The 17 goals

 

1 Corinthians 14:40

King James Version

40 Let all things be done decently 

and in order.

SPIRIT and I have started a series of articles regarding the world's 2o3o agenda.

This is now our third article in the series.

With the intent of exploring the viability of this agenda.

Based on Scripture, of course.

A born again always looks to GOD's will, ways, and wisdom.

GOD has the FINAL say.

The UN initiated their "2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" in August 2015.

All 193 member nations agreed to these 17 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals):

No poverty

Zero hunger

Good health and wellbeing

Quality education

Gender equality

Clean water and sanitation

Affordable and clean energy

Decent work and economic growth

Industry, innovation and infrastructure

Reduce inequality

Sustainable cities and communities

Responsible consumption and production

Climate action

Life below water

Life on land

Peace and justice. Strong institutions

Partnerships for the goals

Now, let's look into it.

Per goal.

No poverty

"End poverty in all its forms everywhere."

Zero hunger

"End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture."

Good health and wellbeing

"Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages."

Quality education

"Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all."

Gender equality

"Achieve gender equality and empower all men and women."

Clean water and sanitation

"Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all."

Affordable and clean energy

"Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all."

Decent work and economic growth

"Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all."

Industry, innovation and infrastructure

"Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation."

Reduce inequality

"Reduce inequality within and among countries."

Sustainable cities and communities

"Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable."

Responsible consumption and production

"Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns."

Climate action

"Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts by regulating emissions and promoting developments in renewable energy."

Life below water

"Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development."

Life on land

"Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss."

Peace and justice. Strong institutions

"Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels."

Partnerships for the goals

"Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development."

Now that these are in place, we shall review its viability, versus what Scripture says.

We shall compare man's declarations, versus GOD's declarations.

And that's for this post.

5 things every GLOBALIST must know

 

Psalm 14:2

King James Version

2 The Lord looked down from heaven 

upon the children of men, 

to see if there were any that did understand, 

and seek God.

Are you a globalist?

You know, the kind that has ideas about world domination.

On the pretext of "homogenization".

Making people united -- through race, religion, or economy.

Making everything cut, and dried.

As if we're pieces to a convenient puzzle.

Which keeps getting overturned all the time anyway.

Much as we think we could globalize, or unite the world, it won't happen.

We don't have such power.

SPIRIT and Scripture tell us why.

First, the FIVE facts established by SPIRIT:

We won't live forever.

Globalism won't work.

GOD's will prevails.

We need JESUS.

We need to be born again.

Now, the supporting verses.

"We won't live forever."

Much as the power elite have memorials to commemorate their greatness, and have delusions of extending their dynasties forever, it won't happen.

Believers will have eternal life, through JESUS.

For unbelievers, it's futile to embark on life extensions, fountain of youth, or any such ideas.

As if GOD would allow any one of us to act like Him, when our hearts aren't even right.

The verses below nip any such idea of immortality on earth:

Genesis 3:22-24

King James Version

22 And the Lord God said, 

Behold, the man is become as one of us, 

to know good and evil: 

and now, lest he put forth his hand, 

and take also of the tree of life, 

and eat, and live for ever:

23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth 

from the garden of Eden, 

to till the ground from whence he was taken.

24 So he drove out the man; 

and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, 

and a flaming sword which turned every way, 

to keep the way of the tree of life.

"Globalism won't work."

Globalists can keep trying, but their plans will fail.

As it has failed, so far, and will always fail.

As if GOD would allow such nonsense.

He "re-designed" the world -- after great error on man's part.

Genesis 11:5-9

King James Version

5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, 

which the children of men builded.

6 And the Lord said, 

Behold, the people is one, 

and they have all one language; 

and this they begin to do: 

and now nothing will be restrained from them, 

which they have imagined to do.

7 Go to, let us go down, 

and there confound their language, 

that they may not understand one another's speech.

8 So the Lord scattered them abroad 

from thence upon the face of all the earth: 

and they left off to build the city.

9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; 

because the Lord did there confound 

the language of all the earth: 

and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad 

upon the face of all the earth.

For people to get along, and to be one, first, they must be ONE with the LORD.

Only JESUS has the power to unite.

GOD gave His Son power to do so.

Matthew 28:18

King James Version

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, 

saying, 

All power is given unto me 

in heaven and in earth.

"GOD's WILL prevails."

It has always been a battle of the wills.

Man's puny will challenges GOD's plan, will, and ways.

Again, great error on our part.

On and on the rebellion goes.

And on, and on, we remain defeated.

Again, as if GOD would allow such nonsense.

Only the CREATOR knows the end, from the beginning.

JESUS always obeyed GOD's will.

Prayers can only be answered if it conforms to GOD's will.

What were we really thinking, doing it our way?

All the while refusing GOD's way.

Let Scripture correct our thinking right this moment:

Isaiah 46:10

King James Version

10 Declaring the end from the beginning, 

and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, 

saying, 

My counsel shall stand, 

and I will do all my pleasure:

"We need JESUS."

It's very humbling for unbelievers.

We need JESUS in EVERY aspect of our lives.

Believers embrace our LORD.

In all His divine totality.

We can't do anything -- apart from JESUS.

JESUS says it all:

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.

"We need to be born again."

JESUS commands we be born again.

Only by being born again can we be born of the SPIRIT.

Only through SPIRIT can we be taught about JESUS.

We need SPIRIT so we may discern that which is of GOD.

And that which belongs to the world.

John 3:5-7

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

Galatians 5:16-18

King James Version

16 This I say then, 

Walk in the Spirit, 

and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, 

and the Spirit against the flesh: 

and these are contrary the one to the other: 

so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, 

ye are not under the law.

Even Colonel Douglas MacGregor doesn't believe the world can be "homogenized".

Forget globalism, or uniting races, religion, or economy.

In this fallen world, it is fallen men who rule.

Romans 3:23

King James Version

23 For all have sinned, 

and come short of the glory of God;

We cannot perfect the world, for we are imperfect beings.

Only those who walk with SPIRIT can take the path of holiness.

With that, there is great hope for all.

Because we focus on JESUS alone.

And SPIRIT teaches us.

Until that happens, the world remains confounded.

It's really time to know GOD's truth.
