The urgency of seeing our world come together in the 21st century is driven by the important task of avoiding the unfavorable transition outlined by the two most widely influential and recognized paradigms in the west concerning humanity's fate. The first is the Biblical paradigm. In its outline for the near future, our civilization is a doomed entity. Nothing can stop the Earth's blinded leaders from pushing us beyond the point of no return. They perpetuate business as usual preparing for the next world war and then wage it. The only thing that saves us from destroying more than a third of humanity is a transformed super Jesus who returns to help us build a united world at peace, because we failed to achieve it on our own.

A unified end state of human governance finds compelling models in the successful cooperation between America's states, the nations of the European Union and many other countries of the world who have held peace within their borders for extended periods of time.

In the U.S., war hasn't been waged within its borders for over a century. Citizens in California have never paid taxes to engage in a costly nuclear arms race with Montana and Alaska. Californians spend nothing to maintain a golden state military or to finance a war on terror against religious fanatics in Kentucky. Alliances with New York, New England and the other states are still strong considering that billions of dollars have been freed up on the west coast; they never had to engage in an unpopular and costly invasion of New Orleans to take out a brutal dictator feared to have weapons of mass destruction. The explosion of creativity, progress in science, technology and infrastructure in the United States over the last 100 years was made possible by its people being united and members of one national family.

The significance of these models will only be realized if they lead us to cooperate with the international community and build closer alliances for making plans of a brighter future as a united states of earth. Just as Americans owe their prosperity and freedom to the founding fathers and mothers, who responded to the call of a great nation whose destiny they anticipated; future generations of our coming one world, are waiting on us to become vehicles of its fruition.
