United Nations Is Banning Religion Worldwide?
Okay so in 1 Thessalonian 5:3 it said "Whenever it is that they are saying: “Peace and security!” then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them just as the pang of distress upon a pregnant woman; and they will by no means escape." SO THIS IS TELLING US THE BAN OF RELIGION IS VERY NEAR, THIS PROPHECY HAS ALREADY COME TRUE!
in Revelation 17:16 it said "And the ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire." don't state an opinion on this without reading the whole bible!
the ten horns = ten world kingdoms throughout time but not all ten are yet fulfilled.
wild beast = world rulers.
harlot = Babylon The Great (false religion)
The UN is the 9th horn or ninth kingdom and the league of nations was the 8th and gods kingdom is the 10th.
so the world turns against false religion and rips her into shreds!
anyway this question is about the UN banning religion and anybody got any statics?
thanks for your answers! :-D
PS, AND I KNOW ITS AGAINST UN POLICIES TO BAN RELIGION HOWEVER THEY CAN ALWAYS CHANGE.
RELIGION CAUSES ALLOT OF PROBLEMS IN OUR WORLD AND ISN'T TO UN AIMING FOR WORLD PEACE?
THEY HAVE JUST BANNED THE HIJAB IN FRANCE WHICH CONFLICTS AGAINST THE HUMAN RIGHTS LAW.

