Rev 21:22-27
Our World Is Not for Sale
I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb (22).
Francis Fukuyama’s theory holds that we have arrived at “the end point of [hu]mankind's ideological evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government." On the other hand , the advocates of the World Social Forum crticizes this ideology and affirm that another and better world through nonviolence criticizes the market ideology of globalization declare that “Our World Is Not for Sale.”
The book of Revelation, gives us a picture of new heaven and new earth, which is not controlled by any particular brand of civilization, but initiated by God and in whose light all people on earth will rejoice, where no evil and darkness have any place and all people will contribute their best towards the future world that God creates. God is against any kind of monopolization of the heaven and earth by any group and the temple of God, the divine being itself, will remain the focus of power and glory. The gates of the new world will be open always as it is no longer a prison, but a free world.
● Let us find shalom in you, Lord, our source of comfort and power, our temple and our city.
●Let us build a new world, not by might, but in the spirit of the Lord.
