- From Revelation 7
An early articulation of the New World Order occurred during the first Christian generation. In the Apostle John's vision, the entire world is coming together in the Final Day.
I think that, for his time, John has captured an image that means: "everybody."
We're all represented there. It's going to look like the United Nations, without the corruption.
The Real God has to have something for everybody. Or you would think. And while it may be my own musings that wish it were so, it seems only logical to agree with the skeptic, that any Real God would have to be big enough to appeal to everybody. But the skeptic continues on, to thus define the Christian God as not big enough after all. Christians are so judgmental, you know.
What could the Real God possibly have for everybody?
- Shelter
- Comfort
- Food
- Water
- Life
- Joy
The modern Progressive tries to make governments that can do all of the above. But alas . . . as long as there is death, you can't have Life. And therefore, you really can't have joy. The simple message of the Real God is that is what's in store for us. People, and governments can try to feed and water, and clothe and house all of us. And that's a good goal. But they'll never be able to give us eternal life. And even if they do, some two or three millennia from now . . . will they be able to resurrect every human that ever lived, so that they can participate in our human-made paradise?
The is why the Saints gather around the throne in Revelation 7. You may not feel like worshiping God now. But you probably will, then.
And it's what we recall on All Saints' Day. It's an appropriate launch to the season of Thanksgiving, leading on to Advent.
