Kingdom Disciples

Only God’s Kingdom will prevail and endure forever. All other political powers are transitory. Already they are passing away . Despite human pretensions, History demonstrates without exception the impermanence of political power and governments. Rome endured for a thousand years, but the Empire fell all the same. Like life, political power is fleeting, and regimes often collapse quickly and unexpectedly when their allotted time expires. Only the “ Kingdom of God ” will endure. Disciples of Jesus must decide today whom they will serve.

The Beast of Revelation is the embodiment of the ancient power that has been stalking the saints since the fall of Adam . History repeats itself. It is littered with past efforts by tyrants and regimes to dominate the Earth. Each may experience some success, but so far, every empire that has appointed itself sovereign over humanity has floundered in the end. For example, the kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar and Caesar’s imperial realm both ceased to exist thousands of years ago.

The God of Israel, changes the times and seasons, removes kings, and sets up kings to achieve His purposes . Many church leaders exhort their members to work diligently for the election of politicians of whom they approve, claiming it is God’s will to do so as well as their “Christian duty.” They warn of the dire consequences that will befall the church and the nation if Christians fail to immerse themselves in partisan politics and promote the moral values and social policies endorsed by the institutional church.
