[2] It came about as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. [3] They said to one another, \u2018Come, let us make bricks and burn them<\/em> thoroughly.\u2019 And they used brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar. [4] They said, \u2018Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach<\/em> into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.\u2019 [5] The LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. [6] The LORD said, \u2018Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them. [7] \u2018Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another\u2019s speech\u2019 [8] So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city. [9]Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of the whole earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.\u201d\n\nIt\u2019s not too far you get into the Bible that you discover what I like to call the first\u00a0 United Nations meeting as the people of the earth contradicted the express will of God, which was to scatter, Genesis 9:1 tells them to scatter.\u00a0 They contradicted the revealed will of God and they began to build a global structure, sometimes called a new world order, which is really a system of politics, economics and religion which excludes God.\u00a0 It\u2019s very clear that they were doing this against the will of God because their goal here was to make a name for themselves.\u00a0\u00a0 They were trying to build what I like to call a stairway to heaven because that\u2019s literally what \u201cBabel\u201d means, the gates of God.\u00a0 And they\u2019re doing all of these things without the insight of God, without the instruction of God.\u00a0 The project was coming together under a man named Nimrod who is mentioned specifically in the Bible.\u00a0 You\u2019ll find a reference to him in Genesis 10:8-10.\u00a0 He is the first typological prefigurement, if you will of the coming antichrist.\u00a0 This man, Nimrod\u2019s name in Hebrew literally means revolt or rebellion.\n\n[Genesis 10:8-10, \u201cSo the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city. [9] Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of the whole earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.\u00a0 [10] These are the records of<\/em> the generations of Shem. Shem was one hundred years old, and became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood; [11] and Shem lived five hundred years after he became the father of Arpachshad, and he had other<\/em> sons and daughters.\u201d]\n\nGod saw what the inhabitants of the earth, just after the flood this was happening, were doing and He moved into action.\u00a0 The key verse is verse 6, it says in Genesis 11:6, \u201cBehold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them.\u201d\u00a0 God saw what they were doing and He moved into action and He disrupted this great experiment in government that the inhabitants of the earth were involved in.\n\nThe question is, why did God stop what was happening?\u00a0 The answer is in verse 6 where God says, \u201cnow nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible.\u201d\u00a0 God there is not speaking of the potential for good; He is speaking of the potential for evil.\u00a0 And think about this just for a moment; if only one government exists on planet earth and that government happens to fall into the wrong hands, a Fidel Castro, a Saddam Hussein, an Adolf Hitler, think of the mayhem, think of the evil that can be brought upon the human race in that scenario.\u00a0 There\u2019s no countervailing force.\n\nBy contrast, if you have multiple governments, multiple nations, if one nation goes astray the other nations can arise and check and balance the evil that\u2019s taking place in that one nation.\u00a0 This has happened multiple times in history.\u00a0 Think of the nations arising against Adolf Hitler during the World War II era.\u00a0 But if there are no multiple governments the check and balance system is an impossibility; the potential for evil is unlimited.\u00a0 And you see, God knows \u00a0something about human nature.\u00a0 In Genesis 8:21, right when this one world project was beginning God said this about human nature: \u201cthe intent of man\u2019s heart\u201d is what? \u201cevil from his youth.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0[Genesis 8:21, \u201cThe LORD smelled the soothing aroma; and the LORD said to Himself, \u2018I will never again curse the ground on account of man, for the intent of man\u2019s heart is evil from his youth; and I will never again destroy every living thing, as I have done.\u2019\u201d]\n\nGod understands something about the tainted sin nature that we have inherited from Adam, contrary to what you hear from humanism and sometimes psychology and other secular disciplines, the Bible does not come from the position, philosophically, that humans are inherently good.\u00a0 If we were inherently good we would have no need for a what?\u00a0 A Savior.\u00a0 And this is a doctrine called the depravity of man.\u00a0 Lord Acton put it this way in a famous quote, \u201cAll power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts\u201d what? \u201cabsolutely.\u201d\n\nGod says I know something about Nimrod, I know what his nature is like and I know what he would be like; I know the dictator that he would emerge as if he had unlimited power, so I\u2019m going to stop this building project dead in its tracks and this is the origin of the beginning of nations, individual nations, something that God Himself has ordained.\u00a0 I wish we had time to look at all of these verses but what you have to understand is that God, at the tower of Babel set a precedent and He confused the languages, preventing the builders from cooperating with each other because God, in essence, is saying we are not going to have one government, we are not going to have one nation, we are going to have multiple nations.\u00a0 And that is the natural ordering of God post Babel; this is the decree of God.\n\nSo consequently the Apostle Paul would write or say in his Mars Hill speech, Acts 17:26, \u201cHe made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries\u201d we might put it this way, \u201cborders nationally of their habitation.