The following is an article I just posted on my website: I'm curious to know your reactions:

A New World Order
...and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. (Revelation 13:7)
The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon the earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. (Daniel 7:23).
The Bible makes it clear that at the end of days Satan will raise up a kingdom that will have authority over the whole earth. This should not surprise us because Jesus himself called Satan the "prince of this world" (John 12:31, John 14:30, John 16:11). A prince is someone who is about to inherit a kingdom.
For six thousand years Satan has been planning and scheming, preparing for his 42 months as the god of this world (Revelation 13:5). If we are truly living in the closing moments of the Church Age, then it would follow that the infrastructure for this global government is already being developed.
This is indeed the case. In fact, it is nearly complete.
Before we continue, it must be stated that researching the New World Order is a difficult task, for several reasons. First off, many, perhaps most of the people studying the NWO are secularists and self-described 'conspiracy theorists'. They do not approach the topic from a Biblical perspective. In this way there is much misinformation floating around - half-truths mingled with non-sense.
It is also difficult to study the one-world movement because the plot is so abhorrent and wicked that we simply do not want to believe that it is so. And even if we acknowledge that this plot is very real, it is easy to fall into the trap of feeling helpless, demoralized, and overly suspicious.
Lastly, investigating the New World Order is difficult simply because some of the conclusions drawn from the research sound utterly ridiculous. Frankly, I know that some Christians will mock me for writing this article.
All that said, let us look at some of the players involved in this global conspiracy that will bring about Satan's kingdom.
Council on Foreign Relations
The Council on Foreign Relations, established in 1921, is one of the main movers and shakers in the one world movement. John D. Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, and Paul Warburg were among the men involved in funding the Council's creation[1]. Madeleine Albright and Tom Brokaw currently serve on the Council's Board of Directors while David Rockefeller is acting Honorary Chairman[ii]. The reader may recognize some of the other elites who have served on the CFR Board: Zbigniew Brzezinski, George H.W. Bush, Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, Alan Greenspan, Jeane Kirkpatrick, and Dick Cheney[iii] to name a few.
Some other CFR members of note include Sandy Berger, Ed Bradley, Paul Bremer, David Brinkley, William Burns, the Carnegie Corporation, Jimmy Carter, Warren Christopher, Wesley Clark, Bill Clinton, Michael Dukakis, Gerald Ford, the Ford Foundation, Dick Gephardt, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Mikhail Gorbachev, IBM World Trade, Jesse Jackson, Joseph Lieberman, George McGovern, Robert McNamara, Bill Moyers, Sandra Day O'Connor, Colin Powell, Dan Rather, Condoleezza Rice, the Rockefeller Foundation, Volvo North American, Barbara Walters, Paul Wolfowitz, Bob Woodward, the Xerox Foundation, and James Zogby[iv].
Notice how the government, big media, and the military are all well-represented in this group. According to the Reece Committee, which investigated the Council on Foreign Relations, the CFR "overwhelmingly propagandizes the globalist concept[v]. The CFR is funded by some of America's most powerful and influential Corporations, tax-exempt foundations, and by the Carnegie and Rockefeller families in particular. Influential CFR members in the media establishment are instructed to keep quiet about the affairs of the Council, which explains why so few people have even heard of the CFR[vi]. The Council on Foreign Relations was intimately involved in creating the United Nations.
The United Nations
Though riddled by scandal and accusations of "irrelevance", make no mistake, the United Nations has been creating global infrastructure since its inception in 1945. Interestingly, the ground upon which the U.N. Building in New York lies was donated by none other than John D. Rockefeller Jr.. The CFR controlled information industry (education and media) has now been subtly pushing the virtues of the U.N.'s global vision for decades. High ranking U.N. officials such as Robert Muller are involved in the "New Age" movement (New Age is just a euphemism for occult). In fact, Lucis Trust, originally the Lucifer Publishing Company, had its headquarters in the U.N. Plaza until the 1980s, when it moved to Wall Street[vii]. Lucis Trust was founded by Alice Bailey, a theosophist and spirit-channeling occultist with a tenacious hostility towards Christians and Jews. Robert Muller's 'theology' was heavily influenced by Alice Baily. Currently the U.N. is using the environmental agenda and third-world debt to implement its international treaties. Information on the U.N. is readily available so let us move on.
