[QUOTE="philadelphos, post: 76613153, member: 420433"] God's people are chosen to be separate, holy, and fit for his purpose. All things of the past point to a future kingdom, a new creation, restored kingdoms on earth, and a new Jerusalem. To hope. When countries claim (signal) to be a utopia it conflicts with this, misleading those who trust completely in government and the public narrative, when this fallen world is full of thorns and thistles. This is the paradox/hypocrisy I sense in Scandinavian ideology. -- I'm trying to take it with a grain of salt. Russia and USA are vying for use of Greenland for military positioning, so if the Ukraine conflict escalates there may be a repeat of WW2 similar to how Hitler invaded Denmark and Norway. Same for Napoleon conquering Europe. Perhaps US influence in the region is already indicating this, hence drastic change in recent decades. "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." (1 John 2:15-17) "For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth. ... But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more." (Psalm 71:5, 14) [/QUOTE]
