Galloping Globalism
by Rev. N.W. Hutchings
Globalism, by definition, is the envisioned utopian state of
mankind whereby all national and international barriers, now
separating the human race into various nations, are eliminated. When
these barriers are eventually liquidated, all peoples on earth will
subscribe to one religion, one system of economics, and will give
allegiance to one world government. As long as present world
economic, religious, and governmental barriers remain, this
globalistic estate cannot be achieved.
According to the Prophetic Word of God, Satan, during the last
seven years of this present age, will make a supreme attempt to bring
about a global world so he can forever add this planet to his own
kingdom (government) and prevent the return of Jesus Christ: And it
was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them:
and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are
not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation
of the world... And he had power to give life unto the image of the
beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that
as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bon,
to recieve 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 (Rev. 13:7,8 15-17).
In the Bible it is prophesied that in the last days one man will
be given governmental power over all nations, regardless of race,
religion, or language. This man will also enforce a common system of
economics; no individual will work, buy, or sell except by state
permission. There will also be one religion - everyone will worship a
new god, the Antichrist, or be killed.
Regardless of the utopian promises of the internationalists, one-
worlders and globalists, there is no way to tear down existing
national, economic and religious barriers except through a process of
universal execution. For example, there is no way to attain a
marriage between communism and capitalism; no way leaders of the free
world and the communist world will agree on a common govenment; no way
Moslems, Jews, Buddhists and Christians will meet in communion,
brotherhood and assemble except under penalty of death. In order to
attain a globalist society, Satan will offer a new age, a new world
not tied to political systems, economics, or gods of religions rooted
in ages past. Even so, how many still will refuse, under sentence of
death, to deny their country or their god? The Prophetic Word
indicates hundreds of millions, and possibly billions, will die in war
or by state execution for the witness of Jesus... (beheading in
Rev.20:4).
In considering the evolution of the global concept for mankind,
we begin with God's blessing upon Noah and the patriarch's seed after
the Flood. God then divided the human race into nations, according to
the seventy grandsons of Noah. According to Genesis 9, Acts 17,
Romans 13, 1 Timothy 2, and many other Scriptures, God established the
nations according to race, colorc language and then set the bounds of
these nations. These different peoples, according to God's will, were
to appoint rulers to establish governments. The primary
responsibility of government is to maintain social order through the
administration of justice; to wit, protection the innocent by
diligently prosecuting the guilty - the ultimate penalty being death
for murder. The secondary responsibility of government is to grant
every citizen freedom of religious expression, whereby each individual
is given the opportunity to know the truth that Jesus Christ is both
Lord and Saviour of all who believe in Him. The purpose for dividing
the world into nations was to prevent the spiritual contamination of
all mankind as had occurred before the Flood.
From about 2450 B.C. until 1945 A.D. (a period of approximately
4400 years) the world, for the most part, operated within the
political framework outlined in God's ordinance for human government.
It is true some nations rose and fell; some became aggressors and
consumed other nations. But in the course of time, these empires fell
and national boundaries were restored. However, at the beginning of
the 20th century. a prophecy of Daniel had a pivotal effect on the
future course of history: But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and
seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro,
and knowledge shall be increased (Daniel 12:4). Steamships, trains,
telegraph, radio, television, etc... the world suddenly became smaller
and smaller. Through increased knowledge, along with development of
rapid communications and faster methods of travel, nations thoughts of
miles apart suddenly became next door neighbors! An undesirable
consequence of the fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy is wars increased
in size and intensity.
After World War I, many of the world's most profound
intellectuals and politicians concluded nations must resolve their
problems and differences without war or mankind eventually would be
destroyed.
Thus, the League of Nations, and international forum for
representation from all nations, was formed to meet and peacefully
settle national conflicts without ware. The United States did not
join the League of Nations, because at that people did not want to
relinquish any degree of national sovereignty. Most nations that
became members only gave "lip service" to the organization, much for
the same reason.
Nevertheless, the seeds for the international community of
nations was planted. These seed were carefully nurtured by
individuals like John Dewey in the American educational system.
Just two decades after World War I, came World War II. The
second world war exceeded the first world war many-fold in both scope
and casualties. Even though the framework for a new international
forum of nations had been laid. World War II ended with the explosion
of two atomic bombs over Japan. This dramatic and awesome ending to
the most destructive war waged on planet earth served as proof to
internationalism advocates that international institutions must be
established, or man surely would destroy himself and all other living
things.
Presto, the League of Nations was reborn under a new name -The
United Nations. Birthed with the United Nations was a host of other
international social, political, and economic entities which were to
help bring UN membership into a trusting, interdependent,
international relationship. Just a few of these organizations are:
International City Managers' Association; International Control
Commission; International Court of Justice; International Monetary
Fund; International Peace Corps; and the International Trade
Organization.
Since 1945 there have been a series of major wars (Korean War,
South Vietnam War and other serious political and economic struggles
with the Communist world) in which the United States has played the
"international good-neighbor" role to the hilt. Through the
International Monetary Fund, the U.S. gave gold to other nations;
through the Marshall Plan, it built up its most deadly foes, Germany
and Japan, into major, industrial comepetitors; and through retention
of its United Nations membership, it bor the bore burden of cost while
being constantly attacked by at least three-fourths of the UN
membership.
