The New World Order

• Man needs hope in order to persevere. God
  provides the requisite hope
• 18 That by two immutable things, in which it was
  impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong
  consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold
  upon the hope set before us 19 Which hope we
  have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and
  stedfast, and which entereth into that within the
  veil20 Whither the forerunner is for us
  entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever
  after the order of Melchisedec (Heb. 6).

The New World Order

• One claimed hope, both secularly and religiously,
  is the New World Order. Efforts to install a
  secular world order are underway.
• "The term 'new world order' has been used to
  refer to a new period of history evidencing a
  dramatic change in world political thought and
  the balance of power. The first usages of the
  term surrounded Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points
  and call for a League of Nations following the
  devastation of World War I. The phrase was used
  sparingly at the end of the Second World War when
  describing the plans for the United Nations and
  Bretton Woods system, in part because of the
  negative association the phrase would bring to
  the failed League of Nations.

The New World Order

• In retrospect however, many commentators have
  applied the term retroactively to the order put
  in place by the WWII victors as a 'new world
  order.' The most recent, and most widely
  discussed, application of the phrase came at the
  end of the Cold War. Presidents Mikhail Gorbachev
  and George H.W. Bush used the term to try and
  define the nature of the post Cold War era, and
  the spirit of great power cooperation that they
  hoped might materialize.. (Wikipedia
  Encyclopedia).

The New World Order

• This secular New World Order (some are pushing
  for the replacement language, "era of
  globalization") requires the relinquishing of
  much of separate powers and interests now
  characteristic of world governments and a putting
  in place of one world political order.  Some of
  the first vestiges of this movement involve the
  removal of borders separating countries, starting
  with the borders demarcating the United States
  and Mexico and Canada.

The New World Order

• In its initial stage, it will stress a bi-lingual
  state, Spanish and English.  It promotes the
  influx of cultures and ideologies and calls for
  tolerance.  In fact, to seriously prepare the way
  for this New World Order or Era of Globalization,
  there must be the effecting of tolerance, at
  least tolerance on the part of the U. S. toward
  other cultures and values.  The ultimate goal is
  oneness, oneness in currency, political goals,
  and values.

The New World Order

• The idea of "tolerance" will be and already is
  prejudiced.  For instance, we are hearing much
  about how we (America) must be tolerant relative
  to such world religions as Islam.  Yet, Islam,
  based on the teaching of the Koran, is the most
  intolerant.Government has never offered the
  hope to which man aspires.  In fact, history has
  shown that the more man looks to government, the
  more he is disappointed and enslaved (Roman
  Empire).

The New World Order

• Many religionists have their own version of the
  New World Order.
• "...Jesus was the last king under the Judaic
  genealogy and also the new king of the new world
  order.  He promised to come back after he
  received the kingdom so that he will rule for
  ever and ever...." (M. Stewart).

The New World Order

• There is the matter of logistics involved in this
  New World Order promise.  Consider the statement
  by James Melton
• "God cannot establish His Son in Israel as King
  of the Jews unless the Jews are living in
  Palestine, their promised homeland, so it is
  God's plan to restore the Jews to Palestine
  before the Second Coming of Christ."

9
The New World Order

• This version of the New World Order is the
  doctrine known as Premillennialism.  This belief
  system has flourished along with the acceptance
  and raising popularity of the social gospel. 
  Premillennialism offers the prospect for man
  remaining on this earth and depending on his
  religious status, perhaps holding a high and
  important government appointment in Jesus'
  perceived world government and order.  The
  proponents of this New World Order tell us that
  Jesus' reign will be so complete that there can
  be no wars or political uprisings.  It advocates
  a national conversion of the Jewish race, as a
  preliminary event and focuses very closely on
  Mid-east activities.

10
The New World Order

• Premillennialism has such core doctrines as Jesus
  failed to establish his Kingdom when he came and
  that he will succeed when he returns.
• Notwithstanding, we read of the Kingdom being in
  existence (Col. 1 13, 14, Heb. 12 28).  Jesus
  himself expressly taught that his Kingdom was not
  to be of a corporate nature but, rather,
  essentially
• Spiritual (John 18 36).

11
The New World Order

• This religious New World Order has the saved and
  lost segregated at the Judgment and some nuances
  of this theology has long periods of time
  transpiring involved in the segregation
  ("tribulation," and "rapture" theories). The
  scriptures teach that both the lost and saved
  dead will be resurrected and sentenced the same
  "day" (John 5 28, 29). 

12
The New World Order

• According to Premillennial teaching, the earth
  will not be destroyed at Jesus return.  However,
  the Spirit led Peter taught the total and
  complete destruction of the earth and all that
  appertains upon Jesus' arrival in judgment (2
  Pet. 3 10-13). There shall be "new heavens" and
  a "new earth" (dwelling place), but they will be
  spiritual and not physical or political (cp. Rev.
  21 1f.).

13
The New World Order

• A necessary condition for this political reign of
  Jesus on earth is for the restoration of the Law
  of Moses and the various ceremonial observations,
  a thought totally repulsive to every serious
  Bible student and believer (Zech. 14 16f.).
• Hence, they have an antitype being replaced by
  the type (Gal. 3 19-29).

14
The New World Order

• Those who live for the New World Order, whether
  it is the secular or religious version, are going
  to be let down and frustrated in their
  aspirations.  Man's order and creativity will not
  permanently put in place such a utopic condition
  and false religious teaching cannot produce its
  claims.

15
The New World Order

Heaven and only heaven constitutes the ultimate
utopia. Decay, disappointment, and death are and
shall continue to be associated with this
physical life (2 Cor. 4 16, Heb. 9 27). 
However, in the heavenly city these conditions
are unknown (Rev. 21, 22).
16
The New World Order

"3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven
saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with
men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall
be his people, and God himself shall be with
them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe
away all tears from their eyes and there shall
be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain for the
former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat
upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things
new. And he said unto me, Write for these words
are true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, It
is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of
the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He
that overcometh shall inherit all things and I
will be his God, and he shall be my son" (Rev.
21).

The New World Order

• Conclusion
• Those who perceive of and offer a secular or
  spiritually perverted order that has either man
  or a political Jesus bringing in a New World
  Order that offers all that man needs to
  completely satisfy are seriously flawed. Heaven
  is the "one hope" of the calling of the Christian
  and it shall not be here on this earth (John 14
  1-4).
