United Nations and World Peace

Video below: Sit in on what it looks like to solve
issues on a global level.

Okay.  Have you ever seen those futuristic or fantasy epic movies that are in distant lands?  They always have some kind of council where you see all of the worlds, nations gather together to talk about the war or how to solve a nation's issues?

These movies always have some council that convenes to reconcile some global situation.  Looks familiar?  With their little name cards in front of each of them.  They emulate non other than the United Nations.

Even our imaginary worlds need some kind of worldwide laws that includes the elves, the humans - coming together to convene over who was going to retrieve the ring and destroy it.

I am sure over 70 years ago when we all thought about bringing World Peace to earth we would have surely thought by the year 2000 it would have been achieved.  We have every representative of every nation convening together to reconcile their differences.

Why  has the United Nations have not been able to solve the world's problems?

The United Nations and it's members have a dream of World Peace just as you and I do.  Actually we have arrived in the time of history which is a turning point.  Humanity has a decision. Will we plant the root of World Peace or are we doomed to repeat the failures of the 20th century? A world of darkness, oppression and conflicted deep in war.


In order for many countries and people to gain independence in the last century, it was a period of endless struggles with the First and Second Wars, the Korean War and the Cold War. Then the United Nations, founded after the Second World War, had great hopes as the institution that would uphold God's will for bringing about the peaceful, ideal world.

Why UN Can't Bring World Peace

Yes, the United Nations has made important contributions for peaceful talks, but almost at 70th anniversary the UN has not yet found a way to fulfill its founding purpose. 

The member states consist of about 200 offices and all they do is represent their culture's idea and even insist upon their own interest not truly working together.  For this reason, the UN is unable to bring us a way to resolve the world conflicts and achieve peace.

To see where the worldwide conflict began we can look again at our ancestral family.

Human conflict began within the first family recorded in history, Adam and Eve.  Eve was warned what would happen if she did not follow God's word.  Instead she did not listen to God and then she spread this sin to Adam. 

This is where the history of struggle of war on many levels began.  Starting with the war within every human's individual self which has grown into wars between nations and on to the global conflict between war of materialism and Godism.

Everyone says that children are the hope of the future.  But our children are slaves to promiscuous sex, drugs and living outside parent's and God's laws.  Then there is the fact that we believe that having material possession is more important than life and family itself. 

We as humans recognize our own interest and we ignore the suffering of tens of thousands who agonize and starve everyday.  This extreme, selfish me-complex threatens our way toward prosperity and brings misery.

Can the United Nations untie the strong knot created in the first family?  Of the first brothers Cain and Abel which is repeated within our own lives and between the nations?   Can the UN solve the problem?  All humanity originated from a family that had this conflict.

 As long as the Cain-Abel relationship remains within us, peace among nations will never come.  What makes up the world?  Nations and people and families make up each nation.  As long as people fight the war between their own individual body and their own individual mind peace can not exist.

We all fight our Cain-like body in order to follow our more Abel-like mind.  We do things we wish not to do and follow an unrighteous path no matter how hard we try to go the right way.  This is repeated on the global level. 

So we are living in a time when a more Abel-type of United Nation will set our path according to God's will.


Abel-type United Nations

The Abel-type UN will accomplish on a world level restoration of the relationship of the brother (nation against nation) which failed when Cain killed his brother instead of working with him to restore Adam and Eve. 

The Abel-type UN will work alongside the Cain-type United Nations representing a new sovereignty of world peace.  This relationship of a UN going toward God's ideal world that he had at the time of Creation will build the ideal world where God can settle and rule over humanity once again.

Why the UN can not accomplish World Peace

Take a look at the hitory of the United Nation, in some conflicts it would withdraw its forces before the mission was completed.  The best example is the Korean War.  The Abel-UN will create a peace police force and peace military that will keep peace and order in the coming World of Peace.  Now, humanity is still trapped beneath division, our own little interest and concerns and remnants from past conflicts and hates.

The Abel UN will be developed as a new international peace organization.  At the same time the United Nations will be reformed.  This reformation will include a peace council, a legislative organization which consist of global religious leaders that carry the same rank as members of the current UN Security Council.  This Peace Council will not speak for just one particular nation's ideal, but it will turly work for the welfare and peace of humanity from an inter-religious and world-wide perspective. 

Peace Through God's Instituion


God has longed for an institution and a person who wold resolve these tragedies, but no person appeared on earth. 

What organization can give hope now for eternal world peace?

Okay, imagine two enemy families that has battled together all through history repeating this war through their descendants.  These families cursed each other bitterly and would never dream of crossing paths. 

