Why do we need to "Keep On The Watch" for this organization. Deep and careful examination of the scriptures reveal that this political entity is slated to fulfill a critical bible prophesy in the near future. We know that in the past God has used political entities to fulfill bible prophesy, Babylon was used to serve judgment on the wayward Israelites, and when their punishment was over, he used the Medes & Persians to liberate them from captivity in a most amazing way. And again he used the Romans under Generals Gallus and Titus to fulfill Jesus prophetic words about Jerusalem's destruction in the 1st century, because the Israelites had rejected his son. There are other instances as well, enabling us to see a clear pattern here. God has used nations as tools to fulfill his purposes. They are not blessed or favored by him in any way, yet they get a special role in history that is unique to God's purpose. Very soon he will do it again, in a shocking and surprising manner to the entire world, and once again he will use a political entity.
This time it will be the UNITED NATIONS. The following chapter is the basis for this discussion.
Revelation 17 (New Living Translation)
The Great Prostitute & the Scarlet Beast
1 One of the seven angels who had poured out the seven bowls came over and spoke to me. “Come with me,” he said, “and I will show you the judgment that is going to come on the great prostitute, who rules over many waters. 2 The kings of the world have committed adultery with her, and the people who belong to this world have been made drunk by the wine of her immorality.”
3 So the angel took me in the Spirit into the wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that had seven heads and ten horns, and blasphemies against God were written all over it. 4 The woman wore purple and scarlet clothing and beautiful jewelry made of gold and precious gems and pearls. In her hand she held a gold goblet full of obscenities and the impurities of her immorality. 5 A mysterious name was written on her forehead: “Babylon the Great, Mother of All Prostitutes and Obscenities in the World.” 6 I could see that she was drunk—drunk with the blood of God’s holy people who were witnesses for Jesus. I stared at her in complete amazement.
7 “Why are you so amazed?” the angel asked. “I will tell you the mystery of this woman and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns on which she sits. 8 The beast you saw was once alive but isn’t now. And yet he will soon come up out of the bottomless pit and go to eternal destruction. And the people who belong to this world, whose names were not written in the Book of Life before the world was made, will be amazed at the reappearance of this beast who had died.
9 “This calls for a mind with understanding: The seven heads of the beast represent the seven hills where the woman rules. They also represent seven kings. 10 Five kings have already fallen, the sixth now reigns, and the seventh is yet to come, but his reign will be brief.
11 “The scarlet beast that was, but is no longer, is the eighth king. He is like the other seven, and he, too, is headed for destruction. 12 The ten horns of the beast are ten kings who have not yet risen to power. They will be appointed to their kingdoms for one brief moment to reign with the beast. 13 They will all agree to give him their power and authority. 14 Together they will go to war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will defeat them because he is Lord of all lords and King of all kings. And his called and chosen and faithful ones will be with him.”
15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters where the prostitute is ruling represent masses of people of every nation and language. 16 The scarlet beast and his ten horns all hate the prostitute. They will strip her naked, eat her flesh, and burn her remains with fire. 17 For God has put a plan into their minds, a plan that will carry out his purposes. They will agree to give their authority to the scarlet beast, and so the words of God will be fulfilled. 18 And this woman you saw in your vision represents the great city that rules over the kings of the world.”
This is describing the United Nations as the eighth and final king of human history it is represented as a scarlet beast. Notice in verse eight it says the beast went away and then came back, that is talking about the United Nation predecessor the now defunct League of Nations, that died as WW2 got underway, made a "reappearance" from it's death after WW2 as the newly created United Nations. I am not going to spend any time on how we get to this, as that's not really what this post is about. Rather what is the UN doing as an eighth King. Granted throughout it's history it has seemed weak, but it has fielded armies in Korea, and other hot spots with varying degrees of success and failure. However it's success is largely dependent on the support it gets from its member nations.
"Hymn to the United Nations"
Words for the United Nations unofficial international anthem or Hymn played when troops deploy or return from foreign lands on assignment, soldiers salute the UN flag, like they would their own country.
Eagerly, musician.
Sweep your string,
So we may sing.
