The Roman Empire

In God’s eyes, Rome is signified as the legs of iron on Nebuchadnezzar’s statue. Rome enters the world’s stage on the “Day of Eleusis”, a significant day to the Jews, when Antiochus IV, the Syrian King (of the Greek Empire), was confronted by a Roman envoy, Gaius Popillius Laenas, who draws a circle in the sand around him and tells Antiochus IV not to step outside the circle until he gives Rome an answer, forcing Antiochus IV’s hand. The power of the 3rd Greek Empire fades away while Rome, the 4th Empire, steps up and becomes the next world power.

The Jews called Antiochus IV a madman during his torturous rule over them. The Torso of Bronze (above) becomes the thighs and legs of iron, symbolizing the strength of Rome. At the end of days, Rome morphs into the feet (and toes) of iron mixed with clay.

• Note: Bronze symbolizes the influence of Alexander the Great’s kingdom. After his death, it was ruled by his generals, one of whom was the King of Syria, Antiochus IV, who ruled over the Jews in the Mideast.

During Jesus’ time, Rome was ruled by the Caesars, until it became the Holy Roman Empire. The last political Holy Roman Emperor died in 2016, Otto Von Hapsburg. As of today, the titular title belongs to the Pope.

Therefore, according to scripture, we are still in the Roman Empire period (there is no “Revived Roman Empire”) with the Seven-year Tribulation on the Global horizon.

Something has emerged that no one sees, and no one notices, not even the media.

It has enormous global influence, affecting worldwide politics, and possibly, even replacing the United States as a world power. It is the “Club of Rome”.

The Club of Rome was founded in 1968 in Rome, Italy, as a nonprofit, informal organization of intellectuals and business leaders whose purpose is to discuss pressing global issues, focusing on both enhancing and saving the earth. They began by pursuing limits to human population growth affecting the planet before shifting to Global “Equity” for a Healthy Planet:

• The motives of the Club of Rome (acronym: “COR”) are admirable. The COR wants to save the earth due to man’s mismanagement: annihilation of animal species, destructive weather patterns, a polluted ocean destroying fish and marine animals, an atmosphere filled with chemicals, smog, and radioactivity, causing the destruction of the ozone layer, as well as issues of famine, terrorism, and safety.
  
  All of which sounds like a “One World Government”.
  
  No one can argue that man is indeed destroying his own planet:
  
  The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.” Revelation 11:18

• Unfortunately, the Club of Rome does not recognize that “saving the earth” involves the Creator of the Universe, nor that using their own agenda only destroys the earth even more with their non-moral and anti-God agenda. Can we ignore man’s sin nature that needs laws, consequences, and boundaries if man is going to save the earth? The “enemy of the earth” isn’t man, it’s sin.
  
• Some of the phrases they use are now appearing in American politics: “Redistribution of Wealth”, “Carbon Footprint”, and “It takes a Village to Raise a Child” (it takes the government to teach the children through the public school system). Part of their agenda is to re-socialize and re-educate children.
  
• With their “Green Agenda”, they believe man should not be able to “own” earth (property). In many countries, the house belongs to the people, but the land is owned by the government. Recently, Pope Francis issued a dictum saying that there is nothing in scripture affirming that men should be allowed to own land. On the other hand, the government IS the people, and to my mind, this makes their logic self-serving.

Anyone who is anyone belongs to this global club: the movers and shakers, politicians, rich, famous, athletic, and entertainers. And yet…you never hear about them in the news, until recently…

It is astounding that an organization so powerful, so global, and with so much influence, isn’t even mentioned in the news, although surprisingly, it did appear in one place … The cover of Independent Australian. (Shown below) with the headline “Donald Trump versus the Club of Rome”.

Quoted in this article:
The founders of the Club are: Aurelio Peccei, Alexander King, and David Rockefeller.

The Club of Rome (COR) concludes that the USA needs a presidential candidate who will fulfill the Club of Rome’s agenda.

I recently heard a TV celebrity mentioning the name of Obama, voicing that he was the man that they had been looking for, indicating he had been “selected”, not “elected”. So, what did the Club of Rome’s website indicate? It pictured the face of this President (not Trump) with the word “HOPE” in large letters headlining the picture.

Take note of the button on Obama’s lapel pin. It is the same logo as the Lucis Trust.
The Lucis Trust, formerly known as the Lucifer Publishing Company, is a nonprofit service organization incorporated in the United States in 1922 by Alice Bailey.

The goal of the Club of Rome is to divide the world into a manageable ten nations:

Zechariah 8:23

“Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘In those days ten men from every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.” ’ ”

These ten nations are not to be confused with the ten horns on the last head of the dragon.

The iron and clay on Nebuchadnezzar’s statue do not adhere to one another. If the Club of Rome is iron, then these ten nations cannot also be iron as the ten toes. Rather, the ten toes fit the description of the ten horns on the last head of the dragon. The last head is the kingdom of the Antichrist, and the feet of iron and clay are also the kingdom of the Antichrist. The ten toes of clay are Arab/Muslim nations of Edomites. The ten horns (clay) give their power to the Antichrist (iron) for one hour.

The iron would also include the Pope and the Catholic Church. Since there is a religious figure who looks like a lamb but speaks like a dragon, it makes sense that the Pope would fill the role of the False Prophet, also being part of the iron of “Rome”.
