United Nations : Vehemently Against Israel
Isaiah 2 v 3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation neither shall they learn war any more
Since 2011 he has been criticising the UN for its stance on Israel – the UN has long been accused of an anti‐Israel bias, and Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, used his speech at the General Assembly in September to point out that in 2015 the General Assembly passed 20 resolutions against Israel, and “a grand total of three resolutions against all the other countries on the planet”.
Mr Trump said in September 2011 he was “increasingly concerned with the UN's ploy against @Israel this coming week and will monitor all events closely from Australia.”
He added: “We must stand firm against the UN's ploy to sabotage Israel ‐ if the UN grants the PA statehood then we must immediately defund it.”

Psalm 2 : UN The accomplishing Prophecy
• NIV
1 Why do the nations conspire[a]and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth rise upand the rulers band togetheragainst the Lord and against
his anointed, saying,3 “Let us break their chainsand throw off their
shackles.”4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;the Lord scoffs at them.
8 Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron[b]; you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”10 Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