Trilateral Commission
Created in 1973 by David Rockefeller, The Trilateral Commission, at its core, is designed to interweave the economies of the North America, Western Europe, and Japan[viii]. The Ford Foundation is said to be the commission's largest contributor[ix], and, not surprisingly, David Rockefeller served as the Commission's North American Chairman from 1977 to 1991. Among the speakers at the 2005 Annual Meeting were Dick Cheney, Henry Kissinger, Paul Wolfowitz, Alan Greenspan, and Donald Rumsfeld. Madeleine Albright, Zbigniew Brzezinski, George H.W. Bush, Lynn Cheney, Bill Clinton, Dianne Feinstein, Stanley Fischer, Dick Gephardt, Richard Haass, Henry Kissinger, Richard Perle, John D. Rockefeller IV, and Robert McNamara are all current members of the Trilateral Commission. Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz are former members. As of 2005, Comcast Corporation, JP Morgan Chase, Atlantic Media Company, Stanford University, Coca Cola, General Electric, Power Corporation of Canada, Mattel, Johns Hopkins University, the American Federation of Teachers, Harvard University, Citigroup International, the Federal Reserve Bank, The Washington Post, Dow Jones & Company, The Wall Street Journal, AOL Time Warner, Bank of America Corporation, Pfizer, Xerox Corporation, ChevronTexaco Corp., The Boeing Company, Prudential Financial Inc., Princeton University, The Carlyle Group, The Brookings Institute, New York Stock Exchange Inc., Newsweek International, Yale University, U.S. News & World Report, and the World Bank are all directly connected with the Trilateral Commission[x].
Club of Rome
Some Council on Foreign Relations members go on to also join the Club of Rome, which was formed in 1968. The Club of Rome is particularly elite, having perhaps 300 members compared to the CFR, which has around 3000 members. European Union High Representative Javier Solana is a product of the Club of Rome. The Club of Rome describes itself as a global think tank comprised of global citizens. According to Gary Kah, the Club of Rome "has been charged with the task of overseeing the regionalization and unification of the entire world[xi]". The recently approved Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) is simply an expansion of The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and provides evidence that such regionalization is not just a figment of a paranoid imagination. Last November President Bush visited South America to forge further trade agreements with Latin American countries. Media coverage of the Presidential visit consisted of protests in Argentina - protests that were obviously staged. It seems that these 'protests' were organized to draw attention away from the President's true purpose for being there. His true purpose was to promote Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA).
The Bilderbergers
The stated goal of the Bilderbergers is to regionalize Europe, specifically North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) states[xii]. The power structure of the Bilderburgers is so closely related to the Council on Foreign Relations that Gary Kah calls it a "CFR sister organization[xiii]". Based on their progress in the European Union and the Western European Union, this group has been perhaps the most successful in its regionalization endeavors. In fact, the EU is now courting further expansion into the Middle East and Northern Africa. Let us look once again at some of the elites who have attended Bilderberg meetings: John Bolton, Bill Clinton, Michael Dukakis, John Edwards, Susan Eisenhower, Gerald Ford, Henry Ford III, Donald Graham, Alan Greenspan, Richard Haass, Chuck Hagel, Alexander Haig, Henry Kissinger, William McDonough, Robert McNamara, Dan Quayle, Richard Perle, David Rockefeller, Nelson Rockefeller, Charlie Rose, Donald Rumsfeld, Margaret Thatcher, and Paul Wolfowizt[xiv].
In his 1991 State of the Union Address, President George H.W. Bush stated:
What is at stake here is more than one small country (Kuwait); it is a big idea: a New World Order, were diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind.
And also:
The world can therefore seize this opportunity to fulfill the long-held promise of a New World Order.
Ladies and Gentlemen, President Bush was not just being poetic. He knew exactly what he was saying and so did the elites in his hearing. The first Gulf War, and now the second, have paved the way for the ultimate political power grab, foretold by the ancient Hebrew prophets. I have not even scratched the surface, for this plot runs very deep. I pray that the Lord will give us wisdom as we ponder these heavy matters. For now I leave you with the words of Jesus:
When you see these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh (Luke 21:28).
