Toward a Singular Power
Gravitation toward the center of power is, in regard to man, as ancient as Eden. Of course, the lust to appropriate ultimate power predates time, which was created for humankind.

How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. (Isaiah 14:12-14)

Lucifer, cast from the heavenly habitations, didn't give up his desire to be worshiped. His lust for adoration took him to the garden and to the woman. He managed to put the same temptation to which he himself fell victim before Eve. She lusted after the forbidden power within the fruit.

And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. (Genesis 3:4-6)

The most base instinct within mankind has continued to rule all else within his fallen senses since the first man came to know evil with that act of disobedience to his Creator. Gravitation toward grasping power over others has been the bane of the creation. Carnage, bloodshed, and death continue to be the wages of sin that surge without ceasing through planet earth.

Assault after assault against Israel in ancient times, resulting in diasporas of the disobedient, judgment-deserving Israelites, served as examples of the madness of those who will have nothing less than complete rule over others.

History is replete with beastly tyrants and dictators who have been relentless in the pursuit of power. From the barbarians like Attila, the Khans, Ivan the Terrible, Saladin, and others to the Persians, Greeks, and Romans to the modern would-be world rulers like Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, the roll call of the voracious power seekers continues into today's geopolitical sphere.

Now, however, those wanting, in true luciferic fashion, to put their thrones above the stars of God--and all of their own kind as well--are observable in two distinctive camps.

One camp holds the Kim Jong-ils, the Ahmadinejads, the Gadhafis, and the al-Assads of North Korea and the Middle East. These are for now more easily recognized for whom they are. They gravitate toward power; indeed, they hold absolute power over all within their own blood-soaked borders. However, they have little hope of forming alliances that would provide sufficient strength for an attempt at world conquest. They would turn on each other long before they could achieve such a goal.

Alas, but the other camp has both the commonality of desire, and the impetus to attain the kind of power and authority toward which the fallen minds of man have long gravitated. This consortium of the more sophisticated camp is developing in our time. The immense tug of the promise of complete control over one world, with the elite at the top, is to the globalists as scintillating, as intoxicating, and as tantalizing as the words whispered to the mother of mankind those eons ago: "Ye shall be as gods."

So, when you wonder what this last eight or nine months has been all about, with America's vanishing wealth, autonomy and sovereignty seeming to be fed into some invisible system of insanity, know that there is method to the madness.

The grab for power in this nation is stupefying to the ordinary citizen who is concerned about where it's all leading. But, behind the rush to change everything we've known to be the American way is--to put a complex catastrophe simply--the lust for absolute control. The banks, the auto industry, the health industry: Everything must be brought into a system that, while seeming to be chaotic, is really being manipulated toward a single power. The U.S. has to be the penetration point for piercing the barriers of resistance against the gravitation toward control for which the neo-Babel builders lust. The world is intricately linked to the American economy. It must lead the way toward what the would-be masters believe will be Utopia--heaven on earth.

God's prophetic Word, of course, foretells of where this movement toward a singular power will end. There are two endings, actually. The first destination of this power trip will be that of Antichrist's beast-regime (Revelation 13:16-18). The second destination of ultimate power is the one of which you and I want to be a part:

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. (Isaiah 9:6-7)