Elated, optative,
Our several voices
Interblending,
Playfully contending,
Not interfering
But co-inhering,
For all within
The cincture
of the sound,
Is holy ground
Where all are brothers,
None faceless Others,
Let mortals beware
Of words, for
With words we lie,
Can say peace
When we mean war,
Foul thought speak- fair
And promise falsely,
But song is true:
Let music for peace
Be the paradigm,
For peace means to change
At the right time,
as the World-Clock
Goes Tick- and Tock.
So may the story
Of our human city
Presently move
Like music, when
Begotten notes
New notes beget
Making the flowing
Of time a growing
Till what it could be,
It is an eighth king and world power in many ways by stealth. It functions the way any national government would

Riding atop of the scarlet beast or UN is the prostitute/woman or "Babylon the Great" this is organized religion that is not acceptable to God because they opposed or killed "God's holy people" and they are accountable to him for that. In the end God's puts a plan into the scarlet beast head to turn on her, eat her and burn her dead remains with fire. Annihilating that entity for good.
Interfaith & Spiritual promotion at the UN
Given that this will happen in the very near future the obvious question is how? All nations would have to give up a measure of their sovereignty to do this. And give it to the UN? The truth is the conspiracy theorist are not far off the mark when they talk about a planned New World Order. (NWO) It is a type of NWO via the United Nations that pulls this off. Some people especially Americans strongly oppose the UN because they see their sovereignty being taken away by this organization and those that support it. The events of 9/11 enable all plans to proceed in an accelerated way. It doesn't matter what the true reality of 9/11 is, only the accomplishments that came out of it, and how it is perceived by the world in general. These comments were found in the Calgary Herald on Thursday October 18, 2001. (Sorry no link, I only have the hard copy)
UN Trying To Promote One-World Religion (Editoral)
Last week at the Untied Nations, the United Religious Initiative blamed the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on - are you ready? - religion. Not Terrorists. Not a radical political ideology. Not a megalomaniacal secular corruption of Islam. Not even Islam itself But religion as such. All religions.
"There's a lot of terror and violence in a lot of scripture", said URI founder and Episcopal Bishop William E. Swing(who's still holding on to his day job)"We have to hold religions' feet to the fire for the violence and terror within them." Charged another URI delegate."The whole problem is religion- the whole concept of religion requires conformity. Truth is different for every individual" Yet another "All religions have fanatical elements and we must delete those elements from their scriptures..." Note: the URI's reaction to the worlds religious diversity is not "live and let live." It's global administration."....The URI is NGO arm of the UN International advisory council of Religious and Spirtual leaders. Last year the advisory council's world peace summit funded by billionaire globalist Ted Turner ratified the pantheist Earth Charter...And like any true believers, what the URI proposes is not a "faith" but simple "rationality", the UN rationality...Their premise is the necessity of global administration. And their purpose -- under their administration -- is liberation, from religion."
And then there is this report.
Insight magazine reported on October 2, 2000: Bawa Jain, secretary-general of the Millennium Peace Summit, says he thinks all religions and spiritualists, as well as assorted witch doctors, sha-mans and medicine men, draw their wisdom from the same source. But he applauds efforts to outlaw proselytizing since it matters little whether one worships a downed World War II airplane with a cargo cult, is a snake-handling Baptist or a Roman Catholic. That view has been met with strict opposition from the Vatican and mainline Protestants, who oppose the notion that all religions are equal. As host of the U.N.'s Millennium Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders, Jain told an international meeting of 1,000 delegates that religions need to accept the validity of all beliefs to attain world peace. The summit, the first of its kind to be sponsored by the United Nations, was held in New York City Aug. 28-31 just before political leaders gathered for the U.N. Millennium Assembly. The timing was perfect, says Jain, as it allowed religious leaders to update their political counterparts on how to usher in the peace of the new world order through religious universalism. According to Francis Cardinal Arinze, president for interreligious dialogue at the Vatican and a speaker at the summit, the Catholic Church also would favor one religion in the world - if it were Roman Catholicism. Assorted grand muftis and other true believers hold the same view, again so long as it is their faith that is universally recognized. That each is out to convert the world is to be expected, so the proposed ban on proselytizing is surprising.... So what is the objective here? Is it religious tolerance, unification or subversion of religious faith? Jain tells Insight that he looks forward to a day when religious people no longer insist on a single truth. And the URI, in which Jain is active and which was one of the partners for the summit, takes it even further. URI president Swing says, "There will have to be a godly cease-fire, a temporary truce where the absolute exclusive claims of each [religion] will be honored but an agreed-upon neutrality will be exercised in terms of proselytizing, condemning, murdering or dominating. These will not be tolerated in the United Religions zone."

