UN Backs First "Offensive" Peacekeeping Force for DRC

[Lin ASL Ebron]

I wonder if this leads to the UN getting teeth to destroy the Great Harlot. Interesting times we're living in...

And this has to do with the UN attacking religion how?

They won't need to "build up" to the attack on religion, Jehovah will put it in their hearts when the time is right.

The UN needs teeth, though. Right now if the UN said "Ban religion," the member nations would reply "Go jump in a lake." The UN has no power to enforce any resolutions.

Yet.

There is a step we are awaiting before the Harlot turns on religion. The UN must RULE as an 8th King. It will acquire real power at some point before the destruction of Babylon the Great.

Here's the reference from the Revelation book talking about the UN getting "Teeth"...

*** re chap. 35 p. 258 par. 21 Executing Babylon the Great ***

21 Yes, the nations will use the scarlet-colored wild beast, the United Nations, in destroying Babylon the Great. They do not act on their own initiative, for Jehovah puts it into their hearts “even to carry out their one thought by giving their kingdom to the wild beast.” When the time comes, the nations will evidently see the need to strengthen the United Nations. They will give it teeth, as it were, lending it whatever authority and power they possess so that it can turn upon false religion and fight successfully against her “until the words of God will have been accomplished.” Thus, the ancient harlot will come to her complete end. And good riddance to her!

I understand the reference now, thanks!

I am a little "over-sensitive" with the recent news articles that have been posted (like the pope's resignation). Friends seem so quick to relate them to the fall of Babylon! When we know that the idea will be "put into their hearts" by Jehovah.

But I see what what Melinda was referencing!

Your due diligence is why this is one of my favorite sites. I know a few other sites with comments from the friends, and I have come to trust that if something is posted here, you are going to check it out. Thank you. Your efforts are appreciated and help to keep me on my toes. You are an example of the elders referenced in this weekend's Watchtower.

Musky, I agree 100 percent. We all must wait how Jehovah is going to do it according to his way and not our way of thinking.

Could this be more teeth? Breaking News - Fox News:

"UN adopts pact to regulate multi-billion dollar global arms trade"...the report goes on..."The resolution adopting the landmark treaty was approved...154 to 3 with 23 abstensions"....also..."There has never been an international treaty regulating the estimated $60 billion global arms Trade". ..

I don't know how to get this URL or put it on the forum from my phone..there was more to the article!

No, not really. This "treaty" doesn't change any thing. HERE is more about the "treaty" from the source.

No teeth here. For example:

Enforcement

Each State Party shall take appropriate measures to enforce national laws and regulations that implement the provisions of this Treaty.

That is it??? - that is all there is to the ENTIRE enforcement section???? - um NOTNHING!!!

So since there isn't any penalty there really isn't any "teeth".

[trottigy]

Here is the Fox "news" article

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/04/02/un-adopts-pact-to-regulate-multibillion-dollar-global-arms-trade/

note - even THAT "news" article wrote:

It will not control the domestic use of weapons in any country, but it will require countries to establish national regulations to control arms transfers.

While a "little" misleading - as it only requires countries to establish regulations for transfers - INTERNATIONALLY ( NOT Domestically)

Still, whatever "rules" / "laws" a country makes up - that is the rules.

As we got off the original topic of "the UN getting teeth" ->

Any doubting the UN has teeth already - see this post by Jordan. He is SPOT ON.

note: while I disagree that the UN will tell the US/UK what to do - especially since they are vetoing members AND even more especially - the Bible says it is the other way around - the US/UK is the one that "exercises ALL the authority" over the UN (Rev. 13:12 & 19:20) - the UN does ALREADY have teeth - all the teeth it needs to do what it is soon going to do.

Um, so which is it? Do you believe the UN has teeth or doesn't?

Ahh- it has "all the teeth it needs to do what it is soon going to do". That is Turn on False Religion.

It does NOT have the teeth to counter what Jehovah has said will happen. Jehovah has said the US/ UK will be THE Last Super power. And He has also made it clear the the US/ UK are the ones that exercise authority over the UN (Rev 13:12) NOT the other way around.

So my reply was to "Could this be more teeth? Breaking News - Fox News" - NO, it isn't "more" teeth. It already has enough teeth.

Yes, The GT seems closer than ever!!!
