From the perspective of Bible prophecy, 2015 may be remembered as the year Satan’s key project began to rise. Since at least the time of Nimrod, Satan has been laying the groundwork for a one-world government, with his man in charge. Through the millennia since, he’s had successes and setbacks. But in 2015, the foundation became complete enough for him to begin building the actual edifice. [2015] seemed to bring us to the critical time when Satan’s one-world order got on final track.
2015 showed us that the Antichrist may not establish his power through a dramatic military coup or the takeover of a particular national government. Instead, it may well come through his control of a global, trans- and supra-national governing body.
And we witnessed in 2015 the breathtaking birth of those bodies that may control the world one day. […]
On October 5, 2015, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was formed by 12 Pacific Rim nations. It will be an unbelievably powerful governing regime that can change the rules however it wishes and there is nothing the participants can do about it.
Though supposedly formed to regulate and facilitate trade between the 12 nations, the TPP Commission will be granted power and authority that is almost unbelievable. Here are just a few of the things that the TPP will have dictatorial power over: immigration, wealth redistribution, education, human rights, gay rights, same-sex marriage, gun control, health care, women’s reproductive rights, abortion, sustainable development, pollution, wildlife and wetlands, and the authority to give foreign nations complete access to American markets. It will be able to punish nations with multi-billion dollar fines and punish individuals who organize boycotts against products. It is also going to make it illegal to mark a product as “Made in the USA.”
And its companion treaty is The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.
Very little about trade, but a lot about global control.
But in 2015, TPP was not the worst deal of the year. In fact, it wasn’t even second worst. That distinction falls to the Iran nuclear deal.
The worst international agreement of 2015 was approved unanimously by every member of the United Nations General Assembly. It is a so-called “climate” agreement known as Agenda 2030.
Supposedly created to deal with climate issues, the agreement includes items like plans to “reduce… violence and death rates.” And, “provide justice for all.” And “provide legal identity for all including birth registration.”
That seems like a lot of stuff that has little to do with the climate! This pact will lead to the most extreme totalitarian regime ever conceived and, eventually, to the “Mark of the Beast.” Very little about the climate, but a lot about global control.
In 2015, Pope Francis jumped wholeheartedly on the climate change bandwagon. Throughout the year, he chastised individual nations that place their national interests above the common global good and stand in the way of international progress toward climate control. He thinks that’s a bad thing. And he called for governments to cede their authority to a higher agency — and he wasn’t talking about Almighty God, either.
The Pope has been hoodwinked by the secular agenda of those working toward a one-world government. He seems not to understand that Agenda 2030 is not about the climate. It never was. It is about the politics of the New World Order.
In 2015, European leaders welcomed massive numbers of Muslims into their countries. It has now accelerated from immigration to invasion.
And while the United States has been fairly focused on ISIS, al-Qaeda and the Taliban have been re-establishing themselves in Afghanistan. During the 2012 campaign, President Obama disingenuously bragged that “al-Qaeda is on the run.” But at the moment, al-Qaeda is preparing to run Afghanistan.
In 2015, ISIS proved that its tentacles now reach into much of the world, including the United States. I guess they are no longer President Obama’s “J.V. team.”
In America, 2015 saw acceleration of the brutal new despotism known as Political Correctness.
“Tolerance” used to mean “forbearance,” or “to allow,” or “to agree to disagree,” or even, “to endure what you don’t like.” No longer.
American schools today teach our children that “tolerance” means “full endorsement” and that anything less than “full endorsement” means “intolerance.” It started with the issue of homosexuality. Children are being taught that if you don’t endorse and promote homosexuality, then you must be an intolerant bigot.
That same absurd thinking has now spread to the subject of Islam. So, to teach our schoolchildren tolerance of Islam, they are taught to embrace Islam. Ironically, the Muslim faith is the most “intolerant” of all major religions.
In 2015, the Church essentially kept silent when the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage is legal in all 50 states. The Apostle John tells the sad story of rulers who believed in Jesus, but did not confess Him because they were afraid the Pharisees would put them out of the synagogue. He said, “They loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.” (John 12:43 NASB)
In America, too many churches value full pews and offering plates above the approval of God. Yet, in other parts of the world, 2015 saw Christians die horrible deaths rather than in any way renounce Christ and His Word. They were crucified, beheaded, beaten, burned, separated from their families, and had their tongues cut from their mouths because they refused to deny Christ.
…………………………………………………………
2015 was a pivotal year in the end-times prophetic scenario. It is stunning how many major events occurred and how many pieces of the puzzle fell into place. That can only mean one thing: the return of Jesus Christ for His Church may be right around the corner. Get ready!
