Mr. Brown made his remarks as part of his announcement for a $1.1 Trillion economic rescue package to aid a sagging global economy and boost investor confidence.
The fact that Mr. Brown used this term in his speech before the gathered members of the summit should come as no surprise to anyone. Gordon Brown is very fond of the concept of a New World Order and has used the term on many public occassions such as, January 19th 2007, May 18th 2007, November 11, 2008, January 25th 2009, and so on, and so on, and so on. In fact Gordon Brown has become a veritible broken record and a bore on the subject.
If today there is a super-secret clique out there, with covert members, cryptic handshakes and decoder rings, trying to unify the world, they can count their cover long since blown because Gordon Brown just won't shut up about it. And when you really think about it, given the scope and breadth of communications that brings all of us closer than ever before, coupled with a secular world view that man's greatest hope is himself, where else do you think such a path will lead? For the secular-humanist, a unified world represents Valhalla itself. A veritible worker's/dreamer's paradise right here on planet earth. When earth and your five senses is all you believe in, and you think there is only sky above, where else could you possibly go with an earth-bound tenet?
That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which it may be said, “ See, this is new”? It has already been in ancient times before us. wrote Solomon (Ecclesiastes 1:9-10). A world view where man posits himself as the culmination of everything that is good and possible was predicted a very long time ago. Do not let your heart be troubled in these times, because despite what you read in the headlines today, God is in control. Recognize that these things that you see happening around the world must occur as predicted before the true Messiah returns.The world is in the birth pangs of anticipation as the old world system is replaced with the governance that will rest upon the shoulders of the Messiah as predicted in Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Unlike His first arrival in the world when He came as a helpless babe; at His next arrival, (And I believe it is soon) He will come as King and Lord to destroy those who seek to usurp Him and His authority. He shall judge the nations with righteousness and mercy and establish His government upon the earth. 2000 years ago, He lived a perfect life before God and man and bore the sins of the world, was crucified, died, and was buried. He went into the depths of Hell itself where He freed the captives and rose again on the Third Day. Forty days after his Resurrection, he appeared to his disciples and to witnesses chosen beforehand by God. On the fortieth day He gathered his followers together, telling them not to leave Jerusalem but wait for the Holy Spirit to be sent by God. He Ascended into Heaven where He sits at the right hand of God and when He returns the whole world shall see it. As He says in Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
The world cannot be saved by politicians, stimulus packages, and climate change resolutions. This world only contains the problems, Jesus provides the answers to the world's problems. If Dear friend, you are not sure where you stand with God, you do not know Him or His genuine Peace that passes all understanding; call upon his name, pray this prayer, and invite His Son Jesus Christ to live and reign in your heart as King, and Savior, and Lord.
Heavenly Father I acknowledge that I am a Sinner. I have broken your laws and my deeds have separated me from knowing You. I am truly sorry for my sins and turn away from those sins. Help me each day to follow you. I believe that Jesus Chirst is your only Son. I believe that He died and shed His blood for me on the cross and rose again. I believe He is Alive today and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to be the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Cleanse me and forgive me, as I forgive those who have sinned against me. Lord God, send your Holy Spirit to live in me and guide me as I follow You each day. I thank you for the free gift of Salvation through Your Son Jesus Christ. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
If you have prayed that prayer, you are a new member of God's family. Welcome! You are a new creation in Christ!
As a new believer, find a church where you can enjoy fellowship with other believers. Pray for God's direction as you look for your new church home. Pray and spend time in the word of God. If you don't have a Bible, get one at your local Christian bookstore. Allow yourself to have a quiet time each day with God as you spend some time with Him. Even five to fifteen minutes each day will deepen your walk and intimacy with Him. Tell someone you know and trust about your new found faith in Jesus. Once you have settled in a church home, get baptized as commanded and exemplified by Christ.
And most of all, God Bless you.
Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)
For 'whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.' Romans 10:13