And it gets even more bizarre the URI is on the council of the United Nations "Spiritual Caucus"
http://www.spiritualcaucusun.org/
& http://www.spiritualcaucusun.org/links.html
Under this sub-heading-GLOBAL & UN PEACE ORGANIZATIONS
Have look at the massive list of interfaith support groups here, and these track back to some peculiar belief structures.
They also meet in the UN's "Mediation Room"
http://www.un.org/depts/dhl/dag/meditationroom.htm
This is said about this room
But the stone in the middle of the room has more to tell us. We may see it as an altar, empty not because there is no God, not because it is an altar to an unknown god, but because it is dedicated to the God whom man worships under many names and in many forms.
Another organization that is linked with this Spiritual Caucus is

The Spiritual History Of the Untied Nations
By now you are wondering what all this means, in the past without this information that is so readily available on the Internet, we had no idea how this was going to all go down.
And really we still don't, however it now seems probable the plans are in place by both the UN and it's supporting NGO's that support managing a "United Religions" interfaith spirituality for people, it would be the spiritual equivalent to the political nations version of the UN. Think about it as an unwanted aggressive hostile takeover, not wanted by those being taken over. Sometimes when a big company buys another in a sneaky and aggressive manner it then basically destroys that company and it breaks it down, and sells it off, and it no longer exists.
So the Eighth King and scarlet beast would have
Political-United Nations
Spiritual-United Religions
This would equal a NWO of things with total control
Now some people want to stop this because they see this forming up and it is very bad to them.
Word to the wise, you can't, nobody can stop bible prophesy. It is a "disgusting thing", "appalling sacrilege" and an "abomination" for people to have their religion and beliefs controlled by the UN, they would be, from the religious leaders perspective be standing in THEIR "Holy Place" or "Holy Ground"(it's in their Hymn), this is brought out in the bible.
As Matthew 24:15 brings out in multiple bibles.
GOD'S WORD Translation
"The prophet Daniel said that the disgusting thing that will cause destruction will stand in the holy place. When you see this (let the reader take note),
(Amplified Bible)So when you see the appalling sacrilege [the abomination that astonishes and makes desolate], spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the Holy Place--let the reader take notice and ponder and consider and heed [this]
(New Living Translation)15 “The day is coming when you will see what Daniel the prophet spoke about—the sacrilegious object that causes desecration standing in the Holy Place.” (Reader, pay attention!)
NWT)15 “Therefore, when YOU catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place, (let the reader use discernment,)
We are asked to use our discernment and pay attention to this event, that is why it's so important to Keep on The Watch!
Often we only understand prophesy better after something actually happens, but we are certainly able to see something developing here by stealth. For literally billions of people this event will come as total surprise and shock, if you have read this post and clicked the links provided, you now know the truth of what is coming, and how it might come about.
The Obama Variable update/backdate
The most important speech Barack Obama gave on faith came before he launched his presidential campaign. On June 26, 2006, he spoke at Jim Wallis's Call to Renewal conference, laying out a critique not only of the Religious Right but of the secular left. He argued that while Democrats should support separation of church and state, they needed to be more welcoming of believers and the proper role of faith in the public square.
Of note from this speech
"And I speak with some experience on this matter. I was not raised in a particularly religious household, as undoubtedly many in the audience were. My father, who returned to Kenya when I was just two, was born Muslim but as an adult became an atheist. My mother, whose parents were non-practicing Baptists and Methodists, was probably one of the most spiritual and kindest people I've ever known, but grew up with a healthy skepticism of organized religion herself. As a consequence, so did I."
