World system of today collapses being filled with demons, foul spirits, and detestable animals.
“After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.” Revelation 18:1

“After these things” refer to after the formation of the global government of the beast, through the “woman and the beast”, as described in Revelations 17. Our Lord Jesus Christ gives the Apostle John a vision of the collapse of this present world system, which is the subject of this chapter of Revelations.

The great authority that the angel has was given to him by the Lord, through Christ Jesus. While the glory illuminates from the angel, we know all such glory comes from God through Jesus Christ. The glory of the lord, illuminating from the angel, illuminates the whole earth. The glory illuminating the whole earth is the victory that Christ Jesus has over the global government of the beast. The angel cries mightily with a loud voice saying,

“Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen,
and has become a dwelling place of demons,
a prison for every foul spirit,
and a cage for every unclean and detestable animal.
Revelations 18:2

All through the book of Revelations, “Babylon” is described as the global government of the beast, as quoted in the next verse, 3, “For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” Revelation 18:3 “Babylon” refers to all the earth: “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” Revelations 17:5 “Babylon” is the great global “city”, a “city” of all nations of the earth: “And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” Revelations 14:8 “Babylon” faces the fierce wrath of God as does all its cities and nations: “Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.” Revelations 16:19

“Babylon” is the global government of the beast and is working by the power of Satan. Satan is the source of demons and foul spirits. Demons and foul spirits are given life by denying God the Creator, by discarding the need for Jesus Christ, and by opposing the presence of the Holy Spirit. Today, the beast is already in the world and has power over physiology to be able to give people what to say, do, think, and feel. Today’s culture, which is global, does not acknowledge God the Creator, Jesus Christ, nor do they want the Holy Spirit to be part of who they are.

The world is becoming more demonic as the days progress. The beast gives breath/life to the image of the beast to speak by speaking and living through people. By what they are given to say and do, they are conformed to the mark, name, number of the beast. Even today, we see how real it is that this present world system will collapse as it becomes a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and detestable animal. Even today, we see those demons and fouls spirits manifest in the presence of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and our born-again experience is the Gospel of Christ written on our heart. The demonic forces are verbally and behaviorally hostile to we who live in the presence of the Holy Spirit, we who make Christ Jesus the Lord of our life.

Even today, we see how animals are becoming more vicious and aggressive, even house pets are no longer the “fluffy” type. As a 1959 Baby Boomer, common pets were along the lines of poodles, pugs, collies, Irish sitters, docile mix breeds, wiener dogs, beagles, sheep dogs, etc. Chihuahuas, Dobermans, Rottweilers, and German shepherds were about as scary and vicious as they came. The common house pets of my day have dwindled significantly. I look around today and wonder where they have all gone. The pets and animals in the world nowadays would eat “fluffy” for breakfast.

The United Nations was established in 1945, immediately after World War 2, and brought the government of the beast with it, as described in Daniel 8:1-14 and also Revelations 17.

“For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” Revelation 18:3

That verse draws a picture of a woman offering wine, causing people to become drunk, then causing them to commit fornication with her. Then the wrath of the consequences of that fornication would come. During the time when the Apostle John saw this vision, stoning to death was a remedy against committing fornication.

“Fornication” is to serve someone or something other than the Living God. “Fornication” is to reject Jesus and the Holy Spirit to bond with someone or something that gratifies physiological, carnal, and fleshly desires. In the case of the global government and its global culture, they are committing fornication by meshing with the beast that gives them what to speak, think, feel, and do. The fleshly gratification they receive is empowerment with uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, extraordinary talents and skills, amazing physical abilities and feats, sensual pleasures and comforts, fabricated emotional responses, uncanny authority over others, materialism, etc. The consequence of that drunken behavior is the wrath of the judgment of God, the destruction of this present world system, and eternal Hell.

Today, every governing official, of every nation, on every continent, has given their allegiance to the beast that has power over physiology to empower them with what to speak, do, think, and feel. The “Sustainable Development Goals” of the United Nations are being used to rally the world population and nations as a collective force to establish the United Nations as the undisputed one world government, the government of the beast. We are truly seeing a global culture that has “…drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication…”

The global economy of the undisputed one world government is being built on the cooperation of every country and nation of the United Nations. They have united in the goal of creating global prosperity through world trade, but putting worldly prosperity above God, Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, “…and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”

People in every city around the world are drinking what the culture of the beast is serving them. They are groomed to put more importance on earthly possessions, money, comforts, and human dependency, while turning from God and detesting the idea of the remission of sin through Jesus Christ. That describes humanism, which is the fig leaf worn by those living for the beast that gives them what to say, do, think, and feel. Humanism is “…an outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. Humanist beliefs stress the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasize common human needs, and seek solely rational ways of solving human problems…”

The wrath of God’s judgment comes against the fornication committed by the global government and its global culture. Global warming is here and is the Fourth Plague of Revelations 16:8-9. Global warming is instrumental in bringing the destruction of the power center of the beast, as described in the Fifth Plague of Revelations 16:10-11. That renders the government of the beast powerless. Then comes the Battle of Armageddon, as described in Revelations 16:12-17. Our Lord Jesus returns when the Seventh Trumpet sounds, as described in Revelations 11:15-18.

