Let’s be clear about one thing we are not talking about terrorists. We are not talking about an alien invasion. We are not talking about organized crime, but we are talking about people who gave us no warning that they would explode causing unbelievable carnage and untold suffering to their fellow citizens. From the best I can tell most of these people looked rather normal to their peers, family members and friends. Although one similar trait among them was that they appeared aloof, distant or a loner. What was going on to cause these people to explode? What kind of pressure were they under?

We all know that a boiler that has too much pressure will eventually explode. Let me suggest that this country has lost its way and are churning out citizens who expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter with little or no work. They expect to be treated with honor and respect when they have never been taught how to give it. They look at all that the world has to offer and if they don’t get it then the pressure begins to build. Or if someone attempts to take away what they do have then the pressure continues to build to unsafe limits. Unfortunately most people in this country would be horrified to lose all of their material possessions, because they cannot separate their life from them.

Add to this the moral decline and the total disregard for the law and you have a recipe for disaster. As our leaders in high places are caught in every manner of sin and the talking heads continue to fan the flames of discontent, then many question their moral authority to pass laws or even their right to enforce them. Then if that were not enough the philosophy of tolerance has led many to reject the truth peddled by the establishment for their own set of values which in many cases are no values at all, but rank lawlessness.  Regrettably with this country’s drift away from Christianity and absolute truth, she has lost her moral anchor.  Set adrift in the sea of immorality she will continue her decline into lawlessness. So where will this all lead? Anarchy!

As the world comes crashing in from all around you it is time for every true Christian to take a deep look within and make sure you have not been captivated by the world of materialism. Can you give up everything for the cause of Christ knowing that He will not allow you to be tested beyond what you can handle?  Are you unsettled when you do not receive the honor and respect that you have become accustomed to or are you following the example of Christ who humbled himself to death even death on a Cross? Do you follow the world in their godless counseling and drugs to ease the pain or do you run to Christ who promises to be with us in the midst of our greatest suffering? Friends, it’s only going to get worse as we fast approach His Second Coming so please do not follow the world in these godless acts, but remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ to love one another so that the world will know that we are His disciples.

Built on the same foundation as Ancient Rome

To fully understand what the last kingdom [or the coming of the New World Order] looks like … it will be necessary to take a closer look at Ancient Rome. Rome was a city that was quite full of itself. “All roads lead to Rome” was a favorite saying back then indicating its economic dependence on the other nations in the known world to produce its luxuries, its goods, and a labor force unlike the world had ever known. And what it could not buy it would conquer and acquire for the good of Rome. Along with these goods and people that came from every nation was every religion and philosophy known to man. They came in like a flood.

Truly Ancient Rome had become the first melting pot of different people, religions, and beliefs, to one day be followed by the new Global City [or the New World Order]. But to have so many different gods, religions, and beliefs, there needed to be a different kind of tolerance, a tolerance that would accept everyone’s belief on an equal footing. [In the coming New World Order the population will be forced to deny absolute truth and the exclusiveness of Christianity, much in the same way as Ancient Rome.] In Rome it did not matter how many gods you had in your house. One god was just as good as another as long as you did not claim one to be more superior than the rest. To do so would be outright treason and a crime against the state. Even the emperor who one day would claim his own divinity did not claim to be above the rest, but did claim his right to tolerance that all would equally accept his belief just as valid as they would accept others.

This became a huge problem for Christianity, which claimed only one true God who indeed is above all other gods. This same problem will arise in the last days during the Great Tribulation. We have already seen the seeds of the rebellion. Christian writers have already written about the new tolerance that has taken the United States by storm, claiming that every person’s belief and opinion is just as valid as the next. This has opened Pandora’s Box allowing every imaginable evil to co-exist as valid expressions of one’s own belief and practice. Christians are already being assaulted and denied access because of their faith in the one and only true God. But as we shall see this is only the beginning; the worse is yet to come.

