Great Reset: European conspiracy or a convergence of humanism or both?

The “great reset” has been in the news a lot since the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) executive chairman Klaus Schwab brought it up last June.

Many organizations have long supported something like it. Before getting to some of them, notice that even the real estate industry is expected to be involved:

February 5, 2021

On Thursday, February 18, Brookings’s Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Center for Transformative Placemaking will host an event focused on The Great Real Estate Reset, examining the forces that pushed the industry toward this moment and the tactics to address it. Representative Dan Kildee (D-Mich.) will open the program with keynote remarks, followed by a panel of local leaders discussing practice and policies the real estate industry and the public sector must adopt to successfully meet the moment. https://www.brookings.edu/events/the-great-real-estate-reset-rethinking-how-and-what-we-build/

Anyway, the above is showing more interest in the USA for openly promoting the ‘great reset’ concept.

Now, notice the following:

‘Great Reset’ Plan Parallels Some of Pope’s Initiatives — But There’s a Crucial Difference

Like the plan’s promoters, the Holy Father also believes the global economy needs to be reshaped coming out of the pandemic …

February 4, 2021

VATICAN CITY — Since it first came to public attention in June 2020, much discussion has surrounded the “Great Reset” — a global vision pushed by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and supported by various world leaders to rebuild a society after COVID based on greater solidarity and a more sustainable economy.

Prominent backers include President Joe Biden, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Britain’s Prince Charles. Each see it as a blueprint for “resetting capitalism,” a chance to “build back better” after the global pandemic, and to set the world on a more environmentally friendly and sustainable path for which there is “no alternative.”

But many others have criticized the Great Reset’s ambitions, including Brazil’s minister of foreign affairs, Ernesto Araujo, who outright rejected it, saying that “totalitarian social control is not the remedy for any crisis,” and the progressive author Naomi Klein, who is concerned it creates an “insidious” and “false impression” that global elites are serious about tackling the issues the Global Reset raises. In the Church, Cardinal Raymond Burke has called it a manipulative attack on freedom and the family.

More generally, critics see it as a flawed and dangerous agenda that paves the way for an autocratic global future more closely resembling the communist-capitalist system of an increasingly dominant China. …

To achieve that new social contract, the Great Reset’s architects argue that the world “must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions.”

Schwab himself sees the predominant Western-based economic system, heavily laden with enormous debt estimated to be $277 trillion, as “not fit anymore for the 21st century” and in need of reform. The world, he believes, is entering what he calls a “Fourth Industrial Revolution” — a new era of paradigm change driven by technological breakthroughs such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing and robotics — and needs to adapt accordingly.  …

Overlaps With Pope Francis’ Approach

The theme of a “great reset” is not exclusive to the World Economic Forum. Others have called for some form of communitarian reset of values and institutions, including Pope Francis, who sees the pandemic as exposing capitalism’s flaws.

Having overseen his own hotly debated reset of the Church over the past eight years, the Pope has begun a number of initiatives along some of the same lines as Schwab.

He has frequently expressed a wish for the world to take the opportunity to emerge better from the COVID crisis, including through his October 2020 social encyclical Fratelli Tutti (which the WEF read as proposing a reset similar to its own), his “Economy of Francesco” initiative in Assisi in November that proposed a “new economy” of “communal wealth,” his U.N.-affiliated Global Compact for Education initiative, or the Vatican’s collaboration with Mission 4.7, a U.N.-backed project that, like the Global Compact, aims to educate the world in sustainable lifestyles, gender equality and a culture of peace and nonviolence.

Also relevant to his vision for resetting the world’s socioeconomic systems is Francis’ new interview book with papal biographer Austen Ivereigh. Called Let Us Dream: The Path to a Better Future, an excerpt of which was published in The New York Times, Francis’ vision overlaps substantially with the Great Reset. “For me it’s clear,” Francis writes. “We must redesign the economy so that it can offer every person access to a dignified existence while protecting and regenerating the natural world.”  …

As for the notion that the Great Reset is about establishing a new world order controlled by the elites, Cardinal Turkson blamed such theories on internet sites and a conspiracy theory that “used to be attributed to the Illuminati” — a Bavarian secret society founded in 1776 and similar to the Freemasons.

Cristin also preferred not to speak of a “plot,” only a “struggle for power” to build a “new world order.” But if such a new order ever comes to fruition, “it will be a further contribution to global chaos,” he predicted. https://www.ncregister.com/news/great-reset-plan-parallels-some-of-pope-s-initiatives-but-there-s-a-crucial-difference

As it turns out, the Freemasons have pushed for many of the same items that Pope Francis has pushed for, especially in the realm of interfaith acceptance and cooperation. As have many other organizations. They do NOT believe in the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, but a humanistic solution–which is NOT a solution to the problems facing humankind.