What happens if these families were joined together through their children intermarrying?  If a son from one family, and the daughter of the enemy family were to marry and share a happy home with their blessed children woud the members from each clan curse the children? In time, the two lineages once soaked with hate and hostility for past wrongs would reconcile.

The method of cross-cultural marriage will empower Whites and Black, Jews and Muslims, Orientals and Westerners and all enemy nations to live as one human family.  The organization of marriage was created by God. 

The ideal family is where we live and learn to become one through love.  With a foundation of love and respect betwen husband, wife and between siblings will establish a peaceful tradition of ideal families.  This type of way will bind the world together as one village.  It will tear down the man-made walls of race, culture religion and country and turn into the kingdom of a peaceful, ideal world that has been God's desire since He created His children.

The United States and Russia can become as one. The European Union, China, India, Japan, Brazil, and all nations, and also the world's religions, can combine their resources to make this project succeed.

With people and families living in this way, it will be a way where people no longer make war on each other.  You might not think this is possible, but where there is God's Will, there is a way.

Our Mission

So, living this way is a choice and knowing this information is a warning.  Will humanity join the Returned Messiah who erases these walls and leads us back to God, or will we fatefully choose to repeat history of conflict and continue to hate our global brothers and sisters? 

Humanity is held captive behind the walls of religion, the walls of nationality, race and culture.  These walls don't exist, borders don't exist, they are just a trick of Satan's ideal. 

Are we going to continue to spend our time on earth living in agony and regret repeating our ancestor's failures or will we take responsibility and set this evil world straight and establish a new heaven, a new earth a new culture and a peaceful ideal world.

I hope that we will put on new "true-love armor" in this new age, and be wise and brave activists in the Univeral Peace Kingdom Corps, for the sake of humanity's future.

Awaited Last Days Brings World Peace

The term "Last Days" originated with Christianity, but a similar concept exists in many religions. Let us think about how the Last Days will occur.

The world which the absolute God plans should be eternal. Once it starts, it must continue eternally. We must imagine that the reason the Last Days are needed in the world which God created is not because God planned for them in the origin of creation, but because of the human fall. The cause of the Last Days is the fact that evil began and goodness could not continue.

Adam and Eve, who were created by a God of goodness, lived in the Garden of Eden, which was also good. If Adam and Eve had not fallen, goodness would have continued eternally. However, because of the fall, goodness ended before it could start and take root.


Satan Stole God's Position and Children

You must understand that even though human beings were created to believe in God's words, our first human ancestors disbelieved, causing death to occur in this world. Another master appeared, who seduced Adam and Eve into disbelieving God's Word and disobeying His commandment.
Because Adam and Eve did not believe God's Word and were seduced by this master, Satan became the lord of this world. Fallen Adam and Eve became the objects of Satan and we lost our gift to become master of God's creation.

As a result of their disbelief, there began a world of destruction and death, which has no relationship to God.

Why did man and woman fall?

They fell because of satanic love.

Then what is satanic or "fallen" love?

It is self-centered love, which separates individuals rather than uniting them.

What, then, would be the nature of the Last Days?

It is the time when all people think of their individual love as absolute. The world's Last Days will occur centering on fallen, impure love. In other words, in the Last Days, individualistic love will be thought of as perfect and absolute. Love for the nation, society and family will be denied, and self-centered love will be approved. Instead of a love based on morality and ethics, animal-like carnal love will be rampant in our world.


Fallen Satanice Love, Not True God-Centered Love

Today, impure love has reached the stage in which neither parents, the nation, nor the world can stop the corrupt sexual acts of young people and solve these problems.

God cannot leave this world as it is. We must make goodness begin once again by restoring this world.

When would the Last Days come?

The phenomena of the Last Days occur when a heavenly person appears to cleanse the world by restoring to goodness the individual, family, clan, tribe, nation and world. In other words, the Last Days occur when a central person appears with the power to eliminate all evil, to remove all the conditions for Satan's accusation, and to transcend to a world of goodness.

The time when we overcome on an individual level is the individual Last Days, when we overcome on the family level is the family-level Last Days and so on up to the world-level Last Days.

Historically, our ancestors came and went. Those who tried to fulfill their responsibility based on God's will always met with failure. Therefore, God made a promise that He would send a world-level representative who would be victorious representing the individual, family, tribe, nation and world and who would appear before Satan with a dignified power.

That one person is indeed the Messiah.

The Lord will come when the evil world, which existed from the beginning of history, is ready to change into a world of goodness. Therefore, the Last Days means the end of one age and the beginning of a new age.

If the literal sun, moon and earth -- which God created -- are destroyed in the Last Days, it would be destruction by Satan, meaning God would have failed.

---

The Last Days will occur, and people without the spiritual eyes to see will not know the time of their visitation. When your watch strikes twelve o'clock, yesterday ends and today starts. But is there anyone who perceives at midnight that "from this instant it is a new day"?

