Dealing With Challengers: Off The Grid’s Bill Heid Presents New Article on How to Respond to New World Orders
Thomson, IL (PRWEB) July 15, 2013 -- Challengers are part of life. There will always be people, organizations, and sometimes even entire government factions that state and believe that their way is the best, is the most powerful, is serving a higher cause and that everyone should join them willingly or be coerced into joining. Sometimes they are right and their cause is good, but oftentimes they seek to bend people to their worldview and pull them away from God. In his latest article, Assyria And The Coming New World Order, Off The Grid News columnist Bill Heid explains that this has been part of the human experience since ancient times.
Heid gives a brief history of the ancient Assyrian Empire, explaining that the roots of Mesopotamian culture centered on the concepts of a “one-world order; paradise restored; the deification of man; and all apart from God. The Mesopotamian worldview understood the whole cosmos as a single State ruled by the assembly of the gods. Earthly empires were obvious, though not necessary, manifestations of the cosmic State.” By creating an empire, the Assyrians enforced their worldview on the surrounding cultures by means of fear and forcibly relocating and scattering the peoples they conquered, making the only unity the unity of the empire.
Though the Assyrian empire was destroyed thousands of years ago there will always be others who seek to change the world according to their own personal ideals, whether it is an opposing political ideology proclaiming that their way is the only right way or even the peer pressure felt by children everyday (http://www.aacap.org/AACAP/Families_and_Youth/Facts_for_Families/Facts_for_Families_Pages/Peer_Pressure_104.aspx). It can be difficult to see the good in some of these incessant challengers, but Heid states that “In every age some version of the New World Order asserts itself. The power-brokers, rulers, and conspirators behind it boast privately and often publicly, of their good intentions, their noble goals, and their inevitable success. They all resonate with confidence. In every case they are gravely mistaken. They are rods of chastisement, God’s own tools for breaking down, overturning, and clearing ground for the advancement of His kingdom in history.”
Christians can take hope from knowing that however great the pressure is, even if it is not obvious at the time, God uses all these things to draw His people to Himself and to further His kingdom’s goals. Heid concludes by stating, “God’s people are never to fear such bold and ridiculous schemers. Instead, we are simply to fear God…”
