   Isaiah 2:4  see footnote *

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, Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, British, American, et al share this one religious thought; ‘God is on OUR 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 ‘false 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 clearly 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 of all mankind, 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, his sovereignty! One government that will harmoniously rule the entire earth, bringing peace and justice to all those who subject themselves to that Kingdom. The very Kingdom Jesus said we should pray for as recorded in the Bible at Matthew 6:10 *.  Jesus himself being the King designate of that kingdom a.k.a. government!

How do we know this isn’t just ‘pie in the sky’! Because for 3.5 years Jess demonstrated his exceptional love and miraculous abilities to heal,  resurrect the dead and even control the environment while claiming to be an ambassador and messenger from the Creator himself!

He left no doubt his appointed rulership will bring true peace and security for all who adopt it.  Any who willfully oppose it will simply be no more, that is God’s purpose, not support for imperfect unqualified human governments

They will beat their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, Nor will they learn war anymore.”