I don't think so, but this does not mean that the time ending the previous day did not arrive.

It is difficult to perceive clearly the end of one day and the start of the next. Soon, autumn will be over and winter will come. However, autumn will end and winter will come without anyone knowing. Is there any elder, even once in his lifetime, recognized clearly the moment the season changed from autumn to winter?

Without our knowing, winter comes, and then spring. However, this does not mean that there is not an end point, or no division between seasons.

You must know that when Adam and Eve fell, they still did not have a clear purpose which allowed them to decide what is good and what is wrong. They also did not yet have the power of dominion or the ability to make the right decisions. The fall occurred when Adam and Eve turned left when they should have turned right. Adam and Eve fell in the midst of confusion, not yet knowing all the facts.
Then when are the Last Days?

When is The Last Days?

The time is now.

This is because it is written in the Bible that when the Last Days come, the world will be divided into sheep and goats. The sheep are the people following the Lord, and the goats are those who are not.

What is the nature of the Last Days? It is the time when everything is so chaotic and confused that people cannot tell the difference between day and night or truth and falsehood. When we look at the world today, we cannot tell whether the people who believe in Jesus are good or those who do not believe in Jesus are good. Sometimes, those people who do not believe in Jesus can be better.

When we compare the communist world and the democratic world, the communist world seems to be externally more dignified and practical than the democratic world. This ideology seems to be able to bring about a peaceful society from the external point of view. 

We have entered an age in which we cannot clearly distinguish what is better from what is worse. You should know that this heralds the Last Days. It is said that history repeats itself . We are entering the age in which we will reap what we have sown.

Why has Satan brought humankind down to this state of corruption? It is because God has been carrying out his providence centered upon love for the whole. In order to hinder God's providence, Satan has no way but to pull man and woman in the opposite direction, and pull them as far away from God's path as possible.

What is Satan's greatest goal?

It is to destroy human love completely. Conversely, God is trying to lead humanity to the original world of love.

Those of you who feel the anxiety of these Last Days, anxious for the coming of the Lord can pray for understanding of this time and direction leading them toward God.

Also, be assured that God did not abandoned us to war one another for eternity and he absolutely will carry out his ideal of creation, which is a dream for world peace.  It is up to humanity to practice their free will which equals to 5% responsibility to choose to go toward a world of goodness.  Therefore, it is up to humanity when this will take place.

Notes:

How Will World Peace Look?

We Are The World shook the earth in the 80s uniting every mega singer of its time to lend their powerful voices to feed children in Africa.  Americans remember Hands Across America and we tried to Save The Whales.  The Reagan years - ah so peaceful.

Yet, hunger still exist.

If human beings had not fallen in the Garden of Eden and followed and believed God's word to not eat, one global family would have formed from our first human ancestors.  We would share a common language and be able to communicate with anyone in the world.

Worldwide Language

Instead as people populated the world several languages arose that kept people of other lands from freely communicating with one another.  When humanity severed direct communication and a TRUE relationship with God, several languages came from descendant's of Noah who built the Tower of Babel.  Before that Noah's descendants all shared a common language.

We all stem from a common ancestor yet we cannot truly share our deepest feelings with one another because we speak different languages.

The idea world composes of one global family who share a common language which unifies all the languages.  The language will come from where the language the Messiah speaks.

By speaking one language, all humanity will establish one global nation under God.

Human Relations

If the world to come is inevitable then that means God prepares us for it.  He has always guided humanity back to the original idea He had during creation.  This answers:

Why does history repeat itself?

Because human history is the history of providential restoration.  In a sense, everything that went wrong, is made right and is repeated until restoration is completed.  No one ever gets a degree if they fail their classes, they have to repeat that class - same material over and over and over sometimes with a different teacher until they pass.  War has repeated until evil is eradicated completely from the earth then a new history begins.

How Will Humans Interact?

Humans will be taught based on a higher ideology that unites the world's religions, cultures and nations.  This ideology will lead humans back to their original positions they forfeited by following Lucifer lower will who said do eat, Eve, follow my words.

Jesus was not supposed to be the only True Son of God.  He had a much higher purpose. 

People fell so far that we look up to the angels and nature as higher than humanity.  Jesus was the first to become a true person who completed the purpose God had in mind when he created humans.  since we fell we could not fully understand the Will and Heart of God, we need a mediator.  The mediator gave a higher truth then Moses's Ten Commandments.  He gave us the New Testament word and when as the Messiah returns, he gives us the Completed Testament through a higher ideology.

