They could have maintained the sovereignty aspect of the individual nation states. That would have spurned growth and respectability. But no, they fomented strife, espionage and division all in the name of liberty. Much like Nero said in order to create, you must destroy. The New World Order concept comes into it as a resultant reconsolidation of business, national boundaries, world trade, globalization, offshoring and outsourcing. While fighting supposed radical terrorism, they have taken your liberties, restricted your freedom and infused fear with a system where they tell you that they have your best interests at heart. The bottom line is "they" benefit (you don't). The store front politicians who everyone fawns over (the Clinton's, the Bush's, the Obama's) the people idolize them don't realize that they are locked into a left-right paradigm that is about as logical as watching a tennis game and seeing as the ball is hit from one side to the other (and back again) and arguing about which "paddle" a person will vote for.
Politics is a zero sum game. Always was and always will be no matter what they tell you. The only difference is now it's global so when one side loses - we ALL lose. The ruse is (at least from the politicians and power brokers) is that it's all good for the sake of humanity. Welcome to the global mindset.
And the people will trust them as they are led like sheep to the slaughter...
There will be a few who are not slobbering over what sport is being played on their television screens who are more concerned about what will happen to the rest of humanity. This is nothing new. There will always be that tiny few willing to risk it all. To give it all. They will be the ones who when no one is looking will do the right thing and not succumb to popular belief. They won't sway to the mandates of man and the machinations of event purposed politics. At least not for themselves. They will hold their lives as dear yes, but will not play the game of putting their faith in the secular morals or dogma of man.
No matter what their station in life or circumstances or trials - they persist even as a lone voice trying to wake people up to the truth. A song was overheard with the singer quoting his undying affection for his "love" by saying he "swears to God" that he will never leave nor forsake her. Irony being that the singer doesn't even know God. And if he did know God - he would not need to swear because God would already know it. What liars people have become. Lies are "untruth". And the untruth is everywhere. In the last days truth is rationalized, bartered, leveraged, dialected and thrown down to the ground and trampled on. There are a few voices out there who will stand for the truth but it's guaranteed that they will be in short supply. They will not have the multi-million dollar contracts and be on conservative or liberal tele-vision. The truth is not palatable. The truth is not easily digested. It is not mainstream. Never has been and never will be.
Untruth will usually run in a pack of lies. The left-right paradigm. Exactly what we have today.
The truth is something that a person will more times than not have to pay for with their life. It's not something a revolution will infuse into the collective psyche or automatically instill in a person's life. It's the spark of a person's inner core being that after much persecution and pain will come to the forefront. It is that belief that someone finds in an empty deserted field where many have trod and that person is overjoyed that he has found it. Or, it is a pearl of great wealth that a person finds on a sea of strangers who have overlooked it.
Success comes not at the hands of hard work or education represented by a large house and many children that have been raised in like manner to pursue the best that the world system can offer. It comes from a person who has been born of God who desires the things of God. Not the "religious" but the faithful until the end. Even the science minded individuals who essentially believe that reason can save the day are still religious by virtue of the fact that they believe in a codified system of convictions. That IS religion. It might not be centered on Jesus Christ who is God but it is what they adhere and cleave to in this their unconventional hubris of life.
The cacophony of sights and sounds and the small still voice of the Lord on the long journey to the road of life is filled with many pitfalls and detours. How many of us have cried out from the depths of our soul for the redemption that only Jesus Christ gives...
There is a war going on for your soul. It's called "the game". The "game" presupposes that there will be a happy ending. In the real game - there is no happy ending. No matter what the politicians, the power brokers, or Hollywood tells you - it will not end peacefully. There will be no win-win. The towers they have built and the games they have played will collapse.
In the end it will be all about the game. Don't play it.
That's what faith in Jesus Christ is all about.
And true faith trumps the game.
