The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 405
Again and again, the Communist leader and his hand-picked “council of
the wise” or “global brain trust” told the assembly of more than 1000 guests and
participants that a new set of inclusive universal values must replace the
Judeo-Christian world view. “The wisdom distilled by all faiths” must
determine the values needed to guide the world into the 21st Century. That
means that familiar terms must be redefined to fit the new global perspective --
and the old beliefs and political systems must be abandoned. Poverty and
oppression must be eradicated, and a new kind of equality must be established.
To broaden his base, Gorbachev linked his futurist visions to the world's
timeless traditions. As in our new schools, all earth-centered or universalist
religions fit the global model -- except biblical monotheism (belief in the
biblical God). No wonder the religious leaders invited to address the Forum
taught pantheism (all is god since one cosmic force connects all things),
universalism (all paths lead to the same ultimate reality), and monism (all is one)
as its spiritual foundation….

As you can see the fact that Mikhail Gorbachev and Maurice Strong are behind the Earth
Charter should raise some great concern. Like Strong, Gorbachev has hopes that it will be a
“kind of Ten Commandments.” He stated in a 1997 interview with the Los Angeles Times that
humanity needs to accept “a new environmental legal code rooted in the Earth Charter. My hope
is that this charter will be a kind of Ten Commandments, a ‘Sermon on the Mount,’ that provides
a guide for human behavior toward the environment in the next century and beyond.”

The
Earth Charter will never replace the Ten Commandments but according to international law
expert Herbert W. Titus, a charter is essentially a constitution.
1277
Although the Earth Charter is written as a constitution, it is a referendum of the people of
the world and not the governments of the world. It is not legally binding on any nation and is
considered a soft law document. Soft law documents have power in that they can influence the
development of international law and “frequently evolve into hard law over time.”
1278
The intent
of the supporters of the Earth Charter is that it will become a binding constitution for the world.
As a constitution, the Earth Charter poses a threat to the people of earth once it has been
ratified by governments of the world or subsequent to its language being incorporated into
international law. The greatest danger posed by the Earth Charter is that it is vaguely written
document. As such, it can be widely interpreted under international law. The Earth Charters own
website acknowledges this concern, they write:
Many people have favored a very short text with a brief preamble and no
more than twelve concise principles. Others have strongly argued for a more
substantial document like a UN declaration that includes guidelines for
implementation…. The problem with a short document is with what gets left
out…many groups who feel marginalized and excluded from decision-making
processes are particularly uncomfortable with the idea of a short Earth Charter
with a limited number of very general principles. They believe that those in