\u201d\u00a0 And when you search verses on the Millennial Kingdom, even into the eternal state what you\u2019ll discover is multiple nationalities, multiple ethnicities, multiple governments are the norm even though in the Millennium and eternal state God Himself will rule over those multiple governments.\n\nThis has created, in the mind of God, what we would call a check and balance system.\u00a0 Evil can only get so far; evil can only get its hand on some of the governments of the world but not all of them.\u00a0 And this is something that God Himself ordained and set up to restrain evil in the post-fall, post-flood world.\u00a0 I believe that this concept that I am describing here is largely the genius of the American system.\u00a0 How is it that the American system has survived over two centuries where other countries have gone through multiple constitutional changes in the same period of time?\u00a0 The answer is the American system does not consolidate power in one person\u2019s hands; it divides power up, first horizontally amongst three separate branches, the executive, the legislative and the judicial.\u00a0 And second, vertically between the national government and the individual state governments.\n\nIn fact, Anthony Scalia, a conservative jurist, passed away recently, and in one of his closing remarks that he gave prior to his death he said this:\u00a0 \u201cThe genius of the American Constitutional System is in the dispersal of power.\u00a0 Once power is centralized in one person or one part of the government a Bill of Rights is just words on a paper.\u201d\u00a0 This comes from a philosophical presupposition about the nature of man.\u00a0 Lord Acton said it the best, as we said before, \u201cPower corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely,\u201d so let\u2019s divide power up; let\u2019s not let one man or one party or one person get control of everything.\u00a0 And I always get a chuckle out of these pundits who complain that nothing is ever getting done in Washington D.C.\u00a0 My response to that is thank God for that, because what if things were getting done efficiently and there was no debate, there was no check and balance system.\u00a0 Think of the insanity that would be foisted upon us should this power fall into the wrong individual\u2019s hands.\u00a0 And this is the genius of the doctrine of nations, the individual nation state that God Himself is the author of; one person can\u2019t get control of everything.\u00a0 There\u2019s a perpetual conflict or check and balance.\n\nThis takes us to Roman numeral II; notice, if you will, the book of Daniel, chapter 7 and verse 23.\u00a0 I have hopefully disclosed to you the mind of God on this subject but what\u2019s the mind of the devil?\u00a0 The mind of the devil is always the opposite of God\u2019s.\u00a0 Satan\u2019s goal in human history is to reverse the doctrine of the nation\/state that God established at Babel and to revert humanity back under one man, under one man\u2019s rule, the coming antichrist.\u00a0 We know that Satan, one of these days, will achieve this goal, I believe it will be largely accomplished after the restrainer, who I think is the church, is removed from the earth.\n\nDaniel 7:23 says this of the final form of government that will exist just prior to the Second Advent of Jesus Christ, the final form of Gentile dominion and rulership: it says, \u201cThus he said: \u2018The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it.\u2019\u201d\u00a0 That is speaking of the kingdom of the antichrist, a new world order, a one-world government.\u00a0 It\u2019s a rollback, if you will, to what Satan was trying to set up at the tower of Babel.\u00a0 The Scripture over and over again predicts that Satan will get the upper hand for a season as world government will not be disrupted this time but will exist on planet earth.\u00a0 You can read about it in passages like Revelation 13:7-8; there\u2019s a very graphic description of it in Revelation 13:16-18 where the economies of the world are controlled by one man.\u00a0 You can read about it in the book of Revelation, chapter 17 and verse 15 where it speaks of the harlot, which represents the city and the system of the antichrist having dominion over all the peoples of the earth, peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.\n\n[Revelation 13:7-8, \u201cIt was given power to wage war against God\u2019s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. [8] All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast\u2014all whose names have not been written in the Lamb\u2019s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Revelation 13:16-18, \u201cIt also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, [17] so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.\u00a0 [18] This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.\u201d\n\nRevelation 17:15\u201d And he said to me, \u2018The waters which you saw where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.\u2019\u201d]\n\nWhy is Satan doing this?\u00a0 The simple answer is he has always wanted to be like God.\u00a0 The book of Isaiah, chapter 14 and verse 14, of Satan, says this, \u201c\u2018I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High God.\u2019\u201d\n\nThe fact of the matter is God Himself attempted, prior to sin, to set up a one-world government ruled through Adam.\u00a0 And we know that the great goal in human history is for the kingdom to be established on the earth as God the Father will rule over God the Son and God the Son, Jesus Christ, will govern all of planet earth on God the Father\u2019s behalf; we call that the thousand year kingdom.\u00a0 Satan, who knows the Scripture, says that looks like a good plan, I want to be like God, I\u2019m going to set up my own one-world government.\u00a0 So right out of the gate in the Scripture you see two competing worldviews: God against world government (unless He rules it); Satan himself wanting to rule over world government in contradiction to the direct will of God.\n\nAnd isn\u2019t it interesting today that the world is being set up just like a chess board, pieces on a chess board; as the pieces are being orchestrated and move every so gradually in the direction of achieving Satan\u2019s final goal of one-world government, stage setting events.