05/27/26 WHICH KINGDOM?
God instituted Human Government in the days of Noah to establish and maintain civil order. God's directive to human government is to protect the law-abiding and punish the lawbreaker. God has given the sword of steel to the State for this purpose. God reiterated this truth through the Apostle Paul in Romans 13. He did not give this responsibility to the Church.
I am in my 80th year, and this is the most aggressive President I have seen who puts America before other countries (while making the world a better place to live in). The Trump Administration has also done more to protect our young people from drugs, our borders from invaders, our streets from rioters, and our nation from terrorists, our churches and families from oppression, and our freedom from overthrow by blood thirsty pagans than I have ever seen in any other Administration. This is not an endorsement of the personal life of the President. It is a political and social observation.
Trump has recovered the world's respect, after we have been shamed by corrupt, mindless and spineless policies of previous Presidents. The policies of this Administration have also made the world a safer place at the present time. We now have a President who stands in the way of the most dangerous and volatile regime we have faced since WW2, and based on its capability and willingness to launch a nuclear war. A few other countries have been much larger, much stronger, much richer, and wars have taken more lives, but Iran's leaders have actually been killing and threatening Americans, and our allies, for almost 50 years (without American reprisal), plus they are able and willing to build and launch nuclear weapons against America, Israel, and even their Muslim allies. They are driven by an end-times apocalyptic vision, which would bring international destruction in order to fulfill their warped view of religion.
We have also seen this Administration present policies and actions against international aggression and domestic corruption that should have been enacted for decades. But America's rejection of the God of the Bible, and the embrace of Socialism, Paganism, Humanism, Hedonism, Materialism, Statism are sabotaging any leaning toward nationwide repentance that could eventuate.
We don't know what will happen from day to day concerning peace in the Middle East or on the homefront. Europe and Africa are suffering and folding under the corrosive invasion from the blood thirsty thugs and pirates that came into our world 1400 years ago, and that band of criminals is taking aggressive steps to replace American freedom and faith with Sharia Law.
We know that the kingdoms of this world will not bring peace. The Bible clearly tells us that Persia will survive and will be part of a deadly alliance in the end-times. Remember, their mantra has been, "Death to America and Death to Israel."
All of the money, all of the weaponry, all of the diplomacy, all of the treaties that will be used by America to bring about good, will not prevent the One World Government, the One World Economy, the One World Religion, the final Anti-Christ from coming on the world scene.
Yes, we should pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and for the repentance of America, and the free countries of the world should withstand the wicked oppressors of the world, but our only hope for ourselves and our families and for a lost world is a personal relationship, a spiritual transformation that can only be found through Christ and His word.
We should do what God wants us to do, publicly and politically, but never forget that this life, this world is but a vapor. Find and commit yourself to the eternal God, Jesus Christ. Don't waste your energies, hopes, abilities on that which is passing away. Spend and be spent for Jesus. Seek the lost, do not think you can raise the dead corpse of worldly politics, principles and powers.
This barely scratches the surface of what we are facing, and sad to say, men are not turning to the Sword of the Spirit; they are trusting in the arm of flesh, they are trembling and falling before the powers of darkness. Even though the masses will not turn to Christ in these times, you have the choice, the opportunity to turn while God is calling you.
