ESSAY 49
THE "PATRIOTISM IS PASSE" MYTH
Liberals in our schools have taught that one world
government is a good goal. This is a direct contradiction of
the underlying philosophy of the U S Constitution. Writers of
the Constitution realized that human beings are flawed moral-
ly and that power would be abused. Therefore, citizens were
the empowered ones. Power was rationed from local through
state and federal government. The federal government was de-
signed to avoid a dictatorship by establishing the balance of
powers between the Executive, Legislative and Judicial
branches.
Liberals have consistently seized power and moved it up-
ward from the citizen to the federal level. They will not be
content until our federal power is moved to a one-world
government. The relinquishing of our national sovereignty to
an alien world government would be a tragic mistake. A step
in that direction occurred when President Clinton released
control of some of our military to the United Nations.
What kind of person would rise to head a one-world
government? He would be a "slick," golden-throated orator
who could woo the world. This con artist would have a ruth-
less heart. The scriptures speak of a human being called the
Antichrist. Doerksen enlightens us,
When in the midst of it [the tribulation] the
emperor [the Antichrist] breaks his covenant with
the Jews and forbids the offering of sacrifices
(Dan. 9:27), the ten kings will hate the harlot,
cast her off, and destroy her (Rev. 17:16f.).
From that time on, all will be required to worship
the beast (Rev. 13:4-8), and the second beast will
set out to force the world to do so (Rev. 13:11-
17). He will use deception and lying wonders (2
Thess. 2:9-12; Rev. 13:13) and force (Rev. 13:7,
15; cf. 6:9-11; 20:4), persecuting those who will
not worship the beast nor take his name (Rev. 13:16
f.). He will require all to take the mark of the
beast and will not allow any to buy or sell unless
they take this mark. It is clear that in those
days multitudes will be slain for the Word of God
and the testimony which they hold. But with the
coming of Christ and the destruction of the leaders
and their armies, the whole religious system of the
end-time will come to nought. (Henry Clarence
Thiessen, LECTURES IN SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY, ed., by
Vernon D. Doerksen (Grand Rapids: William B.
Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1979), p. 367.
Liberals are helping install this evil man by "Pooh-Poohing"
patriotism and fighting for a one-world government.
Only one person has the moral strength to handle one-
world government and the tremendous power associated with it:
the true Christ, Jesus of Nazareth. He will rule the world
in peace for a thousand years, heading the only perfect world
government and the only valid Theocracy in history!