Rome guarded and flaunted its glory to the world at large and challenged anyone who would question it. Everything was done for the glory of Rome. To speak against Rome was treason. It lifted itself up to the heavens to be adored by all sensible men. She claimed that everything good, decent, and honorable was within her gates. She claimed for herself the highest honor, a majestic city sitting on seven hills as a glorious queen sits on her throne. Rome had its pageants, its theaters, its games, its banquets and it was the envy of the known world. Rome was wealthy and many lived a life of extravagance. As wealth and prosperity flowed throughout the provinces of Rome and into her inner streets, she became obsessed with wealth, which opened up the experimentation of every kind of evil to satisfy her hunger.

The rich and the famous created a new form of entertainment the world had not really known—to take public pleasure in the destruction of human life. It was not long before they realized that this was just what the people needed to keep them entertained and under total control. Only one thing was needed to complete Rome’s grip on the masses—to keep everyone under her control and submissive to her rulers. They needed bread. Supply the people with entertainment and food and you have them right where you want them—under your control. Think about the massive entertainment industry in the present world, [the push for a government run health care program] and the elaborate food programs run by the global community and we are not far removed from ancient Rome who had the ability to control and lead her people to worship Caesar as Lord.

Man’s attempt to build the city of man will fail. It has throughout the long history of mankind and it will culminate in the destruction of the last city to be built by self-righteous man. We can point to all of the great cities in our world today and we see essentially the same thing. Mankind is attempting to build his city without God and for those countries that started with God He is now being evicted, thrown out, censored, and His existence denied. When good is uprooted by evil and God is denied by the city of man it will come to nothing, it will be ultimately destroyed.

• The Great City Becomes Global •

In these last days it is clear that one nation will arise above the rest in power, wealth, and influence to unite the world into a new Global City [or a New World Order]. We will examine each of its characteristics and specifically how its new state religion will threaten biblical Christianity. Then we will follow how the new Global City will teach the other nations to “drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.” We will also show from the prophecy in Revelation how this new Global City, much like ancient Rome, will have a similar fate to the world’s shock and amazement.

The new Global City is the great design of the 21^st Century. Fallen humanity believes it has finally reached its golden age, where it can solve all the problems facing humanity, such as feeding the poor, healing the sick, crushing the terrorists, predicting the storms or foolishly trying to control them, counseling the depressed, and bringing the world together in a spirit of partnership, mutual respect, and tolerance for everyone’s beliefs. Let’s examine each of its characteristics keeping in mind while this new kingdom may appear to be as strong as iron it is at the same time as weak and as brittle as clay.

• A New World Economy •

The first characteristic of the new Global City boasts of a new world economy based on capitalism [a progressive capitalism with a mixture of Socialism and Marxism] that leads man to worship the works of his own hands through materialistic gain, avarice, and greed. This new world economy is built on the same crumbling foundation as that of Ancient Rome. It uses the natural resources of the weaker and poorer countries to supply the needs of the rich. It uses the manual labor of those same countries to provide manufactured goods cheaply to be resold for a higher profit to the wealthy. Have we ever wondered why so many products are made in China and shipped to this country? The Bible says, “The kings of the earth committed adultery with her (the new Global City), and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries” (Rev. 18:3b).

And if a nation is unwilling to participate in the new world economy of the Global City it is no longer forcefully taken over as was the case in previous generations of imperialism. Rather the new Global City has a new tactic to inject its greedy capitalism into the government and social fabric of the nation being taken over. This tactic consists of giving the veiled appearance of coming to their rescue as the deliverer, because of some natural disaster or ferociousness of an evil dictator. In either case, the beleaguered country is in need of reconstruction by the Global City. And as big business steps up to the plate to do the reconstruction it has almost no legal and governmental restraints. Big business is given huge tax incentives, and with its push to privatize everything it’s now free to buy and control much of the host countries infrastructure, such as telephone, gas and electric, and the water works just to name a few.

This of course is just the tip of the iceberg, because once the country is stabilized, it’s time to bring in the rest of big business. They have the locals (who are paid far less) to work in their factories, to produce the world’s goods to the highest bidder, or to build fancy resorts on their pristine beaches to be visited by the rich and famous. Now a most interesting thing occurs which fulfills the mission of these greedy capitalists: the locals now desire to participate in the collection of material wealth to their own demise. And of course the new Global City is more than willing to oblige by marketing the world’s goods to the locals which will keep them working, consuming, and in debt. And in the end they will be loving and serving money to the exclusion of traditional family values. Remember it was Christ who said, “No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money” (Mt. 6:24).

