WORLD IN CRISIS (part 2)

(part 2)

The world must really wake up! The consequences are far-reaching. The plan continues in Africa and the Middle East. Infrastructures are being built as well creating diverse loans in exchange for the valuable minerals and other natural resources while gaining territorial influence enabling projection of power.

In the Middle East, the relations between China and Iran is destabilising Middle Eastern politics. Iran is a country that is strapped by American sanctions and is a pariah to its fellow Muslim states in the region. Iran's actions have destabilised the region to the point that it is even influencing the recent peace treaty between the UAE and the state of Israel.

However, nothing or ultimate endgames of any nation cannot happen without the revelation of biblical prophecy. It is very clear in the Bible that China will not be the dominant world power at the end of the age. Yes, the growing influence of China will factor greatly but it is clear that another global power will emerge out of a time of crisis that will astound the world.

Since Donald Trump was elected, the steady march to a global world order has been somehow slowed down by his policies. President Trump has put American global interests first. This fact was a nail in the coffin to all world leaders who voluntarily have been steering the world to an ever closer union of states without the constrictions of national borders, national laws and national interests.

His government's policy has been critical of the United Nations, NATO, and recently during the pandemic to the WHO.

He has pulled large number of troops in various countries. He has also re-negotiated the trade pact between the United States, Canada and Mexico to achieve more favourable terms for American manufacturers and workers.

Globalism in its best form, the desire to eliminate national borders, essentially the modern nations, and the creation of a one world order run by trans-national bodies of justice, politics and economics, have suffered a temporarily set-back by the Trump's administration. As a result, hostile feelings toward Trump as well as the creation of uncertainty to the treaties to the same global project.

That is why the American election is different this time around. Everyone knows it will be a decisive election, perhaps the most important of our time.This election cycle has exposed deep clefts of division within the nation. What began four years ago with one candidate calling the supporters of her opponent “deplorables” has evolved to a point where good people backing different candidates find themselves disliking each other because of it. This is dangerous.

I can remember a time when the Americans may have held disagreements about how to achieve the common goal of security, good jobs and a future for their children - but they could all still get along when politicians from the “other” party won the election. But that day now seems to be gone. They have come to the point where they cannot even agree on the kind of country they want. A new strain of ideology has risen and asserts that America is a failed experiment whose structure should be dismantled. In other words, the country needs to be replaced. This is a feeling at the heart of the problems they have today.

I do not take any side in this election. But I do take the side when it comes to the issues and events shaping the future of the world. I comment and write about them from the view of the Bible. I show you what God says about the issues of abortion, gender, marriage and morality. God’s word steps on all our toes, showing us how we should be living. God’s teaching from the Bible can heal division and bring people together.

The problems facing the American President are complex and challenging. That is why it's so important who wins it. The new President elect will have to turn to God for help! And we all know who that is. In my view it matters who wins this election, we need to keep our biblical worldview in place. God controls the course of history. He is guiding today’s events. It is in such knowledge we must be anchored, not partisan politics that can divide. (to be continued)
