Is the New Order / Old Order / "Order" According to the Plan of One?
I've noticed something in the last couple months, and I've found that I was confused.
"This is what the Lord says to me with his strong hand upon me, warning me not to follow the way of this people:
“Do not call conspiracy everything this people calls a conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it."
- Isaiah 8:11-12
"He made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ."
- Ephesians 1:9-10
"Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right."
- Acts 10:34-35
I see God breaking down barriers, like racism, like fear of other cultures, like nationalism, like patriotism, like pride and arrogance, like the perception that one 'country' is more noble or 'better' than another ( and many have come to realize this perception has been built on lies )...and I see mere men fighting not their 'foes' or enemies,' but God.
He is breaking down walls, like the mindset that one religion is closer to Him than another, like any one man other than He who came in the flesh ( Himself ), is closer to Him... and I see men, out of fear of the unknown and reacting to ill intended media programming, keeping these walls erected... in vain.
“I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.”
- Jeremiah 17:10
I realize that He is still at work even at this very moment, drawing people from all walks of life and every demography irregardless of their cultural heritage or religious tradition... and although men pursue their own desires and corrupt their lives and eternal destiny using wicked means, the Father still works through a particular group of people to bring all peoples under One Head, for the Lord is not political nor partial to any culture or point of view outside of His own and what He has already established, as expressed here:
"There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all."
- Ephesians 4:4-6
