Corporate citizenship in the world economy. Transnational Corporations exert a great deal of power in the globalized world economy. Many corporations are richer and more powerful than the states that seek to regulate them. Through mergers and acquisitions corporations have been growing very rapidly and some of the largest TNCs now have annual profits exceeding the GDPs of many low and medium income countries.
Revelation 13: 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
With the threat that Israel or the U.S. could eventually opt for a military strike against Tehran's nuclear program or even actually strike Iran's nuclear facilities could be the start of a major regional war. Should the US or Israel intervene in Syria - the results could be the same.
Israel and even the entire world are now experiencing the most critical time in history. The president of Iran, Ahmadinejad, has stated again and again that his main goal is "to remove Israel from the map of the world" and for this he is preparing nuclear weapons. The "Palestinians", never existed as a nation inside Israel are fighting against Israel and since 1948 have been an instrument of the Arab-Muslim world. Islamic-terror organizations are surrounding Israel from every side and shooting missiles and rockets into Israel. Syria is armed with biological and chemical missiles aimed at Israel. All of the Arab countries have armed themselves with modern weapons to be used against Israel in the near future. The United States is putting pressure on Israel to divide the Land of Israel and to establish a 'Palestinian State'. Years after the re-establishment of the State of Israel and after several wars with Arab-Islamic nations that wanted to destroy Israel again and again, Israel is again facing pressure from every side with step-by-step preparations of the enemies of the people of Israel to destroy the State of Israel through an apocalyptic war with nuclear weapons that were never used in the past.
In bible prophecy, Ezekiel 38 & 39 informs us of a future war and invasion of Israel by a vast coalition of nations (Russia, Iran, Libya, Ethiopia, Egypt, Turkey and Moslem Republics) that surround it. This invasion could occur at any time because of the heightened tensions over Iran's nuclear ambitions and the crisis in Syria. In regards to Iran clearly US and European powers fear that Iran is trying to develop a nuclear weapon with UN sanctions aimed at pressuring Iran to halt uranium enrichment. Since Russia has developed close ties with Iran and Syria it makes sense that they would be invading along with the Islamic confederacy.
