The only question is: incompetence or design?

I think the origin of ISIS is by design. The real question is: who is the designer, and wo is the power behind the design? The finger could be pointed at the likes of Bush, Obama, Blair, Cameron, etc. but I think they are only pawns in this global game to bring the whole world under the control of a malevolent superman dictatorship. The Western 'leaders' are pawns, but I don't know whether they fully understand what they doing, or who they are assisting. Although their behaviour and words do occasionally suggest that they do know what they are doing – and where the 'world' is being taken.

The situation on Earth has to become so bad, so deadly, and so full of fear, that at some point the people will rise up, cry out and demand a superman, any superman – even if he is the devil incarnate, to cure the world's ills. And after that superman has risen to power and apparently 'fixed' the world's incurable problems, then the people will cry out “Peace and security (safety)!”; but then sudden destruction will come upon them.

I see ISIS as being one of the many tools in the hands of the designer. The bankers, and the corrupt banking system - that must eventually collapse, is another tool in the designer's hands. As is the climate change/global warming scare that is being used to create fear, uncertainty, and poverty in the hearts, minds, and lives of the people. Uncontrolled immigration and the dilution of national identities is also a powerful tool in the designer's toolbox. A perfect storm is under construction - a storm to bring order out of chaos.

Whether ISIS is the result of Western political design or incompetence, or whether it springs out of Islamic doctrine is not the real issue. The real issue is: who is ultimately orchestrating the whole of the world's problems? Who is deliberately instilling fear in the hearts of the people? Who is aiming to take over government of the world's people? Who requires the people to willingly surrender their freedom and submit to a centrally controlled global security system? Who will demand to be worshipped under fear of death?

I think the designer is the “father of lies“, the “prince of the power of the air”. We are definitely living in a time of almost constant deceit and lies from officialdom. Truth and justice have been inverted at all points of officialdom – 'insanity' is not too strong a word to describe the actions of much of what passes for officialdom: perhaps 'evil' would be a more accurate word.

If I am correct in my assessment of the current global situation then the next question is: where is all this leading: who will be the final victor? Unsurprisingly; the answer is not politically correct.

A tough question. From a human perspective, can anybody honestly see the world returning to what we all at one time would have considered to be NORMALITY?

At what time, was this world at NORALITY?

Good question! Every age has its evil, but I do think 20/21st century technology makes the kind of global malevolent dictatorship predicted in the Bible during end times possible for the first time in history.

As a non-believer I'm not sure about the blblical references but we should never underestimate Man's ability to be evil in this imperfect world of ours. Religion throughout history has so often been used as a force for evil.

It is the State of Israel that sets today's evil times against all other previous times. The State of Israel is God's time indicator.

The very existence of the State of Israel today, is fulfilment of Bible prophecy. The fact that Israel's return to the Land is the second time this has occurred in Israel's history, is fulfilment of Bible prophecy. The present threat from Israel's neighbours to “wipe Israel off the map” is direct fulfilment of Bible prophecy. The current international and united disapproval of Israel, is fulfilment of Bible prophecy. The international threat of an enforced “two State solution” to the “Palestinian problem”, is fulfilment of Bible prophecy.

Accurately fulfilled Bible prophecy over many hundreds of years is the guarantee that everything the Bible says is true, including Hell and Heaven. Unfortunately, the study of Bible prophecy is not very popular in the vast majority of 'churches' today.

There is evidence out there that strongly suggests that the puppeteers and their political puppets do have a good idea of what they are doing to us.

Quote from Nelson Strobridge "Strobe" Talbott III, a US Secretary of State for Bill Clinton saying that national sovereignty is to be a thing of the past:

And by now we should all appreciate that US policy is joined at the hip with UK policy.

Who or what is Peter Sutherland KCMG?

He is a UN poodle too:
