The United Nations, the Council on Foreign Relations and Seventh-day Adventists? Who Is Behind It All?

Editorial | Advent Messenger
  
A few weeks ago Seventh-day Adventist President Ted Wilson met with United Nation Secretary-General Ban Key-moon. This news was reported world-wide through different Seventh-day Adventist media outlets. However, what went completely ignored through the different reports that were circulated was the other fellow in the picture – Joseph Verner Reed, a banker and a member of the infamous Council on Foreign Relations.

Here we see the General Conference President Ted Wilson flirting with not one but two front organizations that are being used by Rome to reestablish her world domination and governance. Prophecy definitely describes a powerful, elite, globalist agenda that is conspiring to rule the world through an authoritarian world government that will control the corporations and bankers [merchants] and diminish the sovereignty of the nations [kings of the earth]. Even though there are many groups who are working to establish this New World Order, God identifies who is working behind the scenes to bring about the culmination of Satan’s masterpiece of deception during the final scenes of earth’s history. Let’s see who is responsible. The Bible speaks very clear on this topic.

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her [Rome’s] fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies (Revelation 18:3).

And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast [Rome]. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast (Revelation 17:12, 13).

Here we see Rome as the chief architect in the end-time scenario while the corporations, bankers, politicians, and governments fulfill only a passive or subservient role. In fact, the entire world which includes every religious, economic, social, and political power—with the exception of the Remnant Church of Revelation 12:17—will all eventually bow down and worship the beast and receive her mark. This is Rome ultimate objective. But there is another important component that makes up the New World Order. Notice who they are:

And all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? (Revelation 13:3, 4).

The word “saying” comes from the Greek word lego which means “to speak out.” This is describing those who are proclaiming a world-wide message declaring “Who is like unto the Beast?” This is very similar to a work that is being fulfilled in Revelation 14.

Saying [lego] with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him (Revelation 14:7).

And there followed another angel, saying [lego] Babylon is fallen (Revelation 14:8).

And the third angel followed them, saying [lego] with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God (Revelation 14:9).

We know from Revelation 14 that the Three Angels’ Messages is a world wide proclamation through every and all media in these last days which includes preaching, Bible studies, radio, television, newspapers, billboards, books, DVDs, CDs, publications, evangelism, and foreign missions.

So it is very possible that Revelation 13:3, 4 is also describing the work of the mainstream media, the journalists, the reporters, radio and TV commentators, editors, and publishers who are being manipulated to propagate the Papal’s New World Order agenda of “Who is like unto the beast” to all the world.

What is the Council on Foreign Relations?

The Council of Foreign Relations [CFR] is a 4,900-member organization of the most prominent leaders in foreign policy which include “top government officials, renowned scholars, business executives, acclaimed journalists, prominent lawyers, and distinguished nonprofit [religious] professionals.”

Top elite journalists, bankers, educators, government officials, business executives, and religious leaders are working together internationally to shape public policy world-wide. They are helping to create the ideology that will establish the Papal New World Order. This is exactly what is described in Bible prophecy.

If Ted Wilson has pledged to working with Ban key-moon and if Ban Key-moon has pledged to work with Pope Francis then does this mean they are all working on the same team? 

The United Nations, the Council on Foreign Relations and other organizations are working to create a global village by designing policies that undermine the national sovereignty of individual states. They pressure countries to change their laws to reflect the global socialist attitudes on climate change, population control [abortion], gender neutrality, economic equality [socialism], pro-gay, pro-lesbian, pro-bisexual, pro-transgender and every other anti-family, anti-freedom, anti-Biblical principle found in our US Constitution. These organizations are part of Rome’s plan to destroy the Protestant principles of America and establish a tyrannical, global political entity that will one day force the world to accept the mark of the beast. This is what is portrayed in Bible Prophecy.

What is Seventh-day Adventist President Ted Wilson doing with these men who are doing the bidding of Rome? Is he one of them or is he one of us? Maybe it’s time that someone ask him, “Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?” (Joshua 5:13). Ted Wilson told Ban Key-moon that he would assist the UN in their global mission of helping people:

“It was a real privilege to meet the secretary-general and to hear his appeal for assistance for humanity,” Wilson told the Adventist Review. “We focused on certain things that the Adventist Church can help with, such as religious liberty, freedom of conscience, ethical and spiritual values, respect for human dignity, family guidance, encouragement for young people, and basic human necessities like pure water and fundamental education.”

Is Ted Wilson peddling the social politicking of the global elite or is he exposing the Papal New World Order and the coming mark of the beast? What is our mission and message to the world; to preach the UN’s message or to preach the Three Angels’ Message? Even though it appears that the public policies of the UN and the CFR sound good on the surface, we know that it will result in the slavery and bondage of the entire world under the rule of Rome. It will also result in the marginalization and persecution of God’s faithful people who refuse to worship the beast or give homage to its image. This new attitude of working with these powerful organization is a departure from the experience of the early church:

They [church] dared not tolerate errors fatal to their own souls, and set an example which would imperil the faith of their children and children’s children. To secure peace and unity they were ready to make any concession consistent with fidelity to God; but they felt that even peace would be too dearly purchased at the sacrifice of principle. If unity could be secured only by the compromise of truth and righteousness, then let there be difference, and even war (Great Controversy, 45).

So if Rome’s puppets offering peace, economical sustainability, or basic human necessities like clean drinking water at the expense of truth, we are told that we cannot work with them under any circumstances.

The fact that a movement to establish error is connected with a work which is in itself good, is not an argument in favor of the error. We may disguise poison by mingling it with wholesome food, but we do not change its nature. On the contrary, it is rendered more dangerous, as it is more likely to be taken unawares. It is one of Satan’s devices to combine with falsehood just enough truth to give it plausibility. The leaders of the Sunday movement may advocate reforms which the people need, principles which are in harmony with the Bible, yet while there is with these a requirement which is contrary to God’s law, his servants cannot unite with them. Nothing can justify them in setting aside the commandments of God for the precepts of men (Great Controversy, 587-588).

If we are proclaiming the everlasting gospel of Jesus and if we desire to belong to Him, then we should also be following His example and keep away from those organizations who are daily imbibing new errors.

I was shown the necessity of those who believe that we are having the last message of mercy, being separate from those who are daily imbibing new errors (Early Writings, 124).

The government under which Jesus lived was corrupt and oppressive; on every hand were crying abuses,–extortion, intolerance, and grinding cruelty. Yet the Savior attempted no civil reforms. He attacked no national abuses, nor condemned the national enemies. He did not interfere with the authority or administration of those in power. He who was our example kept aloof from earthly governments. Not because He was indifferent to the woes of men, but because the remedy did not lie in merely human and external measures. To be efficient, the cure must reach men individually, and must regenerate the heart. Not by the decisions of courts or councils or legislative assemblies, not by the patronage of worldly great men, is the kingdom of Christ established, but by the implanting of Christ’s nature in humanity through the work of the Holy Spirit. (Desire of Ages, 509).
