Government

Hard to look anywhere without getting someones opinion on our governement. I recognize we in a bad situation with in this country, but I don't let that consume me. I go to the Word of the Lord and find examples when Israel was in bondage by Babylon, Assyria, and Rome. When Jesus.. God himself comes on to the scene Israel and most of the know world is under the authority of Rome. The Roman Empire, the most awful, wicked, pagan, tryrant ran governments that ever bore the name World Power. When Jesus comes on the scene it looks as though He couldn't care less abut it. He seems totally uninterested in whom was is Political Power. He stands before Pilate, before the governement official and says you got no power unless given to you from above.. Meaning God put the Roman government in power to fullfill God's will. Same throughout the Old Testament. God would raise up a Babylon to conquer God's people because they were operating in Sin and lawlessness. God says I set up kingdoms and take down kingdoms.. And here is Jesus smack dab in the middle of a horrible government system ruling over His chosen people. Israel had been crying out for the Messiah to come so He came, but not to fullfill the military or political purpose they wanted. He came and never said one negative word about Rome. But instead had much to say about the current religious system bearing God's name. Didn't endorse one candidate, but spoke openly about getting out of Sin. Wouldn't condemn the paying taxes to Ceasar, but ripped the Pharisees apart over the tithe. Wouldn't raise a voice to Pilate when He had the chance, but spoke about praying to your Father God. I am fascinated how uninterested He was in what was going on in politics, but on fire and raged about what was going on in His Father's house with the money changers. Maybe the answer to our political woes is not in a party or a candidate, but in a Holy God.. If my people which are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, and turn from their wicked ways. Then I will heal their land. What if we like Jesus got more concerned with Kingdom of All Mighty God's business. Just like the Old Testament it was the people's sin condition that put them into bondage and it was the people's repentance and devotion to all mighty God got them out. I believe that if we get serious about the Kingdom, He will take care of our current political system. I belive we are in this because He is looking for someone to cry out to Him instead of the government or politics. Start looking to Heaven instead of Washington. Maybe all this is to issue in the Messiah again.. The 2nd coming of Christ! Are you ready? We like the Jews are crying out to God for something He already gave. The Jews had the Messiah, but refused to see it because the political situation didn't change. We are crying our for a better political situation and He already gave one called the Kingdom of God.. Where God is King. No Sickness, no death, all are subject to the King who is Perfect. Love your neighbor as yourself. Praise God
