Genesis 11:4
King James Version
4 And they said,
Go to,
let us build us a city and a tower,
whose top may reach unto heaven;
and let us make us a name,
lest we be scattered abroad
upon the face of the whole earth.
From "What's with 2030?" we learned of man's plans.
With proponents coming from organizations, institutions, and nations.
Now, we also asked a question from that post:
"Will these bear fruit?"
We also ask you a question:
"What do you think?"
If you're born again, the answer is clear.
We present Scripture to you.
Scripture has all the answers.
As always, we let the WORD of GOD do the speaking.
Here's how you'll know if the world's plans will pan out.
It's the principle behind the plans that matter.
As well as the intent of the people behind the plans.
All are laid bare before GOD:

Of course, Scripture has much more to say about man's plans.
If they be sound, or not.
If it be of GOD, or not.
For now, we look to the UN's 17 goals for sustainable development.
That will be third in this series.