God’s people are warned to stay apart from today’s culture, which is global.
“And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4

God’s people will be on this earth when this present world system collapses, and God brings the wrath of His judgment to the global culture of the beast. God’s people are we who believe in Jesus Christ, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:12-13

We are warned, now, to come out of the culture of the beast, not to be part their community network. That does not mean that we are supposed to fly to mars or some other distant planet, but to not share in their rebellion against God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. We are to mourn the presence of the beast that has power over physiology to impose on people what to feel, think, say, and do. “Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God...And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God.” James 4:4, 2 Corinthians 6:16

Today’s culture is united and functions through the “6-6-6”, and we do not want any part of that. They have no belief in God the Creator [6], discard the need for Jesus Christ who forgives unbelief [6], and fights against the presence of the Holy Spirit [6]. When God sends the wrath of His plagues upon this earth, we want to make sure that our heart, mind, and soul rests in our faith in Jesus Christ, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23

Today’s culture treasures what this world has to offer but shuns the treasures that God has stored for us in the eternal New Jerusalem, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21

This culture’s plagues will also include “foul and loathsome sores”, as quoted, “So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.” Revelations 16:2 Those plagues also include what is mentioned in this verse, “Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.” Revelations 16:10-11 There is also whatis mentioned in Revelations 9:3-4, “Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.”

The whole world serves the beast, except for we whose name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14

Retribution against the global culture comes for exalting itself above God and Jesus Christ. 
“For her sins have piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her.” Revelation 18:5-6

The sins under the United Nations (government of the beast) pile up so high that there is no escaping the destructive consequences which come as a result. A description of “…her sins have piled up to heaven…” is found in this verse, “…has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and detestable animal.” Revelations 18:2 That happens because the population of the world follows the beast that gives people what to speak, do, think, and feel, as quoted, “All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelations 13:8 The “him” in that verse is the beast of the image and mark of the beast.

This is prophetically written of today’s global culture, “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Genesis 6:5 “Man” refers to humanity. Click here for a post on Genesis 6.

The sins pile up to Heaven because the Holy Spirit is removed from the population of the world. Lawlessness abounds when the Holy Spirit is no longer available because He is who restrains lawlessness, as quoted, “For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.” 2 Thessalonians 2:6-8 Click here for a post on the lawless one.

God remembers the iniquities of those who reject Jesus Christ because their unbelief is not forgiven. They habitually mock and grieve the Holy Spirit which gives rise to lawlessness and a world filled with foul spirits, demons, and every detestable bird and animal. Just as those who are hostile to Jesus persecute those who believe in Him, and make a mockery of the Holy Spirit, God will do to them and pay them double. The global government of the beast has mixed a cup requiring all people to drink of the potion given by the beast that gives people what to speak, do, think, and feel. God will repay the culture of the beast double within the Holiness of His wrath and judgment. The global government and its global culture will be utterly destroyed. And this chapter of Revelations 18 describes the total collapse of the global economy.

In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.” Revelation 18:7-8

Today, the members of the United Nations see the assembly of the United Nations as the future undisputable one world government, with control over the economy of the world. The United Nations glorifies itself by setting itself up as the solution to the world’s problems, the path to survival, peace, prosperity, climate revival, and global unity. That is seen as the “Sustainable Development Goals” are being embraced by countries around the world. “…she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’” The global government persuades the global population that they are building an earthly Garden of Eden, but our Lord says, “A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, like the morning clouds spread over the mountains. A people come, great and strong, the like of whom has never been; Nor will there ever be any such after them…A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns; The land is like the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness…” Joel 2:2-3 Click here for the full chapter of Joel 2.

Destruction is coming to those proposing an earthly Garden of Eden, and the global economy totally collapses, “… her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.” The global government suffers devastation within the events of the Seven Trumpets of Revelations 8, 9, and 11], the events of the Seven Thunders of Revelations 10, and the events of the Seven Plagues of Revelations 16.

The beast behind the power of the global government and its global culture is the one who sets itself up as God in the temple of God, our body. That is done by giving people what to speak, do, think, and feel. That beast feels invincible like it will never see sorrow and never be left powerless. That 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 that verse is the “man of sin”. Click here for a post on the “man of sin”. The power center of the beast is destroyed in the Fifth Plague of Revelations 16:10-11.

