What’s Wrong With World Government?
AT A GLANCE
• Early attempts at world government failed — beginning with the Tower of Babel.
• World peace is a lofty goal. But would world government bring about global peace or global tyranny?
• Modern globalists seek control using advanced technology, aiming to limit population and freedom.
• World government threatens national sovereignty and personal liberty.
The first attempt at world government didn’t go so well. The tyrant Nimrod tried to build a tower “to heaven” and set himself up as a god. We learn in Chapter XI of the biblical book of Genesis that the true God pulled the plug on those plans in one fell swoop. He introduced new languages, making people unintelligible to one another. Then, in a resounding endorsement of decentralization, He “scattered them” from Babel “abroad upon the face of all countries.”
The outcome of other attempts to centralize authority has never been quite so dramatic. Most kingdoms collapsed due to either internal revolt or external invasion. Take for example Alexander the Great, who established his empire by conquering relatively weak, decentralized dominions; a host of would-be successors quickly fragmented his accomplishments after his death.
But life under Alexander was by no means hellish. His rule fostered advancements in art, architecture, philosophy, technology, and science. The same can be said of the later Roman and Mongol empires. Centralized control provided the military might necessary to stave off aggressors and provide security; hence people could rise above a survival-based existence.
