Global culture works as a collective force and imposes their will, but Jesus is the Door of the sheep.

• Global culture works as one without breaking ranks.
• Global culture do as they please in every city around the world.

Global culture works as one without breaking ranks. “They run like mighty men, they climb the wall like men of war; Every one marches in formation, and they do not break ranks. They do not push one another; Every one marches in his own column. Though they lunge between the weapons, they are not cut down.” Joel 2:7-8

The phrase, “being on the same sheet of music” is equivalent to marching in formation without breaking ranks, having a common understanding or agreement. The global culture is synchronized by the thing that gives them what to think, feel, act, and speak. They are empowered with extraordinary knowledge, intuition, and so on. They can follow the same direction without deviating from person to person. They have a sense of knowing and seeing beyond the ordinary. A common phrase they use is, “I see” or “I know”.

The fact that everyone marches in their own column without pushing others shows that they respect each others’ boundaries. This is possible because everyone in the global culture lets the image of the beast influence their feelings, thoughts, words and behaviors. They remain within their limits according to their life status defined by the mark of the beast through their words and actions.

With a unified global culture “marching in formation”, the global government can advance smoothly without any hindrance. They appear and feel unstoppable and formidable. “They run like mighty men, they climb the wall like men of war… Though they lunge between the weapons, they are not cut down. ”

Global culture do as they please in every city around the world. “They run to and fro in the city, they run on the wall; They climb into the houses, they enter at the windows like a thief.” Joel 2:9

The global culture imposes its will on nations and cultures worldwide. It does not respect any boundaries or territories, but invades the spaces of those who resist its influence. They roam freely in every city, doing as they please. They climb over the walls that separate them from the non-conformists, asserting dominance. They disregard the privacy and property of those who are outside its social network. They claim the world as their own and challenges anyone who opposes their authority.

“Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who ever came  before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:7-10

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