The true “crucial difference” that the above article missed related to the Vatican and the great reset is that an ‘antipope’ (the final Antichrist) will embrace even more of the great reset agenda, push for Europe to be reorganized, and by part of the betrayal of the Church of Rome according to the Bible (see Revelation 17:12-18).

That being said, some Roman Catholic leaders do see the reality that ideas like the great reset can lead to totalitarianism:

February 4, 2021

Cardinal Müller expressed sympathy for those sounding the alarm about the Great Reset and recalled that totalitarian systems “have always denigrated any criticism as conspiracy and subversion.”

The many warnings of totalitarian rule in the 20th century “can hardly be discredited as conspiracy theories, since real political developments have proven them right,” the German cardinal said. “Blind trust in the philanthropic attitude of the leaders of the Big Foundations and Open Societies is only possible with a completely naive denial of reality.” https://www.ncregister.com/news/great-reset-plan-parallels-some-of-pope-s-initiatives-but-there-s-a-crucial-difference

That being said, many Roman Catholics, Protestants, and others are pushing for the type of ecumenical and interfaith unity that the United Nations and the WEF want.

For example, notice something that Ecumenical News reported:

February 4, 2021

The international Focolare Movement that promotes unity and universal kinship has a new president for the next six years — Margaret Karram — an Arab Catholic, born 1962 in Haifa, Israel.

Karram is an expert in interreligious dialogue and will be the third president of Focolare for a six-year term.

Focolare was founded by Italian teacher Chiara Lubich in 1943 and aims to build “a more united world in which people value and respect diversity.

“We are inspired by Jesus’ prayer to the Father, ‘May they all be one,'” (John’s gospel. 17:21), says the movement on its website. …

The election on Jan. 31 has been approved by the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Laity, Family and Life, in accordance with the Movement’s Statutes, Catholic News Service reported. …

The interim World Council of Churches general secretary Rev. Ioan Sauca sent a congratulatory message to Karram on her election.

CHRISTIAN, JEWISH, MUSLIM DIALOGUE

“Your commitment to promoting the dialogue between Christians, Jews, and Muslims as well as your engagement in a sustained dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians are inspiring assets for the worldwide Movement of Focolare and beyond.

“With your vast academic, ecumenical and interreligious experience I trust that you will become a bridge-builder and an ambassador of the central message and spirituality of the Focolare.” …

While Focolare is the common moniker given to this organization, its official name when approved in 1990 as an International Association of the Faithful of Pontifical Right, was “Work of Mary”, https://www.ecumenicalnews.com/article/israeli-born-margaret-karram-elected-president-of-focolare-movement/60830.htm

So, Focolare is a Marian movement within the Roman Catholic Church to promote an ecumenical and interfaith agenda, which is also praised by the World Council of Churches (which basically represents many of the Protestant and Eastern Orthodox churches).

As far as Focolare’s Margaret Karram supposedly be inspired by Jesus’ prayer to be one, it should be pointed out that Jesus was NOT referring to the acceptance of all religions as equal. Speaking to a Samaritan woman, Jesus said:

22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. (John 4:22-24)

Jesus also said to the Pharisees:

8 “These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
9 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ (Matthew 15:8-9)

So, no, Jesus did not consider all religions equal or one with He and the Father.

Those pushing for a great reset “did not like to retain God in their knowledge,” therefore “God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them” (Romans 1:28-32).

This is why we are seeing agendas like the ‘great reset’ and that of the LGBTQ+ crowd.

Is this a conspiracy?

Isaiah wrote:

12 Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’
Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy,
Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled. (Isaiah 8:12)

What is going on with the ‘great reset’ and interfaith movements is not so much a hidden conspiracy–as it is out in the open–but essentially the result of humanism that is influenced by Satan for those who do not truly believe the Bible.

Religious leaders do not believe the Bible?

That is sadly often the case.

If they did they would not be pushing an interfaith agenda and a humanistic one world government.

Notice something that the Apostle Paul wrote:

14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
“I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.”
17 Therefore, “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” (2 Corinthians 6:14-17)

Real Christians are NOT to support the interfaith plans.

They will lead to 666 and totalitarian control (cf. Revelation 13) and the final mystery Babylon the Great (Revelation 17).

In addition to having support from the Vatican, Freemasons, World Council of Churches, United Nations, government leaders, etc., the WEF’s great reset is also inclusive of aspects of the LGBTQ+ agenda.

