[Armageddon]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('POAlex', 'T')yler,

In our world, nations are in place to keep checks and balances. When the leader of one nation gets out of hand, like in World War II, other nations step in to stop it.

A nationless world government, lead by any person or group of people is by default going to become corrupt and turn into a dictatorship because people are born with a sinful nature and ultimately the checks and balances will have been diminished if not completely removed.

The day will come when one man will rule this world. He may come as a man of peace but he will ultimately prove to be the most wicked man in history.

Nonetheless, there is a true world government coming that will work perfectly under one condition - it will be lead by the Lord Jesus Christ.

There is NOT going to be a one world government. The passing of Peak Oil precludes any type of world government from coming into being. A one world government would represent an increase in social complexity of many orders of magnitude. The energy to facilitate that increase in complexity just does not exist. The entropy associated with peak oil runs counter to any increases in complexity.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('RedStateGreen', 'P')roblem is, for a global government you need the energy to maintain it. Police, fire, water, military, transport of food, etc.

Assuming someone really does want to "try and take over the world" ... how exactly are they going to run it with declining oil? That's the sort of thinking that led to the breakup of the Soviet Union and is contributing to the far rural areas in China doing whatever they please. There's no way to enforce things when you can't get to them.

So I wouldn't worry too much about that. It's another boondoggle.
