Not what you think maybe. Thinking back to shortly after Nixon 'opened the doors' to the 'Chinese market'. The articles I saw read something like this; there were '?business men?' applauding this great potential for new 'consumers' and there were '?critics?' saying we were selling China the rope to hang us with. Then it seems at the time when planning and/or construction was realized for the 3 Gorge's dam that this 'Great Divide' still existed. Attention Walmart shoppers!!! A whole other perspective more at my humble level. Seems to me Walmart would portray themselves in the 'Buy American' camp and yet the shelves had 'lots' of foreign made items. I'm thinking 90's here. An acquaintance, staunch union, is still boycotting Walmart (2022). So which side is God on; Pro or Anti Globalizers? I figure the same side He was on in 1861. Now that I started reading the Bible it seems that in OT times it is clearly indicated which side God was on? Starting in NT times I don't see that there is an preference in this regard? But God is in charge!!!!

Everything comes to pass in due season. The notion is.. to be in the world, but not of it.
A thousand years, is as a day to GOD.

So destiny unfolds and man seeks eternal life through the serpent.

The daily prayer our Lord gave us, use it!

Be reminded and renewed of the Truth.

Be strengthened and comforted as we abide.

Remind yourselves what the devil offered the Lord.. know this, others did not decline the offer!

So let no flag cover your heart and mind.

The Harvest of the world shall come.

The Good News is: everyone can Repent and be saved: John 3:16….

Seek the Truth.

GOD Bless you all.

Now that we are sending SWAT teams to the homes of people who are accused of misdemeanor violations I would like to encourage them to focus on my two pet peeves:

people who take two parking spaces in a parking lot

and

People who double park.

if you typing this on a computer it was probably assembled in China
and maybe the Bible you are reading, if it is a hard copy was probably printed and published in China.

I dont think God is on any 'side' as the world/planet is round last I checked. I think God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son so that whosever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

Whosoever believes!
