The Rise of Globalism and the Antichrist | Dr. David Jeremiah Prophecy Teaching

The Lord will be king over all the earth and on that day there will be one Lord and his name the only name. What to know about the course of history and what to know about the climax of history. Here's the third one. What to know about the culmination of history?

What happens then? So Jesus comes back. He defeats the the armies of Armageddon that come against Israel and then come against him. Well, what happens then is what is called the millennium. During this time, the Lord will be in charge and he will fulfill all the promises he's made in scripture regarding the people of Israel and the ultimate future of the earth.

All the world will see globalization then in its finest. Not under Nimrod, not under Nebuchadnezzar, not under Greece, not under Persia, not under Rome, and not under the Antichrist. instead under the Lord Jesus Christ who will reign in that place.

Countries and cultures are more interconnected than ever. Does the Bible predict this? Is this a danger to our future? And is it ultimately a prophetic sign of the end times? Join Dr. David Jeremiah for this special prophecy edition of ((music playing)) Turning Point as he presents a sign of the end times, globalism in international prophecy.

Today on Turning Point, >> a story recently spread over the internet saying that the United Nations was quietly working on a shadowy plan to create a new world order and a one world government. Among other items under discussion was a global currency, a central bank, the end of national sovereignty, mandatory vaccines, universal basic income, microchipping of citizens, and the end of fossil fuels.

Many of these goals could be achieved according to this shadow plan by 2030, which was titled UN agenda 21/2030. Of course, when they were confronted with it, United Nations quickly disavowed the report and the media debunked it. But why did this story spread so quickly? Because every element of it seemed plausible.

It seemed possible. This is especially true in light of a global emergency like CO 19, which nearly crushed the world's economy. Imagine what would have happened had the mortality rate of the pandemic been exponentially higher. Such an exponential global crisis would certainly have called for some sort of unified global response.

And we had some of that. As you know, Dr. Albert Mhler, who's the president of one of the great seminaries in our country and a prolific writer, said that globalization means that we now understand ourselves as living in an economy and in a community that is irreversibly connected globally.

We are able to get on an airplane in virtually any American city and be at any spot on the globe within 24 hours. Globalization means that headlines from around the world can arrive as quickly as headlines from across the street. And there is a growing awareness of this fact that we are now part of a global civilization that includes and seems to reach virtually every inhabitant on this planet.

This is all new. We weren't born into this. This has happened during our lifetime. I remember over a decade ago I wrote a book about the dangers of a coming worldwide economic Armageddon. Here's what I said. Could we be standing today on the edge of a recession from which no one economy, no one nation, no one union will be able to extricate the world?

The Bible predicts that such an era is coming fueled by the world's economic convulsions. And the only answer will seem to be the unification of the nations under one economic system and one world order. One would expect, I wrote, such a process to begin with the gradual consolidation of wealth and power both nationally and globally.

Today, as we witness the merging of banks and the centralization of financial regulations, we cannot help but wonder if the Antichrist is waiting in the wings, ready to make his entrance onto the stage of this desperate world. So, what I've said so far is this, that the world has been getting smaller with each passing era.

Its interconnectedness is greater and its inhabitants more vulnerable to one world government given the right conditions. The events of recent years, including the CO 19 pandemic, have only accelerated the discussion and increased the trajectory of globalism. So what does that mean? Well, let's take a look at what we can know for certain [clears throat] about the broader scope of historical events, past, present, and future.

First, what to know about the course of history. What we see in today's trends toward globalization was long ago anticipated in biblical prophecy. The first attempt at globalization occurred in Genesis 11 when a powerful warlord named Nimrod established the Empire of Babylon and built the Tower of Babel.

He was called a mighty hunter before the Lord. What was he hunting? He was hunting people and power and glory and wealth and world domination. And as the post flood population grew, Nimrod became the first global tyrant. The Bible says this about him in 1st Chronicles 1:10. He was the first on earth to be a mighty man.

