Greetings,
In this update I would like to draw your attention to some interesting developments that signal some solid movement in terms of prophetic fulfillment. The specific prophecies involve the decline of power for the descendants of Joseph, and in particular, America. This, in combination with a coming powerful economic system, results in a dramatic shift in world affairs. In Revelation 18:3 it states “…the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” One application of these prophecies seems to be developing through who is going to control the Internet.
In mid March, U.S. officials announced plans to relinquish control over the administration of the Internet. For more background information go to:

One particular quote opens an interesting possibility involving the United Nations. “In advance of a meeting in 2012 to consider changes to the ITU’s international communications regulations, Russia’s Vladimir Putin explicitly stated that he wanted to achieve “international control of the Internet using the monitoring and supervisory capability” of the United Nations.”
An article in Wednesday’s (April 2) Wall Street Journal raises the idea of the possibility of the UN taking control of the Internet and the possible consequences. See full article at: http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303725404579461822619207730
The following is an overview of the UN report of 2001 mentioned in the article.
“Humanity is facing a global emergency. Extreme poverty and climate-related disasters are taking the lives of over 40,000 people every single day and severely affecting many millions of others. At the same time, dramatic cutbacks in public spending on social welfare and essential services are making it increasingly difficult for many families to meet their basic needs, even in the richest nations.
This global emergency exists largely because governments have pursued policies over many decades that undermine the ‘sharing economy’ – systems of welfare and redistribution that have been established over many generations to protect the poor and vulnerable. In particular, the international community could do much more to scale up sharing between nations in order to help developing countries meet the basic needs of their citizens and strengthen domestic systems of social protection.
Dealing with the structural causes of the global emergency will require wholesale reform of the world economy on a scale never before attempted. As an immediate response, the international community has the means to mobilize staggering amounts of finance to end poverty-related deaths and needless suffering as a foremost priority. If taken together, the policy recommendations in this report could enable governments to redistribute more than $2.8 trillion within a short number of years, money that could be used to prevent life-threatening deprivation, reverse austerity measures and mitigate the human impacts of climate change.
We already have the institutions, mechanisms and expertise in place to take this crucial first step towards world rehabilitation. What lacks is a sufficient level of public support across the world to overcome the political and commercial barriers to implementing these critical measures. Mobilizing world public opinion to strengthen and scale up the ‘global sharing economy’ must therefore be an immediate priority for campaigners and engaged citizens in all countries.”

American power and influence is in decline – and seems to be accelerating. This, coupled with the state of the global economy may very soon open new world order scenarios.
Hope you have restful and profitable Sabbath.
Warm Regards,
