Is there a question in there?

You stated, "It kind of comes down to two main choices! The U.N. and all the religious leaders backing it will bring peace and security or Jehovah God will!"

You kind of remind me of the guy in the flood.

A flood threatens a town, forcing everyone to evacuate, but Joe thinks, "God will save me," and stays put.

As the waters rise, Joe's neighbor comes by and says, "Joe come with me, we've got to go."

Joe declines, "God will save me."

The waters keep rising, Joe scrambles to his second floor. A firefighter in a rowboat comes by. "Get in the boat or you'll drown," he says.

Joe again declines, saying, "God will save me."

Finally, the flood waters force Joe to his roof. A police helicopter comes by and throws down a rope. "Climb up or you'll drown," the policeman yells.

"No, God will save me," Joe replies. Soon, Joe drowns.

He arrives in heaven and challenges God, "Why didn't you help me?"

"What do you mean?" God says. "I did help. I sent a neighbor, a firefighter and a helicopter."

Jesus taught us to pray, "Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."

The people of God have been praying for and working to help the God's Kingdom come little by little for thousands of years.

The people of God are still praying for and working to help the God's Kingdom come little by little every day.

The people of God have:
+ Spread the Word of God so that it is within reach of every human being on the planet
+ Started and protected universities
+ Sponsored and supported science and medicine
+ Created International Law theory
+ Developed and sponsored modern economic theory
+ Invented charity as we know it
+ Codified, expanded, and improved Western Law
+ Developed Western Morality
+ Created just war theory
+ Sponsored and influenced art and architecture
+ Developed the concept of inalienable rights
+ Invented freedom of speech and freedom of religion
+ Eliminated most slavery in the world

About one third of the world are Christian believers.

About two thirds of the worlds are believers in the one true God of Abraham.

Every person in the world has been "Created in the image of the one God and equally endowed with rational souls, all men have the same nature and the same origin. Redeemed by the sacrifice of Christ, all are called to participate in the same divine beatitude: all therefore enjoy an equal dignity."

As Pope Benedict XVI wrote in his encyclical Caritatis in Veritate (Charity in Truth):

78. Without God man neither knows which way to go, nor even understands who he is. In the face of the enormous problems surrounding the development of peoples, which almost make us yield to discouragement, we find solace in the sayings of our Lord Jesus Christ, who teaches us: “Apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5) and then encourages us: “I am with you always, to the close of the age” (Matthew 28:20). As we contemplate the vast amount of work to be done, we are sustained by our faith that God is present alongside those who come together in his name to work for justice.

For the complete text of the encyclical, see: http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedi…

Jesus Christ will come in glory someday (maybe tomorrow and maybe in 10,000 years) but until that day comes, we need to work together in Christ for truth and justice for all human beings on the planet.

With love in Christ.
