The UN Millennium Peace Summit

Here we go again. One would think that I would cease to be surprised at the level of arrogance mankind is capable of exhibiting. But, here I am with my chin on my chest as I peruse the web sites so graciously provided to the duped, oops, I mean huddled masses by the UN. On August 28, the Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders will open at the United Nations. They are hailing it as the first gathering Aof its kind.@ The Summit is being Aconvened to coordinate religious and spiritual leadership as an interfaith ally to the United Nations in its quest for peace, global understanding and international cooperation.@ The stated objective of the Summit is a signed declaration for world peace.

Apparently, the United Nations does not have the stuff needed to achieve peace, so the world=s Areligious@ leaders are ready to step in. They are preparing to unite under one banner within the UN through the establishment of an ongoing International Advisory Council of Religious and Spiritual Leaders. General Secretary of the Summit, Bawa Jain, has stated that it will be this group=s Amoral authority@ that will save the day if conflict arises.

It would be fascinating to be a fly on the wall at the Council=s first resolution meeting and see how someone who has astrally projected himself elsewhere; someone who holds to no independent reality, and someone who thinks everyone needs to be left alone to work out their Karma will come to an agreement as to whose morality will prevail. I can hear it now, Awhat are you talking about? Who=s to say it=s war? You have your reality, I have mine, they have theirs, you know, I=m not telling anybody what to do. Peace brother.@

AHey, what=s happening? Oh, never mind...oohhmm.@

AHey, man will you close that window? My incense is blowing out.@

Well, it won=t go quite like that, but it will be interesting to see whose brand of morality, or immorality, will prevail. The differences in belief systems are so inexhaustible that all we will be left with is a watered down globalized spirituality that stands for nothing, except centralized global control of course.

These world Aspiritual leaders@ will sit atop their tower of Babel believing they have within themselves the power to overcome man=s inhumanity against man. The most eye-popping statement written by organizers of the summit proclaims ; AIf peace is to be attained in this new millennium, the human community must acknowledge its spiritual potential and recognize that it is within our power to eradicate the worst form of human brutality B war B as well as one of the root causes of war B poverty. The time is ripe for the world's spiritual leadership to work more closely with the United Nations in its effort to address the pressing needs of humankind.@ (Bold emphasis added.)

Once again, global welfare rears its ugly headCthe root cause of war is poverty. This Aspiritual@ gathering obviously has nothing to do with the Bible or its God. The Summit congregates= understanding of the causes of violence and war is far from scriptural. It is not poverty that causes war, it is sin, sin in the heart of every human being. One of the direct results of sin is greed. Wars are fought because of greed, bigotry and the thirst for power, not poverty.

This push will bring spirituality into the forefront of the world political scene. If the agenda of this Summit comes to fruition, it will provide a quantum leap in the evolution of globalized religion, and the lines between the global political powers and spiritual will all but disappear.

As the world winds its way further and further down the path to global government and a one-world religion, we will find ourselves with a world-wide spirituality where tolerance is God, and those who hold to Jesus Christ as the only Way to only one God the Father, (not mother), will be found hopelessly (perhaps criminally) intolerant. Those who are not covered in the precious blood of the spotless Lamb of God will be lulled into complacency and ambiguity by the gods of the age. Because they don=t stand for anything, they will not stand at all. The ultimate outcome of the all-encompassing world religion is a foregone conclusion: A⁵And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. ⁶And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. ⁷And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. ⁸And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. ⁹If any man have an ear, let him hear.@ Revelation. 13.5-9 V ks
