WHAT DOES THE WORLD NEEDS TODAY? - Rev. F. Hrângkhuma Ph.D Where are we in world history? Are we heading toward a bright future or a gloomy future? Is the world heading towards its end? Is the 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 books only, the other I glanced through the contents. Some I have studied a little bit more than others. Time! Oh, How I wish I have 48 hours a day and the energy of some three men, sometime! And there are so many things to do in the world. Sometimes I wish I am ten men! Alvin Toffler's The Third Wave (1980) and Power Shift (1991); Paul Kennedy's Preparing for the Twenty-first Century (1993) and Thomas L. Friedman's The World is Flat (2006) are some of the secular books that help me view some World history. I also look into some Christian books, which I read a little bit here and there only. Those includes 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); Joseph Pathrapankal’s Time and History (2002); and P.C. Biaksiama’s Kum Sang Lalram (2002). Without careful research I penned the following reflection 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 is for 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 in which we are now living can be made more sane, sensible, and sustainable, 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 slow countries (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 go to India crossing the Atlantic Ocean, but instead discovered the American continent, to around 1800. This is globalization 1.0. It is about muscle power, how much you can harness natural power including, at the later stage steam power and how creatively you can deploy those powers. The size of the world was reduced from large size to medium size. The questions were how does my country fit into global competition and opportunities? How can I go global and collaborate with others through my country? (…contd on p-2)

(…contd from p-1) The second globalization lasted till around 2000. It reduced the size of the world from medium to small. This is globalization 2.0. The key agent of change, the dynamic force driving global integration, has been multinational companies. During the last decade of the twentieth century, continues Friedman, there arose ten forces that flatten the globe, ushering us into globalization 3.0. This globalization 3.0 reduces the world from small size to tiny, at the same time flattening the world. He says that the flat-world-platform is the product of a convergence of the personal computer with fiberoptic cable with the rise of work force software. The world of the twenty-first century is becoming tiny. What does this mean to me as a Christian Minister? Knowledge is now at the tips of our fingers, and knowledge is power. And this knowledge can be used for good and for bad. Now we are living in a very fast changing world in the twenty-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 all agree. God is the God of history. He is in control. Under the Authority 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, and the present world that we know of, will come to an end. A new world will be inaugurated by Jesus Himself! And two of the signs of the nearness of the end time are confusion and moral decline. In the midst scientific progress and economic improvement for the richer, there is terrible moral decline. We can not deny the fact that the world is moving toward the future. Some see bright future whereas some see doom and catastrophe. Wars and natural disaster increase at a rapid pace. The rich are getting richer definitely and there are lots of positive growths in the world. But at the same time, the poor are poorer and the number of the poor do not decrease, but increase. Troublesome diseases increase. Terrorist groups increase. The power of humanity increase tremendously but morality definitely decline rapidly. Same Sex marriage, a thing unknown in the past, condemned by everyone irrespective 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 so uncertain, 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 world altogether. Due to human greed which never says enough, and the unwise use of the natural resources and the many technological inventions to make life more easy and enjoyable, the natural resources dwindle drastically. We have been disturbing the ecosystem and justice. The result is global warming. We have polluted the water and air, eroded the soil, depleted the forest and reduced many thousands of living things to near extinction. (…contd on p-3)

(…contd from p-3) We have made our world a dangerous place to live in the midst of tremendous progress scientifically. At the same time, those available knowledge and power are in the hands of individuals of all sorts. That is the power at hand could be used by people who do not respect human life – terrorists. Human sins in the forms of greed have increased that promote all sorts of trade at the expense of other human beings – drug and human trafficking, with all the accompaniment 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 diseases like HIV/AIDS. Now the H1N1 pandemic is covering the whole wide world. What does this rapid changing world need? As the world rushes toward the future, the tremendous scientific technological and 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 the world 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 the midst of these, what does the world need? It needs, among many other things, a better you! Joel Osteen, the Pastor of Lakewood Church, 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 me this year, and I cannot but share with you. Become a better you at home, 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 daily experience. 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. 13:810). Next, improve your relationship with the creation which forms your earthly environment without which we can not live. As much as it is in your power, care for it, protect it, develop it and control it for good. Let us not be a party to the destruction of our environment (Gen. 1:26-31). God created the world and everything in it. And he has given the earth for human being to care (Gen. 2:15). The Bible says, “The heavens are the Lord’s heavens, but the earth he has given to human beings” (Ps. 115:16). This is our earth. God has given us. Let us not be its destroyer, but its preserver! Then, do not bring your garbage of yesterday with you today. Leave them behind. Forget them no matter what. Let not

your past disturb you anymore. Look forward to the goal for … which God calls you (Phi. 3:12-15). Then develop healthy habits. Discipline your mind and body. Think of good and beautiful things (Phil. 4:8-9). Do spiritual exercise everyday. Read the Bible and pray every day. It’s as simple as that. If you do these faithfully, you can not but be better. The world needs a better you. And so be a better you beginning from today. -----------------------------------------------MIZORAM CHANCHINTHAR ## Bru National Army (BNA)-ten Mizo tlangval an kaphlum.
