Throughout history, the idea of an elite ruling class has pervaded empires, kingdoms, and ideologies. Whether through aristocratic lineage, intellectual pedigree, or economic monopoly, some have considered themselves inherently superior—born to lead while others follow. In the modern world, this attitude often hides behind polished philanthropy, corporate language, or globalist vision. But beneath the surface lies a spirit the Bible has long warned about.
Breeding and the Illusion of Superiority
In elite circles, the concept of "breeding" is not merely biological but social and psychological. It defines a class identity passed down by inheritance and reinforced by rituals, education, and networks. Those born into such environments often internalize a sense of security and destiny, even if they rebel against the lifestyle itself. One may leave the ballroom and the polo field, yet still carry the instinct to feel superior to the "plebs."
This attitude, whether overt or disguised as compassion, often reveals itself under pressure. A correction, a disagreement, a challenge—and suddenly the mask slips. The response: "I know better," or more subtly, "I will help you because you cannot help yourself." It is not kindness grounded in equality but pity born of condescension. And it is spiritually dangerous.
David Rockefeller and the Confession of a Global Architect
David Rockefeller embodied this elite spirit without apology. In his memoirs, he wrote:
"Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States... of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure—one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."
He didn’t deny the accusation. He affirmed it with pride. To Rockefeller and his peers, managing the world was not conspiracy but stewardship—a necessary burden for those deemed worthy by breeding, education, and position. What others feared as a New World Order, he considered visionary leadership.
But in God's eyes, such pride is ancient.
The Biblical Pattern: Babel, Babylon, and Beasts
This drive to centralize power and unify humanity apart from God is as old as Babel. The builders of that tower were not merely stacking bricks; they were erecting a spiritual system to "make a name" for themselves and avoid being scattered (Genesis 11). It was rebellion through globalism.
Babylon, later in Scripture, becomes a prophetic archetype. A luxurious, merchant-rich system intoxicated with self-glory (Revelation 18), it seduces kings and crushes the souls of men. It is the mother of harlots, the very emblem of corrupted religion, false unity, and elite-driven empire.
And in the final book, Revelation reveals the culmination: a beast system, empowered by the dragon, demanding conformity. Only those with the mark may buy or sell. The masses are managed. The faithful are marginalized or killed. And at its center is not democracy, compassion, or liberty—but control, surveillance, and worship of the elite's chosen image.
The False Humility of Modern Elitism
The most dangerous elites today do not wear crowns or robes. They smile in conference halls, speak of "sustainability," and call themselves servant leaders. They may even support church programs or humanitarian causes. But the language of "vision casting," "transformation," and "partnerships" often masks a dialectical method of control. Consensus is not sought for truth but for submission. Individual conviction is eroded by groupthink. Compassion becomes a tool for conformity.
This is why the Church must be discerning. Not all unity is holy. Not all collaboration is righteous. The spirit of elitism is seductive. It may help the poor, but it will never regard them as equals. It may partner with churches, but only to steer them into a managed system. And ultimately, it will persecute the saints, not for their failure to comply with worldly agendas, but for their loyalty to the unchanging Word of God.
The Kingdom of God: A Radical Inversion
In contrast, Jesus said:
"The greatest among you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." (Matthew 23:11-12)
The Gospel demolishes elitism. The cross is not a token of global unity but a death blow to pride. The poor, the meek, and the outcast are not the managed class of the Kingdom—they are its pillars. God's order is not hierarchy based on wealth, education, or bloodline. It is a family, where all are adopted and equal before the King.
In these last days, the spirit of elitism will rise. It will masquerade as peace, offer safety, and promise prosperity. But it will demand submission. True believers must recognize it, resist it, and remain loyal to the Lamb, even when the whole world marvels at the beast.
Let the Church be warned: The spirit of elitism is not merely a social problem. It is the scaffolding of the final Babylon.
