According to Britannica Online Encyclopedia, "Globalization is the process by which the experience of everyday life, marked by the diffusion of commodities and ideas, is becoming standardized around the world. Factors that have contributed to globalization include increasingly sophisticated communications and transportation technologies and services, mass migration and the movement of peoples…."2
In today's highly sophisticated world, globalization has increasingly become a buzz word, not only at the business level, but also at the political and religious levels. Besides the push for a global economy, we are bound to see in the days ahead a push also for a global government, and a global religion.
According to God's Word, the Bible, in the end times of this world age when the Antichrist arrives, he will control a one-world government and a one-world religion—besides a one-world economy where people won't be able to purchase any goods without the mark of the beast [the Antichrist]. With all that is happening in today's world, it certainly appears that the stage for the coming Antichrist is being set up at an accelerated rate.
Because of this, however, what is needed right now more than anything else is a Global Gospel Outreach. Let us remember that Jesus commissioned his disciples saying, "Go into all the world and preach [communicate] the Good News [the gospel message] to everyone."1
Let us also realize that without accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior, people all around the world are lost—eternally. Furthermore, because somebody introduced you and me to Jesus Christ, let us make certain that you and I do everything in our power, with God's help, to introduce others to Jesus Christ for he is the only hope for saving lost mankind. As Jesus also said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father [God] except through me."3
