The development of a global currency within a global economy.<br \/>\n3.

The development of a counterfeit bride for a counterfeit Christ (Revelation 17:1-9).<br \/>\n3. Perilous times (2 Timothy chapter 3).<\/p>\n<p>The counter prevention for Apostasy:<\/p>\n<p>1.

Looks to Take Charge of World&#8217;s Agenda<br \/>\n<strong>Article: One World Government<br \/>\n<\/strong>After a year of humiliating setbacks, United Nations Secretary General Ban ki-Moon and about 60 of his top lieutenants &#8211; the top brass of the entire U.N. system &#8211; spent their Labor Day weekend at a remote Austrian Alpine retreat, discussing ways to put their sprawling organization in charge of the world&#8217;s agenda.<br \/>\nAs one underlying theme of the sessions, the top U.N. bosses seemed to be grappling often with how to cope with the pesky issue of national sovereignty, which &#8211; according to the position papers, anyway &#8211; continued to thwart many of their most ambitious schemes, especially when it comes to many different kinds of &#8220;global governance.&#8221;<br \/>\nNot coincidentally, the conclave of bureaucrats also saw in &#8220;global governance&#8221; a greater role for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>As a position paper intended for their first group session put it, in the customary glutinous prose of the organization&#8217;s internal documents: &#8220;the U.N. should be able to take the lead in setting the global agenda, engage effectively with other multinational and regional organizations as well as civil society and non-state stakeholders, and transform itself into a tool to help implement the globally agreed objectives.&#8221;<br \/>\nAnd for that to happen, the paper continues, &#8220;it will be necessary to deeply reflect on the substance of sovereignty, and accept that changes in our perceptions are a good indication of the direction we are going.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to the paper prepared by Secretary General Ban&#8217;s own climate change team, however, the newly rebranded challenge still depends on the same economic remedy proposed for Copenhagen: a drastic redistribution of global wealth, &#8220;nothing less than a fundamental transformation of the global economy.&#8221;<br \/>\nAnd to do that, the paper suggests, equally dramatic shifts in political power may be needed. &#8220;Is the global governance structure, still dominated by national sovereignty, capable of responding with the coherence and speed needed?&#8221; it asks. &#8220;Or do we need to push the &#8216;reset&#8217; button and rethink global governance to meet the 50-50-50 Challenge?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In essence, as another paper observes, the U.N. peacekeeping effort is transforming into a new kind of supervisory organism in which not only conflicts but also national institutions and cultures must be regulated for longer and longer periods of time.<br \/>\nBut not any old multilateralism. The other major theme of the position papers is that the world organization, a haphazard array of at least 37 major funds, programs, and institutions, and a proliferating number of regulatory and other authorities, should be knitting itself into a much more close-knit global system, with greater control over its own finances, along with a stronger role in setting the international agenda. <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20151012091206\/http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/2010\/09\/08\/years-setbacks-looks-world-leader\/?test=latestnews\">Read Full Article &#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sincerely in the name of Jesus Christ,<br \/>\nRoger Oakland<\/p>\n<p>Understand The Times, International<br \/>\n________________________________________<br \/>\nemail: ro&#x61;&#x6b;&#x6c;an&#100;&#x40;&#x61;ol&#46;&#x63;&#x6f;m<br \/>\nphone: (800) 689-1888<br \/>\nweb: http:\/\/www.understandthetimes.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Understand the Times A&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[122,4683,46,45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-a-global-spirituality","category-environment-climate-change","category-politics","category-signs-of-the-times","wpcat-122-id","wpcat-4683-id","wpcat-46-id","wpcat-45-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>From Understand the Times - A Serious Warning - From the Lighthouse<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/from-understand-the-times-a-serious-warning\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"From Understand the Times - A Serious Warning\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"From Understand the Times A...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/from-understand-the-times-a-serious-warning\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"From the Lighthouse\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LighthouseTrailsResearch\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2010-09-14T23:26:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-07-09T18:41:35+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Roger Oakland\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@LTrails\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@LTrails\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Roger Oakland\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\\\/blog\\\/from-understand-the-times-a-serious-warning\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\\\/blog\\\/from-understand-the-times-a-serious-warning\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Roger Oakland\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/30980de19ee37515b4a51f2c69630085\"},\"headline\":\"From Understand the Times &#8211;
