The New World Order

A raw countryman having brought his gun to the gunsmith for repairs, the latter is reported to have examined it, and finding it to be almost too far gone for repairing, said, “Your gun is in a very worn-out, ruinous, good-for-nothing condition, what sort of repairing do you want for it?” “Well,” said the countryman, “I don’t see as I can do with anything short of a new stock, lock, and barrel; that ought to set it up again.” “Why,” said the smith, “you had better have a new gun altogether.” “Ah!” was the reply, “I never thought of that; and it strikes me that’s just what I do want. A new stock, lock, and barrel; why that’s about equal to a new gun altogether, and that’s what I’ll have.”

Just the sort of repairing that man’s nature requires. The old nature cast aside as a complete wreck and good for nothing, and a new one imparted.

"This world of ours is going to pieces. It has to be reconstructed and it can only be effectively reconstructed in the light. Only the free, clear, open mind can save us, and these difficulties and obstructions on our line of thought are as evil as children putting obstacles on a railway line or scattering nails on an automobile speed track. (Novelist, H.G. Wells, The New World Order, 1939)

It is his belief, that it would be beneficial to the world if a new world order ruled the world which would unite all the world people and at the same time cause war to no longer exist.

this same belief, of a new world order originated in Gen. 11:1-9 with Noah grandson, Nimrod. He revolted against the authorities, and took control of the government and people—all by force to establish a new world order from his ideology. Therefore, they built a tower to establish their world representation. The mindset is “Eradicate the old way, established the new, their way.”

Point 1: The people were setting themselves up—setting man up—as the god of history. Man was building a secular world completely devoid of the only living and true God. (Revelation 21:5, Isaiah 65:17, Eph 2:22)

Man was rebelling against God—excluding, ignoring, and eliminating God entirely from the earth and human history.

Revelation 21:5 (NKJV) Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”

Isaiah 65:17 (NKJV)“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind.

Ephesians 2:22 (NKJV) in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

God’s creation, spoil by sin, will one day be completely renewed. The old order will pass away and a new everlasting order established.

The renewal of creation: The passing away of the old order (2 Pe 3:10–12, Ps 102:25–26; Is 34:4; Is 51:6; Mt 5:18; Mt 24:35; Re 6:14; Re 21:4)

2 Peter 3:10–12 (ESV) — 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. 11 Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, 12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!

Revelation 21:4 (ESV) He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

New World Order: the Kingdom of Righteousness (Romans 14:17; Colossians 1:13)

But God said, My kingdom has come, a “New World Order,”the Kingdom of Righteousness is governed by wisdom, empowered by the Spirit, and characterized by peace."

Romans 14:17 (ESV) For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Colossians 1:13 (ESV) He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son,

Matthew 25:34 (ESV) Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

Its New World Order consist of:

A world of regeneration: a world of new creatures (v.17).

John 3:3 (ESV) Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

Ephesians 4:22–24 (ESV) to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, 23and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

Colossians 3:9–10 (ESV) Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices10and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.

A world of reconciliation: a world of men brought back to God (v.18-19).

A world of ambassadors: a world of men made co-workers with God (v.20; cp. 2 Cor. 6:1).

A world of redemption: a world reconciled by a substitution for sin (v.21).

A world of decision for God: a salvation that can be accepted or rejected (2 Cor. 6:1-2).

2 Corinthians 6:1–2 (ESV) Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2For he says, “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

Through Jesus Christ’s death on the cross and his redemption, human beings are offered a salvation that will give them spiritual life and freedom, reconcile them to God, and unite them to one another as part of a new humanity.
