Using Prophecies
My husband once asked if everyone knew bascially what it said in the Bible as far as end-time prophecy is concerned. Why wouldn't they try to hide it or do something different.
I gave him a very shallow answer of "Well God knows what's going to happen...perhaps they just do!"
"What about free-will...are you saying that they don't have a choice in doing this?"
I had no answer for that...until now. This is taken from a speech Javier Solana gave:
"Rather than attempt to create a new vision, therefore, the task which presses most urgently upon us at the present time would seem to be to investigate those ancient prophecies which seem to swamp our world of modern vision, to research their origins and implications, to observe their extraordinary effects throughout history and above all to watch the successive efforts of those concerned to control and cope with the forces thus unleashed...we may finally find ourselves in a position not merely to anticipate the likely flow of future events …but actually to exercise a conscious control over those events by co-operating with, rather than opposing, the prophecies...Only then, perhaps, having, as it were, exorcised the former visions, shall we be in a position to create new visions of our own, and thus go on to create a 'new heaven and a new earth' of our own devising."
"For the wisdoms of all ages and cultures will be called upon to surrender their most precious secrets...The massed forces of the Old Age, however, will be unable to check their headlong onrush. In large measure they will go on to destroy each other in a massive, mutual venting of long pent-up aggression…" p. 237
It is not surprising to see that two United Nation’s organizations-the Alliance of Civilizations and Religions for Peace-have combined efforts to promote the concept of Shared Security"
Basically what he's saying is that they were going to use "ancient prophesies in order to further their movement in establishing the New World Order.
I am dumb-founded and amazed at how God answered that question. They..by their own free will, will fulfill what was written so many years ago. My question/statement for them would be this...
So YOU must know exactly who you are
