Tuesday.....International.....Television Evangelists and Radio Talk Show Hosts

The following is my view on the quest for a New World Order over the last three decades: The powers that be and the elites of the world have desired some sort of one-world governmental body for quite some time. The United Nations doesn't come close to giving them what they want for it is still individual nations free to make their own economic plans and worship as they want. They talked about this behind closed doors in their secret enclaves and occasionally talked openly about it just to test the waters which were lukewarm in Europe but frigid in America. There was another problem in that the Soviet Union and Communist China had a different sort of one-world body in mind. Still, the potential was there to begin to lay the groundwork. The biggest roadblock of all came from Christians in America. Ronald Reagan was the president so there was little hope for any real movement towards their goal at that time but how things have changed! Russia and Eastern Europe have embraced much of capitalist philosophy, thanks to President Reagan, and China saw very clearly that it would be the new dark continent if it did not. In my workplace, in the early 80s, it was common to hear of men becoming born again and there were three Bible studies that I know of on the premises. The elites of America were frustrated for they tried to paint Christians as uneducated fundamentalists, but kept bumping into them in their board meetings. A one-world government or New World Order meant a one-world religion, something unacceptable to Americans. The uneducated fundamentalists, became more and more successful, at least if you look at the size of our church buildings, but war came and an Evangelical was our president which motivated the Left, the left out, the left behind and the Left Bank. If Bush was in charge, the war must be bad, for beneath the pious words of the Left is its opposition to, not religion, but the Gospel, for therein is the power of God upon men's hearts, so evident in the last 2000 years, and this infuriates and terrifies them! The word evangelical lost much of its power, in more ways than one, and things looked much brighter for the prospect of a New World Order as recently as a few months ago but it ran into an unexpected bump in the road. The power of the Evangelical was replaced by the power of the Patriot, and the television evangelists were eclipsed by radio talk show hosts. The truth is, the power to confound a New World Order was never in the television evangelist and today is not in that of the radio talk show host. Rather it was not God's timing for this New World Order to come about in the 1980s and we do not know what His will is for today. This isn't to deny the good and wise intentions of these two groups, Evangelicals and Patriots, both of which I would be counted among. There is a trend right now that may signify where we are going. There are those among the Patriots who would like to dump the Evangelicals from the process and there are those within the Evangelicals who would like to, and have significantly, water down the gospel which would end their influence, but God may yet move within America again. Should He move upon the hearts of many of these Patriots as He regenerated the hearts of so many of the 60s, 70s and 80s generation, the New World Order folks may have to put their plans back in the drawer for a few years and the Gospel will continue to be freely proclaimed.
