Just thought of something. According to the bible, we can expect, at least at some point, a global government. Now, think about that. What are the benefits for those in control? Access and control of ALL the worlds resource? By having that control over resources, you can therefore ALSO control the people. No obey, no food or whatever resource is wanted.
They control all the resources and presumable all the distribution. The world will be fucked, and the assholes at the top will be living life large at our expense.
