The Living Force
I came across this in this in Appendix E of Bill Cooper's book, "Behold, A Pale Horse" To fully appreciate the hubris, keep in mind that these comments were made when Israel was just a fledgling new nation 14 years old! Also note how many of Ben-Gurion's predictions have come true -- not so amazing when one consider the predictors are also the perpetrators.
In a 1962 Look Magazine interview, David
Ben-Gurion, the Prime Minister of Israel,
forecast a “Supreme Court of Mankind”
ruling the nations from Jerusalem.
"The image of the world in 1987 as traced in my imagination:
The Cold War will be a thing of the past. Internal pressure of the constantly growing intelligentsia in Russia for more freedom and the pressure of the masses for raising their living standards may lead to a gradual democratization of the Soviet Union.
On the other hand, the increasing influence of the workers and farmers, and the rising political importance of men of science, may transform the United States into a welfare state with a planned economy.
Western and Eastern Europe will become a federation of autonomous states having a Socialist and democratic regime.
With the exception of the USSR as a federated Eurasian state, all other continents will become united in a world alliance at whose disposal will be an international police force. All armies will be abolished, and there will be no more wars.
In Jerusalem, the United Nations (a truly United Nations) will build a Shrine of the Prophets to serve the federated union of all continents; this will be the seat of the Supreme Court of Mankind, to settle all controversies among the federated continents, as prophesied by Isaiah.”
