Jesus' Plan for a New World - Richard Rohr

When Jesus talked about the Kingdom of God, he was talking about
an utterly different way of relating to human society as we know
it. He was talking about a new world order, a term recently on
the lips of politicians. What a false sense of the term they have
used, contends popular preacher and author Richard Rohr. "I
doubt that any major political leader would align a new world
order in terms of cooperation, trust, service and redemptive suffering,"
writes Rohr. "For all the talk of a new world order, it's
simply the old world order. The 'New World Order,' or the 'Reign
of God,' is the heart of the New Testament.".
