The United Nations has placed a giant statue for ‘international peace’ in New York that resembles an end-times "beast" from Revelation 13 or Daniel 7. We don’t see the UN as the beast, but we do see them as corrupt and incompetent and of course, pagan. The statue is thus rather fitting.
Many critics on social media are saying the statue appears to be the likeness of the "beast" the Prophet Daniel wrote about in the Old Testament and the Apostle John wrote about in the Book of Revelation. It’s similar but not exact.
Daniel chapter 7:2-4 describes the beast with the body of a lion and wings of an eagle:
Daniel spake and said, "I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings."
The Apostle John described a beast with similar features in the New Testament passage in Revelation 13:2.
"And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority."
Another Bible verse that's evoked by this U.N. statue to "peace and security" comes straight out of an End Times warning from 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3:
"For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. While they are saying, 'Peace and safety!' then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape."
Writing for The Economic Collapse blog, commentator Michael Snyder observed that the statue "looks like something out of a science fiction movie," not resembling any known creature on this planet. You can see a video of the statue here.
"Did they really think that they could put this up without anyone noticing?" Snyder asked. "And just by coincidence, it has been painted in LGBTQ colors."
Two responses come to mind,
It’s creepy. And evil looking. And pagan.
Speaking of creepy, I’m surprised that the UN didn’t erect a statue to Greta or Zuckerberg. That may be next.
