Thinking Cap # 18 - The Question: World Domination.

With this the 50th anniversary year of victory in World War II, a lot of focus has been given to the struggle in Europe during that time. While from a Theistic point of view, Hitler was wrong (although our Humanist friends would have to eat crow as Hitler was living out their view of ethics in the extreme), one does have to ask the question as to the position of the Jews in society. Are they indeed to be the working class. Are the "gentiles" supposed to be the leaders. I'd enjoy hearing your thots (with supporting Scripture) by Friday, September 22.

This was a more puzzling question, or else it was not stated very clearly, or perhaps everyone is very busy. In any event, only Martin took a shot at it.

Here for what it is worth is how I would address the concept of world domination.

Our marching orders come from the Noahic Covenant (Gen. 9:1-27). This covers man's relationship to the world after the flood. Noah declared that the Messianic line would come through Shem, that world power would come to rest in the hands of Japheth, that ultimately the Japhetic peoples would become beneficiaries of spiritual blessings brought by the Semitic family to the world, and that the Canaanite races would come under special curse of God. In due time all that Noah foresaw came to pass. The descendants of Shem have given the world the Bible, the Savior, and the rich spiritual blessings of the Church. The descendants of Japheth (Aryan races) have been the world's active explorers and empire-builders. With the fall of Belshazzar, world power passed into Japhetic hands, where it has been ever since and where it will remain until Gentile power comes in its dreadful climax under the Beast. Canaanite races have struggled under bondage and servanthood to this day. How has all this come to pass?

Pleasant Thinking,
