My point is this: For all the talk of a new world order, it’s simply the old world order. The politicians had no right to steal that phrase, especially when there is nothing new about it! The new world order—the Reign of God—is the heart of the New Testament, and it’s a phrase to be taken seriously. Yet we have failed to understand the coming of Jesus as the dawn of a new age. For most Christians, life in the new age has been business as usual.
