The International Agenda of the Political Left
“Why to the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed.” Psalm 2:1-2
By Mike Wingfield
Our world has a wonderful future. The King is coming! For millennia, our world has suffered because of greedy political leaders who rule over people to give themselves more power and wealth. Big government leads to corrupt power. Big government promotes the desires of its leaders rather than the freedoms of its people. Big government does not shepherd the people, it enslaves them. As someone has said, “Power corrupts.” Therefore, big power leads to big corruption.
The Bible guarantees that in the future a righteous King will finally rule over the nations. This Messianic hope and promise of His glorious kingdom are at the center of God’s divine revelation. Jesus taught His disciples to pray for this kingdom to come, and for God’s “will be done in earth, as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). King Jesus will rule over the nations of the earth from Jerusalem, Israel for 1,000 years (Revelation 20:1-7). The Father has declared, “Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion” (Psalm 2:6).
The kingdom of God on earth will be monarchial in form. King Jesus will sit upon the throne of His father, David, and the “the government shall be upon his shoulder” (Isaiah 9:6). He will be the judge, lawgiver, and king. (Isaiah 33:22). He will control the judicial, legislative, and executive aspects of His kingdom. [It is interesting to note that the framers of the U.S. constitution cited this Bible reference and adopted this kind of government to create a system of checks and balances, which is needed when sinful men rule over people.]
During His kingdom, King Jesus will employ the use of godly glorified saints, who cannot sin, to assist Him in ruling over the physical inhabitants of earth. The Scriptures assure us that this kingdom will be one of justice and peace. “Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this” (Isaiah 9:7).
God’s law will go forth from Jerusalem. Truth will be the very foundation of this kingdom. “He will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem” (Isaiah 2:3). This truth will point the way to moral purity and social justice. The Messiah will properly balance the “strong hand” of the law, and the gentle arm of a shepherd to protect His people and provide for them (Isaiah 40:10-11). He will properly care for the needy (Psalm 72:4, 12-13). Notice that Psalm 72:4 says, “He will judge the poor of the people.” All those who appeal for help will not receive assistance. Only those who are not able to care for their own needs will receive assistance.

Moving Toward the Final Wars
“For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle …” Zechariah 14:2
By Mike Wingfield
In order to feel the pulse of the end times, we must keep our eyes fixed upon the ongoing conflict surrounding the nation of Israel. Israel is in constant conflict with its neighboring Middle Eastern nations and the greater international community. This horrific and deadly conflict will finally end when all of the nations of the world, directed by an Islamic Antichrist, will converge on Israel. This war, called Armageddon, will be the final conflagration that will end this deadly era of man’s rule on earth. Then, Jesus, the Jewish Messiah and Savior, will return as King of Kings and Lord of Lords to establish His earthly kingdom that will find its geographical center in Jerusalem, Israel.
