• post-Adamic epoch is era of

52:3.10The post-Adamic epoch is the dis­pen­sa­tion of in­ter­na­tion­al­ism. With the near com­ple­tion of the task of race blend­ing, na­tion­al­ism wanes, and the broth­er­hood of man re­ally be­gins to ma­te­ri­al­ize. Rep­re­sen­ta­tive gov­ern­ment be­gins to take the place of the monar­chial or pa­ter­nal form of ruler­ship. The ed­u­ca­tional sys­tem be­comes world-wide, and grad­u­ally the lan­guages of the races give way to the tongue of the vi­o­let peo­ple. Uni­ver­sal peace and co-op­er­a­tion are sel­dom at­tained un­til the races are fairly well blended, and un­til they speak a com­mon lan­guage.

• should be fostered in language, trade, sports, religion

81:6.19While very lit­tle prog­ress has been made on Uran­tia to­ward de­vel­op­ing an in­ter­na­tional lan­guage, much has been ac­com­plished by the es­tab­lish­ment of in­ter­na­tional com­mer­cial ex­change. And all these in­ter­na­tional re­la­tions should be fos­tered, whether they in­volve lan­guage, trade, art, sci­ence, com­pet­i­tive play, or re­li­gion.

• can never bring permanent peace

134:5.10Uran­tia will not en­joy last­ing peace un­til the so-called sov­er­eign na­tions in­tel­li­gently and fully sur­ren­der their sov­er­eign pow­ers into the hands of the broth­er­hood of men—man­kind gov­ern­ment. In­ter­na­tion­al­ism—Leagues of Na­tions—can never bring per­ma­nent peace to man­kind. World-wide con­fed­er­a­tions of na­tions will ef­fec­tively pre­vent mi­nor wars and ac­cept­ably con­trol the smaller na­tions, but they will not pre­vent world wars nor con­trol the three, four, or five most pow­er­ful gov­ern­ments. In the face of real con­flicts, one of these world pow­ers will with­draw from the League and de­clare war. You can­not pre­vent na­tions go­ing to war as long as they re­main in­fected with the delu­sional virus of na­tional sov­er­eignty. In­ter­na­tion­al­ism is a step in the right di­rec­tion. An in­ter­na­tional po­lice force will pre­vent many mi­nor wars, but it will not be ef­fec­tive in pre­vent­ing ma­jor wars, con­flicts be­tween the great mil­i­tary gov­ern­ments of earth.