In other words, Nimrod from Genesis 11 was the father of all future dictators and the first prototype of the coming antichrist. Now when the southern kingdom of Judah was invaded in 605, a young Jewish man, a teenager was swept up and taken to the palace of Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar.

Nebuchadnezzar was the greatest and richest man who ever had lived before his time. But that didn't keep him away from having bad dreams. One night, he had such a bad dream that he summoned his adviserss and his magicians to his palace. And he demanded, listen to this, he demanded them that they tell him what his dream was and then tell him what it meant.

And of course that freaked him out cuz nobody had ever been asked to do that before. How are we supposed to know what your dream was? You tell us your dream and we'll tell you what it meant. Nebuchadnezzar said, "No, if you're not smart enough to tell me what I dreamed, you're not going to be smart enough to tell me what it meant."

And he was so angry, he said he was going to kill them all. He was going to destroy his whole brain trust. But Daniel was one of them. And Daniel prayed with his friends and and God gave him supernatural insight. And Daniel sent word up the ranks that he would be able to reveal the dream and he would be able to interpret it.

Just give me a shot at it, he said, and I'll I'll do this. So he comes before the king and this is his speech which I will read right out of the book of Daniel. No wise man, enchanter, magician or diver can explain to the king the mystery he has asked about.

But there is a god in heaven who reveals mysteries. And he has shown king Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in days to come. Nebuchadnezzar saw this massive statue. This was his dream. And its head was gold, and its chest and its arms were made out of silver, and it was bronze from its stomach to its thighs, and the legs were iron.

And the feet and the toes were partly iron and partly clay. And then Nebuchadnezzar saw a rock that had been quarried by an invisible hand. And this rock flew through the air and struck the statue, and it toppled and broke into a million tiny bits that were swept away by the wind like chaff.

The rock began to grow and soon became a mountain so large that it covered the whole earth. Now that's quite a dream. I mean, you may have had some dreams, but probably not any quite like that one. So Daniel told him, "This is what your dream was." And obviously it was because Nebuchadnezzar didn't argue with him.

And then he gave him this interpretation. And I'm going to explain this to you just as it is in the scripture and help a little bit with the screen behind me. And you'll see why this is such an important time in the whole discussion of globalization. First of all, Daniel said the head of gold represented the empire of Babylon.

That was the that was the empire that was in in power. He said the chest of silver with its two arms represented the next great world empire which was Meo Persia. One arm for each part of the nation. The stomach and thighs of bronze depicted the next stage in world history, the Greek empire of Alexander the Great.

And following that were the legs of iron. How many of you have ever heard of the iron legions of Rome? Well, this was representative of the Roman Empire. And the feet and toes are a final world empire that will arise sometime in the last days. And the rock, oh, the rock is the one that will come to demolish history at its zenith. and establish a truly global kingdom marked by righteousness and peace.

Now, let's go back over that for just a moment and get clarity on it. In the days of Nimrod, God broke up the globalization of his empire by confusing the languages. Later in the same area of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar brought the then known world under his power and Persia came after that and did the same.

And Alexander did the same for the Greeks. And then came Rome. And under all these governments, there was a sort of globalization, sort of a world domination, though without holiness and without the fear of God. And after the fall of Rome, there was no single nation or empire that dominated the world.

Since the fall of Rome, there's been no world domination. I mean, you might say that the United States is the most famous, but we are a long way from being world dominators, as you all know. But don't forget the feet and the toes on this statue because that's the part of the statue that was not fulfilled in history.

According to Daniel, there will be one more attempt at a one world government in the future. It will be something of a revival of the old Roman Empire made up of a confederation of 10 kings or kingdoms dominated by a Nimrod type dictator. But it won't last long for God will bring it to an end with the second coming of Jesus Christ.

