I agree. It is here. Sit back and enjoy the show as they carry you off for not playing the game. As i say, long live the counter culture of the Kingdom.The bible says globalisation will happen. The best form of it started at Pentecost and will complete at the Second Coming. The worse will culminate in the reign of the Anti-Christ. Nationalistic resistance is already prophesied to be futile to these processes both for good and evil. God's church is bigger than the USA and so is Satan's slave army. The choice is not to stand against the tide of history it is whether we stand for the Light or darkness as history unfolds.
It seems the hard truth you need to hear is that God is not going anywhere.
That's pretty unfortunate, since it appears that Jesus thought his major purpose was to establish the Kingdom. One alternate translation would be the reign of God, though that still has monarchical overtones. I agree that today it might be expressed differently. But the idea of a community that lives the way God wants, and tries to spread God's love to the whole world doesn't seem dated. In churches that emphasize Jesus' message, I think that understanding is made clear.You know, I never gave that "kingdom of god" talk in church much thought. I suspect it was because as a resident of a (proud) republic there was no reference frame. It all sounded quaint and backward. Probably just some references Jesus used because people back then lived with kings, but we didn't, that's how it felt.
Isolationism doesn't stop globalization. It just keeps us from participating in determining the form it will take. Trump hasn't stopped many of the bad impacts of globalization. But he's kept us from working with other nations that are also concerned about things like domination by China. If we don't hang together, we're going to hang separately.The bible says globalisation will happen. The best form of it started at Pentecost and will complete at the Second Coming.

Or ... "man" can put in whomever suits their chosen political desires and let's that person govern as "man" sees fit ... and "god" can keep "it's" nose out of our business.That's why it is man who puts in whomever suits their self serving desires and God simply uses any of them for His own ways. Eliminates the hypocrisy.
The demographic data for the US is similar to other industrialized nations, on a downward trend in terms of belief in God.
If Christians want their beliefs to be credible they need to demonstrate it in their lives.

I suppose that the war on Christmas will be back in full force.
It begins when the rules say so. Everyone wants to jump the gun even if the outcome already suits their desires. The global World Economic Forum cry of Build Back Better used by all members can't wait to get their program of state/corporate union back on track. Someday people may regret abandoning the evil they can see for a future one they have yet to comprehend.
Yes, God gave us judges and kings and yes, the people eventually went astray after generations cause of their own ways. What we got now is a total satanic one world government.
It's how all of the countries can cordinate on the "ebola" scam they had a few years ago, the coronavirus scam, and other scams....the teLIEvision and media, it is the mind control device.
Actually he produced a stumbling block and a four year delay in a plan to officially assimilate the US into the global movement (the corporate entities are already onboard), which btw countries like China, Canada, New Zealand, European and African, Mideastern countries to name a few, have already been assimilated into. The domination is not by any country, a concept the US is used to, but domination by a collective state/corporate interest that is already well established although the US has been to busy squabbling amongst themselves too take noticed.But he's kept us from working with other nations that are also concerned about things like domination by China.

That is like peeing against the wind. Arrogant but foolish.Or ... "man" can put in whomever suits their chosen political desires and let's that person govern as "man" sees fit ... and "god" can keep "it's" nose out of our business.
God has stood by with very little direct influence other than to say over and over, chose whose will is better, mine or yours, ever since the Garden when He tossed us out into the world to reap the consequences of our self serving actions."god" takes days off?
Not very omniscient or omnipotent of "it".
Perhaps after the cancellation is lifted... if it is. It may return as an online shopping event a couple of times a year to keep the curve flattened for demand of useless junk.I suppose that the war on Christmas will be back in full force.
I thought the old Commonwealth nations were banding together in a new economic union (not including the US who will be busy kissing up to China again). Britain and Canada made a deal this last week.I am hoping that the British can rectify their mistake somewhat by joining the North American trading zone and then use that weight to gain concessions in trade with the EU.
