WHAT DOES THE WORLD NEEDSTODAY?

- Rev. F. Hrângkhuma Ph.D

Where are we in world history? Are we heading toward a brightfuture or a gloomy future? Is the world heading towards its end? Isthe world better? As I sit in my office at South Asia Institute of Advanced Christian Studies (SAIACS), and casually look at several books I wish I have time to read. I read few pages of some booksonly, the other I glanced through the contents. Some I have studied alittle bit more than others. Time! Oh, How I wish I have 48 hours aday and the energy of some three men, sometime! And there are somany things to do in the world. Sometimes I wish I am ten men!Alvin Toffler's

The Third Wave

(1980)

and

Power Shift

(1991); PaulKennedy's

Preparing for the Twenty-first Century

(1993) and ThomasL. Friedman's

The World is Flat

(2006) are some of the secular booksthat help me view some World history. I also look into someChristian books, which I read a little bit here and there only. Thoseincludes Anthony A. Hoekema’s

The Bible and The Future

(1979);Ben Witherington III’s

Jesus, Paul and the End of the World

(1992);Hal Lindsey’s

There’s A New World Coming

(1973); JosephPathrapankal’s

Time and History

(2002); and P.C. Biaksiama’s

KumSang Lalram

(2002). Without careful research I penned the followingreflection hoping that some may want to reflect a bit more and ask – What are the needs of the world at this hour?Alvin Toffler looks at the future with optimism.

The third Wave

isfor those who think human story, far from ending, has only just begun. He says that we are in the third wave of civilization, and new potentials arise everyday. He believes that the emergent civilization inwhich we are now living can be made more sane, sensible, andsustainable, more decent and more democratic than any we have ever known. Would ecologists agree with him?

In Power Shift

, Toffler concludes that the world will soon be divided into fast and slowcountries (nations), not as South and North, or West and East.According to Friedman, there have been three stages of globalization. The first lasted from 1492 when Columbus sailed to goto India crossing the Atlantic Ocean, but instead discovered theAmerican continent, to around 1800. This is globalization 1.0. It isabout muscle power, how much you can harness natural power including, at the later stage steam power and how creatively you candeploy those powers. The size of the world was reduced from largesize to medium size. The questions were how does my country fit intoglobal competition and opportunities? How can I go global andcollaborate with others through my country?

The second globalization lasted till around 2000. It reduced thesize of the world from medium to small. This is globalization 2.0.The key agent of change, the dynamic force driving globalintegration, has been multinational companies. During the last decadeof the twentieth century, continues Friedman, there arose ten forcesthat flatten the globe, ushering us into globalization 3.0. Thisglobalization 3.0 reduces the world from small size to tiny, at thesame time flattening the world. He says that the flat-world-platform isthe product of a convergence of the personal computer with fiber-optic cable with the rise of work force software. The world of thetwenty-first century is becoming tiny. What does this mean to me as aChristian Minister? Knowledge is now at the tips of our fingers, andknowledge is power. And this knowledge can be used for good andfor bad. Now we are living in a very fast changing world in thetwenty-first century. And the world, according to these historians,will go on, and the implication is that, the world will become better and better.The Christian view of history however, is different. In the midst of diverse interpretations of Biblical future, there is a line in which allagree. God is the God of history. He is in control. Under theAuthority of God, time (history) is moving toward a definite goal.And the end is not far off. Almost all the signs of the end time predicted in the Bible have been fulfilled. Jesus is coming again, andthe present world that we know of, will come to an end. A new worldwill be inaugurated by Jesus Himself! And two of the signs of thenearness of the end time are confusion and moral decline. In the midstscientific progress and economic improvement for the richer, there isterrible moral decline.We can not deny the fact that the world is moving toward thefuture. Some see bright future whereas some see doom andcatastrophe. Wars and natural disaster increase at a rapid pace. Therich are getting richer definitely and there are lots of positive growthsin the world. But at the same time, the poor are poorer and thenumber of the poor do not decrease, but increase. Troublesomediseases increase. Terrorist groups increase. The power of humanityincrease tremendously but morality definitely decline rapidly. SameSex marriage, a thing unknown in the past, condemned by everyoneirrespective of religions, is now accepted by an increasing number of people and made legal by several governments. In the midst of all of these, individuals, you and me, are moving, heart beat by heart beat,toward that inevitable place – the grave or the end of the world. It can be at any moment! Our lives are like a mist, like a grass, they are souncertain, it can be any moment, any place.From Friedman's view point, the world is flat, and it is growing better. The ecologists and sociologists will see a different worldaltogether. Due to human greed which never says enough, and theunwise use of the natural resources and the many technologicalinventions to make life more easy and enjoyable, the naturalresources dwindle drastically. We have been disturbing the eco-system and justice. The result is global warming. We have pollutedthe water and air, eroded the soil, depleted the forest and reducedmany thousands of living things to near extinction.

