The Club of Rome's proposed map for global government

"And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name."--Revelation 13:1

Look at the map above. It was drawn up by the Club of Rome, a global think tank and a de facto affiliate of the United Nations that is actively working toward the establishment of a one-world government.

The map proposes dividing the world into 10 regions or 10 new political unions that would be governed by 10 leaders who would be under the authority of a powerful world ruler. 

Though that sounds like something out of the Apocalypse, the Club of Rome doesn't believe in prophecy and certainly didn't draw up its map according to a biblical prophetic template. Nevertheless, consider how closely the map resembles the visions of the ancient prophet Daniel (Sixth Century B.C.) and the apostle John. (First Century A.D.)

This is what Daniel saw: "After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast--terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot what was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns." (Daniel 7:7)

Daniel described a metaphorical beast that symbolized an end time global kingdom. Daniel's vision tells us that this kingdom will be powerful, violent and destructive. And the beast's 10 horns represent 10 kingdoms that will initially be governed by 10 rulers until a supreme global ruler removes three kings leaving seven remaining kings to govern the 10 political unions. (Daniel 7:24)

Now compare Daniel's vision with the vision that John received about 700 years later while he was in exile from Rome on the desolate island of Patmos. (Revelation 13:1) Later, John saw this metaphorical beast yet again, with a new twist; he saw someone riding atop this beast: "Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns." (Revelation 17:3)

Who is the mysterious woman that John saw riding atop this metaphorical beast? She represents a global religion that will become partners with this global government. But what is her identity? John revealed that her clothing is purple and scarlet (Revelation 17:4) and that she has the name Mystery Babylon stamped on her forehead. (Revelation 17:5) Furthermore, John revealed that she is located in a city that sits on seven hills. (Revelation 17:9)

There are only two cities in the world that sit on seven hills; Rio de Janeiro that is located in Brazil and Rome that is located in Italy. Rome is the world  headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church. Furthermore, the colors worn by the Roman Catholic priesthood are purple and scarlet, and the Catholic Church has historically referred to herself as Mystery Babylon. When John recorded the Revelation in about 90 A.D. the Catholic Church didn't exist and wouldn't come into existence until the Fourth Century A.D.

Is this just an amazing coincidence? Not likely. We are headed toward a world government. But a global religion headed by the Roman Catholic Church? How is that going to happen since the Catholic Church seems like a dying institution? Stay tuned.
