This week's United Nations meeting will be a landmark occasion for multiple reasons.

The 80th annual session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) will open this week in New York, with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, climate, gender equality, development financing and UN reform as central themes of the meeting.

This year's event is attracting significant attention because multiple leaders have announced their intention to recognise Palestine as a state during the proceedings.

President of UNGA Annalena Baerbock said eight decades after the UN was first established in 1945, it now has a duty to look to the future.

"This is a year to adapt, to evolve and to build the United Nations we need for the next 80 years, for the lifetimes of our children. It is a moment to show eight billion people around the world why this organisation still matters."

[ED Will anything actually change? Or will it just be another talk-fest...?]

 

[CHecker]

I hope this is the beginning to the UN stepping up and getting the necessary teeth it'll need to do what the scriptures say it'll do. Im so stinking ready. 

[Alejandro]

The question is, is Jehovah ready to put it into the hearts of the governments to turn their power over to the United Nations? It’s hard to fathom that they will do this without a major catastrophe that affects multiple nations. But Jesus said at Matthew 19:26, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

I think we've discussed the thought that it's possible that no dramatic event would proceed the UN doing what it needs to, it'll all be Jehovah’s maneuvering. 

 

Please correct me Tony if I'm wrong but isn't the schedule for this meeting to start on Tuesday and runs thru next Monday the 29th? But then they have talks thru......January? Im not really savvy on politics.

It's possible they will be solving a world-wide catastrophe that isn't public knowledge when they give their power to the UN. It might look like a normal day from our perspective, with no lead-up.

[lord21]

It will be just a regular annual session, but this year they have a significant date of 80 years since the creation of the UN. Don't expect anything unusual.

 

Read my comment again, some time after this meeting and you will understand that nothing unusual happened.

[jrnievas]

What if the 10 horns in Rev. 17:16 are a literal government that is not a part/member of UN right now?

Jehovah is always in control.  But, the nations will have their reason for temporarily transferring their sovereign authority over to the UN.

 

Recall when Roman governor Cestius Gallus and 30,000 troops marched to Jerusalem to suppress the Jewish rebellion. Roman soldiers began to undermine the temple walls.

Suddenly, and for no apparent reason, Cestius Gallus withdraws his troops and retreats toward the coast.

 

The Christians recalled Jesus' words "When you catch sight of the disgusting thing standing in the holy place, then let those in Judea begin fleeing to the mountains".

So, the Christians took their cue and fled the city.  But, would you agree that Cestius Gallus must have had a reason for the sudden change of plans?  Would he move 30,000 troops toward the coast without a reason?

 

The reason for the nation's unprecedented decision may also not be apparent, such as a new world-crisis. It will be maneuvering by Jehovah.  Jehovah's "one thought" is for them to collectively empower the UN. All they need to do that is a reason that motivates them.  We expect it to be a sudden decision.

It very well could be an escalation of the Ukraine/Russia war if NATO becomes involved offensively.  But it may be something else that no one can foresee.

As humans, we always look for reason, explanation, logic behind something. 
But actually the Bible does not give any reason for nations to turn their authority to UN. They just do it because Jehovah has planted the though. 
And this can be done any time, any day regardless of political situation in the world. 
Nations are unable and failed miserably with problems in Iran, Gaza and Ukraine …. So Jehovah can act anytime.

I believe that no one can solve or stop these wars and conflicts (which might escalate in ways we never expect) unless Jehovah steps in. And when will that be? At Armageddon.

That's a rude way to call Armageddon  

[lord21]

Great global changes are coming soon in the world. Remember the years in history: 1945, 1953 and 1991. Almost such changes are coming soon.

Could you please provide an example? I find this statement contradictory. How could something be both a worldwide catastrophe and also unknown to the public at the same time? 

[Áine]

And still they speak of protecting their peace and security! 
 

Either you have it or you’re working towards it 🤷‍♀️ I’m not sure you can have both

For instance, America and much of Europe are heading towards a serious financial collapse in the next few months because of their various debts. The only thing that makes this unprecedented is there are no more countries willing to buy out that debt so they can keep going. I have not seen this topic on the mainstream news, so I assume most people are unaware of it or assume they will print more money like they always do (that won't work this time).

 

That means this news is mostly unknown to the public but will still have global consequences. If the nations decided to join the UN as a way to get rid of all the debt (just one option for why they might do it), then they would be solving a worldwide catastrophe that is largely unknown to the public - it might even give them a reason to pillage religion for their wealth. I suppose the KofS could tell the KotN that if they don't join forces then the South will fall and eventually so will the North. It could be about mutual survival.

I believe it was Br. Lett who said "The Bible doesn't give the details   .   .   but it's reasonable to conclude  .   .     .  "

 

Something like that, not an exact quote.

You are correct.  The talks will continue into next year. 

Looking back - 1945 to 2025 - what has the UN achieved in 80 years? (I'm sure they'll point to something)  Yet troubles continually manifest themselves. And some we see today are very serious, and remain unresolved.

They speak of 'Peace' - when there is no peace... Jer 6:14

I think a common knowledge groundswell can lead to something. 

Some examples: Tensions in Europe in 1914 (common knowledge)  led to an extreme result.  The shooting of Frederick led to WW 1 in just a few days.

In my lifetime. The The 'Berlin Wall' was common knowledge. Yet -  in what looked like an overnight change - people tore it down.

11 Sept 2001. Tensions (common knowledge) burst, and the World Trade Towers came down (catastrophe).

I've seen 'Glastnost' come and go...

As was said above... 'It looked like a normal day... '

The next few months? Can you put a number to that - 3,4,6, 50 months?

 

I wouldn't mind having advanced notice of the total financial collapse of the last world power. Of course, the Bible says it's still alive and well all the way through the GT to Armageddon - so I'm not sure how it can have a financial collapse and still be alive and well all the way through the Great Tribulation. I wouldn't mind an explanation on that too if possible?

Common knowledge is, by definition, the exact opposite of unknown to the public.

October 1929 has now entered the chat.

No, 1929 was a market crash not a complete collapse of the US financial system.

 

It obviously created financial hardship, bank failures, and unemployment, BUT the financial system continued to function, albeit in a severely damaged state.

 

Note: we had a more recent one at the very beginning of the pandemic in 2020, but again it was not a complete collapse of the US financial system.
