The Unbroken Circle
God created a perfect “life support system” and the capstone of it was the creation of mankind. He called it in our language earth. It was a perfect creation and mankind was to live on the surface of earth in a paradise eternally.
Humankind was given one simple law from God to live by. You may eat of every tree in the paradise called the Garden of Eden with the exception of the tree that will result in opening your mind to know Good and Evil.
If mankind disobeyed God and ate of that tree death would ensue. Obey this one law and live or disobey it and die. Simple it was and to the point, obey my law and live eternally. Eve first then Adam succumbed to temptation of the archangel Lucifer who rebelled against God out of envy and jealousy. They also rebelled against God when tempted by the adversary of man and the enemy of God, Lucifer who was renamed Satan.
Mankind was driven from Eden and having rebelled against God began to attempt to govern himself without God. History is the revelation by God to show to mankind all those governments that have come to suppress and oppress humankind over the ages as evil.
God also began to reveal Himself to chosen men and women that would “walk before Him in righteousness” a benevolent loving government that would be the people from which he would raise up a Mediator (Messiah) who would redeem, save, provide preserve and reconcile mankind for Himself. In essence, complete and close the final circle which is God Himself.
Mankind would again live in a paradise, a new heaven with a new earth and a new Jerusalem to govern it. God would reach down and lift man up to Himself instead of those at the tower of Babel who thought to build a tower that would take them up by their own efforts to reach God and pull Him down (Isaiah 14: 13-14).
God’s Kingdom is the only benevolent system based in righteousness and truth. History has shown all those world systems to be at enmity with Him with the exception of Israel and the United States of America. Sadly over time even those two turned their back on God. All former government systems have been destroyed, Babylon, Syria, Assyria, Greece, Rome, as well as all present systems will be destroyed in the end with judgment of all evil.
When God created the earth there was only one form government across the entire Universe: it was The Kingdom of God. It was not until after the fall of man that other types of governments began to develop among mankind.
Where do harsh arguments and strife among you stem from? Are they not derived from strong desires (lust, jealousy and envy) that struggle in your own heart and mind? You lust yet you do not have: you destroy, desire to have and cannot obtain: you fight and war yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask it to wrongfully use it on your own lustful desire to suppress and destroy each other (James 4: 1-3).
Don’t you understand becoming friends with world [social & political systems (Luke 4: 5-8] is the same as making God your enemy? He is the Sovereign ruler of the Kingdom of God! Who ever submits (subjects himself) or becomes fast friends of the world’s systems, offers them in essence a form of worship to the enemy of God. Do you think that the scripture speaks without just cause when it says the Spirit that lives in us (the Holy Spirit) lusts to envy? No, He gives more grace. Wherefore He (the Holy Spirit) says, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Submit in subjection to God and worship Him only. Resist the devil (Zechariah 3: 21; Jude 1-92 ) , and he will flee from you. Draw [near] to God, and he will draw [near] to you (James 4: 4-8).
The only reason for history, in the mind of God, was to demonstrate throughly and finally, once and for all, that no man, woman or child descended from Adam (Adam’s dying race, humankind) can possibly govern the world benevolently i.e., with equity in loving kindness toward everyone of its citizens; that unity in diversity could only exist with eternal love and and forgiveness that is only possible by the grace of God. Therefore In the end “every knee shall bow and every tongue shall swear”3 “God is Lord of all.”4
- And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire (Zechariah 3:2)?”
- “Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee (Jude 1:9).”
- I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear (Isaiah 45:23).
- For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God (Romans 14:11).