"Here is where the intelligence that has wisdom comes in: The seven heads mean seven mountains, where the woman sits on top. 10 And there are seven kings: five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet arrived, but when he does arrive he must remain a short while. 11 And the wild beast that was but is not, it is also itself an eighth [king], but springs from the seven, and it goes off into destruction."
~ Revelation 17:9-11
It is absolutely BEYOND awesome that there exists a book that actually has history WRITTEN IN ADVANCE within it!
‘Impossible!,’ some say.
Yet, there IS a book that really did tell history in advance—HUNDREDS, sometimes even THOUSANDS of years BEFORE the events occurred!
That book is... the Bible, no other book (religious or otherwise) ANYWHERE on planet earth is capable of doing this.
No imperfect human being of their own originality has the ability to actually ACCURATELY fortell the future before it happens and get it right 100% each and everytime WITHOUT FAIL.
I'm talking about ACCURATELY fortelling actual HISTORY IN ADVANCE (before it happens)... NO IMPERFECT HUMAN can do this.
But yet, the Bible DOES just that! That reason alone is ONE of the main reasons (if not THE main reason) why I KNOW (not simply just believe) that the Bible IS DEFINITELY the holy book from God THE Almighty and what is written within it is DEFINITELY NOT from the source of ancient imperfect humans.
The Bible not only reported ancient events WITH ACCURACY but in a most amazing way it even foretold the major outline of WORLD HISTORY as it would affect God’s people, from the time of ancient Babylon, more than 2,500 years ago, down to and even BEYOND our present day!
Daniel, a prophet who lived in the sixth century before our Common Era, was given four separate revelations that dealt with the future of world history. Where did he get his information? Said Daniel himself at Daniel 2:28... and I quote:
“There exists a GOD in the heavens who is a Revealer of SECRETS.” ~Daniel 2:28
That and what follows in what I am posting is how I KNOW that individuals such as Atheists are absolutely beyond the shadow of any doubt 100% WRONG in their belief that God does not exist... unless of course they can somehow justify that imperfect human beings DO have the ability to accurately foretell HISTORY IN ADVANCE and get in spot on, dead center CORRECT 100% each and every time they do so. Yet, the Bible (which WAS written by imperfect humans) does this.
Archaeologists, uncovering the remains left by ancient world powers, have found astounding proof of the truthfulness both of the HISTORY and of the PROPHECY found in the Bible.
Two of the great world powers of Biblical history, Egypt and Assyria, existed long BEFORE Daniel’s time. Babylon WAS RULING in Daniel’s day, and the names of the SUCCEEDING TWO world powers were revealed to the prophet (Daniel 2:47, 48; 8:20, 21).
Two OTHERS would follow these, bringing us up to our present time in which we now live.
According to the Bible, how many of such world powers would there be? The answer was given to the aged apostle John and shows EXACTLY where we are in the stream of time from God's standpoint. An angel told John at Revelation 17:10... and I quote:
“There are SEVEN kings: FIVE have fallen, ONE is, THE OTHER has not yet arrived.”
~Revelation 17:10
What FIVE world powers had already come and gone by the apostle John’s day?
#1) Egypt
#2) Assyria
#3) Babylon
#4) Medo-Persia
#5) Greece.
Which one STILL EXISTED during the apostle's John's time when he wrote the Revelation he received?
Rome (#6).
Which power had “not yet arrived”? The Anglo-American World Power of our day (Brittain & The United States of America).
These are the world powers with which God’s people, ancient and modern, have been primarily concerned.
An especially important FACT is this: There was to be a SUCCESSION of ONLY SEVEN such world powers! A contemporaneous EIGHTH power, which would include remnants of the seven, was foretold to exist for a short time during the days of the seventh (Revelation 17:10, 11).
The United Nations (formerly known as The League of Nations), IS this EIGHTH king/power.
This means that we are NOW living during the time of THE LAST of the great world powers ruled by imperfect man. There will be NO MORE!
Soon now, the world powers of imperfect man will have had their day. Daniel prophesied at Daniel 2:35 that these human systems will be CRUSHED and ‘carried away by the wind’.
What will replace them?
Something far better!!! Daniel reports at Daniel 2:44... and I quote:
“In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. . . . It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite”. Times indefinite means FOREVER.
So nothing less than GOD'S HEAVENLY KINGDOM will REPLACE these imperfect human world powers. What a magnificent improvement in world rulership!!!
Now then, picture this scene of Revelation 17:1-4. A disgusting harlot is sitting on the back of a fearsome beast. The beast has seven heads and ten horns. Whom does the harlot represent? What is recorded in Revelation says that she exerts INFLUENCE “over the kings of the earth” (aka political powers). What is recorded in Revelation also says that she dresses in purple, uses incense, and is exceedingly wealthy. In addition, what is recorded in Revelation also says that by means of her SPIRITISTIC PRACTICE, ‘all the nations are misled’ (Revelation 17:18; 18:12, 13, 23).
The Bible helps us to see that this harlot IS a worldwide RELIGIOUS entity. Contrary to popular belief, she depicts, not any ONE religion, but ALL religions that produce ROTTEN fruit. In otherwords, she represents the worldwide religious empire entity of FALSE religion which is not of and or originates from the One true Almighty God whose personal name according to Psalm 83:18 is... JEHOVAH (http://tinyurl.com/27qrodn ).
The beast that the harlot rides pictures the world’s political powers (Revelation 17:10-13). False religion straddles the back of this political beast, attempting to INFLUENCE its decisions and to control its direction... which is EXACTLY what religion does.
Soon, though, an amazing event WILL take place. According to Revelation 17:16 the apostle John was told... and I quote:
“The ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire.”
In a sudden, shocking move, the world’s political powers (which will be under the authority of the EIGHTH king, aka the United Nations) will turn on false religion and completely destroy her!
What will prompt this action? The Bible book of Revelation answers at Revelation 17:17:
“GOD put it into their hearts to carry out HIS thought.”
~ Revelation 17:17
Yeppers, JEHOVAH GOD ALMIGHTY is very soon about to call false religion to account for ALL the despicable acts of crimes against humanity she has committed in his name. In a stroke of perfect justice, God will use her political paramours as his instrument of execution, in the same way he did with the ancient city of Babylon itself.
What must people in our day do if they DO NOT WANT to share the fate of what is about to soon happen with false religion? “GET OUT OF HER, my people,” urges God’s messenger at Revelation 18:4!
Now is the time for people to flee from false religion! GET OUT OF HER!!! But to where can people flee? DEFINITELY NOT into Atheism, since its future is also bleak according to 2 Thessalonians 1:6-9.
The ONLY haven is within TRUE religion. How sincere people identify true religion? The following 100% Bible based article provides THE answer:
{HOW TO FIND THE TRUE RELIGION}
Carefully read it with a copy of ANY Bible... it IS LITERALLY a matter of life and death people... SERIOUSLY, you are being warned.
When these things that are destined to occur actually SOON COME ABOUT, all of you people who think what has been stated here is utter nonsense and or who don't take this as SERIOUS as it really is, won't be able to claim that you weren't given WARNING well in advance.
**Mindy lowers and slowly shakes her head from side to side at the person/people who in their ignorance give whats being relayed a "thumbs down"**
Your destruction by God's wrath will be on YOUR OWN heads:
"Watch out! Don’t let your hearts be dulled by carousing and drunkenness, and by the worries of this life. Don’t let that day catch you unaware, 35 like a trap. For that day will come upon EVERYONE LIVING ON EARTH. 36 Keep alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong enough TO ESCAPE these coming HORRORS and stand before the Son of Man.”
~ Luke 21:34-36 (New Living Translation)

Right.
That's why the U.N has been so great at stopping genocide worldwide since it's first days.
They can't even get the countries together to help eradicate malaria let alone people like Saddam Hussein.
Just blame it on religion to push an anti- God and America message to the rest of the world.
Religion also needs to understand that self preservation of the society at whole is more important the religious rights in today's world of terrorism.
Look at how Islam terrorist have no problem with Hijab wearing woman suicidal bombers anymore.

