The Final Resolution

Hi.

I'm Brian Ronalds.

I'm the filmmaker on this documentary.

This film was brought to me three or four years ago

by my son's grandfather.

And at first, I didn't know what to think.

But after studying and examining and taking a closer look,

it hit home, my heart, my mind.

It's about the United Nations Security Council

Resolution 666.

The United Nations Security Council Resolutions

started in 1946.

On September 13th, 1990,

the United Nations Security Council Resolution 666

was written,

and formed.

And without going too deep into it, why,

why don't we just take a look?

It defined humanitarian aid that could be exempted

from import and export sanctions,

meaning using food as a weapon of war,

or withholding food as a weapon of war.

So I wanted to take this...

And cross-examine it with this, the Bible.

And this is where our story begins,

Revelation 13, 16 through 18.

"Also it causes all, both small and great,

"both rich and poor, both free and slave,

"to be marked on the right hand or the forehead,

"so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark,

"that is the name of the Beast, or the number of its name.

"This calls for wisdom, but the one who is understanding

"calculate the number of the Beast,

"for it is the number of a man,

"and his number is 666."

Now, I'm not getting ready to bang this over your head,

but what are the chances of

the United Nations Security Council Resolutions

holding the number 666?

That ties right into Revelation 13, 16 through 18.

So what is this United Nations Security Council

Resolution 666, and how the heck does it correlate

with the Bible?

Well, on August 2nd, 1990, Iraq,

home of the original Babylonian Empire,

invaded Kuwait over a major conflict

involving acquisitions of stolen petroleum

through slant drilling.

On that same day,

the United Nations Security Council Resolution 660,

which, fueled by the Kuwait invasion,

led to the demands that Iraq withdraw immediately,

and unconditionally from Kuwait.

Iraq never responded.

On August 6th, 1990,

the UK proposed an economic embargo against Iraq,

which was adopted by the Council Resolution 661.

This resolution resulted in a specific category of goods,

such as military equipment, to be prevented for trade.

In the Bible, Revelation 18, The Fall of Babylon,

Verses 11 through 13 state that,

"The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her

"because no one buys their cargoes anymore."

Immediately, after the UN 661 Resolution of trade sanction

had been adopted, Iraq announced that all foreign citizens

in Iraq and Kuwait be held hostage.

On August 18th, 1990, the Security Council passed

Resolution 664, which demanded that Iraq permit

and facilitate the departure of nationals

from third countries from within Iraq and Kuwait.

Once again, in Revelation 18,

God requested that His people should not be held hostage

in the now Kuwait area.

Verses 4 states, "Come out of her, my people,

"so that you will not share the sin,

"so that you will not receive any of her plagues."

Merchant vessels in the Persian Gulf

disregarded Resolution 661,

and went ahead and loaded cargo anyway.

On the 25th of August, 1990,

the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 665,

demanding that without the immediate implementation

of previous resolutions, the Council would authorize

a naval blockage to enforce the embargo against Iraq.

In turn, the merchant ships were blocked,

causing some to leave the

while others stayed behind

and waited for a change in circumstances.

But eventually, the devastation of war broke out.

Revelation 18 Verses 17 and 18 states that,

"Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors,

"and all who earn their living from the sea,

"will stand far off.

"When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim,

"'Was there ever a city like this great city?'"

At last, the naval blockage effectively sealed off

the coast, which led to the acute shortage of food

and other humanitarian supplies,

sending Iraq into an even deeper crisis.

On September 13th, 1990,

the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 666,

formulating the decision that the UN provide

food and supplies to Iraq via organizations

such as Red Cross, Oxfam,

and other appropriate humanitarian agencies,

welcoming every nation in the world

to carry out its mission.

Now, in Revelation 13, The Beast out of the Earth,

Verse 16 through 18 states,

"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor,

"free and slave to receive a mark on this right hand,

"or on his forehead.

"His number is 666."

Many believe that the undeniable comparisons

are prophecy for end times,

while others relate it to an impressive coincidence.

We want to know, what do you believe?

This documentary will explore the beliefs and opinions

of students, professors, religious enthusiasts

and people from diverse and interesting backgrounds,

to discover if there is anything behind this wild theory.

And if so, what does it say about us,

and where we're headed?

Chance?

Coincidence?

Prophecy?

Let's find out.

- Hello, my name is Mariano Mendoza.

My name is Gabriel Jarret.

My name's Phil Aguilar.

My name is Dennis Gable.

My name is DJ.

My name's Luke Simmons.

- I believe in telling the truth.

I believe that truth and beauty are worth dying for.

I'll ask you again,

maybe you had a minute to think about,

what are your thoughts on chance, coincidence, and prophecy?

- Well actually, I've never given any thought to it.

- My thoughts on chance, coincidence and prophecy

are that they're not necessarily the same thing.

Chance and coincidence seem like things that happen

more from our perspective,

things that we didn't see coming,

things that line up in random ways that we didn't expect.

- I believe in coincidence in terms of

sort of a universal alignment.

And I do think that there's a sort of a cosmic

and magnetic attraction of all things that, you know,

if you believe in something like the Big Bang Theory,

we all sort of came from one place

and are made up of the same material

sort of mixed around in the cosmos over billions of years,

and we're just occupying one body that we have right now,

for a while.

- I guess chance is such an abstract concept

that you have to believe in chance,

'cause chance is what we wake up with every day.

- My view on chance is I believe that God's given us

another chance every day for a new life.

When it comes down to chance, by chance,

this is gonna happen or that's gonna happen.

I believe that all things are orchestrated by God.

First of all, chance

is no longer in the educated world

described in terms of karma or fate or divine providence.

In the language of science, we talk about probability,

we talk about statistics.

The laws of probability, as we know them now,

were formulated about 500 years ago by a guy called Cardano.

- So does everything happen for a reason?

I think so.

I think our lives are very important.

I think we're here for a reason, we're here,

we're meant to do something unique,

something only that we can do and achieve.

- When you look at the word coincidence, co, it means two.

So if something happens more than twice,

more than likely it's something that needs to be looked into

and not just mere happenings.

- He's the guy that figured that chance in a game of cards,

chance in a game of dice,

is not blind and disordered,

it has a structure explained by mathematics.

- I think coincidence are parallels we draw in our own mind

to make things palpable,

because if everything just seemed randomized,

we would really lose focus on

pretty much everything in life.

- My faith that has evolved through the last 17 years

of my life always points me back to, it's planned out,

it's the way it's supposed to be.

So,

I think by nature,

the more that I've learned about myself and humanity,

we're always searching for an answer.

So when people say that phrase,

"Everything happens for a reason",

it does happen for a reason, we find comfort,

because we wanna know.