To drive this economy and lead the nations to worship materialistic gain and to develop the spirit of greed and avarice is the modern innovation of sales and marketing. With the use of television beaming its signal around the world along with print media, fallen humanity is being convinced that they need the world’s goods and services. Psychological profiling and innovative marketing techniques have become so good that they know what it takes to convince you to buy their product. For example, buying that new clothes outfit, having your hair done or your nails polished is said to make you attractive, popular, and in the end will feed your vanity. To buy a new car will meet your needs for thrill, excitement, and that magic romance. And prescription drug companies have also picked up on the same marketing techniques by promising no more pain, new found friends, incredible joy and absolute freedom for just popping their pill.

With the onslaught of advertising campaigns, fallen humanity is no longer satisfied with just the basic needs of food, water, clothing, and shelter. There is so much more to be had, which promises to fill your every desire, and the world is even allowing you to put it on credit. “Buy now and pay later.” Yet we are not told that indebtedness is the modern equivalent to slavery. Man has become enslaved to his possessions and the desire to continually replace or upgrade them. This is realized in the shopping frenzy during the holidays and the daily shopping for goods and services that has become an obsession for most of fallen humanity.

In the city of man, fallen humanity is devoted to money and what it can buy. The value of money is in its purchasing power, and if money loses its value then the power of purchasing is diminished. Therefore, the city of man anxiously keeps the economy on an upward trend increasing the value of money and its purchasing power. And he accomplishes this in a number of ways, but primarily by producing more for less, thus raping the world of its natural resources and keeping the largest part of the world in poverty. By producing more products to fill the needs of an ever-increasing number of consumers, the world’s natural resources are being consumed at an alarming rate. At one time it was only the countries in the West that consumed the most, but with the spread of the new Global City everyone is becoming a consumer and a slave to money. But that’s not the whole story because goods are made cheaper and cheaper so that they need to always be replaced by a consumer driven society, which also depletes the world of its natural resources, polluting the air we breathe, the water we drink, and crowding our landfills.

Not only is fallen humanity raping the world of its natural resources but it is purposely keeping large portions of the world in poverty to be the productive drones for the rest of humanity. Common sense dictates that workers in poor countries need fewer wages to produce thus turning a larger profit for the greedy capitalist of the new Global City. Big business has recently pushed free trade, outsourcing, and reconstruction to fill the coffers of the rich on the backs of the poor. It’s really a double-edged sword that’s robbing the poor, leading them to a life of servitude, and teaching them how to rob others in the name of progressive capitalism, which fulfills the prophecy of the new Global City of man. Within this new Global City are its own seeds of destruction.

• A New Philosophy of Tolerance •

A second characteristic of this new Global City is tolerance, a tolerance that embraces every man’s religion or non-religion, and every man’s belief just as valid as the next. Perhaps it all began under the guise of religious tolerance, but has now developed into a major world philosophy. This new philosophy of tolerance reduces all the world religions and other world philosophies to mere personal preferences that must not have any real voice or value in the new Global City of man. It’s their answer in throwing off the “so-called” restraints of religion, thus having the freedom to evolve into a perfect society. Yet to evict God from any society will lead it back into the dark ages where mankind will grope around in darkness trying to find his way. And, as we shall see in this little book, to evict God from the city of man will invite destruction of a biblical proportion.

A mandated philosophy of tolerance encourages everyone to develop his own belief system by acquiring principles from each of the world religions, philosophies, psychologies, mythology, Satanism, and a mixed bag of new age thinking. It’s no longer politically correct to challenge a man about his belief system as long as he does not force his beliefs on others or the state. Man is no longer held accountable for his beliefs as long as he contributes to society and willing to undergo behavior modification if deemed necessary by those in power. We can only imagine where all this foolishness will lead the new Global City.

