For those content in the conclusion democracy is flawed, but the best we have, faithful born again Christians with thanks and praise to God offer the biblical hope our best now, does not mean it is all there will ever be! Indeed, for God Almighty has ordained His Kingdom shall reign over men and all creation; giving this assignment to His Son who already reigns and is at His Father’s “right hand” in Heaven (Psalm 110:1-2; Daniel 7:13-14; Matthew 28:16-18; Acts 7:54-56, 9:1-9; Ephesians 1:15-23, NKJV). As the Lord led me to declare in last week’s post, He is coming again to gather His saints to Himself first, then, He and they “shall reign on the earth,” (Revelation 1:4-6, 5:8-10, NKJV)!1
Like the sunrise that spreads over the horizon and scatters the morning darkness, the Lord Jesus Christ will come in a divine display of glorious, blazing light and power never before seen by mortal eyes (Malachi 4:2a; Mark 13:24-27; Luke 21:25-28; 1 Timothy 6:13-16; Revelation 1:7-8). He calls His saints to Himself in the sky at the ear piercing blowing of a trumpet so they may be and reign with Him (1 Corinthians 15:50-53; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 2 Thessalonians 1:3-12). After this, the Lord successfully wages war against all Kingdom enemies beginning with the Antichrist, the armies of earth’s kings, the false prophet and finally, Satan (Revelation 19:11-20:3).
Then the King with His saints will stand triumphant on His “holy hill;” Jerusalem, the “Holy Mountain” where they shall headquarter and reign over the earth for a thousand years (Psalms 2:6, 48:1-8; Zechariah 8:1-3, 14:5b-11, 16; Revelation 20:4-6, NKJV).2 The Lord Jesus comes not by the will or election of those mortals who have survived by His grace, but the express will and election of His Father (Psalms 2:7-12, 8:1-9; Isaiah 42:1-4, 49:7; 1 Corinthians 15:24-28; Philippians 2:9-11; Hebrews 1:1-14, 2:5-10). Not elected to His office of King by sinful mortals, Christ will be beholden to none. But He will bring His Kingdom to the world and reign (Psalm 96:7-13; Isaiah 2:1-4, 11:6-10)!
As with the Lord, not having had to campaign, secure support and funding or be elected, the saints will not owe their reign to any mortal or pay anyone back either. Like Him too, in their spiritual, moral and ethical perfection they will not be corruptible by bribe or threat of bodily harm since they are immortal as well as imbued with divine power to govern with a “rod of iron,” (Psalm 149:5-9; Revelation 2:26-29, NKJV)! They will reign in holiness, righteousness, justice, truth, firmness against sin and mercy for the poor.3 Many secularists and professed Christians will not admit it for pride, but this is the kind of government and leaders we all wish existed now, in our nation (Proverbs 29:2).
Instead today, the leading democratic nation on earth is on the verge of collapse in its chaos! This is because democracy to work even close to the Kingdom of God must have citizens who at least share the same worldview drawn from the Judeo-Christian values of the Bible informing their morality and ethics that was once nearly the case with our nation from its founding until mid last century. Now, willfully unmoored from such values, elections--the heart of democracy--are being trampled by political vitriol and violence; many candidates slander and tear each other down, are profane, selfishly ambitious and devoid of scruples. Also, official voting misconduct is all too frequent with voter fatigue and I am among them. Still, I vote waiting for my King and His Kingdom to come!

2 Note in Revelation 20:4 specific mention is made of the saints that overcame the Antichrist during the great tribulation among those conferred thrones and the right of judgment. This completes the Lord’s theme of encouragement and assurance in His Revelation that He will fully vindicate those who are martyred during that dark time (Daniel 7:25-27; Revelation 6:9-11, 7:9-17, 14:9-13, 15:1-4). Truly, Revelation 20:4-6 for all of the saints is yet another display of God’s justice and turnabout for His people seen throughout Scripture such as in the instance of Haman’s hatred and edict against the Jewish people that was miraculously reversed in the days of Esther and Mordecai (Esther 7:1-9:25).
3 The Lord is going to severely judge those within professing Christianity that are attacking His biblically anchored call through me and others for Christian men and wo- men to be taught and helped to grow in His character (2 Peter 1:1-11). As the Lord led me, I wrote about the character in His image of aspiring strong men and great women of God in my book, The Strong Man Of God: Back To Basics and developed a curriculum drawn from it, the companion Strong Man Of God Men’s Group Study and Great Woman Of God Women’s Group Study for the equipping of the saints in the home and churches. These can be purchased in the Strong Man Store, at your favorite internet bookseller or brick and mortar bookstore.
