I voted for the kingdom. Some people think speaking of the kingdom is an ethereal, intangible thing. True enough, the kingdom is of heaven, but it is to operate on earth. It is not of the world but it is manifested in the world. It's been 2000 years and many still don't get it. If I operate under the rules of one system then I am not under the rules of another that is contrary to it. When I subscribe and give my allegiance to the system of the world, I am not under the system of heaven on earth, nor do I benefit from the latter when I place my dependence on the former. I recognize the kingdom is not afar off. It is at hand, even my own hand. It is in my very own mouth. I speak and it is. I say to a thing be this and it becomes that. That is a power the systems of the world can never give. The kingdom gives power over life and death. There is no salvation to be had from the world kingdoms, whether monarchy, oligarchy, democracy, socialist, totalitarian, or utilitarian. Salvation comes from one only and there is no other through whom salvation comes. Democracy is believed to be the best the world has to offer by Americans and those who benefit from it. Democracy began with the Greek city-states. The kingdom of Greece is one of four worldy kingdoms foretold in the book of Daniel in the dream of Nebuchadnezzar. The kingdom of Greece was uprooted by the Medo-Persian kingdom, which came after the Babylonian kingdom, and was itself replaced by the Roman kingdom. This same certain prophecy goes on to tell the fourth kingdom will be the final before the fifth kingdom not of the world, not made by the hands of man will bring to an end all that came before it. The things that are not are already passing away. That which will be already is. The kingdom is everlasting and not coming, but it already is. What is needed is not that it should come, but that people should subscribe to it rather than to the things which are passing away. The law of the kingdom in your mind and in your heart, makes you of one mind with it and the one who reigns over it forever. Friendship with the world then is enmity with the kingdom that is not of the world.
For the descendants of slaves this is the land of your captivity. It has never cared for you. Why care for it? Rather, shake off your dust; rise up, sit enthroned. Free yourself from the chains on your neck. The kingdom and the one who reigns over it cares for you and has a system whereby you are to be treated with love and that benefits you in every way, spiritually, mentally, physically, financially, culturally, and psychologically. Why then seek these benefits from those who enslave, rape, kill, pillage, culturally assimilate, appropriate, and simultaneously degenerate you? Commit in mind and heart to submit to the kingdom that last forever and live. Seek membership and friendship with the kingdom not from the hands of men but from he who lives forever. Rather than grovel at the feet of your oppressors, those who enter the kingdom receive the power that is from it. What is better, 3rd or 4th rate citizenship or to be sons and daughters of the the king?
