Flat World

So, I'm reading an insightful review in Modern Reformation (Nov-Dec issue) of the book, The World is Flat. I read the last paragraph: "In Friedman's world we are evolving to some utopian future state where humanism enabled by technology will deliver us from pre-technology ignorance and deprivations. However, we know that the future history is already written for 'a great multitude that no one can count, from every nation, tribe, people and language' (Rev. 7:9). This represents a 'flat' world and you don't need Google or Yahoo! to discover this truth."

I then read the identity of the article's author: "Brian K. Esterly is a Ruling Elder at Tenth Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Philadelphia and serves as Senior Vice President for Corporate Development with excelleRx. Inc." Hey, I know that guy!
