By Rev. Prof. Barie Fez-Barringten
52,156 words on 155 pages (include illus)
The sign of the second coming of Jesus, and of the end of the world; is the rudder
out of this world‘s mess.

Christ‘s
 prophesies as written by Mathew, John, Isaiah, Daniel, David, Moses, Luke and others.
Prolog:
Not unlike the perceptions of the realities of the signs of our deteriorating mortal bodies we too see the signs of our deteriorating world. Not the planet (although ecologist, environmentalist and politicians see
this as well) but the world‘s
social/political/economic structure balance and stability. But these are normal in the ebb and flow of life and the nature of world. However, it is the interventions, quirks and their dynamic and frequency which quicken our hearts and souls to believe

the prophecy of the end of time.

Current world crisis:

Faced with a world which desensitizes about the person, works and purposes of Satan, cries for a new world order and rampant violations of the word of God this work is intended to refocus attention on the second coming of Jesus, and G
od‘s vengeance
on the sin, deception and lies of Satan. The world has accepted Satan as a condition of normal, so-called, modern life; life and the Godly as nonsense and abnormal The word of God is being perverted, misquoted and defaced by adept Satanist who hides behind church robes, national leaders and corporate management. Christians must have confidence in their salvation, and the truth of the word of God which is summed up in Jesus Sermon on the Mount of Olives
: ―
The sign of the second coming of Jesus, and of the end of the world
.‖
 Here is what former president Bush proclaimed:

Until now, the world we've known has been a world divided
 — 
a world of barbed wire and concrete block, conflict and cold war. Now, we can see a new world coming into view. A world in which there is the very real prospect of a new world order. In the words of Winston Churchill, a "world order" in which "the principles of justice and fair play ... protect the weak against the strong ..." A world where the United Nations, freed from cold war stalemate, is poised to fulfill the historic vision of its founders. A world in which freedom and respect for human right
s find a home among all nations‖
 Here is what
has been perverted:‖

Acts 1:14
 says that Jesus' disciples were  praying with one accord after Jesus' ascension to heaven. Also,
Romans 15:6
 says that Christians should glorify God with
one accord‖
 The
so-called
 one world is totally against the will of God which he made very clear in
Genesis 11:1-9;

 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech

As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
3
They said to each other, ―Come, let‘s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.‖ They
used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.
4
Then they
said, ―Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the
heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over
the face of the whole earth.‖

5
But the L
ORD
 came down to see the city and the tower the people were building.
6

The L
ORD

said, ―If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do
this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
7

Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each othe
r.‖

8
So the L
ORD
 scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9

That is why it was called Babel
 — 
 because there the L
ORD
 confused the language of the whole world. From there the L
ORD
 scattered them over the face of the whole earth
Undoing this is obviously not the will of God! Rev. Adrian Dieleman writes (in part):

As man began to multiply in number they moved eastward from Ararat, the resting place of the ark 
.‖
They found a plain in Shinar and settled there" (
Gen 11:2).

(Gen 11:3-4)
 "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly; Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens ..."
Here man made an unholy alliance with fellow man. Here man proposed an ungodly covenant. More specifically, we can fault both the motive and the purpose for building the city with its tower. The motive for building the city with its tower was pride:
(Gen 11:4)

Then they said,
 "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves ..."
The citizens of Babel wanted to build a monument to themselves. They wanted to be able to point to that high tower and say, "
Look! Look at what we built
 – 
 a tower that stretches to the heavens."
They wanted to be remembered for years to come for their engineering skill, intelligence, ambition, organization, and administration
.
In contrast to this, over and over again in Scripture we are given the message of 
 Micah
 6:8

 – 

that man is to walk humbly with his God. Like the psalmist we are to look at the works of God's hands
 – 
 the sun, moon, stars, and vast reaches of outer space
 – 
 and ask,
"What is man?" (
Ps 8:4).
 Man is transitory, merely a temporary resident of this earth.
(
Gen 11:4)
 "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth."

Man was afraid of being divided, separated, spread out, of being
 "scattered over the face of the whole earth.

The tower served, then, as a kind of landmark. But more than that, it also gave identity, a sense of belonging, a feeling of security
.
 God say to man,
 (
Gen 1:28)
 "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
In fact, God blessed man to do this. God's grace and favor rests upon man so that man will go out and humbly fill and subdue the earth. Man's purpose, then, in building the city and tower was in direct disobedience to the command God gave at the time of man's creation.

Now, at that time, according to Scripture,
 "the whole world had one language and a common speech"
(Gen 11:1).

Can you imagine a time when man was not divided into nations, tribes, peoples, and languages? Can you imagine a time when there existed only one culture, when all people shared a common heritage, history, and even thought patterns?

In the days of Peleg, says Scripture,
 "the earth was divided"
(Gen 10:25).

