There is no doubt the Taliban, now taken control in Afghanistan, are even more convinced that God is on their side!  How very typical this is of humans throughout all of history, no matter how great or small the ruling empire may have been, or how many people they ruled over, Babylonians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Romans, British or American, just to name a few, all share this one religious thought; ‘God is on MY side!’

Well I’ve got news for all forms of national sovereignty* the one and only true God and father of mankind Himself declares he is ‘not on your side‘! Not yesterday, not today, not ever!

The real distinction to be made is ‘claims to have God on YOUR side’, rather than being ‘on side WITH God’!

How can this be said? Of course the historical failures of virtually all human governments confirms this fact, but please read on;

First; consider the universally admitted fact that ‘we’ (namely all mankind) ‘are imperfect.’ If anyone doubts this basic truth please raise your hand!?

Second; similarly, why would God, our heavenly Father, support continuous changes of imperfect human governments, much less never ending wars and conflicts between them?

Third; as mentioned, if God actually supported a particular human government, why have not one of them successfully brought lasting ‘peace and security’ to its subjects , much less fair and equitable distribution of material benefits to its subjects, no matter how long it lasted!?

No ‘the jury is not out’. The plain fact is God has set an unalterable agenda for establishing ‘His’ rulership (a.k.a. sovereignty)! One government that will rule the entire earth. The Kingdom Jesus said we should pray for as recorded in the Bible at Matthew 6:10*. There is no doubt IT will bring true peace and security for all who adopt it, because those who refuse to subject themselves to that just and righteous government will simply be no more, that is his true purpose, not support for imperfect unqualified human governments.
