As the radical ideology of globalism comes under increasing pressure worldwide, a number of prominent theologians are joining the discussion, blasting the internationalist movement as "demonic" and even "anti-Christ" in nature. With a
link on the subject to the widely read Christian Post appearing this week on the influential Drudge Report,
the sharp criticism is making major waves worldwide. But the argument is hardly new.
Of course, critics of globalism who deal primarily in the physical realm have long attacked globalists and their political schemes to subvert national sovereignty as dangerous, totalitarian, extreme, kooky, fringe - even treasonous.
But as globalism becomes politically toxic around the world and across the political spectrum, the spiritual implications of globalism are coming under fresh scrutiny too.
There are numerous different definitions of globalism. Until recently, even the word itself was relatively obscure, used mostly by the alternative media to describe the views of establishment figures pushing what they themselves tout as the "New World Order."
At the core of globalism as it is presented publicly, though, is the idea that nation-states and borders need to give way to international governing institutions such as the United Nations, the European Union, and other outfits.
Critics oppose the scheming for a broad range of reasons. For one, globalism aims to disenfranchise citizens and strip them of their right to self-government at the local, state, and national level in favor of what is euphemistically referred to as "global governance." If "power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely," as the old saying goes, the implications of total power at the global level are obvious. And that is just the start of the problem.
Globalists tend to be fanatically anti-liberty, too.
