 “Of the increase of His Government and Peace there shall be no end…” (Isaiah 9:7) WHAT WILL HIS [Yahshua’s] GOVERNMENT BE: A Kingdom, Republic, Democracy, Socialist, Fascist, Democratic Socialist, Communist? THE ANSWER: AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM “…upon the Throne of David, and upon his Kingdom, to order it… with Judgment and with Justice…even Forever….Yahweh of Hosts will perform this. “(Isaiah 9:7) Justice Is: Equal treatment under the law. Equal Opportunity; not Equal Success. Freedom to set and reach goals. Reward for actions: “Both Success and Failure are the strictest of Justice.” (Henry Ford) GOVERNMENTS OF AND BY MEN DO NOT LAST Pharoah’s government ended at the bottom of the Red Sea. (Exodus 14:28) Solomon went into apostasy. His government was split in two: his son, Rehoboam (2 tribes), and Jeroboam (10 tribes). King Belshazzar, son of King Nebuchadnezzar, was assassinated in 539 B.C. Alexander the Great, King of Macedonia, ruled B.C. 336-323. After his death in 323 B.C. his kingdom split into four parts. The Roman Empire lasted over twelve hundred years, but the empire and the “eternal city” [Rome] did fall (476 A.D.). Hitler’s Third Reich, after crushing most of Europe, was itself crushed by Allied Forces, May 8, 1945. History also shows, the old Roman adage is true: “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” WHY? The wicked will do anything to get and keep power and money. WHAT IS NEEDED? A DIVINE KING WHO GOVERNS BY YAHWEH’S LAW “Behold, the days come, saith Yahweh (“the LORD”; KJV), that I will raise unto David a Righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute Judgment and Justice in the earth.” (Jeremiah 23:5). He will be “…of quick understanding in the Fear of Yahweh…” RIGHT JUDGMENT “He shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: But with Righteousness shall He Judge the Poor, and Reprove with Equity for the Meek of the earth:… and with the breath of His lips shall he Slay the Wicked. (Isaiah 11:3-4) Note: A RIGHTEOUS KINGDOM DOES NOT MEAN “BIG GOVERNMENT”. “THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN” (Matt. 6:10) ——————————————————————————————————- See Gary C.