“How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation…” Isaiah 14:12-13 Click here for a post on Isaiah 14:12-13

Satan was defeated when he was cast out of Heaven as Lucifer (strike one). Satan was defeated when Jesus Christ died on the Cross and was raised from the dead with victory over sin and death (strike two). And Satan will be defeated when Jesus Christ returns to cast him eternally into the pit of hell (strike three and he’s out!).

World trade of land resources, and human trafficking collapses.
“The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’” Revelation 18:9-10

In “one hour,” the judgment against the global government of the beast comes. Today, we can literally see how quickly that judgment is coming. Immediately after WW2, in 1945, the United Nations was established and brought the government of the beast, as described in Daniel 8:1-14 and also Revelation 17. Already, global warming is in the world and is the Fourth Plague spoken about in Revelation 16:8-9. The more powerful the United Nations become as the one world government the hotter and more intense the effects of global warming become. The beast has power in this world for “42 months” and the “42 months” began with the United Nations and ends when the power center of the beast is plunged into darkness in the Fifth Plague of Revelations 16:10-11.…Click here for a post about the beast’s “42 months” from Revelations 13:5-6.

The kings of the earth who commit fornication and live luxuriously within the global government of the beast are the countries and nations around the world.

The fornication they commit is to form a bond with the beast that empowers them through what they are given to speak, do, think, and feel. In that fornification, they desire the wealth and prosperity possessed through the global economy of this world. In that worldly luxury, they turn away from God the Creator [6], reject of Jesus Christ [6], and oppose the presence of the Holy Spirit [6]. While they absorb the comfort of their prosperity today, they will weep and lament when they see the source of their prosperity go up in smoke. The leaders of the nations of the world will stand clear of the tormented global government of the beast. National leaders standing clear of global leaders who were guardians over the resources of the world.

The national leaders will stand afar off, saying, “Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.” The global government is that “great city” represented as “Babylon”. They weep and lament for her, not glad at all that her judgment has come at last.

“And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore: merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.” Revelation 18:11-13

Today’s global government sees human beings as being in the same category as merchandise and animals, even though their deception is all about representing humanitarian interests. “Men” in the Bible usually refers to “mankind” or all of humanity. All of humanity is considered a possession or merchandise of the beast that has power over physiology to impose upon them what to do, say, feel, and think. People are being trafficked and used as vessels for whatever purpose the beast has for them. The bodies and souls of people everywhere are merchandise and possessions of the global government of the beast. This will go on until this present world system is destroyed and our Lord Jesus returns.

Also, human trafficking relating to sexual, labor, and other such practices exist within the global government of the beast. This is a form of persecution and affliction against those who do not condone the atheistic culture, which is global. Many will be imprisoned and killed but others will be used, abused, and trafficked sexually, for labor, etc. This will go on until this present world system is destroyed and our Lord Jesus returns. The term “human trafficking” will probably not be used in order to protect the humanitarian image of the global government and its global culture.

Economic prosperity and a squeaky-clean image mean more to the global government than human beings. They value the things that make the world rich, prosperous, smelling good, having a smooth and fine image. They value gold, silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood [fragrance and beauty], every type of object of ivory, every type of precious wood, bronze, iron, marble, cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, and wheat. However, the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over the destruction of the global economy because no one buys their merchandise anymore. No one wants their human merchandise anymore.

“The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you will find them no more at all.” Revelation 18:14

The fruit of the soul that the nations of the government of the beast longs for is not the fruit of the Holy Spirit. The fruit they long for is prosperity and wealth coming through the global economy. All the things which are rich and splendid will be gone from the nations of the world and they will find them no more at all. That’s because the world resources of the global government go up in smoke.

The nations of this world also long for the fruit of the beast that sets itself up as God within our body [the temple of God], as described in 2 Thessalonians 2:4 That fruit includes uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, extraordinary skills and talents, uncanny authority over others, fabricated emotional responses, amazing physical abilities and feats, physiological pleasures and comforts, etc. That fruit leaves them when the power center of the beast is plunged into darkness, as described in in the Fifth Plague of Revelations 16:10-11.

“The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!” Revelation 18:15-16

World trade of ocean routes collapses.
“For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.’ Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like this great city?’ “They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.’ ” Revelation 18:17-19

In the previous section, the “one hour” in which the global government and its global economy come to nothing is spoken about. All of the earth’s resources and human resources go up in smoke. In this section, all of the shipping industries come to nothing as there is no place on land to dock the ships. With that, there are no profits to be made by shipping imports and exports. That collapse of international shipping affects every shipmaster, everyone who travels by ship, every sailor, and all those who trade by sea. That would include cruise ships [if they exist at that time], every sort of travel by ocean, military ships, commercial fishing boats, and commercial cargo ships [that keeps the global economy afloat]. They cry out, weeping and wailing, and saying, “…all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour, she is made desolate.”