\u00a0 You say well, do you have any examples?\u00a0 I\u2019m glad you asked.\u00a0 Take, for example, the thinking of the elites.\u00a0 What do I mean by \u201celites\u201d?\u00a0 \u00a0I\u2019m not talking about Mr. and Mrs. America, I\u2019m talking about the movers and the shakers; I\u2019m talking about the people that graduated from the top Ivy League schools.\u00a0 I\u2019m talking about people of influence and economics, politics and even in the world of religion.\u00a0 What you have to understand about many of these people is they don\u2019t think in terms of the nation; they think in terms of world government as the solution to man\u2019s problems.\n\nJohn Lennon sung about this, in the song Imagine<\/em>.\u00a0 He says, \u201c\u2026imagine a time when there will be \u201cno countries<\/u>,\u201d, now when he says \u201cno countries\u201d that is a rebellion against what God established at Babel, \u201cno religion,\u201d \u201cno heaven,\u201d \u201cno hell,\u201d \u201cno possessions,\u201d\u2019 that one cracks me up because the man died a multimillionaire, \u201ceveryone \u201cliving for today,\u201d and the world \u201cas one<\/u>.\u201d\n\nThis statement by a globalist, Henry Commager summarizes the mindset.\u00a0 He says, \u201cThe inescapable fact, traumatized by the energy crisis, the population crisis, armaments race, and so forth, is that nationalism<\/u> as we have noted in the 19th<\/sup> and much of the 20th<\/sup> century is as much of an anachronism<\/u> today as with States Rights when Calhoun preached it and Jefferson Davis fought for it.\u00a0 Just as we know, or should know that none of our domestic problems can be solved within the artificial boundaries of the states, so none of our global problems can be solved within the largely artificial boundaries of the nations.\u201d\u00a0 [Henry Steele Commager cited in The New World Order, page 147]\n\nNow if I did not have the light of the Word of God and had no understanding of what God did at the tower of Babel I would probably think the same way.\u00a0 We can\u2019t have all of these nations doing their own thing with all of their nuclear programs, we\u2019ve got to consolidate power into one person, and that\u2019s the best way to solve our global problems, the armaments race, the so-called population crisis and other things that he mentions.\n\nIn other words, the problems of the globe are so severe we need global government to fix the problem, not understanding that global government itself is the greatest nightmare that could ever be created, given the depravity of man and the fallen nature of man.\u00a0 It\u2019s interesting here he mentions an analogy with the individual state governments in America.\u00a0 Did you know that when our Founding Fathers established the\u00a0 United States of America the power was not to reside in the national government?\u00a0 The power was supposed to be really exercised by the individual state governments.\u00a0\u00a0 You see that in the tenth amendment and many other places.\u00a0 And over time what has happened?\u00a0 The states now have less and less authority, less and less power that they have seeded over time to the federal government, something that I like to call Fedzilla.\u00a0 Nationalism is an anachronism; what Commager is saying here is the same process needs to kick into full gear or full force regarding the doctrine of the nation-state; we can\u2019t fix these problems with nations, nations have to bow to globalism.\n\nYou say well, you know Andy, I think you\u2019re getting a little bit into conspiracy theories here.\u00a0 It\u2019s not a conspiracy theory when somebody tells you what they\u2019re going to do in their book, is it?\u00a0 David Rockefeller, a famous noblest, says this in his Memoirs<\/em>, you can read it for yourself, page 405.\u00a0 \u201cFor more than a century ideological extremists\u2026have seized upon well-publicized incidents\u2026to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. \u00a0Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as \u2018internationalists\u2019 and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure--one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.<\/u>\u201d <\/em>[David Rockefeller cited in Memoirs<\/em>, page 405]\n\nWe\u2019re not really dealing with conspiracy theories any more, are we?\u00a0 This is right here out in the open.\u00a0 It\u2019s interesting to me that as the globalists get closer and closer to reaching their goal the more transparent they become about their true intentions; it\u2019s almost as if they don\u2019t have a lot to hide any more.\n\nWhat about educational thinking?\u00a0 The dominant education in America today is humanism.\u00a0 The humanists wrote a doctrinal handbook, it reads like a doctrinal statement of a church, where they set out their intentions.\u00a0 Humanist Manifesto II (1973) \u201c<\/u><\/em>We deplore the division of humankind on nationalistic grounds<\/u>.\u201d\u00a0 What God did at Babel they\u2019re saying we hate.\u00a0 \u201cWe have reached a turning point in human history where the best option is to transcend the limits of national sovereignty and to move toward the building of a world community\u2026 a system of world law and world order based upon transnational\u201d\u00a0 you ought to remember that word because that\u2019s big today \u201ctransnational federal government,\u201d\u00a0 a government which supersedes the nation state.\n\nRemember Bill Ayers, Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn were members of what is called the Weather Underground in the 1960\u2019s and the early 70\u2019s.\u00a0 They were guilty of terrorist activity, including setting off bombs, one in police headquarters of a particular city, another one in the Pentagon because of their protest against the Viet Nam War.\u00a0 We call them radical left wing terrorists.\u00a0 When you study the life of Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn what you discover is they escaped the long arm of the law through a legal technicality, were exonerated of their crimes and so my question is well, what do you do for an encore?\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0I mean, after your career of terrorism is over with what do you do?\u00a0 What\u2019s part 2.