That is not so new, it has been around for some time. Everyone always tries to identify the system, as including some nation or nations, that are obviously the final world government.

I don't think this works, I believe the Bible has already shown us who/what it is. If you read this you will see the system rises up, after/or simultaneously with the man. And wont be so easily identified, until the beast himself comes.

Re:17:10: And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
Re:17:11: And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
Re:17:12: And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

These five kings are, Egypt, Syria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, and Greece (Alexander The Great). The one who is, is Rome. One of these Kings/kingdoms, was the beginning of the times of the Gentiles. He was, and is not, but will come again.
