Interesting Times Ahead

The UN has elected a new Secretary General who will take over in 2007 - Ban Ki-moon from South Korea. This interests me in two ways:

1. He's from South Korea, so the UN may take really decisive measures against the North Korean nuclear program. You have to think that he will be much more personally interested in this event. If this happens, the UN could get a taste of what it means to exert real power with basically every nation united behind them.

2. He's also a member of a unique religious movement - Mukyokai. As you will read in the link, this movement declares that they are Christians but they don't believe in formal religious organizations. In fact, their name translates to "No-Church Christianity." They believe people should meet in smaller groups for the purpose of Bible study. Their teachers do not get paid or go through seminary. They hold down real jobs while fulfilling their Bible teaching responsibilities.

Isn't it interesting that we're starting the Revelation book again at the same time that this man is taking office?

Let me just say this...stick closely to your bookstudy. I think it will become very important.