\u00a0 Here\u2019s what you do: you become a college professor, which is exactly what they went into.\u00a0 Now to us it\u2019s sort of funny, we chuckle at that but I want you to understand something, after leaving terror these two went into teaching the next generation.\u00a0 Do you know what Bill Ayers produced?\u00a0 A cartoon book for kids.\u00a0 Who is he targeting?\u00a0 What he is saying is I am going to continue my revolution through the next generation.\n\nBill Ayers writes, or said recently, \u201cThe great challenge for our generation [is]\u2026to think differently about citizenship<\/u> means, to think differently about what it means to be a \u2018citizen of the world.\u2019<\/u>\u00a0One of the great dangers that we live in right now, is\u2026that the American Empire is in decline<\/u>\u2013that economically, and politically, and in\u00a0some ways culturally, that we are in decline\u2026and that the game is over.<\/u>\u00a0 It\u2019s over.\u00a0 <\/em>Now what?<\/u>\u201d\u00a0 Answer:\u00a0 Globalism.\u00a0 [Erica Ritz, \u201cBill Ayers to University Students: America\u2019s \u2018Game Is Over\u2019 and \u2018Another World\u2019 Is Coming,\u201d online: http:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/stories\/2012\/05\/02\/bill-ayers-to-university-students-americas-game-is-over-and-another-world-is-coming\/<\/u>.

Pierce, Harvard psychiatrist, speaking as an expert in public education at the 1973 International Education Seminar.]\n\nWhy are these kids sick or ill in your mind?\u00a0 Well, they love America; beyond that they love Jesus and they love their parents and they love George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, so you teachers, you get them at the age of five and you fix their brains correctly; that\u2019s what he\u2019s saying.\n\nOf course, the good old days, the Pledge of Allegiance of America, you remember that, you want the new version?\u00a0 This came out through the ministry of Kerby Anderson exposed this, this started to happen in Boulder, Colorado and other places.\u00a0 You see the insignia there that I have on the screen, it\u2019s no longer the American flag, it\u2019s a pledge to the earth.\u00a0 \u201cI pledge allegiance to the flag and my constitutional rights with which it comes. And to the diversity, in which our nation stands, one nation, part of one planet<\/u>, with liberty, freedom, choice and justice for all.\u201d\u00a0 [Globalist Pledge of Allegiance in U.S. School, Boulder High School<\/strong>, October 2007, Kerby Anderson<\/em>\u2019\n\nNo statement there about the United States, no statement there about the Declaration of Independence and our rights coming from God; it\u2019s a movement educationally into super-national transnational government.\u00a0 \u00a0Global management by crisis.\u00a0 That\u2019s another trend that\u2019s aggressively setting the stage for the world government of the future.\u00a0 After all, Rahm Emanuel, former Chief of Staff to Barak Obama, said this: \u201cYou never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it\u2019s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.<\/em>\u201d\n\n[www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Pb-YuhFWCr4<\/a>]\n\nIn other words, a crisis is good because we will use the crisis itself to expand the reach of the government.\u00a0 A crisis demands a government response, so the crisis becomes the pretext by which the size and the scope of the government is increased.\u00a0 Now the globalist have been doing this at the international level for years through these various United Nations Conferences, Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro to protect the environment. \u00a0The Human Rights Conference in Vienna in 1993 to protect human rights.\u00a0 The Population Conference, Cairo, Egypt, 1994 to prevent starvation and poverty.\u00a0 Women\u2019s Conference, \u00a0<\/strong>Beijing, w<\/em>e had some missionaries go there, that country, Women\u2019s Conference, Beijing, 1995, to protect women\u2019s rights; Habitat Conference, Istanbul, Turkey, 1996, provide global housing for all.\n\nClimate\u2026 now notice they don\u2019t call it global warming anymore; global warming is too narrow a definition; if we call it climate change we can include everything in the mix; we can blame all of man\u2019s activity on anything that goes wrong, whether it\u2019s heating or cooling. Or tsunamis or earthquakes or whatever.\u00a0 Climate Change Conference, Copenhagen, 2009, to implement climate change policy.\n\nDo you know the common thread that runs through all of these conferences?\u00a0 The carrot that is always dangled is world government.\u00a0 Just give us control of the nations of the earth and all of these crises, some of them real, (some of them hype in my opinion) can be resolved.\n\nWhat about the environment?\u00a0 This is what globalists say:\u00a0 \u201cIn searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill...\u201d \u00a0\u00a0[Alexander King and Bertrand Schneider, The First Global Revolution<\/em> (New York: Pantheon, 1991), 115.]\u00a0 We like the issue of the environment; do you know why?\u00a0 Because the environment affects everybody.\u00a0 So if we can convince people that they\u2019re something wrong with human activity influencing the government we can control every nation on planet earth.\u00a0 This is what globalists think today.\n\nAnd consequently Al Gore, in his book,\u00a0 Earth in the Balance<\/em>, writes on page 269: \u201cwe must make the rescue of the environment the central organizing principle for civilization.\u201d \u00a0People think well, this issue of the environment is going away, global warming has clearly been disproven.\u00a0 It\u2019s not going away.\u00a0 The elites will never give up the issue of the environment because it\u2019s just too good of a pretext for a global problem.\u00a0 As I\u2019ve mentioned in prior sermons I\u2019m in favor of environmental stewardship, not environmental worship and certainly, not as a pretext to erase something that God Himself established, national boundaries, back in Genesis 11.