank-you.

No way is SkyPilot a preterist!

The person who he was replying to is though.

No. Absolutely not.

I believe that nothing in Revelation has been fulfilled as of yet, but I do wonder if we are currently at the end of Chapter 3 before the Rapture.

I am a pre-tribulation Rapture believer. I believe that the true church will raptured before a literal 7 year tribulation, which I believe will start when the Antichrist confirms the 7 year "peace" treaty with Israel. I believe in a 1,000 year reign of Christ on earth after He throws the False Prophet and the Beast into the lake of fire, and Satan is bound for 1,000 years in the abyss. I believe that Satan is released for a final time, and then completely defeated and thrown into the lake of fire, and then the New Heaven and the New Earth.

It’s going to be a surprise for a few. They’ve been told it’s all past.

I worked with several. Oh well....

At the end of the 'church' age...He will then set up his kingdom on earth where he will reign...