How important is belief? Is it possible to believe anything we want and allow it not to direct our actions? For example, if two men believe it’s okay to burn for each other then that kind of thinking could cast them into a bed of sexual immorality, making it possible to contract the AIDS virus, or even experience the agonizing pain of an early death. Another example, if a man believes there is no absolute truth then his freedom to dabble in all the world religions and systems of thought will only lead him down a dark alley of confusion and moral degeneration. I am afraid when we lose our moral anchor by believing whatever seems right in our own eyes and allowing others to do the same, then lawlessness will prevail and the foundations of the city will crumble. This new philosophy of tolerance and the Global City’s aggressiveness to assimilate other cultures and belief systems has become the Trojan Horse of the 21st Century allowing every evil and foul spirit to enter the gates of the Global City to its own demise.

• A New Secular Worldview •

Another characteristic of this new Global City is its secular worldview of Mother Nature that usurps the sovereignty of God over His creation and ascribes everything to a non-entity. This has become necessary in a tolerant society that has accepted all gods and secular philosophies as equal. To attribute anything to one God or deity would offend the non-religious. Therefore, God is dethroned in the new Global City and substituted with the new goddess of nature.

When storms arise, tornadoes strike, earthquakes shake, and any other natural event occurs it is now glibly attributed to the workings of Mother Nature. To reject God as the Creator and the One over His creation engenders a fatalistic attitude that whatever happens will happen and is completely out of anyone’s control. This kind of thinking has many scurrying off to the scientist to get logical explanations on what is causing all the natural upheavals and cataclysmic events. Even with a scientific explanation on what may cause an event, it still leaves everything to chance, which strikes fear into the hearts of men.

The horrific outcome of such thinking will drive many to experiment in magic, charms, amulets, and spells in seeking to control events or forces of nature. With the assimilation of all the world cultures, it has given the new Global City much to choose from in its quest to control one’s own destiny in its relationship to the natural environment. I have seen this even among so-called believing Christians who have purchased things from the global market to help protect themselves, their home, and their personal belongings from both seen and unseen natural events. God is no longer seen as the Controller of His creation that sends the storms, withholds the rains, or brings down cities with massive earthquakes, all of which will keep fallen humanity from repenting of their evil ways. Everything that happens in the world is under God’s direct control. Nothing happens by accident.

• A New Religion in Disguise •

Another characteristic of this new Global City is its art of psychological counseling for the masses, a world religion in disguise that attempts to modify man’s behavior and the ailments of his heart through its therapeutic counseling and administering of prescription drugs. It’s all quite logical: if you remove God, who is the only One that can change man’s behavior and heal the ailments of his heart, then something must take His place and that’s where psychology exerts its authority over the masses.

Man since the beginning of time has always needed someone to turn to when things went wrong with his heart and his life. He would either turn to the witch doctor, a guru, or a priest. He always needed something higher than himself to help him to be all that he envisioned himself to be. He needed someone to make intercession to the gods. In time there was a level of trust developed between the religious professional and his adherents. In many of the world religions they would use drugs to obtain a mystical experience or a higher level of consciousness. Most of these world religions exerted authority over their people while promising to help them with physical ailments, mental anguish, and emotional trauma.

With the discovery of psychology, its therapeutic techniques, and new mind-altering drugs, a new “religious” professional has arrived on the scene claiming to be nonreligious and available to every nation, tribe, people, and tongue. Instead of interceding with the gods, this new professional of psychology becomes the ultimate authority. He promises to help his counselees with their mental anguish, emotional trauma, and even some of their consequential physical ailments. In time a level of trust is developed between the counselee and the new “religious” professional. Although many of their patients are never cured, their behavior never changed, they have become addicted to the new mind-altering drugs, and have gotten worse because of it. Yet they grow ever more dependent on the professional psychologist and all the drugs he has to offer.

It is sad to say that many who claim to know God no longer trust Him to change their behavior or heal their heart and so they turn to the new “religious” professional, who has usurped the authority of God and His spiritual counsel. The Bible says that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is our Wonderful Counselor (See Is. 9:6). He has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the written Word and the indwelling Spirit. To change counselors, to transfer our trust to another, to take mind-altering drugs is paramount in not remaining faithful to Jesus.