In order to enjoy world peace, each human must restore themselves to the position before the fall, and follow the course to completely separate from Satan as the Messiah does.  Then we will be restored, like the Messiah, back to our original purpose God created us to have.  A person of this stature, such as Jesus, will put others first before themselves.

Imagine a world where people treat each other as true brothers and sisters - a world full of Jesus's.  If someone falls in love with his brother's wife, he will not entice her away from him because he puts the brother's tortured heart over his own. 

A person that wants revenge on someone who took their wife will not murder them because they understand how their mother, God and others will be deeply devastated.  And so on and so on. 

Laws no matter how strict are going to continuously be broken because desires of the heart even if they are based on false love, are stronger than principles - no matter how strong the punishment.  This is why the strongest men of faith were willing to give up everything and go to hookers, or cheat on their wives based solely on emotions.  In a peaceful world where you live for the other, this desire may arise, but one will think more of the other's feelings.

In a world that lives by the higher truth the Messiah brings, they will live for others as their own brothers and sisters.  That means your teacher, your boss, your next door neighbor, the person in the pew you will treat them wholeheartedly as brother and sister.

A world full of people like this and you will be able to leave the doors unlocked, because people will not harm their brother.  People won't go hungry, because they rather feed others in need before themselves.  You will be able to travel anywhere and knock on any door and they will give you a place to stay for the night.

Mothers will be less stressed when they need to do errands with the children tagging along because they will trust their next door neighborhood to watch the little ones for awhile because living for others, people take action to help more those who are distressed.

But don't confuse caring for others as free handouts as the recipient just takes.   World full of peace will not have a system of just giving to people freely to solve the problem.  Isn't that what is happening now?  No matter how much food is given, or programs to solve problems it gets worse. 

This is the problem with welfare systems.

Social System

Today's Europe  and America's runaway social welfare system will collapse the country.  History has shown that free stuff has a price.  FDR said 100 years ago that welfare is a narcotic.

Let's put it into the context of the Garden of Eden.  There are four entities in the Garden of Eden.  Adam, Eve, Lucifer and God.  Lucifer is an angel whose purpose was to serve God's children and raise and teach them in God's ways.  Okay.

Government is supposed to be the servant of the people. Back in the 1800s government played only a small role over people's lives.  Now, our government has the most control since our nation's birth. 
Through history this is how Government controlled its people instead of serving it.

1. Tyranny- 100% control over all property and people
2. Socialism - 70% control and equally distributes wealth/poverty
3. Social Welfare - 50% control over people, wealth and property


Through popularism, the servant government has transferred from government to dominating the people.

What happened in the Garden of Eden?  The servant tempted Eve away from God and Adam - the Fall of Man.  Government repeats this on a Societal level.  Instead of serving the true interest of the people, it seduces them away from God and family.  Saying "listen to me instead, I will solve all your problems."  Isn't that what all the dictators told the working classes?

1. It seduces women with "free-health care".  Welfare encourages that mothers stay single(divorce) to receive benefits. The more children one has the more rewards they receive no matter how many different men they must bed to have these children (morals).

2. They hire mostly men who make the laws.

God is excluded from every part of society from school and so on. 

The servant Government unrightfully dominates God's children and becomes master.  Ladies, free stuff comes at a price and one eventually lose their freedom and become slave to the master.

Do you pay taxes on stuff you bought and own?  Why pay tax on money you made only to pay it again when you spend that money on property, on your house, land and car when it is yours?  That's the government telling you do not truly own it.  So who owns what you continue to pay for?  Well, all that free stuff Welfare is giving comes at what price?

It has been proven that when public schools are given more government money the test scores decline by 27%.

Self-Regulating Society = World Peace

Humanity needs to take the middle man out of their lives.  Heaven on Earth will be full of citizens who do not need laws to tell them what NOT to do.  Government will control 5% or less of society.

A world of peace will be governed by the people and will need minimal governmental interference except for small things, for instance to register private property.  There will be freedom in the marketplace.

In other words, the peaceful world will have self-regulation, self-business ex.  It will be a society without law and based on freedom and free will.

People ask how will we regulate criminals and the such?

Good question.  Answer it in the next post: World Peace Police, World Peace Military.



When Will We See a Free Society?

World Peace is going to happen, that's God's mandate.  When is up to every person.  Even if war and hunger end, the past still exists and will need to be restore.  It is said to take 10 generations to clear a wrong path in every direction.

We do not know the exact second when night turns into day, but I truly believe that in one million years, the world will not be destroyed and it will not be the hell it is for good people who want to do good anymore.  Satan will be conquered.

It might be tomorrow.  Unfortunately, God was good enough to place all the power in our hands and trust us to choose the right paths.  Even God can not go outside His own laws and finish this last task for us.  Restoration of the world is going to take work.  Work that all people of faith daily work to build.
