Kingdom of God vs. Kingdoms of the world
31 Dec '14 12:03Jesus once said that his kingdom was not of this world. So what is his "kingdom"?
We must first look at the kingdoms of the world to assess what exactly the kingdom of God is not. I will focus on the modern kingdoms of this world we have today as well as of recent memory.
What are the characteristics of the kingdoms of this world?
1. Some brand of collectivism is employed. Each of the modern day kingdoms of the world depend upon some form of collectivism. This is because collectivism brings power. Man seeks power and as we know Biblically, power corrupts no matter how many times you deny that your peeps in power are immune to it. In fact, the more centralized power becomes, the more corrupt the said leaders become. There is no getting around it.
2. Military conquest. Those that employ collectivism and seek power also seek world conquering military might. Naturally, in this Satanic world of man held power, military might is a necessity, much like it was to ancient Rome and the rest. Collectivism seems to be the only way to achieve this power looking at previous world powers like Hitler, Stalin, and yes, the modern day US, for it was men like Woodrow Wilson and FDR who sought to centralize power within the US and transform the US into a world military machine. In fact, the US now has troops in over 70 countries around the world, something men like Hitler and Stalin could only dream about.
3. Of course, after the advent of Christ coming into the world, world governments have changed a bit. Now those collectivist powers seem to feign support for the poor, the weak, the down trodden. Hitler employed socialist programs for the average German as he provided them free everything including health care, education, welfare etc. This is because the Nazi party understood that they needed a certain amount of support from their citizens in order to maintain power, and it worked. The German people did not revolt as they had done in World War 1. In fact, the average German enjoyed a standard of living above that of their Allied counterparts. To achieve this, collectivists must rely on large pots of money, any way they can create them. They then divert this money to two things, redistribution for the "poor" and the military.
4. Genocide. Yep, the blood of innocents is the lubricant that help keep the engine running of these Luciferian world governments. With the Nazi regime, they stole money from the Jews and murdered them as well as declaring war on the top 4% in Germany. They also stole from conquered lands and encouraged those conquered territories to stabilize their ravaged economies by rounding up Jews and taking their gold. Stalin had his own version of this. as he killed far more people for political reasons. And the US is no different as it has murdered well over 50 million unborn children, all in the name of financial convenience. As a side note, it is interesting that Jesus said that the blood of the prophets was on the hands of the Jewish leaders throughout history. This type of murderous lust is seen no matter where you turn it seems.
