Musing – How New Is the Concept of “One World Government”?

Hebraic Musing – How New Is the Concept of “One World Government”?

It started with Satan’s jealous desire to rule the earth by turning everyone away from honoring their Creator God. 

1. Satan tried to take over in Gen.3:5 by deceiving the whole world, Adam & Eve – “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

2. Why did the Babylonians decide to build a tower?  “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” Gen.11:4  NIV   God saw their objective.  They wanted to worship their own creation, a “built city”.  They wanted to make “a name for ourselves”.  So God dispersed people to become individual nations; God is the creator of nations.  “So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, … it was called Babel—because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. ” Gen.11:8-9   God created sovereign nations, each with a unique language so they could each honor God, His plan!  A spirit of globalization is competing with acceptance of God’s sovereignty throughout the Bible.  (Babylon appears 260 X in NIV; second only to 785 X for Jerusalem) 

3. God arranged for a flood which further dispersed the people over the earth.  This created nations who were dependent upon God for their livelihood.  In Gen.12:2-3 God recognized the concept and the benefit of being a nation blessing God’s earth!  “I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.  I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” 

4. In Joshua’s day, Achan brought calamity on the Israelite forces and he confessed “When I saw in the plunder a beautiful robe from Babylonia, (or land of Shinar) … silver and … of gold … , I coveted them and took them.” Josh.7:21  Man was still was seeking the wealth from the dream of a controlling Tower of Babel.

5. In Daniel chapter 2, God calls on Daniel to interpret king Nebuchadnezzar's dream which described the king’s future.  The dream identified God as the source of King Nebs power - “The God of heaven has given you dominion and power and might and glory; in your hands he has placed mankind … he has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold.” Dan.2:38   Verse 39 describes how the king’s power and global control will be taken away.  Daniel refused to bow to the gold statue of Nebuchadnezzar, which lead to a fiery furnace story!

6. Is Today’s World-Wide Pandemic another example of a call to get back to honoring our Creator God?  How many false gods is the world seeking, honoring and glorifying.  Are we still seeking our gold and our Power?

7. The Anti-Christ is coming in the end-times with a “mark” to track all people.  The internet and Wi-Fi are not yet everywhere; but this world-wide crisis has become an excuse to fund “Wi-Fi” for everyone, so we can ALL be connected.  In Revelation 17 “The Woman and the Beast” reign; in chapter 18 Babylon’s prosperous commerce fails; and chapter 19 is about judgements for Worshipers of God and for worshipers of gold?  In contrast, the NT calls us to worship Jesus. “Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”  Philippians 2:9-11  There is to be no bowing to gold; or to a god of the world; or to the government!

But today we are still sinning and rebelling against our Creator God.  So God is looking for those who will turn from their sinful, rebellious ways and turn to Him.  He tells us in Rom.10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”  Unfortunately, some people absolutely do not want to confess and make Jesus their Lord.  They are playing into Satan’s plan – control of the earth with Satan in charge, AKA a “One World Government”.

Points to ponder   or   RSVP

Has globalism allowed America to be overly reliant on China for pharmaceuticals?

Are we surrendering our rights to W.H.O., a champion of the “New World Order”? 

In what ways is globalism causing America to rely on a “New World Order” system?    

If we want God to bless America, we need to have America bless God.
