MY KINGDOM MOMENTS-- while reading Kingdom Life Magazine Why Our World Needs Another World The Contemporary Case For An Ancient Kingdom Part 1 of 5---7/23/14 From this distance the world looks so peaceful, beautiful and friendly. As I write this I am thirty four thousand feet above the Pacific Ocean on my way to Australia. If only what I see from this perspective was the reality. The aqua-blue shimmering crystal ball of a planet we all call home. Just like a child I dream as I look through the window of my silent flight wondering why there is so much strife, conflict, hatred, contention and warring among the inhabitants of this beautiful planet. Why cant we just live together? What is the source of this perpetual human need to fight, degrade, devalue and destroy his own fellow planet dweller? For fourteen hours of my flight I ponder this age old question and on arrival to my destination, I still wonder! Despite the modern medias preoccupation with sensational issues such as globalization. The DaVinci Code. The New Discoveries of Egyptian Pharaohs, the advancing plight of AIDS, the gathering cloud of the Bird Flu threat, escalating oil prices, and the tipping of the economic scale toward the Asian block, after much contemplation, I am convinced that the greatest conflict of the 21st century world will not be nuclear, economic, political, social, or ethnic but religious. Few would disagree that the global tension intertwined with the many conflicts plaguing our burdened planet today are emitting from the sparks of religious zeal that have spiraled out of control. This religious component is compounded when it is clothed in the power-driven guise of political ideology or nationalistic fervor. In essence, when religion become the state or the sourced of culture, this motivation becomes more difficult to manage.
