The Kingdom of God and the USA
July 4, 2019
“Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.” Revelation 11:15
We live in the best country in the world, but it is sooo far from perfect. Everyone has a great desire to live in a perfect world, but that will never happen through the means of people. Why? We are all broken and have broken and imperfect desires. Simply put, if we were in charge, our corrupted selves would still create an imperfect corrupt country and world. We yearn for a Kingdom, ruled honestly, justly, in love, where we can live life to the full without fear for anything or any of our needs. God, King Jesus, is returning to create such a Kingdom here on earth.
We have an inner desire from someone great to be in charge, a Savior to fix us and fix our world. God who created the universe and set his affections on this world which He created is the Savior we need. He stepped out of Heaven, in the person of Jesus Christ, fully God and fully Man who revealed the ways of the Father and died on the cross for us to have forgiveness, peace with God, and an amazing quality of life called “Eternal Life” which also guarantees us a home in His Kingdom. His first coming was to help fix us through faith in Him and His death on the cross. His resurrection proves He can fix us, create in us a new heart with new and right desires, and to reconcile us to God the Father. But His second coming will not be for His crucifixion. His first coming was for us to understand His glorious love, mercy, and grace.
His second coming will be in such creative power that the entire world will be dissolved and He will recreate it perfectly, with all of those who had become His followers. His Kingdom will come in greatness, power, defeat of all enemies of good and of those who reject Him as King.
America will cease to exist, as will Russia, UK, and even Israel. There will be no nations and national divisions as we know today, because we will be ruled by King Jesus. Friends, I am celebrating the 4th of July today enjoying American Independence, but the USA and American values are NOT the answer for the world or America. The Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and all other parties do not have the answer. Should you vote and serve this nation? Yes, vote your conscience and serve this nation, but remember King Jesus is the Answer for you, your world, this country, and our world.
The question is… Are you follower of King Jesus? Followers of King Jesus are citizens of the Kingdom of God and will be part of His Kingdom forever, even when Old Glory stops waving and the kingdoms of this world are dissolved.