With the land resources and human resources going up in smoke, there would not be much commerce to transport nor any other profitable opportunity to travel from shore to shore by sea/ocean. The global economy collapses beyond repair.

We must never put our hope in the resources of this earth. Only Jesus Christ can provide the Heaven this world is trying to build. The promise made by the global government of an earthly Garden of Eden, promoted through the “Sustainable development Goals” of the United Nations, will never happen, “A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, like the morning clouds spread over the mountains. A people come, great and strong, the like of whom has never been; Nor will there ever be any such after them…A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns; The land is like the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness…” Joel 2:2-3 Click here for the full chapter of Joel 2.

Jesus says to us, “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” Matthew 7:24-27

Call to rejoice over the global collapse.
“Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!” Revelation 18:20

As followers of Jesus Christ, we rejoice that the global culture of the beast will be destroyed. We rejoice with all of Heaven, all of the Holy Apostles of the New Testament era, and all of the Prophets of God in the Old Testament. The day of the end of the anti-Christian global culture is the day every person of God prays for. The answer to those prayers comes through the devastation within the events of the Seven Trumpets of Revelations 8, 9, and 11], the events of the Seven Thunders of Revelations 10, and the events of the Seven Plagues of Revelations 16.

That day of rejoicing is the answer to the question asked by those who had been killed for living for Christ Jesus, “I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.” Revelations 6:9-11 Click for post on Revelations 6.

“For thus says the Lord of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye. For surely I will shake My hand against them, and they shall become spoil for their servants.” Zachariah 2:8-9

As people who uphold the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we are harassed all day long by the culture of the beast that is given what to do and say by the beast. The beast himself afflicts our thoughts and feelings trying to chase us away from living for Jesus Christ. It wants to enable the image of the beast to live and speak through us. It wants to conform us to the anti-Christian global culture by grooming us to the mark, name, number of the beast by what we are given to say and do. We rejoice for the day of the destruction of the beast and its global government. We rejoice for the day God avenges us on them.

Today’s government is the last of earthly government.
“Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence the great city Babylon will be thrown down, and will not be found anymore.” Revelation 18:21

A millstone represents the livelihood of every city around the world. It was used to grind grain to prepare the grain for making food. The millstone would be the equivalent of every food processing plant in this world today. Throwing the millstone into to the sea symbolizes the collapse of the global food processing industry. That would follow the ruin of the trade of land and ocean resources, which would be devastating to the ability to process food in the tightly interwoven global economy. With that, inflation and unemployment would be extremely high and thievery and murders a way of life.

T0day, we see how the United Nations has implemented their “Sustainable Development Goals” within every nation around the world. They are steadily progressing in becoming the one world government where America and all nations will be a state under their governance. It is the very last form of government that this world will ever know. In the past, one government would fall, and another would rise to replace it, not the case this time. When the global government of the beast collapses, it is the end of this world’s system. We are witnessing the formation of the very last government structure on this planet. When it collapses, it’s a time when Jesus Christ eternally defeats the beast, the second beast (false prophet), and Satan. “The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.” Revelations 20:10 A new heaven and earth will be created where the New Jerusalem will exist, our eternal home.

“The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters will not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft will be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone will not be heard in you anymore. The light of a lamp will not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you anymore.” Revelation 18:22-23

The paragraph above describes total and complete global tribulation. Envision not being able to produce electricity for light, manufacturing, businesses, shopping centers, education, governing offices, heat, warmth, and cooking. Even the production of music would come to an end. Unemployment would be off the charts as there would be no businesses open to hire employees. In that end of end times, marriage would be a fairy tale notion as people would be using and abusing others for sexual gratification. This is a time when the Holy Spirit has been taken from the world due to the rejection of Jesus Christ and the denial of God the Creator. This collapses the global government and its global economy. Click here for a post on lawlessness from 2 Thessalonians 2.

God brings His vengeance against this world by totally destroying everything it built. A house built on sand cannot stand. The world will be totally void and useless.

Spiritually speaking, we see the beginning of the end for the United Nations, even before it becomes the undisputed one world government. The Light of Jesus Christ is not shining in the world as the global falling away from belief in God has happened. The churches have abandoned the Gospel of Christ to partner with the community agenda. Government lawmakers no longer integrate the values of the Bible into laws, policies, and executive orders. The educational system prohibits the teaching of the Gospel of Christ in classrooms. And no sector of the community welcomes Christianity. People are no longer being married to Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. Speaking to the global government, the light of a lamp will not shine in you anymore.

Music that glorifies Jesus as the Christ and Son of God, in the presence of the Holy Spirit, is not being heard anymore. The Spirit of Holiness in music has disappeared. The spread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is being prohibited as we who work to spread the testimony of Jesus are prohibited from doing so. As our Lord Jesus says, “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” John 9:4-5

Reminder of why this world system collapses.
“For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.” Revelation 18:23-24

“….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
