PART TWO

Globalism and God’s Opposition

As you open to the first chapter of the Bible and then read it to its last book, you see God’s opposition to globalism.  On the other hand, Satan’s plan as the prince of this world is bringing the world system into a cohesive, homogenous whole.  These two ideas combat each other in the Bible and so world history as part of the conflict of the ages between God and Satan.

Early, Satan could think he’s got all of mankind against God.  Adam and Eve take his bait in the garden.  God says in essence, Not so fast.  But everything is ruined by Genesis 3.  It was two people, a small group, but Satan angled for their alignment with him against God.

Biblical, Historical Markers

Some simple historical markers against globalism are (1) the confusion of languages at the tower of Babel.  Before the global flood (Genesis 6-9), mankind banded together and only eight people stood against that.  On the other side of the flood, the same situation began to repeat at the tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9), so God confused the languages.  In line with this outcome is the statement in Genesis 10:25, “And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided.”

Another perhaps less considered aspect of God ordained division on the earth is (2) the reality and history of plate tectonics.  Biblical evidence shows that all the land was once connected (Genesis 1:9).  Both secular and Christian geologists agree that what are several continents look to fit like a jig-saw puzzle.  At one time these several continents were one big continent.  These divisions of land provide natural separations that long time impeded globalism.

Acts 17:26 reveals that (3) God founded nations on the earth:

And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

Rise, Fall of Nations and Boundaries

God determined the rise and fall of nations and the boundaries where they would live.  After man’s fall, God intended boundaries that separated men from one another.  Genesis 10 records the first ever table of nations that chronicles the fulfillment of God having done this.  Genesis 10:5 says:

By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

God also started the separate nation Israel (2 Samuel 7:23):

And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

Genesis 18:18 says:

Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

Each nation functions under the following axiomatic truth expressed by God in Psalm 33:12:

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

Globalism Ends the World

First World and the Next

Just like the first world ended with globalism, the next world will end with globalism.  The Book of Revelation calls the Antichrist, the final one world leader in opposition to God, “the Beast.”  Revelation 13:3 says about that world:

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

He will draw the whole world together around him and his and Satan’s plan.  Revelation 13:8 continues:

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him,, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Satan Wants Globalism

Concerning Satan’s part in this, Revelation 12:9 says:

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

He will deceive the whole world.

The hunger and thirst for globalism dovetails with the purpose of Satan and the future Antichrist.  One of the ways the Antichrist can succeed at this complete cohesion and convergence of the whole world is by controlling everything economic.  Revelation 13:17 says:

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Eliminating Boundaries to Globalism

This requires a common currency, probably a digital one in a cashless society.  Anyone who will not succumb to globalism under the Antichrist will not buy or sell.  More than ever economy exists across national boundaries.  Whatever you may say about the United States relationship with China, much of what you buy probably still comes from there.

The globalists oppose nationalism.  They continue to strive to break down the boundaries and barriers.  This occurs through the media, communication, and finance.  The state schools teach this globalist agenda.

Social media eliminates boundaries and crisscrosses the world.  Companies are worldwide.  Just three companies, Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta, control half of the advertising market and revenue for the whole world.   Five Big Tech companies dominate business, adding to the previous three, Apple and Microsoft.  The five account for 25% of the entire S & P 500.  Like Big Tech dominates, just three companies dominate investment banking:  Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and J. P. Morgan.

Almost every religious denomination now reduces doctrine and practice to its lowest common denominator, endeavoring to diminish the differences that divide.  Whatever does differentiate is minimized.  Agree to disagree.

Rather than have biblical doctrine guide people, it’s instead a common experience.  Church growth depends more on relationships and shared activities.