• A New World Democracy •

Another characteristic of this new Global City is the establishment of a new world democracy, which allows the majority to make ethical and moral decisions for the rest of us even if it’s wrong in the eyes of the few. When the majority makes good moral and ethical choices for all concerned then democracy is a good thing, but when the moral and ethical minority looses its voice and its ability to bring about change, then it can be devastating. With the increase of evil and godlessness in the last days this new world democracy will continue to usurp the authority of

God, promote all of its godless programs as previously discussed, and require that the masses adhere to them.

This is another Trojan Horse that is bursting through the gates of every nation with its promise of religious tolerance, individual rights, and membership in the world community. Why is world democracy so important in the establishment of the new Global City? There are a number of reasons, but perhaps the major reason is that it’s easier to influence, manipulate, and control the masses of countries that participate in the new world democracy than closed countries that continue in their dictatorial rule. We live in a new age where it is no longer necessary to forcefully take over a country once it becomes a part of the new world democracy. Once individual freedoms are put into place, such as religious tolerance, the art of psychology, and partnership in the world economy, then the people in each respective country are only one step from having their hearts and minds influenced, manipulated, and eventually controlled.

And of course the question arises, how is this accomplished? Part of the question is already answered in the establishment of religious tolerance, which gives them the freedom to believe whatever they want even if it’s immoral and does not align with their old traditional and religious beliefs. Secondly, with the establishment of the art of psychology it leads the people to transfer their trust from God (or tribal deity) to a state-run agency and its array of mind-altering drugs. And finally, with the establishment of some form of capitalism [progressive in nature with a mixture of Socialism and Marxism] and their participation into the new world economy it leads the people to individually compete for the world’s goods and wealth even if it separates them from their traditional family values.

Once the people are separated from their old traditions, religious beliefs, their trust in God, and their traditional family values, then they are ready to be assimilated into the new Global City. The second part of the question on how to influence the masses and continue the assimilation process can be answered by demonstrating the power and influence of the mass media through the mediums of television, radio, print media, and the Internet, which will be covered in greater detail under the section “Influence of the Global City.” At this point let it be said that once a country opens its doors to the Trojan Horse of a new world democracy it will receive a lot more than what it bargained for, because it will be filled with corruption, greed, sexual immorality, and excessive criminal activity.

• A New World Order •

The final characteristic of this new Global City is the establishment of a new world order, which is man’s attempt to establish a new collective consciousness and unity of thought and action. In the Global City’s aggressiveness to assimilate all cultures through the philosophy of tolerance, a new world democracy, and the art of psychology (the new world religion in disguise) it is now in the final stage and seeks to establish the new collective consciousness and unity of thought and action. Resistance appears to be futile.

It’s the Global City’s agenda to keep the masses quiet in their own homes watching TV, or on the Internet, purchasing their goods and services, taking their drugs, paying their taxes, visiting their psychologist, elevating self, and participating in the new tolerance. All of which brings them to the altar of the beast and acceptance into the new world order. Have we become living drones, who are mesmerized, materialistic, greedy, over medicated, passive, psychoanalyzed, proud and gullible? All that’s left . . . is worship of the beast [or Anti-Christ]!

The new world order in its attempt to establish this new collective consciousness will influence everyone to log on to their personal computer (PC): to control their finances, manage their health care, touch base with their psychologist, meet their new mate, purchase their goods and services and enter the chat room to establish new cyber relationships. Many are now logging on daily to participate in a new virtual game that competes with others in an attempt to acquire wealth, prosperity, and personal prestige. This game has already attracted thousands, perhaps millions of people around the world into a new global community of willing participants that consumes most of their time, energy, and resources. Unfortunately, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Where this will all lead is not yet fully known, yet with fallen humanity already being tied to their computers one can only imagine the extent of integration between humanity, cyber space, and the new collective consciousness. Resistance is not futile! We can and must resist the new world order and its plans to produce a new collective consciousness!

In the next chapter, in my book Final Warning, we will continue with our discussion about the destruction of the Global City. What lies ahead may shock you!
