8 January 2019: During a Brussels meeting the European Union has enacted economic sanctions which are effective tomorrow against the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence, alternatively known as VAJA, and two high ranking officers in the wake of their failed attempt to execute a political assassination in Paris. In late 2018 another Iranian attack failed in Denmark.
In addition to the sanctions, which freezes all Ministry of Intelligence assets in all financial institutions of the member states of the European Union, the EU also, without debate, designated the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and its two agents as international terrorists. Their names will be released to the public tomorrow morning (09JAN19) via the EU's Official Journal.
These are the kinds of EU actions which might cause the Iranians to abrogate the 2015 nuclear deal with the EU.

| The G20 in Argentina |
5 January 2019: The existing global order recently held its annual G20 meeting in Argentina on 30 November-1 December 2018. The G20 is a group of 19 nations plus the EU (represented by the European Commission and the European Central Bank). The purpose and agenda of the G20 has expanded significantly since its inception about 20 years ago and is today a form of global governance which functions primarily as a global economic council. It's members account for 90% of the world's GNP; 80% of global trade; two-thirds of the world population and 50% of the earth's land mass.
It was the RCC's Pope Francis' view in watching a video of the G20 summit that a unique truth that he understands had to be immediately communicated to his favorite non-believer journalist for world-wide dissemination. The journalist is Eugenio Scalfani of the Italian paper La Repubblica, and the Pope demanded at about noon last Thursday that Scalfani come to the Vatican for an audience in four hours time. The interview was published by La Repubblica in Italy and then picked up for global distribution by Agence France Presse.
The urgent message Pope Francis has for the the world is that he sees dangerous alliances emerging among the world powers. He says these world powers, the US, Russia, China and North Korea, all possess a distorted view of the world. According to the Pope the solution to these nations distorted worldview is that they must be brought under direct rule by a World Government as soon as possible for their own good.

| Pope Francis |
No great surprise there, especially if you're watching even a little bit of what's going on in the world these days. Just days prior to the above demand from Pope Francis, while speaking to an assembled audience at the Vatican he also demanded that Christians must abandon the notion of their individual nation's maintaining mational sovereignty and embrace World Government in order to make the world a better place.
The Pope speaks dangerous yet prophetically-themed words. This is especially true when one considers Revelation 13. Eschatology Today assesses that the G20 could rupture at some point in the near-term future due to stresses and factures such as wars create and what emerges would be a functioning 10-nation council under one supreme head-ot-state as foretold in Revelation 13:1.
We have prophetic fulfillments approaching at every turn, in every aspect of life on this earth. If you do not yet know the Lord Jesus Christ, now is the time to answer His call at the front door of your life.
