Global Crisis and the Search for a New World Order: A Biblical Response from Daniel 2:41-43

The New World Order as a subject and its correlation with global crises is of current interest. Human life has been characterized by intermittent periods of upheavals and relative tranquility. Global crises are specific to each period of history. When crises erupt, there is always a need for a concerted way to resolve them. In modern times, significant crises such as World War I and II have put human existence in a state of hopelessness and meaninglessness. Such catastrophes have compelled world leaders to seek to implement a one-government agenda to assuage humanity s suffering. Attempts to curb such crises have created peace movements and organizations, including the United Nations and the European Union. Despite these intentional efforts to federate nations for a better world, unity and peace seem to remain a mirage. Through an exegetical approach, the study has proven that all attempts to unify nations under the banner of a peaceful global village seem to be bound to failure. Therefore, the study concludes that the past and present sequel of events worldwide agrees with biblical data. The book of Daniel is explicit that a one-world agenda is an illusion.
