Do you see yourself as an intentional seeker for truth, willing to change your stance, if persuaded? Or are you someone who finds straddling the fence of truth or consequences comfortable enough?
The United Nations website listed one of their new initiatives as U.N. 21/2030. Amongst items were a global currency, a central bank, the end of national sovereignty, mandatory vaccines, universal basic income, microchipping of citizens and the end of fossil fuels. The suggested completion date for these globalized actions was 2030. A small firestorm ignited and the United Nations quickly disavowed the report, and the media debunked it. But why did this story spread so quickly? Besides standing out as an example for those fearing a coming apocalypse, every element of this initiative seems entirely plausible. Fast track to this January's World Economic Forum's annual meetings in Davos, Switzerland. International news sites invested their broadcasts to the WEF's daily break-out groups and plenary presentations. The goal of full globalization appears to be their primary golden goose. But what is good for the goose may not be good for the gander. What if today's issue for globalism is a bad idea?
There are currently 27 embroiling conflicts between world governments, vying for prominence against one another regardless of 1,000 treaties. Consequently there is a palatable fear concerning the complete disintegration of civilization as we know it. This item of globalism seeks to stop the clock of western civilization's collapse. Countless examples of the written and spoken word are consumed with this desire to fix the fatalism of this fallen world. I am reading one of NC's Wake County Library books. Live No Lies: Recognize and Resist the Three Enemies That Sabotage Your Peace suggests a rationale that we, as individuals and not just whole nations, are at war. Author John Mark Cormer explains how. "Not with aliens from Mars, but with an enemy far more dangerous;...But unlike the War of the Worlds, our enemy isn't the figment of an overactive imagination (Orson Welles' radio depiction of H.G. Welles' classic scifi novel), there's no hoax. Our enemy is real."
When our world was in the full thralls of the coronavirus crisis, former British prime minister Gordon Brown vocally called for a "temporary form of global government". The presumptive conclusion for globalism to succeed is that individual behaviors have no individual rights - robbing us of our right to self-determination. Ray Bradbury's 1953 literary classic and perennial bestseller Fahrenheit 451 comes quickly to mind. Could globalism be Socialism, Marxism, Fascism all rolled into one?
What can pause this kind of future? May it not be the 2023 prediction of the Doomsday Clock with mankind's impending extinction at 90 seconds to 12 noon. Genesis 11:4-6 portrays an example of globalism highlighting the often quoted, "we can be our own worst enemies" by modern humanist Friedrich Nietzsche! I have come to this conclusion, regardless of this world's opinions. "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and accept what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will." (Romans 12:2)
Be not afraid.