\n\nSo what we have now are nameless and faceless bureaucracies, transnational treaties and organiza\u00adtions that almost reads like alphabet soup there are so many of these, that constantly sit and regulate, that are what I would call transnational in scope, they\u2019re not accountable to any one nation, who regulate and control behavior constantly because the solution to a global crisis is global government; management by crisis.\u00a0 We love a crisis because a crisis, real or imagined, becomes the pretext for what we want to do.\u00a0 What we see today, consequently, is a total trashing, a total marginalization of the United States Constitution and the American form of government.\u00a0\u00a0 We look at that and we take offense to it but let me just say something; if you\u2019re a globalist, a one-worlder, the whole thing makes perfect sense because we do not want people\u2019s loyalties to rest with a nation.\u00a0 We certainly don\u2019t want the dollar to be the standard of the world; we don\u2019t want patriotism to be too thoroughly inbred in the youth because then people are looking at a country and we want to erase the concept of countries and replace it with global government.\u00a0 So the concept of American exceptionalism is out.\n\nYou know, my dad\u2019s generation was raised with the concept of American exceptionalism.\u00a0 I was\n\nraised in a home where on certain holidays the flag was put out in front of the house.\u00a0 I remember coming under discipline of my father because I was in charge of the flag one time and I let the flag still stand as the sun was going down; that\u2019s a no-no.\u00a0 You don\u2019t do that in a country you respect.\u00a0 And as you carry the flag you don\u2019t drag it in the dirt, you don\u2019t touch it or step on it, you fold it, you take care\n\nof it, you put it away in a proper way, because this is the United States.\u00a0 I thank God I was raised in a home like that.\u00a0 People today have no concept of that.\u00a0 It\u2019s not being instilled, certainly by their parents in many cases, certainly you can\u2019t trust the educational system to instill these values.\u00a0\u00a0 You can\u2019t even trust the President of the United States who said this, on foreign soil I might add.\u00a0 \u201cI believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.\u201d [www.youtube.com\/watch?v=c15wk3InDws]\n\nAmerica is no more special or unique or different than any other country on the face of the earth and in fact to assert that this nation is somehow special, blessed by God, is a sign of arrogance.\u00a0 Let me tell you something\u2014America IS special. \u00a0Do you know how you can tell?\u00a0 How many people are trying to come into this country versus leave?\u00a0\u00a0 I mean, it\u2019s so severe that we have an immigration crisis.\u00a0 Do you think they have that crisis in Fidel Castro\u2019s Cuba?\u00a0 Do you think people are trying to get in there?\u00a0 No, they\u2019re trying to get out of there.\u00a0 The fact of the matter is they will risk their lives in rickety boats to travel shark infested waters from Cuba to Miami, Florida, in the hope of their feet touching American soil, and living in freedom.\u00a0 Apparently these refugees believe in American exceptionalism.\u00a0 The only people that don\u2019t believe in American exceptionalism today are the academics and the people running the country.\n\nBrock Chisholm, the head of the World Health Organization, said this back in 1954:\u00a0 \u201cTo achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family tradition, national patriotism, and religious dogmas.\u201d\u00a0 We\u2019ve got to get that thinking out of people\u2019s minds.\u00a0 \u00a0[SOURCE: George Brock Chisholm, First Director of the World Health Organization (WHO), Speech, Conference on Education, Asilomar, California, September 11, 1954]\n\nI can\u2019t tell you how frustrating it is for me as a pastor to look around at the state of the church today when 4th<\/sup> of July comes around I want to celebrate; I want to celebrate at home, I want to celebrate here at the church, in fact, I want to preach a sermon on the subject, in fact this sermon has gone so long we\u2019re into our seventh Sunday on it.\u00a0 [clapping]\u00a0 Let me tell you something; unless you have a patriotic pastor that is not the thinking of most churches.\u00a0 In fact, I\u2019ve seen blog articles where people say this is a sign of idolatry to do this.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a sign of idolatry, I think God did something special in creating this country and I want to acknowledge what He has done.\u00a0 You have the trashing of patriotism, you have the trashing of the United States Constitution.\u00a0 Why is the Constitution always attacked?\n\nThomas Jefferson summed it up this way: [Kentucky Resolutions of 1798] \u201c...in questions of power then, let no more be heard of confidence in man,\u201d that sounds like Lord Acton, doesn\u2019t it?\u00a0 That even sounds like God\u2019s opinion about the towers of Babel with Nimrod.\u00a0 \u201c\u2026 but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution...\u201d \u00a0\u00a0The Constitution is the limitation on political power so if your goal is to replace the American system with something transnational in nature\u00a0 you have to deprecate, denigrate perpetually the United States Constitution.\u00a0 In fact, our own President, back in 2009, before he was elected said this:\u00a0 \u201cObama described the U.S. Constitution as having \u2018deep flaws\u2019 during a September 2001 Chicago public radio program adding that the country\u2019s Founding Fathers had \u2018an enormous blind spot\u2019 when they wrote it. Obama also remarked that the Constitution \u2018reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day.\u2019\u201d\u00a0 [David A. Patten, \u201cObama: Constitution is \u2018Deeply Flawed,\u2019\u201d online: www.Newsmax.com, accessed 25 August 2009, 1.]\n\nOr they say this: not only is it flawed, you can\u2019t even know what it means.\u00a0 Ezra Klein, an MSNBC contributor: \u201cAccording to staff writer for The Washington Post and MSNBC Contributor Ezra Klein said, \u2018The issue with the Constitution is that the text is confusing because it was written more than 100 years ago and what people believe it says differs from person to person and differs depending upon what they want to get done.