Will there be a one world government? The Bible says yes!
So is what Michele Bachmann spoke about a push for a one world system ever going to come true? I am afraid the answers is yes--according to the Bible. In fact, the desire to be one world, one people, one government is not a new idea, but actually is a very ancient one. Where you may say? Look at Genesis 11:1-9:
Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. 2 And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. 3 And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. 4 Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth." 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. 6 And the LORD said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech." 8 So the LORD dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. 9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. And from there the LORD dispersed them over the face of all the earth.
Here is the passage whereby we learn how historically languages came about. At this point in history, the world was one people--decedents of Noah and his family. These offspring were commanded by the Lord to scatter over the whole earth and subdue it (Genesis 9:1). This is a repeat of the command given by the Lord to Adam and Eve in Genesis 1:28. Did the people obey the voice of the Lord? The answer is no. Here we find in Genesis 11 that the people came together in the Land of Shinar (To learn more where the Land of Shinar is see: Where in the World Is the Tower of Babel?) with the purpose to build a city, to make a name so they will not be dispersed over the whole earth.
Concerning the oneness of humanity, notice what God says in verse 6--remember God is not a man that He should lie (Numbers 23:19)! God says that when humanity is one, they will accomplish whatever they purpose! You may say, "What is the danger of that?" The danger is a one world together will leave out the Creator who made them in His image (Genesis 1:26-27). You and I were created for the purpose to give God glory (Revelation 4:11). On the other hand, the people at the tower of Babel were full of pride and set on directing humanity on a path to totally forget God. Here is what the ESV study Bible states about the passage of Genesis 11:1-9:

Here is what the ESV study Bible states about the passage of Genesis 11:1-9:
This episode is significantly more important than its length suggests. It presents a unified humanity using all its resources to establish a city that is the antithesis of what God intended when he created the world. The tower is a symbol of human autonomy, and the city builders see themselves as determining and establishing their own destiny without any reference to the Lord.
Did the confusion of the language by the LORD God at the Tower of Babel totally destroy the Devil's attempt (for the Devil is the instigator of the one world movement) to get humanity to totally forget God? The answer is no--it just greatly set back the Devil's effort. The Devil continually today seeks to get humanity to be one so there will be no need to trust and worship their Creator. For example, could it not be that the effort today in America to get people every where to accept molecular to man Evolution as fact really be a means of the Devil to get people to forget about God?
Getting people to forget about God is not the only purpose of the Devil. His ultimate goal is to get the whole world to look to him as being their god. This is why the push today for a one world system is so dangerous because the end goal is people will forget their Creator and will end up worshiping the Devil. One day humanity, for a short period of time according to the Bible ( see Revelation 13: 1-18), will worship the Devil and his earthly representative the Anti-Christ (called also Man of Lawlessness, the Beast in the NT). This will happen in the future after the Church is gone (2 Thessalonians 2:7) and before the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth a second time (2 Thessalonians 2:1-12; Revelation 19:1-21).
Yet, despite this apparent victory of a one world system headed by the Devil, the Lord Jesus Christ will return to earth a second time to rightfully claim the world as His own--and no one will be able to stop the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords (Joel 2:1-11; Revelation 19:11-16). From this point of time forward there will be a new one world government, but this time with Jesus Christ as the King (Isaiah 9:6-7; Daniel 2:44; Zechariah 14:1-9). All the world will worship Jesus Christ! His kingdom will be a kingdom of peace, fulfilling all the promises He made to Abraham, King David and the people of Israel (Isaiah 11:1-10; Joel 3: 1-21; Zephaniah 3:8-20). What the Bible records for us will happen and I believe that what we are seeing today in our world is a precursor to these future events that will come.
In closing, my question to you is, "Are you looking for a one world government whereby the world is one without God, or are you looking for a one world government with Jesus Christ ruling?" Your answer gives indication of your heart and whom you love (1 John 2:15-17). If you choose to love the world, know this--you will stand before the Lord Jesus Christ one day and will confess Him as Lord (Philippians 2: 5-11), but it will be too late for you to have your sins forgiven. Rather than face that fateful day of judgement, why not come now and confess Jesus Christ as Lord and have a new heart (John 3:7) and receive eternal life that will last forever with joy (John 3:36).
I finish with the final chapter of the Bible:

I finish with the final chapter of the Bible:
Revelation 22:1-21 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever. 6 And he said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place." 7 "And behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book." 8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, 9 but he said to me, "You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God." 10 And he said to me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. 11 Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy." 12 "Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay everyone for what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." 14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. 15 Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. 16 "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star." 17 The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price. 18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. 20 He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! 21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.
Maranatha!
