UN adopts resolution calling for 'cooperation' on virus
France24 ^ | April 3, 2020

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."

Oh boy... we did not see that coming... they could point at China but the neutral tone of the term indicates that the UN is not interested in truth and good models of behaviors, just in authority and blaming the west or what is left of it

There are some folks around here who keep saying that the COVID-19 crisis marks the "death of globalism."

They have it completely backwards.

Oh, GHANA is in on this, Ghana rings a bell:

Rep. Ilhan Omar and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi set aside the squabble between The Squad and House leadership — to take a shot at President Trump. “They said ‘send her back’ but Speaker @SpeakerPelosi didn’t just make arrangements to send me back, she went back with me,” Omar tweeted along with a photo of herself and Pelosi smiling hand-in-hand in Ghana, referring to Trump’s controversial tweet that Omar and other progressive lawmakers of color should “go back” to their countries. “So grateful for the honor to return to Mother Africa with the @TheBlackCaucus and commemorate The Year of Return! #Doorofreturn...

“Lucifer comes to give to us the final gift of wholeness. If we accept it then he is free and we are free. This is the Luciferic initiation. It is one that many people now, and in the days ahead, will be facing, for it is an initiation in the New Age.”

~ David Spangler (1945- ) American spiritual philosopher, author, considered one of the founding figures of the modern New Age movement his book, Reflections on the Christ, p. 45

Convert the UN building into a hospital, give the “diplomats” 48 hours to vacate.

Nationalism will make a big comeback.

Sorry, but that's wishful thinking.

Trump and Netanyahu are the biggest obstacles for the Globalists and their Satanic plans. That is why both leaders have been the object of international "media" (propagandists really) assaults, fake criminal accusations, and political terrorism.

But do not be misled: Globalism will succeed.

The Bible is very clear on this point.

When will it happen? We don't know. But we can see the signs of the times, and they are all around us.

The elimination of "dirty" cash, and the creation of a global digital currency (Revelation 13)

The increased surveillance and restriction of freedoms in the wake of COVID-19 (China's massive repression of citizens is being held up as the global "model").

Coronavirus: China using app to track quarantined citizens

Calls for the UN and other global organizations to "play a greater role."

And on, and on.

The evidence is overwhelming.

See you got it wrong.

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

That is why you really should be careful how you understand scriptures.

The Book of Revelation was written and directed to an early Christian Church that came under persecution by the ancient Romans.

Nations are cooperating to defeat COVID-19, and they don’t need the UN to help them do it. But that isn’t really what the UN has in mind, is it?

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

so, you really think the second coming of Christ (the Parosia) already happened during the time of Rome?

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

And because you believe that, you can never see the truth.

Your misbelief is a characterization of the world's ignorance. 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.

It was written to a Church that was suffering from persecution from the Romans to give them spiritual strength. Telling from the historical perspective.
