Does Scripture Favour Nationalism or Globalism?

Was a question I was asked earluer this week. The shoort answr is Neither. Scripture does not advocate for any one form of earthly government, much less any of the options presented to us in our times. It DOES, however, give us guidelines as how we should govern ourselves no matter what form of government we find ourselves living under. Our primary allegiance is not to a country, ethnicity or political arty but to a KING. That King is God. Throughout the Old Testament we see exactly what we see today. The King inviting people to live in direct relationship to Him offering us a light yoke.And the peoplerejecting that to choose their ouwn fatally flawed path. In Samuel , the people of Israel reject the rule of Judges ( represented by Samuel at the time) and demand a King like other nations. Samuel warned them in no uncertain terms of the tyranny that will develop. God Himself tells Samuel that they are not rejecting Samuel but Him. Throughout the Old Testament we see that in spite of warnings to follow the true King whose principles ring true even under earthly kings, the Israelites go their own way. .... until they lost their earthly kingdom. First it divided into The 10 northern tribes of Israel and the 2 southern tribes of Judah. Both eventually fell under Foreign rule. During the captivity we see through Daniel and his 3 friends Shadrach, Meschach and Abed-nego , as well as through Esther that regardless of who rules we need to live by God’s ways and this can help us not only to survive, but influence any earthly govt. In the New Testment we were taught how to live under the tyranny of Rome, under which we still live to an extent, insofar as the Roman Empire never was truly destroyed but rather fell apart, and according to prophecy, will be reassembled in even more brutal form at the end of days. Nowhere in the New Testament does it tech us how to be a majority faith but teaches us that through allegiance to Christ the King and what he taught we can be salt and light in a depraved culture that surrounds us, andmaybe even effect some positive change. One thing the scripture warns against is global government run by anyone but Christ. When Nimrod tried to establish the first global government and his people began building the Tower of Babel, He frustrated that attempt, as he did with other attempts throughout history, both biblical and secular. However at the end , he will allow it to come about just as he allowed Israel and Judah to be devoured first by Sennacherib, Shalmeneser and then by Nebuchadnezzar, then by Antiochus and finally by Rome and its system, because they rejected God’s rule . By the power of the Holy Spirit He held back the temporary victory of evil through people who chose to follow Christ. The US constitution is only meant to serve a People who put God first. That is the only self government that works. That which submits to the light yoke of the Holy Spirit. When you make government a higher authority than God it all falls apart.Rights can only come from God, a higher authority than government. when man seeks to supplant God as that authority, what were rights become privileges which exist at the whim and caprice of whoever holds power at a given moment. So once again we are in a time when people have rejected God and are seeking a Nimrod. Once again, they will attempt to build their own Tower of Babel so they can forget God and reach to the heavens by themselves on their own terms. And once again , God will come down and frustrate it. So, the only government the Bible advocates is serving the King Himself, freely in spirit and in truth. All else is evil and fleeting, and will end in disaster for those who try. Sooner or later will will be under global government. First one led by Antichrist which will last about 7 years before being wiped out , with all its evil, and replaced with the rule of Jesus Christ, for those who have chosen Him.
