PART FOUR

Separation of Powers

Whom we call the founding fathers of the United States designed into the government checks and balances and separation of powers.  They also formed a system of federalism that divided power between the states and the federal government.  Their understanding of man’s sin nature grounded their desire to limit the concentration of power in one entity.  James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, in Federalist 51 wrote:

If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.

The states could impede the nation and one branch could obstruct another in the tendency of consolidating power.  Even within the legislative branch, the Senate could thwart the House of Representatives and vice versa.

Private Property Ownership

God founded private property ownership.  Even though He owns everything, He designed the concept of ownership itself.  When Israel entered the land, God divided up the property among twelve tribes.  Then among the tribes, families received their own pieces.  God also established with laws rights of private property.

Dividing land by boundaries could separate and check evil.  You can see this in the concept of landmarks in the Old Testament.  Proverbs 22:28 says:

Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.

Fathers set these landmarks, which is a smaller governing unit.  Under fathers were sons and grandsons.  Bigger than fathers were clans and larger than clans were tribes.

You probably notice how that globalists attack the family unit.  When Hillary Clinton said, “It takes a village,” she sees the elimination of basic separation.  Heavy taxation inclines toward government ownership of property.  You hear this in a statement, like President Obama famously said, “You didn’t build that.”  The government has ownership of what it contributed toward building.

Globalist Agenda

Public Education

The fathers of public education, Horace Mann and John Dewey, saw educational reform an efficient mechanism for social control.  Public education standardized curricula and centralized the disbursement of funds.  It restricted competition.  Public schools seized on the influence of making children wards of the state.  Education then became a department of the executive branch of the federal government.

Common Language

Nations have languages.  God confused the languages at Babel to cause separation.  The United States is an English speaking country.  Requiring English represses globalism.

Obscure Sex or Gender

In a rudimentary way, obscuring differences in gender eliminates a significant substructure of separation.  On the way to one world is one sex or gender.  Each sex has a role and eradicating those roles also erases a God-ordained boundary.

Common Currency and Free Trade

On a larger scale than federalism and the separation of powers, nationalism checks globalism.  The elimination of borders portends the loss of God-designed natural separation.  Even if it is not physical boundaries like the line between the United States and Mexico, it is economic ones like separate currencies and cultural ones like unique ways of life based on founding principles.

Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 6:21), “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”  Globalists pour their efforts into a life of physical things.  They are materialists who prioritize the natural universe and the planet.  Most of them don’t care about national boundaries.  They don’t want separation of powers.

National boundaries prevent greater wealth.  Globalists don’t want trade protectionism and economic isolationism.  They want unfettered ability to have and take.   Free trade means buying and selling across borders with little to no intervention or inhibition.  Worldwide companies grow more powerful making it more difficult for solely national, state, and local businesses to compete.  Fewer companies control more until only a few men can control everything, like an Antichrist and his handpicked, loyal subordinates.

To gain more power and stay in power, globalists gladly offer limited security to the masses.  They market protection and a very basic quality of life.  Adherents trade freedom and opportunity for safety.  Greedy globalists also play on greed by offering a certain stipend and free education and healthcare.  Without compliance, occupants or residents lose privileges and finally life.

Censorship

To keep safety and security means control of communication.  Censorship becomes the rule with few exceptions.  Censorship says “no” to preaching the gospel.   Jesus said the truth shall set you free indeed.  The Antichrist will round up and destroy those speaking the truth.

Antichrist Versus Christ

The human leader of a future one world government is the Antichrist.  He’s called the Antichrist (1 John 2:18).  In that way, he has something in common with Christ.  Christ will rule the world.  The Antichrist wants this just as the power behind him, Satan, wants this.  Globalism fails because of sin.

On the other hand, Christ saves from sin.  He brings world peace.  Everyone lives in harmony one with another with safety and security.  However, the kingdom of Jesus Christ on earth comes only through Christ, not the Antichrist.  Until Jesus sets up His kingdom on the earth, all globalism rebels against His plan.
