Tell that to Communist China.

The point is not to confuse earthly powers with the over all authority of Christ. Is Christ King over all? Yes. However, do evil coalitions form in the earthly realm? Yes.

Would you be willing to wager your immortal soul that there never will be a global government???

If not... don't treat the notion too lightly.

What would define a world government? 1. A world currency? 2. A world court? 3. A world army? 4. A world religion {global ethic}?

All of the above?

where do those 7 nations come from?
hmmmmmm
some of you say that the world will be 10 nations. yea, right.

Revelation 17 explains everything.

****7And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.****



We are currently witnessing the formation of the ten kingdoms.

The seven mountains....some bible scholars believe that each mountain represented a "world leader" like Caesar, Nero, Alexander etc. the one that is yet to come could possibly be the antichrist.

The waters represent the multiple of people...which the whore sitteth on. Is there not a false church that has finagled it's way into each and every country on this planet?

I could speculate my own prayerful opinion about who or what the "beast" is...but most likely nobody would want to hear that.

[AreYouReady?]

Also, the Ten Nations will be under control of a world governing body. All the "presidents" or "Kings" will govern each region they will be appointed to, but will defer to the leader of the world governing body...many think it could be the United Nations...and the U.N. does have a leader.

Has anybody here ever been to see the monstrosity in Georgia called the "Georgia Guidestones"?

Whomever spent the money to put up these "guidestones" advocates the extermination of over 5 billion people.

It is the first rule etched in stone on these massive monuments.
1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.

Somebody is counterfeiting God's Ten Commandments as if they own and/or rule God's Creation.

Nice fairy tale. It's time for bed.

[AreYouReady?]

ahhh....so I see you don't believe what the Bible says on this subject?

Or do you just have your own interpretation?

Can you refute this reasonably?

Just trying to understand your position.....

There NEVER HAS been a one world government. Rome didn't even know the other half of the world existed. Britain and France in the 18th Century were both more powerful than Rome in her heyday. Germany under Hitler was also. The U.S.S.R. during the last half of the twentieth century, and the United States today were exponentially more powerful than Rome ever was. And NONE of these "Superpowers" has EVER controlled the entire world. Ever.

China has been roughly its current size for more than 3000 years (yes every few hundred years it would be divided, but it seems to have more lives than a cat). It was larger and more powerful than almost any other.

Alexander the great was one of the few people who amassed an empire anywhere close to that of China and India. His stretched from east of Egypt all the way into Afghanistan and Pakistan. Figuring that he would have also had control of the Mediteranean Sea, He had one of the largest empires in his day, and Rome never got close.

For a government to govern, it must have a way to raise revenue, enforce its edicts, and protect its citizens. This is a basic law. It is why the League of Nations failed, the U.S. under the Articles of Confederation failed, and the U.N. is failing. They have to accept donations, and rely on militaries that it does not support financially. Thus they do not collect revenue, or enforce their will, nor guard their 'citizens'. It is also why they have been advocates for allowing the U.N. to tax the internet usage. It would provide them with a more stable source of income, which is preceeds everything else.