\u2019\u201d\u00a0 [http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bc4qHHIRcJw&feature=related]\n\nYou mean you can\u2019t understand the Constitution because it was written a hundred\u00a0 years ago in our own time culture?\u00a0 What in the world are we Christians doing studying a book written 2,000 years ago, or 3500 years ago if you want to factor in the Old Testament, in Greek and Hebrew, a totally different culture on a totally different planet.\u00a0 Of course we can understand language, particularly in our own culture a mere hundred years ago.\u00a0 But you see, this is the mentality of the elites.\u00a0 That\u2019s why people say the Constitution is (I wish I had a nickel for every time I heard this, I would retire right now a rich man) a living and breathing document.\u00a0 Well, what does that mean? It means we make it up as we go, that\u2019s what it means.\u00a0 We make it up as we go because we really don\u2019t know what it says.\n\nOr you have a scenario where the United States Supreme Court, when it makes decisions, doesn\u2019t really care about the United States Constitution.\u00a0 In fact, they are more interested in what global opinion is than what Thomas Jefferson or George Washington said.\u00a0 There\u2019s a famous case, Bowers v. Hardwick, (1986) that dealt with an anti-sodomy statute coming out of the state of Georgia.\u00a0 This law came all the way before the Supreme Court and in 1986 the Supreme Court said we don\u2019t agree with the law, but the law stands.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because it does not conflict with the history and the traditions and the heritage of America.\u00a0 That was 1986 which really was not that long ago when\u00a0 you think about it.\n\nFlash forward to 2003, an identical set of facts come before the Supreme Court, this time from the State of Texas, and this time the Supreme Court struck down this law.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because this time they were looking at a different source, they weren\u2019t looking at the Federalist Papers or the anti-Federalist papers, or George Washington or Thomas Jefferson, or the Declaration of Independence, what they were looking at is (quote) \u201cglobal opinion\u201d (close quote).\u00a0 This law, they said (this is your Supreme Court doing this) is out of step with world thinking, therefore it\u2019s null and void.\u00a0 If you want an excellent book on this I would encourage you to read the book by Robert Bork, who was a Reagan jurist appointed to the Supreme Court that got rejected by liberals that controlled the Senate Judiciary Committee at that time, the late 1980\u2019s.\u00a0 The very last book Bork wrote is called Coercing Virtue, The Worldwide View of Judges.<\/em>\u00a0 And he documents in this book so carefully and meticulously that this trend of governments no longer looking at their own founding documents but instead looking at treaties that are international in scope, global opinion, is happening in America and it\u2019s happening around the world.\n\nAnd then there\u2019s something lurking in the background that very few Christians understand or know even exists, it\u2019s called the International Criminal Court.\u00a0 It exists to prosecute crimes against humanity (whatever that means), human rights violations, war crimes, genocide, treaty violations and 120 nations have ratified this court.\u00a0 I praise God, you can think whatever you want about George W. Bush, I have a very mixed opinion about some of his governing, but I\u2019ll tell you something he did, he kept us out of the International Criminal Court.\u00a0 Thirty-two nations embraced the International Court without becoming forming ratifiers of it.\u00a0 The International Criminal Court, residing there in the Hague, what is this contraption?\u00a0 It\u2019s a pretext for global government, folks, that\u2019s what it is.\n\nThe American system, as I\u2019ve documented in other sermons, comes out of the Scripture.\u00a0 That\u2019s why you have rights built into our Constitution that you find nowhere else in the world.\u00a0 Calvin Coolidge says the Founding Fathers of America got their ideas by listening to sermons, kind of like the sermon I\u2019m giving now.\u00a0 That\u2019s why in the American system there\u2019s a respect for human life, there\u2019s a respect for rights, there\u2019s concepts like innocent until proven guilty.\u00a0 Well, where does that come from, innocent until proven guilty?\u201d\u00a0 You\u2019ll find it in the Old Testament.\u00a0 You\u2019ll find in the description of the Old Testament cities of refuge, three west of the Jordan, three east of the Jordan, where people could run to for refuge when they were accused of a crime.\u00a0 So they ran to these cities of refuge until the emotion cooled off and the facts could be collected and you could actually figure out through a jury process, is so and so guilty of this crime or not?\u00a0 What is that?\u00a0 That\u2019s innocent until proven guilty, isn\u2019t it.\u00a0 Where does that come from?\u00a0 It comes from the Bible.\u00a0 If our Founding Fathers are looking at the Bible it stands to reason, would it not, that these concepts would show up in the American system of governance.\n\nLet me tell you something, you don\u2019t have that in the International Criminal Court.\u00a0 Basic rights we take for granted are absent from the International Criminal Court.\u00a0 Like what?\u00a0 Burden of proof on the prosecution, presumption of innocence, right to an impartial jury trial, right to a speedy trial, a Sixth Amendment right.\u00a0 You mean, they just lock you up and jail\u00a0 you and whenever they get around to trying you they do that?\u00a0 You can\u2019t do that in America; you can do that in the international, transnational criminal court.\u00a0 The right to an appeal, if I lose who do I appeal to?\u00a0 The international criminal court says we\u2019re not bothered by that.\u00a0 Protection against double jeopardy, what is that?\u00a0\u00a0 You can\u2019t be tried for twice for the same offense in America.\u00a0 The Eighth Amendment protects us from that.\u00a0 If you get a prosecutor that doesn\u2019t like you he can\u2019t try you for a crime and then if he loses try you again and try you again; that\u2019s a violation of double jeopardy.