At the time of Babel man was divided into different languages. This caused man to scatter over the face of the earth. This caused the formation of different cultures. Even thought processes were changed. It was at Babel, then, that man was separated and divided into different languages, tribes, peoples, and nations. This division was both a curse and a blessing for man. It was a blessing in that man was now obedient to God's command to fill the earth and subdue it. It was a blessing in that the division of mankind made it possible for the many-sided abilities of the human race to come out. It was a blessing in that the division of mankind prevents all of humanity banding together in acts of evil. But, the division of mankind was also a curse in that mankind was no longer one even outwardly. Mankind was now marked by suspicion, estrangement, hostility, and even hatred towards those who were different in either language, race, nationality, or place of residence. It was at Babel, as Scripture says, that
 "the earth was divided" (
Gen 10:25).
 What happened on Pentecost? Luke's intent is to reveal to us that Pentecost is the reversal of the curse of Babel. At Babel the earth was divided; God brought about the formation of different languages and cultures. But on Pentecost the unity of humanity was restored. For, notice what happens when the Spirit is poured out and indwells the disciples: they begin at once to address themselves to people of every nation and every tongue. The Spirit enabled them so to speak that all their listeners understood.

At Babel
 "the Lord confused the language of the whole world" (
Gen 11:9)

so that man could no longer understand and communicate with each other. But on Pentecost a new language was spoken, a language they all could understand a language that united in spite of linguistic, cultural, and racial barriers. According to Acts2:41, some three thousand "
from every nation under heaven
" was joined together as part of the church that day
.
In his book,
Pentecost and Missions
, Dr. Harry Boer has this to say,


 
 4
At Pentecost Babel was reversed. People of every language, tongue, tribe, and nation are now united by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Their culture and language may be different  but the message they hear is the same
 – 
 the message of the wonders of God, of salvation in and through Christ. Through the Spirit this message calls upon all men to repent and  believe so that sins may be forgiven. Pentecost has come but we wait with eager longing for the second coming of Christ. For at that time a new language will be spoken: the language of all the redeemed. It is the language of the new heaven and new earth. It is the language spoken when sin with all its consequences is overcome by the power of God's grace in Christ. The prophet Zephaniah speaks of that time. According to the prophet, the Lord says:
(Zeph. 3:9)

Yet, at that time I will change the speech of the peoples to a pure speech, that all of them may call on the name of the Lord and serve him with one accord. Then, finally, there will be true and perfect unity between persons of every nation, tribe, language, and people

And, until He comes again, scattered is how He wants us so that we turn toward Him and not the world for strength and survival. He is our sure security and source of for everything per
John 15:

―I am t
he true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
4
Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5
I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will  bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
7
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
8
This is to my Father‘s glory, that you bear much fruit, showi
ng yourselves to  be my disciples

So many of G
od‘s covenants with us are exactly what Satan ―cons‖
us out of by beguiling, confusing, tempting and tricking. Here is what Chip Berlet, an American investigative reporter specializing in the study of  right-wing movements in the U.S., writes:
When President Bush
https://html2-f.scribdassets.com/2grpv9cku83yv8r7/images/4-752eba5860.png
 
 5 announced his new foreign policy would help build a New World Order, his phrasing surged through the Christian and secular hard right like an electric shock, since the phrase had been used to represent the dreaded collectivist One World Government for decades. Some Christians saw Bush as signaling the End Times betrayal by a world leader. Secular anticommunists saw a bold attempt to smash US sovereignty and impose a tyrannical collectivist system run by the United Nations.
Hughes, a professor of religion, warns that no religious idea has greater potential for shaping global politics in profoundly negative ways than "
the new world order"
. He writes in a February 2011 article entitled
Revelation, Revolutions, and the Tyrannical New World Order:
The crucial piece of this puzzle is the identity of the Antichrist, the tyrannical figure who both leads and inspires the new world order. [...] for many years, rapture theologians identified the Soviet Union as the Antichrist. But after Sept. 11, they became quite certain that the Antichrist was closely connected with the Arab world and the Muslim religion. This means, quite simply, that for rapture theologians, Islam stands at the heart of the tyrannical "new world order." Precisely here we discover why the idea of a "new world order" has such potential to move global politics in profoundly negative directions, for rapture theologians typically welcome war with the Islamic world
. As Bill Moyers wrote of the rapture theologians, "
A war with Islam in the Middle East is not something to be feared but welcomed
 — 
an essential conflagration on the road to redemption
.
―Further 
, rapture theologians co-opt the United States as a tool in their cosmic vision
 — 
a tool God will use to smite the Antichrist and the enemies of righteousness
‘.
This is why Tim LaHaye, co-author of the best-selling series of end-times books, could lend such strong support to the American invasion and occupation of Iraq. By virtue of that war, LaHaye believed, Iraq would become "
a focal point of end-times events.
" Even more disturbing is the fact that rapture theologians blissfully open the door to nuclear holocaust. Rapture theologians have always held that God will destroy his enemies at the end of time in the Great Battle of Armageddon. But since World War II, they have increasingly identified Armageddon with nuclear weaponry, thereby lending biblical inevitability to the prospects of nuclear annihilation. As one prophecy writer put it: "
The holocaust of atomic war would fulfill the prophecies."
The anti-globalization movement, or counter-globalization movement, is a social movement critical of the globalization of  corporate capitalism. The movement is also commonly referred to as the global justice movement, alter-globalization movement, anti-globalist movement, anti-corporate globalization movement, or movement against neoliberal globalization. Participants base their criticisms on a number of related ideas. What is shared is that participants oppose what they see as large, multi-national corporations having unregulated political power, exercised through trade agreements and deregulated financial markets. Specifically, corporations are accused of seeking to maximize profit at the expense of work safety conditions and standards, labor hiring and compensation