In that one prophecy in the second chapter of Daniel, you have the most complete prophecy of what the world would look like in the future of anything you will ever find. Notice this isn't history. This is prophecy. And we're in the midst of that right now. I mean, I don't want to tell you what the 10 nations are because it doesn't say there are 10 nations.

It says there are 10 kings, 10 people of influence. But if you look at what's happening in Europe, the European coalition of nations, it's sort of the beginning of the reiteration of the Roman Empire. And the Bible says that when this happens, we are at the end of the age. and something very critical will take place.

Let's go on to the next thing. If the trajectory of history has been moving inch by inch toward a globalization for the antichrist and if the future of our planet is under the antichrist after we've gone to heaven, what sort of people should we be? In the Bible, there's a single moment of sheer surprise that answers all those questions.

And I want to close this message with that surprise passage. It's the ascension of Jesus Christ who rose from the ground, left the globe at the end of his earthly life. And the book of Acts says this, "When they had come together, they asked him, saying, Acts 1:6-11, Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom of Israel?"

And he said to them, "It is not for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father has put in his own authority, but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

And when he had spoken these things, while they watched, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven?

This same Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven will so come in like manner as you saw him go into heaven." What a precious promise that was. That the Jesus they saw go up will be the same Jesus they see come down when he comes again to set up his kingdom on this earth. then ultimately to reign and rule throughout eternity.

So what should we be doing during this time as we await the coming king and the coming kingdom? First of all, we should worship our glorified Christ. The way to stay sane when it's crazy like it is is to make sure you're worshiping the Lord. In uncertain times, we can either worry or we can worship.

And I suggest the latter. The more you worship the Lord, ((applause)) the more you worship the Lord, the less you worry about the things you don't understand. Because if he's in charge and if he's high and lifted up, really, what else matters? Because we know ultimately he will make all things right. >> Amen. >> Secondly, after worshiping your glorified Christ, here's number two.

Embrace your global mission. Let me just stop for a moment and give you another take on globalization. The disciples didn't stay in that spot gazing up into heaven after Jesus went up. They didn't fossilize there looking up to heaven. Prompted by two angels, they went back to Jerusalem to prepare for something new.

The global mission of the gospel. In a world that is globalizing, we have a mission that is global. As never before in human history, we have an opportunity to take the gospel to every town, every tribe, and every tongue. What did he say? Go into all of the world and preach the gospel.

In that respect, we all ought to be globalists. Amen. We're globalists when it comes to the spread of the gospel. The gospel is for everyone everywhere. We are called to the world. We are called to the whole globe with the gospel of Jesus Christ. God has called us to go to all the world.

Go into all the world and preach the gospel. ((applause)) So we must never fear. Christ will appear just as he ascended and he will establish a kingdom to show us how things should have always been. Then he'll usher us through the gates of our eternal home. In the meantime, let's worship him every day.

Let's speed the gospel on its way through our global reach and let's look forward to his soon and swift return. Amen. ((music playing)) >> And now with one last word for today's program, here is Dr. Jeremiah. Mankind has failed to bring peace on earth and goodwill to all men. Despite our best efforts, we have failed to learn that putting our hope and ((music playing)) trust in man-made governments and institutions is not the answer.

But there is an answer, and that is to put our hope and trust ((music playing)) in the one who is the prince of peace himself, Jesus Christ. Only he can ever fulfill the longing of humanity for peace on earth. until he returns. You can have peace in ((music playing)) your life today by trusting him.

To encourage you on that path, please allow me to send you two free gifts from Turning Point. Our booklet called Your Greatest Turning Point and our monthly devotional magazine called Turning Points. They will be a great encouragement to you, and we will gladly send them free of charge if you will contact us here at Turningpoint today.

Next time on Turning Point. We don't have to be worried about what we don't have or what we might have or what we wish we have. We have God. And I'll tell you what, I know people that have got everything the world has to offer and they don't have God and they're empty and they don't know what life is all about and they wish they could find the secret that some of their friends who have very little have found. >> Thank you for being with us today.