Speaking of that, the LGBTQ+ crowd has also supported the interfaith agenda and vice versa. Related to some of that, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:

15:05 
Deutsche Welle reported “LGBT conversion therapy: Religious leaders call for ban to ‘abhorrent’ practice.” 370 religious leaders around the world have declared their support for the LGBTQ+ agenda. They declare their support of the view of the World Health Organization that it is normal to not be cisgender heterosexual. They bemoan “that certain religious teachings have often, throughout the ages” (like those of the Bible) have “caused … offense to those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex.” The Global Interfaith Commission on LGBT+ Lives wants people to tell their religious leaders to sign a supportive “Global Declaration.’ Yet, this is in conflict with scripture. In this video, Dr. Thiel quotes scriptures from the Holy Bible that clearly oppose and condemn homosexuality, lesbianism, transgenderism, and male effeminacy. God is not the author of confusion. Dr. Thiel also quotes passages in the Bible where God warns what will happen to those who despise His statutes, abhors God’s judgments, so that you do not perform all His commandments. Dr. Thiel also points to the totalitarian system the interfaith agenda is moving towards.

Here is a link to the video: Interfaith movement pushing LGBTQ+ agenda.

Regarding the Freemasons, the Continuing Church of God put out the following sermon on its ContinuingCOG channel:


1:16:04

What is Freemasonry? How long has it been around? Does Freemasonry point to cataclysms, such as Armageddon in 2022? Were many US founders and presidents Freemasons? Is there a difference between the USA/UK Freemasons and those in continental Europe? Can a biblical Christian be a Freemason? Are Roman Catholics allowed to be Freemasons? Do the Freemasons have a plan that includes an ecumenical Pope? Are Rotarians Freemasons? What about the Illuminati? Are many conspiracies about the Freemasons false? Could Freemasonry play a role in the rise of Europe and the destruction of the Church of Seven Hills?

Here is a link to the sermon: Freemasonry, Armageddon, and Rome.

Satan despises God and His people.

Yes Satan has a plan (see Satan’s Plan).

He has been pushing an anti-biblical, anti-family, and anti-Kingdom of God agenda.

Satan, if you will, is the chief conspirator as he has been behind the scenes. Notice that Paul confirmed that when he wrote of “the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience” (Ephesians 2:2).

By rejecting the truth, human organizations have endorsed and pushed Satan’s agenda.

The type of reset Satan wants is NOT the coming Kingdom of God, but the reign of the Beast and the Antichrist.

As far as the ‘great reset’ goes, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:

20:21

Is the end coming in 2021? Jesus’ disciples specifically asked Him how to know when this would happen (Matthew 24:3)–and He responded with details (Matthew 24:4-22). Sadly, many overlook what Jesus taught, but instead try to point to other things. Is it possible for the Great Tribulation to start in 2021 or before 2024? What about the so-called Big Reset and the so-called Great Reset. The World Economic Forum has posted, “The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development sets out a 17 Global Goals (SDGs) to facilitate equal, sustainable and inclusive growth across the world, while promoting peace. … The platform seeks to form 4IR technology partnership … There is an urgent need for global stakeholders to cooperate in simultaneously managing the direct consequences of the COVID-19 crisis. To improve the state of the world, the World Economic Forum is starting The Great Reset initiative.” What are the main points of that according to Klaus Schwab? Will that happen in 2021? Did Glenn Beck warn against the Great Reset? What about property ownership changes? Will artificial intelligence and other 4IR technologies lead to the peaceful world that the United Nations is promoting for 2030 or instead to a totalitarian rule? Dr. Thiel answers these questions and more as he points to the return of Jesus and the establishment of the Kingdom of God.

Here is a link to the video: 2021: The Great Tribulation or the Great Reset?

After the coming ‘Beast reset,’ Jesus will eliminate the Beast power and establish the millennial Kingdom of God.

This will be a time of abundance and prosperity.

Pray for the Kingdom of God to come (Matthew 6:10).

Yet, expect troubles and tribulation during this decade (Mark 13:8-20)–and a world heading towards an anti-biblical reset.

UPDATE 02/07/21: We just put together the following related video:

19:51

Will there be a “Great Reset”?

The theme of the World Economic Forum’s 2021 meeting was the “great reset.” What is the great reset that Klaus Schwab wrote about in his June 2020 book, ‘COVID-19: The Great Reset’? World leaders such as Joe Biden, Justin Trudeau, Angela Merkel, Prince Charles, and Pope Francis have pushed for it. But leaders such as Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller, Vladimir Putin, and Jason Kenny have opposed it? Is it a conspiracy? Could the Freemasons, Vatican, and World Council of Churches be endorsing it? Is a great reset prophesied in the Bible? Should you support the humanitarian reset world leaders and academics are pushing? Could a major reset come after the start of the ride of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse and the sorrows that Jesus spoke of? Is this related to the rise of the Beast and the Antichrist? Will a reset last 3 1/2 years, 42 months? What did Jesus say about the Kingdom of God? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more in this video.