We have made our world a dangerous place to live in the midst of tremendous progress scientifically. At the same time, thoseavailable knowledge and power are in the hands of individuals of all sorts. That is the power at hand could be used by people whodo not respect human life – terrorists. Human sins in the forms of greed have increased that promote all sorts of trade at the expenseof other human beings – drug and human trafficking, with all theaccompaniment of evils. While more people are becoming rich,more people are still poor and the gap between the rich and the poor increase. Human sufferings increase with incurable diseaseslike HIV/AIDS. Now the H1N1 pandemic is covering the wholewide world.What does this rapid changing world need? As the worldrushes toward the future, the tremendous scientific technologicaland economic progress badly colored mixed with moral decline – the increase of the destitute and the many social and sexual ills of the world, we can not forget for a moment, the cry of many for meaning and purpose. People cry for reality. Yes, they cry for salvation. In spite of the fact that almost all the nations of theworld have been reached with the blessed gospel of Jesus Christ,millions are still without the salvation that is in Jesus Christ.Many people groups still do not name the Name of Christ! In themidst of these, what does the world need? It needs, among manyother things, a better you! Joel Osteen, the Pastor of LakewoodChurch, Houston, Texas, says, “No matter where you are in life,you can be better.” (

Become a Better You,

2007).I believe God has given me this desire to become a better methis year, and I cannot but share with you. Become a better you athome, at work, at college and school, everywhere. Become a better husband/wife, sister/brother and friend. Become a better person for the kingdom of God. How can we become better?First, improve your relationship with God. This is the key to life.Submit to Him in faith and learn to love Him with your total being (Deut. 6:4-9; Mat. 22:37). Let this be your dailyexperience. Next, improve your relationship with your neighbors,other people. This again, is the key to living. “Love your neighbors as yourself” (Lev. 19:18; Mat. 22:39). True love, biblical love, pure love, never does anybody wrong. Love is the best way of life. It is the fulfillment of God’s law (Rom. 13:8-10). Next, improve your relationship with the creation whichforms your earthly environment without which we can not live.As much as it is in your power, care for it, protect it, develop itand control it for good. Let us not be a party to the destruction of our environment (Gen. 1:26-31). God created the world andeverything in it. And he has given the earth for human being tocare (Gen. 2:15). The Bible says, “The heavens are the Lord’sheavens, but the earth he has given to human beings” (Ps.115:16). This is our earth. God has given us. Let us not be itsdestroyer, but its preserver!Then, do not bring your garbage of yesterday with youtoday. Leave them behind. Forget them no matter what. Let notyour past disturb you anymore. Look forward to the goal for …which God calls you (Phi. 3:12-15).Then develop healthy habits. Disciplineyour mind and body. Think of good and beautiful things (Phil. 4:8-9). Dospiritual exercise everyday. Read theBible and pray every day. It’s as simpleas that. If you do these faithfully, youcan not but be better. The world needsa better you. And so be a better you beginning from today.------------------------------------------------