\u00a0 There\u2019s no protection against double jeopardy in the International Criminal Court.\u00a0 There\u2019s no freedom from self-incrimination.\u00a0 There\u2019s no protection from cruel and unusual punishment.\n\nAnd part of this setting of the stage for the pretext or world government is the concept of regionalism, regionalism as a prerequisite for globalism.\u00a0 What do I mean by regionalism?\u00a0 What I mean by regionalism is this: you take a bunch of countries located in the same area and you coalesce them into one governing unit, and you take political power away from these individual countries and you isolate political power into some capital somewhere.\u00a0 So that way this capital reigns over a region.\n\nThe whole thing has already happened in Europe where the source of political power amongst the individual European states is not those individual European states but it\u2019s where?\u00a0 It\u2019s Brussels.\u00a0 Have you ever talked to someone from the U.K.\u00a0 I\u2019ve talked to people from the U.K.\u00a0 I just had a conversation with Paul Wilkinson.\u00a0 Brussels is controlling what people in the U.K. do regarding, to their lawn mowers, how loud it can be, how much grass they can cut, how much water they can consume.\u00a0 Now you\u2019ve watched this whole thing play out where the British, the U.K. got sick of it and they\u00a0 just did something called Brexit, it\u2019s been all over the news, and they are reacting against regionalism.\u00a0 I find it highly interesting and somewhat ironic that the very nation that we, as America, broke away from because we love freedom, suddenly got some spine and some backbone and they said no to their own form of loss of freedom.\u00a0 I wish Americans were a little bit more like the British in that respect.\n\nThe European Common Market, if you\u2019re interested, a book by Jerome Corsi, \u00a0a Harvard PhD called The Late Great USA, The Goal to Merge America, Canada and Mexico into a Region with a Common Currenc<\/em>y, no longer the dollar but the amero, these are things that are happening.\u00a0 Regionalism is a stepping stone to globalism.\u00a0 Let me quote Jean Monet.\u00a0 Who was Jean Monet?\u00a0 Jean Monet is the father of what we call the European Union today.\u00a0 Jean Monet died about 1970, he\u2019s the architect of what we call the European Union, and Jean Monet developed what is called the Monet Method.\u00a0 You say well, what is the Monet Method.\u00a0 The Monet Method is simply this: As you\u2019re regionalizing you don\u2019t tell the people what you\u2019re doing, you do everything behind the scenes; you masquerade your true intentions with all kinds of political and economic verbiage like treaties, fair trade, but you don\u2019t tell them the ultimate goal is to regionalize and consequently remove political power away from their government.\n\nToday the individual European nations are nothing but debating societies; the true source of power is Brussels; thank you Jean Monet and the Monet method.\u00a0 Monet writes in his memoirs, \u201cAnd the European community itself is only a stage on the way to the organized world of tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s a stepping stone.\u00a0 [Jean Monet, Memoirs<\/em> (New York: Doubleday, 1978), 524]\n\nYou say well, does this have any relation to how we vote?\u00a0\u00a0 You bet. When you vote for somebody you need to figure out really quick where their loyalties are.\u00a0 Are their loyalties to an independent nation, like the United States of America, \u201cWe the people,\u201d or are their loyalties to some distant, nebulous, removed, international coalition or bureaucracy.\u00a0 There are globalists and there are nationalists.\u00a0 Nationalism is the design of God; globalism isn\u2019t.\n\nThis is so far beyond your typical Republican and Democrat [can't understand word].\u00a0 I wish it was as simple as Republican vs. Democrat, conservative versus liberal.\u00a0 Certainly those distinctions still hold up but there\u2019s a much broader issue that transcends, many times both parties, and that\u2019s the issue of nationalism versus globalism, which I believe God Himself has spoken to.\u00a0 It\u2019s a fascinating exchange, you can find this on You Tube, March 7, 2013,\u00a0 as Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta is being questioned by Jeff Sessions, the Senator from Alabama.\u00a0 Jeff Sessions, coming from a nationalist point of view; Leon Panetta coming from a global point of view:\u2019\n\nSessions<\/u> asked Panetta<\/u> if he could \u201cinitiate a no-fly zone over Syria\u201d without Congressional approval.\u00a0 \u2018Again, our goal would be to seek international permission and we would ...come to the Congress and inform you and determine how best to approach this, whether or not we would want to get permission from the Congress\u2026,\u2019 Panetta<\/u> said.\u201d\u00a0 Sessions responded, \u201cI'm almost breathless about that.\u00a0 What I heard you say is, we're going to seek international approval and then we'll come and tell the Congress what we might do and we might seek Congressional approval.\u201d\n\n\u201cPanetta<\/u> explained that if U.S. forces are working as part of an international coalition, then the administration would want \u2018to get the appropriate permissions,\u2019 which he said is something \u2018all of these countries would want.\u2019 Sessions<\/u> pressed the issue and asked \u2018what entity\u2019 the administration would seek permission from. Sessions<\/u> said he was all in favor of international support, but added that he was \u2018baffled by the idea that somehow, an international assembly\u2019 would provide a legal basis for the deployment of the U.S. military. \u00a0Sessions<\/u> responded that international bodies \u2018provide no legal authority\u2019 to deploy U.S. military into combat operations.\u201d\n\nMr. and Mrs. Candidate, you want to send my son or my daughter into Harm\u2019s Way?\u00a0\u00a0 I want to know what your source of authority is for that?\u00a0 Are you basing your decision on \u201cWe the People,\u201d the United States of America, or are you overriding \u201cWe the People,\u201d the United States of America and instead listening to some sort of global voice.