If you are christian, and you believe in the word of god, then you clearly know what I mean. For the life of me, I can not imagine the US or any major power giving up their sovereignty to any one government, ruler, etc...but it is not so far fetched, depending on how you look at it, by the time this happens, most likely, the US, and all other nations will be in complete ruins, disasters, financial, famine, wars, etc.., in other words, complete global meltdown, then out of the ashes of this death planet, this one government will be formed, and most believe this one government is already underway in secret which is made up from all the super-rich, and powerful, and out of desperation, all nations will end up being under this one world government. aka New World Order, or whatever term you prefer to use, doesnt really matter I suppose.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_World_Order_(conspiracy_theory) http://www.gotquestions.org/one-world-government.html I am by no means an expert on the bible, but it is my opinion sometime after the new world order is setup, they will want even more power and control over your life, and soul, and if you want to continue to do any type financial business, then I believe you will get something that may be resembled as a human bar code on your wrist, forehead, etc....the technology is certainly around now, or will be in the future, so it is not that far fetched that this new world order will require you to receive the mark if you want to conduct business as usual. http://www.gotquestions.org/mark-beast.html However, it is my belief that god does not want his people to suffer, and it is my opinion the rapture will happen before any christian has to decide between doing business, and getting the mark of the beast (666)..... http://www.gotquestions.org/rapture-tribulation.html
There was a pastor I was reading about in the news. I got interested because he obviously has a way of pissing people off, he's in the US but he broadcasts all over - I was listening to a radio show with a bunch of Irish people calling in to swear at him. lol. Good entertainment. He backs up his beliefs with Biblical scripture - his interpretations are more literal. I think the most extreme idea I saw on there - He doesn't preach that his followers commit any violence, however, he does think the government should execute gay people. More to the point - I was checking out his YouTube page and thought about this thread - he talks about what you're mentioning. I think he believes in an end version kind of like what you're saying - although he thinks Christians will go through it - he has a whole series of videos on YouTube under "Post Trib Moments." But anyway, in one of the videos he says Matthew 24 supports his views - there may be more (probably is, since he has more than one video on it). Warning: His views are controversial and offensive to many. Although, I do think they're interesting - I especially enjoyed watching videos of him at the border checkpoint. https://www.youtube.com/user/sanderson1611
No absolutely not, there are governments from top to bottom. Central Government. State Government. City Government.
The EU have a single currency, an open borders policy within the EU, we have european elections, and while it wont happen tomorrow, it is only a matter of time before we have a Federal Europe. That will be the start of a Fereral Earth. ,, Someday....
It's gonna be impossible for a single nation to emerge in Asia. Look at the scenario in South East. So much war, ceasfire violations, border skirmishes and North Korea.
I dono about "One World Government" but i certainly believe in "Vasudhaiva kutumbakam" (which means world is one big home )
