The True Meaning of Divine Leadership
As the world witnesses the transfer of power, I am reminded of a profound biblical prophecy: “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” (Revelations 11:15-16). This passage speaks of a future where God’s kingdom supersedes human rule, and Christ assumes His rightful place as the supreme ruler.
A Ceremonial Nod to God
During the inauguration, I noticed the obligatory references to God, the singing of patriotic hymns, and the prayers offered. Yet, they seemed hollow, lacking genuine conviction. It’s possible that the speakers’ past statements, which often disregarded divine guidance, had led me to question their sincerity. When individuals advocate for policies that contradict biblical principles, such as terminating human life or redefining marriage, I wonder if they truly seek God’s blessing or merely seek to justify their own self-serving agendas.
The Illusion of Human Kingdoms
In reality, these human kingdoms are fleeting and insignificant compared to the coming kingdom of God. The Bible reveals that this kingdom will be a literal government, composed of spirit rulers, which will supersede the governments of nations at Christ’s second coming. Jesus will return as the “King of kings,” ruling by God’s law. His purpose will be to establish the Kingdom of God, judging the nations and abolishing the governments of this world.
A Future Reckoning
When Christ returns, those who have superficially invoked God’s blessing for their personal kingdoms will be forced to confront the true meaning of divine leadership. They will realize that their self-centered agendas were misguided and that God’s kingdom is not a mere ceremonial nod, but a powerful, authoritative government that will rule over all the earth.
A Heartfelt Plea
As we await the return of our Lord, I am reminded of the desperate need for true divine guidance. Oh, Lord, come quickly, for we cannot hold on much longer. May we seek Your kingdom, rather than our own, and may we be prepared for the day when Your reign will be supreme.
