If we look at the current geo-political alignments, there seems to be Two world governments. More like NATO vs BRICS, West vs East.
What say you?

Yeah. I'm not sure about a literal "one world government" either. But since you asked...
I read Revelation 18 again, thinking about "one world order", etc., with the phrase "Babylon is fallen". When looking at Babylon the Great, what is described is the entire world economic system. The movie states that individual nations/countries will still exist, but with one overriding authority, or one overriding court system to which all nations will submit. This seems to be feasible, but why or how would the entire world economies be linked or intertwined?
Rev. 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
At around 1:12 the narrator begins a discussion of "
One World, One Internet" with the statement "Whoever controls the Internet, controls the world." When Al Gore invented the Internet (joke) he seemed to put in place the very means to link the economies of the world through electronic banking. With the emergence of digital currency, this would create stronger ties among the world economies. My question about digital currency is "Should the Internet become compromised, or unavailable for some reason, would digital currency still exist?" If so, how? How is digital currency accessed without a fully functional Internet?
Another scary verse Revelation 18:17
For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
One hour? How can Babylon fall in only one hour? How can the economies of the world collapse in only ONE HOUR?
What makes the Internet work? Everyone probably is familiar with an IP address and its format 255.255.255.255 (IPV4). So what's in a number? IP addresses are mapped to a name through a protocol DNS (Domain Name Service). DNS is like a phonebook for the Internet. This DNS "phonebook" is held on "root servers" which are accessible throughout the Internet around the world. Should these DNS root servers become compromised...it would only take one hour...or less...to fulfill Revelation 18:17.
Of course, there are backup root servers, but I think you get the idea. There's a thought "The Internet will NEVER be down". Maybe not, but your access to the Internet can and is periodically compromised. You know this. Does any country have overriding control/authority over the Internet. You betcha. Who? Used to be the US. Not anymore.
Check out location 1:12.
Sorry, Ohio. Long answer.
