International community building is widespread in the current global society, as exemplified by the European Union (EU) and East AsianCommunity (EAC, though this is not yet in existence officially). Such community building accompanies transfer of national sovereignty toa supra-national level. What should be noted here is that the notion of "sovereignty"used to denote"God's sovereignty,"as the Old Testament" declares eloquently. Helped by the humanistic sentiment in the 17th century Europe, political thinker Thomas Hobbes' influential book Leviathan had somewhat relegated God's sovereignty and compartmentalized it within the newly emerging idea of"national sovereignty."Such a change implied "independence" of an autonomous "human economy" without recourse to the"divine economy."Human economy, being only imperfect, is by no means a substitute for the truly omnipotent divine economy, and international communities are facing various unsolvable issues. The divine.economy should always be at the center of the human economy.
