We need to be reminded that God has ordained "Nations"!

After the Great Flood of Noah, in Genesis 11:6-9, the human population had grown from the family of Noah into a large community speaking one language and cooperating to build a "tower", the world's first "United Nations" building.

The reaction of God to this "one world community" was to confound their language and disperse them to form "nations":

Genesis 11:6 "And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth".

This is just about where the world is now, through "international cooperation", "nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do", from "genetic manipulation", to requiring an implanted "chip" to belong to a "Universal Economic System".

This world was created to resolve the conflict between Satan and God. It is Satan's goal to "weaken the nations" of this earth and dissolve their sovereignty into a world economic system, so he can control the world's economy, and obtain the worship of every human being:

Isa 14:12 "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!"

Satan's goal is, to "weaken" and "level" the Nations, so a world economic system can be instituted.

Rev. 13:16 & 17: "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 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".

When Satan has obtained the world economic system, then he has control of all mankind.

2 Thess 2:3-4 "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, (Greek = "THE Departure", a title for the Rapture of the Church Age believers) and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God".

Once Satan has all humanity under his economic control, Satan's man, called here "the Man of Sin", can declare that he is God, and demand the worship and allegiance of all mankind.

Satan is presently working overtime in unsaved, unbelieving humanity, to weaken the sovereignty of the individual nations and institute a world economic system with a single currency, and thereby attain his goal of ruling the world:

EPH. 2:1 - 2 "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:"

We have now reached the point where our national leaders are beginning to talk openly about the need for a "world economic system", and "yielding national sovereignty" to a "world governing body".

Even Pope Benedict XVI is calling for "a true world political authority that can manage the global economy, guarantee the environment is protected, ensure world peace and bring about food security for the poor".

The stage is set for a global economic system, and some "wonderful person" to lead it.

While we, as Bible Believing Christians, are to respect and obey the authorities placed over us, including our President and National Authorities, I believe that it is becoming increasingly important to use our voice, our influence, and our voting privileges to stand AGAINST yielding our National Sovereignty - in any way - to anyone, or to any "international governing body".

Almighty God would have us stand against any "Globalization of the World", as long as we are here. Yes, God is going to ALLOW this world to adopt a global economic and political system, but the Scripture is clear - that will not happen until all those who trust in Jesus are removed by the Lord Jesus Christ, and transported to heaven. (2 Thee 2:1-14, 1 Cor 15:51-57, 1 Thess 4:10-5:11) The "global economic and political system" cannot happen until the Christians are removed.

We do not know the timetable for God's plan, and we do not know the future for America. What we, as Bible Believers, do know, is that God has clearly ordained "Nationalism", to prevent national sovereignty from being dissolved.

Our President, Congress, and National Leaders - especially those who claim to be Christians - need to be reminded that God has ordained "Nations". It is only God's Holy Spirit and the influence of God's people that is holding this world back from the "world economic system" and the "world government" that the "prince of the power of the air", and the "children of disobedience" so desperately want.

May the Lord richly bless you and your loved ones, as we work to resist the "weakening" of our national sovereignty, and await the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to "take us out of the way". (2 Thess. 2:5-12)
