There are people who think they can avoid Armageddon. It's being reported Ted Turner Documentaries will be airing a four-part documentary on PBS titled,  "Avoiding Armageddon." It will be narrated by Walter Cronkite and feature current and former notable world leaders such as Bill Clinton, Kofi Annan and Mikhail Gorbachev (Read about it here). 

I guess the fact that our selfish, wicked world can't go on the way it is without destroying itself is becoming apparent. Even today's unbelieving world leaders can see the Armageddon of the new Testament book of Revelation fast approaching.

But, not wanting to go to the God who forewarned of Armageddon in the Bible for thier answers, these unbelieving leaders are instead turning against Him. In fact, some are even blaming Him for the coming Armageddon.

Their reasoning would be amusing if it weren't so dangerous for the people of God. It goes something like this: The religious people who believe in the biblical Armageddon are the ones responsible for making it happen. This is because, instead of joining in with the international gang in the UN who are attempting to find ways to prevent Armageddon from occurring, the Bible believers are interfering with their nobel cause -- the salvation of planet Earth.

You see, these world leaders don't believe in the God of the Bible. So, although they agree that Armageddon is fast approaching, they think they can find a way to avoid it. In fact, some have even formed clubs with the sole purpose of how humankind can avoid the biblical Armageddon. 

One such organization is the Club of Rome. Its members include noted leaders such as former US president Jimmy Carter and the EU's current foreign policy chief, Javier Solana. The declaration of the Spanish Chapter of the Club of Rome states:

“We, the members of the Club of Rome, are convinced that the future of humankind is not determined once and for all, and that it is possible to avoid present and foreseeable catastrophes – when they are the result of human selfishness or of mistakes made in managing world affairs.”

When you think about it, the declaration of the Club of Rome could actually be seen as a declaration of war against God and the Bible. You see, according to the Bible, the time for Armageddon and the Day of the Lord has been predetermined by God (Acts 1:7).

Never-the-less, Ted Turner has made a PBS documentary titled, "Avoiding Armageddon." This is the man who received hoots and cheers from world religious leaders when he reportedly denounced his own childhood Christian faith at the three-day United Nations Millennium Summit in September 2000.

The UN religious gathering had been organized by a group of interfaith activists, with a little help from their friends – New Age billionaire, Maurice Strong, and, of course, Ted Turner.  The stated purpose of the gathering was to find a way the world's religious leaders could contribute to the UN’s quest for world peace.

Darren Logan, a foreign policy analyst for the Washington-based Family Research Council, described Turner’s speech as “the most blasphemous thing I have ever heard in my life.”

When the clamor caused by Turner had settled down, a Declaration for World Peace had been created. It called for the establishment of an International Advisory Council of Religious and Spiritual Leaders to serve the UN in crises resolution and prevention.

What was the ultimate purpose of these spiritual and political eaders who gathered at the UN Millennium Summit?

Avoiding Armageddon.
