That sort of thinking was popular way back in the1950’s. Almost every SciFi movie or program has had the same theme. Nothing new.......except that when that kind of “coming together” (globalism) happens, it will be because of the “signs and wonders” produced by the Antichrist and his False Prophet.......and if you’re still here to see that, you have 7 years or less left to Christ’s return and Armeggaddon (sp?).
Read the Book of Revelation and the Book of Daniel in the Bible for a clearer picture.
With everything that we can do today technologically, how many are going to believe in signs and wonders at all, no matter what ‘special effects’ are employed?
We’re already half-doubting just about everything presented to us.
It was popular in the fifties for two reasons.
1. The US has just finished fighting two wars at once, in which Americans put away their differences and united.
2. The Cold War was indeed existential. We lived under the threat of nuclear annihilation, which required that we unite in anti-communism. Which we did, fighting domestic communists.
We didn’t need to read the highly symbolic, ambiguous Revelations to get a clear picture. We lived unity provided by an outside threat.
