Gentle wind became a hurricane size storm.

Acts 27:13-15

“When a gentle south wind began to blow, they saw their opportunity; so, they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete. Before very long, a wind of hurricane force, called the Northeaster, swept down from the island. The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so, we gave way to it and were driven along.” Acts 27:13-15 

In the picture below, we see the shoreline of Crete that the captain of the ship chose to follow.

In the previous post on Acts 27:9-12, a ship was boarded and began its course to arrive at the world capital. Paul was on that ship and warned the captain against sailing onward because of being in hurricane season. Paul was on that ship as a prisoner, and was being taken to Rome, the world capital, to face his final judgment and sentencing for preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Jewish leaders were responsible for the charges brought against him.

Paul, an experienced sailor, warned of sailing during hurricane season, but the captain, pilot, and owner of the ship ignored Paul’s warning. So, when a gentle wind began to blow, the operators of the ship saw this as the opportunity to sail on. They raised the anchor and began to sail along the shoreline of Crete. Very shortly after, a hurricane strength wind was blowing against the ship. The ship was not able to maneuver through the wind, and the crew was forced to allow the wind to drive it along.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we warn about the storms that are coming against the establishment of the one world government and its global culture. The global government is established through the goals of the United Nations. The warnings are given as mentioned in the events of the Seven Trumpets of Revelation 8, 9, 11 and of the Seven Plagues of Revelation 16. A gentle wind began to blow in 1945 when the United Nations was formed right after WW2, and brought the government of the beast with it, as described in Daniel 8:1-14. In the gentle wind, the UN decided to seize the opportunity to sail forward in establishing the one world government. They raised the anchor, nothing holding them back, and onward they went.

Before very long, a wind of hurricane force began to fill the United Sates, Israel, and around the world. The United Nations voted to establish the State of Israel in 1947. Since the State of Isreal was inaugurated in 1948, Israel has been in 18 wars, even a war in 1948. Click here for a list of those wars and scroll to the middle of the page. The conflict in Israel is being watched around the world through television, internet, etc. Why? Because it represents two main themes that the United Nations despise: politics and religion. In the process, peoples and nations around the world are becoming fed-up and riled by politics and religion. The goal of the United Nations, in becoming the one world government, is to eliminate all political and religious boundaries.

[As Christians, we know the Jewish people were gathered to Israel in 1948 as the place where God unleashes His judgment on them, Ezekiel 22:19-21. Jesus said, “See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’” Matthew 23:38-39]

The global government and its global culture are established on the entity that lives within the thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors of people everywhere. This entity sets in the temple of God, our body, as if it is God. This is the entity that makes itself more important than all religions, all politics, God, and anything called God. This is the one “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 The “he” in this verse is the “man of sin”.

In the United States, and around the world, exists the hurricane winds of violence, crime, illegal immigration tumult, economic woes, political turmoil, etc. Crime, violence, bloodshed, and killing are in every sector of society. The bloodshed is in the schools, churches, homes, the ranks of law-enforcement, in the rank of government officials, in restaurants, shopping malls, bars, festivals, in the open streets between passers-by, road rage, on hiking trails, in camping places, at birthday parties, and the list goes on. Television broadcasts routinely air “candlelight vigils”, which are actually nothing more than televised funeral services. Then there are the actual televised funeral processions of cars lined up for far distances as a casket of a law-enforcement officer, or other person, is carried to a resting place. People gather in protests against the violence, seeking for answers from community and government leaders as well as law-enforcement agencies.

The “hurricane winds” affect people and nations across the globe and cause them to seek solutions coming from community and government leaders, solutions echoing the agenda and goals of the United Nations. The turmoil of the “hurricane winds” within the cities, states, and nations are enabling the United Nations to market themselves as the powerbroker of peace and savior of the world. They are allowing themselves to be driven by the “hurricane winds” to propel them along in the course of being established as the one world government.

Today’s leaders set themselves up as if they are the Christ that will lead people and nations out of the storm and into an earthly Garden of Eden, “The land is like the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness…” Joel 2:3 The New Jerusalem doesn’t come in stages and there is no Garden of Eden that is coming in the year 2030, or any other established due date. The eternal Garden of Eden [the New Jerusalem] comes when Jesus Christ returns, and He comes like a flash of lightening, not through stages, riots, social storms, etc.

“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” Matthew 24:23-27

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
