The following was written in response to a question asked me concerning the current U.S. election and a comment Hillary Clinton made about Iran and Israel.
So my view on the election, and Hillary's comment, is that I see sinners trying to lead sinners for the sake of power and it is sheer corruption and blindness. God alone is the rightful King of all men, and until this world learns that we'll find ourselves again treading the oft repeated course of disaster.
Concerning Israel, they, by God, were established as a Theocratic nation, and if you know their history Israel rejected God and met with defeat and exile time and time again. Was this a mistake by God? No! God knew this would happen; it was for His eternal purposes and in His wisdom to do this, to declare to all mankind the sinfulness of men, as demonstrated by Israel, and the incapability for men to submit, obey, even love God. The revelation of Jesus Christ follows the acknowledgment of this vile condition. Christ brings life to the dead, healing to the wounded, and grace to the sinners. The future Theocratic government that will reign "from sea to sea", replacing the crooked kingdoms of men, can only work and be established through the power of the cross; the Gospel of God. Only the cross can change a man to love his neighbor, walk humbly, love justice and bow the knee to God, so that the glory of the Kingdom of God does not come from man, but from God.
Well, that's why I have no confidence in earthly governments. How can men govern the world when we can't even govern ourselves?
Your friend,

Hi Eli
I read your new posting with interest, and must say that I agree completely with your statements! In my opinion they are very timely and certainly scriptural!
May God continue to bless your ministry.

I liked this post, Eli (with the exception of you concluding rhetorical question). I wish more conservative Christians in America subscribed to your apolitical Christianity.
So glad we belong to the kingdom of God, and the government of God. It's a far better kingdom and it's eternal not just a passing; fading off into oblivion earthly government. Thank you for this word. Margie
Amen, pilgrim.
