"The earth is the LORD'S, and everything in it, the world and all its people belong to Him." (Psalm 24:1, NLT)
Not only does, "the world," need to realize and submit to this reality, but so too Christendom, which for too many centuries has allied itself in too many cases with, "Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name...." Right. How's that going, Mankind?!?
I was reading an article entitled, "The Nationalist Revival." You need to read this. What has happened in the United States of America and currently going on in Europe is a reaction to those who would like to disband any national identity. They make it sound as though love for one's country, singing national anthems, dealing with illegal immigrants, willingness to defend a particular people group is all a rival of Hitlerism. In other words, as in Obama's philosophy, "Everybody else is right, and we're wrong."
The article to which I have referred speaks of historic attempts to bring to the earth a sort of "can't-we-all-get-along" ruling philosophy. This was the reasoning behind the League of Nations, the United Nations. There could be something of, "do to others," here, but mostly it is driven by humanism, man's desire and attempts to solve his problems without the Lord Jesus Christ. Babel proved that the Living Triune God will just not allow this to happen.
I deeply believe that something is going on in the heavenlies, which is manifesting right now in, "the world and all its people." King Jesus will not be mocked nor rejected without a very severe consequence to those who so do. Be encouraged today, however, with the reminder that you and I as Followers of Jesus are on the winning side. The battle between "nationalists" and "internationalists" will go on until the Trumpet sounds. Then, my friend, it will all "be over but the shoutin'," literally. Stay in union in Jesus. Stay in His Words. Stay in fellowship with like minded people. Make the most of every moment to bring the Good News in Jesus Christ to the nations. As President Roosevelt ended his speech to the US Congress just after Pearl Harbor, "....we will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God." And He will.
Father, in Jesus' Name, what glorious times to be alive. Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
