All governments are evil. All kingdoms of this world are evil. The USA is perhaps the only government that has had a semblance of Christianity in its forefront. However, Jesus told us that HIS kingdom was not of this world. Our hope can't be in our government, and what they can or can't do for us. Our hope is in Christ. I look at all government essentially that is of this world as exactly that - of this world. My hope is in Christ, and my hope is not in this world, but in Him.
Regardless of what governments are planning, and what corruption lies within them - we have already been told by Christ to expect that, and not be surprised.
I was reading this morning in
John 6 and a verse jumped out at me:
John 6:15 "When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come
and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone."
Jesus had no intention to be the KING that the people were looking for. They wanted a king then, and people still want a KING today. However, the kind of KING that Jesus came to be is not of this world. We must remember that in all of these discussions.
Our KING is not of this world!
