For some reason, he seems to have attributed the idea of &#8220;beating swords into ploughshares&#8221; to Communist influence. He clearly knows it is from the Bible &#8211; as he reads Bible citation from one of the images (the image actually appears three times in the Bible &#8211; in <a href=\"http:\/\/biblebrowser.com\/isaiah\/2-4.htm\">Isaiah<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/biblebrowser.com\/micah\/4-3.htm\">Micah<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/biblebrowser.com\/joel\/3-10.htm\">Joel<\/a>.) But the fact that this biblical image inspired a statue that the USSR donated to the United Nations is proof enough to Beck that not only was John Rockefeller a secret Communist, but that as he donated land to the United Nations, the UN must be as well? I think that&#8217;s the point he&#8217;s making.
