Sermon Notes

Should a Christian be a nationalist or globalist? (VLJ #4 book ch 7,8,9)

Christian Nationalism – dog whistle attack patriotic believers

If you love your nation – you must be a racist & bigot & hate other nations.

1. Nationalism – you are a citizen of your nation & responsible for your nation
2. Globalism – you are the citizen of the planet & responsible for it all
3. If you don’t want to spend $ or lives defend other borders = racist (Ukraine)
4. If you want a border & legal immigration for your nation = racist

God is against Globalism [1 slide]

Genesis 11:1-9 Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there…they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.” And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. And the LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.” So the LORD dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. And from there the LORD dispersed them over the face of all the earth.

1. Going East = away from God
2. Shinar (Babylon or Iraq today) & tower of Babel
3. 1899 German Archaeologist Robert Koldeway began 18-yr excavation

=God’s answer to Globalism is Nationalism (scatter into nations & languages)

LOVE YOUR NATION. EVEN BE PATRIOTIC.

Globalism Today

-Tech & travel = bringing people & languages together like no time since Genesis 11.

-Beginning Globalism – WW II – global alliances between Axis powers (Italy, Japan, Germany) & Allied powers (Soviet Union, US, British Empire, Poland, France, UK).

-Today, UN Security Council, NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) = versions

– Trade deals = Europ Union & North Am Free Trade Agree =  versions globalism

– Financially, orld Bank, Internatl Mon Fund, & cryptocurrency = degrees of globalism. –

-G-7, which includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US, has met regularly since the mid-1980s at the finance minister and central bank governor level.

-Since 2008, the G-20 country leaders began meeting regularly to address the global financial crisis. 2009 tG-20 elevated to premier international economic forum.

-G20 members: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, U.K., U.S., European Union

-World Health Org – “pandemic” global gov’t

Godlessness is behind Globalism [1 slide]

The Humanist Manifesto II 1973 says, ”humans are responsible for what we are or will become. No deity will save us; we must save ourselves…The ultimate goal should be the fulfillment of the potential for growth in each human personality – not for the favored few, but for all of humankind. Only a shared world and global measures will suffice…We deplore the division of humankind on nationalistic grounds. We 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 in which all sectors of the human family can participate. Thus we look to the development of a system of world law and a world order based upon transnational federal government. This would appreciate cultural pluralism and diversity…For the first time in human history, no part of humankind can be isolated from any other. Each person’s future is in some way linked to all. We thus reaffirm a commitment to the building of world community, at the same time recognizing that this commits us to some hard choices…At the present juncture of history, commitment to all humankind is the highest commitment of which we are capable; it transcends the narrow allegiances of church, state, party, class, or race in moving toward a wider vision of human potentiality. What more daring a goal for humankind than for each person to become, in ideal as well as practice, a citizen of a world community.”

Globalism Triggers the Last Days [lower 1/3]

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

• If one person combines politics/religion/economics/hero status = demonic

2 John 7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.

• Antichrist – 1. remove & 2. replace Christ as King & Kingdom

Revelation 16:19: The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath.

Revelation 18:1-2: …I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great

authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory. And he called out with a mighty

voice, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast.”

= Last Days demonic Spirit of Babylon rises up like Genesis & Daniel

What is the Demonic Political Spirit of Babylon?

Daniel 4:1 King Nebuchadnezzar to all peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you!

1. Same evils in diff’t nations & generations & leaders =
2. Babel – 1500 yrs later Babylon Nebuchadnezzar = global King counterfeit Christ

=Invade Israel (no borders) & enslave Daniel & others, built large statue of self like tower of Babel as political/spiritual god counterfeit Kingdom God

7 Signs of the Spirit of Babylon [lower 1/3 for each point]

1. Cross borders – nation Babylon marched over border invading Israel
2. Close churches – tore down altars, closed churches, stopped churches (COVID)
3. Control schools – closed Bible based schools prophets, only gov’t schools
4. Cancel prophets – God’s prophets cancelled, & many killed (be silent or dead)
5. Counterfeit prophets – false prophets “magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, Chaldeans, wise men of Babylon”
6. Create perversion – Isaiah 47 sexual perv; Rev. “whore of Babylon”
7. Castrate youth – Isiah 39:5-7 eunuch, never married, Kings court, boss a eunuch

6 Biblical Principles in the Founding of American Government [lower 1/3 each pt]

1. Rights come from God, not government.

Preamble to Declar of Indep from July 4, 1776, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

• Because everyone a sinner power is better shared than centralized.

1.Legislative (Congress) – 2.Executive (Prez)– 3.Judicial (Federal courts)

• We have a legal system based on laws not might because of the Bible.

XN spread Roman empire, XN bishops given legal authority, then XN Emperor Justinian organized legal system that paved way for Roman Law that led to US justice system

• The Bible distinguishes human life and lower levels animal and plant life for rights and justice.
• Everyone is equal under law (despite race, gender, social status, or religious belief) because everyone bears God’s image.

Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

• Bible lays basic framework for just government in places like the 10 Commandments.

= don’t steal (private property), do not murder (sanctity life)
