“Eden” without God does not exist

I have published a series of brief summaries of one of my presentations on Western civil religion in “Musings of the Court Jester.” Today, in my concluding remarks, I would like to emphasize that the returning Christ will thwart all efforts to create an “Eden” on earth without God. Until that time, Christians must be aware of the steps leading to a world federation so they do not submit to antichristian rulers. As far as I know, only a few people speak out publicly on this highly controversial topic. In most cases, this is done with approval. As a Christian, I voice my criticism. Thus, my message is virtually unique.

Part 7

The United States entered World War I in 1917 claiming that they would “fight for the eternal freedom of all people.” The new world order was to be characterized by justice, law, and brotherhood. President Wilson advocated for the formation of the League of Nations.

The Progressives

• rejected the American tradition of non-intervention in European wars,

• replaced it with an aggressive foreign policy,

• believed that the U.S. had a divine mission to expand its territory and justified its actions with the concept of “Manifest Destiny,” and

• drew on the core principles of the Social Gospel, which is focused on social equality.

At the beginning of the 20^th century, the American economic system evolved into state-monopoly capitalism. The state relied on this system and was prepared to declare war on other countries to protect the financial interests of leading corporations and major banks. A military and imperialist foreign policy facilitated access to overseas markets through the use of force and protected investments abroad.

Nearly all of the massive problems currently facing Western governments, particularly in Germany, can be traced back to the initiative to establish a world federation.

From February 13 to 15, 2023, leading globalists, progressives, and Muslims from around the world gathered in Dubai, on the Arabian Peninsula, for the World Government Summit to call for a “new world order.” The speakers made it clear that personal freedom, political self-governance, and patriotic nationalism must be abolished.

In contrast, they presented

• Big Government (large-scale administrative state),

• transhumanism (the enhancement of human capabilities through the use of new technologies), and

• globalism (a globally oriented, holistic way of thinking and acting)

as the solution to practically everything—from the supposedly human-caused “global warming” (climate change) to health issues, unemployment, and even hatred. One of the main themes was the merging of humans and machines into “cyborgs.” Artificial intelligence and government-controlled “happiness” were also discussed.

Martin Erdmann, The Spiritualization of Technology

The Bible emphasizes that human beings possess a sinful nature that constantly opposes the will of God. Christians are strongly warned not to place their hope in the ability of humans to create heavenly conditions on earth. Politics can never offer human beings the possibility of achieving perfect salvation in this world.

Christian hope centers on spiritual salvation through Jesus Christ, as presented in the biblical Gospel—the Son of God who died on the cross to redeem the elect and reconcile sinners with God. The future Kingdom of God on earth will begin with the visible return of Jesus Christ as King of kings and will be completed in eternity. Psalm 2 states that the nations rage in vain against the Lord, no matter how hard they may strive. The return of Christ will destroy the godless and their attempts to recreate “Eden” without God (Dan. 2). God’s eternal plan for history will be completed in eternity.
