THE BEGINNING OF GLOBALISM
"Therefore was
the name of it called Babel" Gen.
11:9
So a name is given to the Mystery of Lawlessness as it
operates in human society. From here, the evil thing is seen running on through
all succeeding ages of the history of man, until it comes to final expression,
and is destroyed (Rev. 18:21). This
account of Babel is that of man's attempt to realize a social order in
defiance of a Divine purpose. The purpose of God was the full realization of
the race, and that necessitated the replenishing of the whole earth by the
scattering of men over all its face. Man took counsel against this scattering,
and attempted to realize a State at Shinar, "lest we be scattered abroad." In order
to the fulfillment of the larger purpose, God confused their language and
drove the nations into separation. The purpose of the scattering was that of
the larger gathering which should fulfill His purpose. He confused their
schemes that His plan might be realized. This is not only an ancient account it
is the account of a perpetual process. Over and over again men have sought to
establish themselves either in rebellion against, or without reference to, the
Divine plans. The result has always been confusion. God has never permitted humanity
to realize a social order from which He is excluded, nor will He do so to the
end. Such an order would mean the limiting and ultimate destruction of
humanity. Therefore He confuses all such attempts, and, compelling men to work
out their own false conceptions to their logical issue and destroys them. Today
we name this drive of mankind GLOBALISM.