\n\nI can\u2019t think of a more pressing fundamental issue for believers to think about when this whole subject of foreign affairs and politics comes up.\u00a0 You know, if you want to go to war there\u2019s a way to do that according to the Constitution.\u00a0 The Congress has to have approval of that.\u00a0 Did you know that a lot of the so-called wars that we\u2019ve gone into, like the so-called Persian Gulf War, was not done based on any seeking of approval from Congress but it was based on what the global coalition thought.\u00a0 Globalism, global politics, \u201cglobaloney\u201d as I like to call it, are you a nationalist or an internationalist?\u00a0 If you\u2019re a nationalist you\u2019re siding with the plan and program of God as ordained in Genesis 11.\u00a0 If you\u2019re a globalist, I hate to be this blunt about it, you\u2019re working for the antichrist, whose goal in history is to set up world government.\u00a0\u00a0 You say my goodness, what kind of sermon is this, certainly you\u2019ve got some good news for us.\u00a0 I do have some good news.\u00a0 You ready?\n\nWho\u2019s ready for some good news?\u00a0 The good news is yes, Satan has his heyday; yes, Satan gets his one-world government, I think we as believers can slow it down quite a bit just by being informed but after the rapture of the church Satan is going to finally get what he has always wanted, since the disruption of the tower of Babel, a one world government.\u00a0 It will bring in slavery and despotism like you\u2019ve never seen before on planet earth.\u00a0 And yet that world government is limited.\u00a0 In fact, the Bible tells us that that world government is going to be replaced by a stone cut without human hands, the Kingdom of God, that will shatter the feet of that global contraption that Nebuchadnezzar saw as a giant statue and bring the whole thing to a screeching halt.\u00a0 And that stone cut without human hands, the Kingdom of God, will grow and grow and grow till it fills the whole earth.\n\nIsaiah 9:7 says of this coming kingdom, \u201cThere will be no end to the increase of His government\u201d it goes on and it says \u201c\u2026 with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore.\u201d\u00a0 In fact, if I\u2019m reading my Bible correctly the world government of the antichrist and Satan is only going to last 42 months.\u00a0 Compare that to the thousand year kingdom of Jesus which is the only new world order I want to be a part of, is the one that Jesus Himself, not Nimrod, not the antichrist, is administering.\u00a0 In fact, Babylon, the seat of power of Satan\u2019s kingdom, Revelation 18:10 says will collapse in one hour.\u00a0\u00a0 [Revelation 18:10, \u201cstanding at a distance because of the fear of her torment, saying, \u2018Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in one hour your judgment has come.\u2019\u201d]\n\nAll of the plotting and planning of human history to bring forth this world government dissolves in an hour as God replaces it with a greater kingdom.\u00a0 I would call that good news, wouldn\u2019t you?\u00a0 And here\u2019s really the key question: what citizen are you a member of?\u00a0\u00a0 You know, most people in this world, because they don\u2019t know any better, are citizens of this world and this kingdom, and let me tell you something, the ship is sinking so fast it\u2019s literally a fulltime job just to keep up with the sinking and all of the developments.\u00a0 Most people\u2019s hopes are so wrongly anchored in a system that is failing they are in essence spending their lives rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, because everything they know and hope for is here.\u00a0 How different it is when a person trusts Christ and becomes, by definition, a citizen of a greater kingdom that\u2019s coming.\u00a0 I love the song that they sang earlier because it talks about kingdom hope.\n\nWhat is the message of the gospel?\u00a0 It is kingdom hope, it is a message that as one author said there\u2019s a new world coming.\u00a0 There\u2019s a better world coming.\u00a0 And you can be a part of that better world.\u00a0 What do you do?\u00a0 You switch your allegiance.\u00a0 Well, how do I switch my allegiance?\u00a0 You do one simple thing, it was alluded to in the singing that we did earlier,\u00a0 you believe the gospel.\u00a0 You trust in Christ and what He has done and the moment that happens is the moment your allegiance changes from the shifting sands of manmade globalism to the eternal kingdom of God.\u00a0 And I would challenge you, right there, as I\u2019m speaking, to shift your allegiance by doing one simple thing, believing, which means to trust in the gospel.\u00a0 There\u2019s a lot more to this than simply where you\u2019re going to spend eternity once you die; that\u2019s an important subject but the issue is hope.\n\nIf your hope is in this world and these politicians to fix it you are going to be one miserable, depressed person because the problems of this world are so severe that no one man, outside of satanic energy, can resolve it.\u00a0 And even when that Satan and his masterpiece arrives he resolves it for a short time.\u00a0 You have to be trusting exclusively in Jesus Christ.\u00a0 His kingdom is on the way, it\u2019s just a matter of time before it comes.\u00a0 The question is, are you a member of it.\n\nShall we pray.\u00a0 Father, if there\u2019s anyone here that has not yet trusted in Christ as their Savior and moved into the wonderful blessings of hope that You offer, I ask that the Spirit would convict them even as I speak, and they would begin to know in whom they have believed, that they would have hope beyond this world.\u00a0 And in the meantime, Father, you\u2019ve given us this wonderful privilege of voting.\u00a0 I ask that You would help use this as we inquire into the beliefs of the candidates and hope that Satan\u2019s project could be slowed down, as You called us to occupy till You come and to be salt and light.\u00a0 Give us Your clear mind on the subject of globalism as we vote in this November and other elections.\u00a0 We\u2019ll be careful to give You all the praise and the glory.\u00a0 We ask these things in Jesus\u2019 name, and God\u2019s people said\u2026","series_sermon_number":""},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
