Every People, Language, and Nation - By Britt Gillette -http://raptureready.com/featured/gillette/bg75.html
When it comes to the end times, the Bible is clear. A global government will rule the entire earth (Daniel 7:23). It will be more than another superpower. It will rule the whole world. This not only makes it different from past nations, kingdoms, and empires of the world-it makes it completely unique.
Think about it. Of all the nations in human history, how many managed to set up a global empire? None. Ancient Rome held vast power and influence. But it didn't rule China. It didn't rule South America. It ruled large portions of the known world. But it wasn't a global empire. And the same is true for every other empire in history.
In the book of Revelation, John describes the power of this global empire and its ruler, the Antichrist. He says this empire will rule over "all people, tribes, and languages" on earth (Revelation 13:7). Its authority will be total and complete. No one will be able to buy or sell anything without permission (Revelation 13:16-17).
Think about that. What nation has ever held such awesome power? None. The power to control all buying and selling means even black markets will be shut down. Such power has never existed, and it doesn't exist now. Yet, the Bible says it will come.
Why do I bring this up? Because our generation is unique. It's the first in history with the means to set up a truly global government. Throughout history, huge obstacles have blocked the path to global empire. But today? Those obstacles disappear on an almost daily basis. Let's look at the top four and why our generation will be the first in history with the ability to set up a global empire like the one described in the Bible.