Not only debated but drafted and now in proclamation form. It will come to pass only after Jehovah God puts the way how in their minds. This will be the start of the Great Tribulation, the destruction of Babylon the Great, the worldwide empire of false religion.

The 10 horns stand for 10 Kings
The 7 headed wild beast stands for world government, Egypt,Assyria,Babylon, Medea-Persia, Greece,Rome, and the seventh head=Britain/America.
In Daniel's prophecy he says the 8th springs(grows) from the 7th, this is the UN, it is also called a disgusting thing that stands where it ought not because it claims to do something that only God by means of his Kingdom ruled by Christ can do, that's bring world peace and security.
This disgusting thing first stood where it ought not in 1919 when the League of Nations was formed, this is the start of Daniels prophecy of the beast that is(League of Nation form in 1919), then is not(League of Nations dissolved when WW2 broke out), then is again(After WW2 the United Nations was form by the same governments that formed the League of Nations, same agenda with a different name), Daniels prophecy says this beast goes off into destruction and will never be again for it will be God's Kingdom that rules from then on.
You are right about that false religion causes allot of problems and according to Bible prophecy this beast(United Nations) will devastate the harlot Babylon the Great thr empire of false reigion.
Those that are alive when this happens we see the start of Armageddon because the destruction of false religion starts this great battle between God along with his Son Jesus Christ and Satan's seed, this world of wickedness and worldly governments.
Rev 7:9 shows that there will be survivors that have washed their robes in the blood of Christ(symbolic for cleaning their lives up) that stand before the throne of God(symbolic for being approved to survive this great battle).

The way religions are behaving right now, that is not a bad idea. Religions are man made. The God of the Bible does not care for any organized religion. Look at the Islamic Nations. Their sacred(?) books say that they are permitted to be deceptive and to stab people on the back just for the advancement of Islam. What benevolent god or a god that love his own creation does that. Not my God. The God of Abraham, Jacob and Jesus would not do that. He has allowed the fight and the destruction of pagan nations in the past but after Jesus He has said that vengeance is His. The command to destroy the pagan nations back them was necessary because of the promised He had made to Israel. But what promise has the God of Abraham, Jacob and Jesus made to the muslims? NONE! They just want to destroy because their devilish book say they are to be superior. Well their book is wrong and their retribution by God (nonetheless) will be devastating to them and their flag. And yes they do promote violence against the Christian nations and they hypocritically deny it. They want us all dead or to join them. They will not tolerate any less. America you better start educating yourself about this murderous and devilish sect. The Bible says that the majority of the earth population will be destroyed because they will follow them, they are a false religion.

We are seconds away from the Great Tribulation. Most people will be shocked and frightened. Not Jehovah's people. This is when we hold our heads erect because our deliverance is near. To those who say it won't or can't happen, read the bible. God puts it into the governments hearts to turn on false religion. Also someone said it must be hard for us to live in fear? We don't live in fear, just the opposite, NO FEAR!! We can't wait for these things to take place.

Jehovah will bring an end to this system in his due time. And yes bible prophecy will come true. Jehovah will put it in there hearts , and I mean the government to go against religion. Look at the signs, it is starting to happen slowly but sure to come. Our deliverance is near!

When the Tribulation happens what if the people left behind have no clue the Tribulation has happened. What's to say God wouldn't erase our memories of those not taken away. What if it already happened and we all have been left behind and just don't know it.
Source(s): It hasn't happened. Otherwise done very good saintly people I know would not be here. - Suzette RLv 61 decade ago
It will happen, we know that the proclamation has been written up, they just don't know how to do it....yet. As soon as Jehovah puts it into their hearts how, it will be done. That will be the end of Babylon The Great, the worldwide empire of false religion in one fell swoop. It will get very interesting very quickly.
Rev. 18:7 To the extent that she glorified herself and lived in shameless luxury, to that extent give her torment and mourning. For in her heart she keeps saying, ‘I sit a queen, and I am no widow, and I shall never see mourning.’ 8 That is why in one day her plagues will come, death and mourning and famine, and she will be completely burned with fire, because Jehovah God, who judged her, is strong.
9 “And the kings of the earth who committed fornication with her and lived in shameless luxury will weep and beat themselves in grief over her, when they look at the smoke from the burning of her, 10 while they stand at a distance because of their fear of her torment and say, ‘Too bad, too bad, you great city, Babylon you strong city, because in one hour your judgment has arrived!’