In our schools we are allowing the disciples of internationalism
to indoctrinate our childred with their gospel. Dr. C.M. Pierce,
Harvad University, stated at a convention of teachers in Denver,
Colorado in 1973: Every child in American who enters school at age
five is mentally ill, because he comes to school with allegiance
toward our elected officials, toward our founding fathers, toward our
institutions, toward the preservation of this form of government...
patriotism, nationalism, sovereighty... All of that proves the
children are sick, because the truly well individual is one who has
rejected all of those things and is what I would call the true
international child of the future. Professor Pierce and other
internationalism advocates did not understand that internationalism
would be short lived. While the course of mankind, in the economic
and political sense, has been directed mainly through the channel of
internationalism since 1945, today it is the throes of death.
Internationalism has given way to Globalism. Those who equate
internationalists with globalists make a serious error. Even the
League of Nations - now the United Nations, and related agencies like
the International Monetary Fund, recognize the existence of nations.
Globalism acknowledges no boundaries, either national or
international. While modern Paul Reveres have been running up and
down the street shouting, "The Internationalists are coming!", the
globalist wolf has entered our kitchen through the back door and eaten
our lunch. For the first time in history, why do foreign investors
and industrialists own more property in the United States then
Americans own in other countries? Why can't President Reagan reverse
the balance-of-trade deficit that has now exceeded $150-billion a
year? Why can't the American auto and steel industries be protected
against lower-price foreign imports? The answer to all of these
questions is galloping globalism. To illustrate, we quote from the
July 8, 1985 edition of Industry Week, from an article titled "The Now
Global Game, One World-One Market": The world economic order created
and sustained by the Industrial Revolution, and brought to its keenest
cutting edge following World War II, is fading. Old power structures,
alliances, and consumer values - all the old gods that underpinned
international politics and global competition - are being reshaped.
And the forces driving these changes - including advanced
communications system - have set in motion some far-reaching economic,
political, and psychological tremors. In the accompanying paranoia,
nations have resorted to fingerpointing, grumbling, and veiled
threats. And tensions are certain to grow as the new 'global game'
unfolds. Thomas Campbell, a Stanford University law professor, sees
the world steadily drifting toward a paralysis of trade. 'It could be
as severe as the which fueled the Great Depression,' he warns. 'The
world is on the verge of reverting into hostile camps. All the
efforts that nations have made since World War II in opening up trade
are now in peril. 'Charlies L. Brown, chairman of AT&T Co., also sees
the world at a crossroads.
'We can follow an expansive approach and seek increased
international cooperation,' he says. 'Or we can opt for a restricting
approach and withdraw behind the walls of protectionism and national
pride.'
At stake in all of this is the future of the 'global'
corporation, which scholars view as distinct from the multinational
corporation.
The global corporation, they point out, tends to view the world
as a homogenous market rather than a collection of separate markets
with unique requirements. Professor Theodore Levitt at Harvard
Business School, one of the most respected marketing minds in the
country, has long been a champion of the global corporation and the
'globalization' or markets. 'What we are dealing with here,' he
declares, 'is a implacable force; a tide and not a wave.'
While we weep not at the grave-site of internationalism, at
least the internationalists professed to have a concern for the poor
and underprivileged in all nations. While tears of the international
one-worlders for suffering humanity are mostly of the crocodile
variety, the globalists do not even pretend to have a conscience. Who
cares if a million auto workers lose their jobs in the United States
because of lower priced imports? Their loss will balance out against
a gain in the Orient or Europe. Here is how the global game works as
we quote again from the article in Industry Week: "The only playing
card that some countries have is their pool of low-cost labor, but
with factory automation, this is becoming less of a bargaining chip.
Moreover, the spread of technology has created a worldwide labor
pool - one in which workers in one country actively compete for jobs
with workers elsewhere. A case in point: workers in Barbados now earn
$2.50 an hour keypunching data into American Airlines computers.
Previously, the task was done by 200 U.S. workers in Tulsa, who
earned $6.50 an hour."
Because of expanding global technology, communications, and
investment interests, worker in one country can, by the flick of a
switch, take over jobs being performed by workers in another country.
American Airlines saved $6,400 a day by having workers in
Barbados do the same job that workers in Tulsa were doing. This was
made possible through a world-wide, computerized communication
network.
But what about the workers in Tulsa? What will happen to them?
A few may find employment elsewhere, but most will experience a
difficult period of financial adjustment. This difficult situation in
Tulsa is being multiplied many times over in other cities, and it will
continue to worsen unless American workers are willing to adjust to a
global work scale. The article in Industry Week points out within the
next 15 years an additional 600 million, trained workers will enter
the global work force. Because it will be suicidal for workers to
strike, unions will become a thing of the past. Necessity will bring
about an equalization of the wage scale on a global basis under the
global economic system, the only recourse for industry and workers in
the United States is a tariff on imports and foreign services.
However, for reasons we later explain, protectionism will bring
foreign banking reprisals that could possible result in total economic
collapse.
It also stands to reason, and the globalism article in Industry
Week contends, global economics is bringing with it serious political
and psychological changes. The word, psychological, is often
substituted for religious. While global advocates do not overtly
declare man lives by bread alone, they do contend the food on the
family table determines a man's political views. And, according to
Revelation 13, men will one day be forced to worship the Antichrist as
god in order to get it!
There already is developing an alarming global control of labor,
industry, commerce, banking and communications. Today, we see a giant
step taken to that point when every person will be under the control
of a single authority, and all will work, buy, and sell using numbers
for names and code marks for identification and exchange values.
According to the Bible, the bringing on of such a global society will
result in more deaths than claimed in all past wars in history. But
for Christians this is an even greater reason to discern the 'signs of
the times' and be prepared for our Lord's return.
