A GOVERNMENT THAT WILL MEET THE CHALLENGE -"OF . . .Peace There Shall Be No End"

The United Nations is promoting the concept of global citizenship.  Goals include encouraging international cooperation, respecting human rights, and protecting our planet. The reason? As expressed by Maher Nasser in the UN Chronicle,  "climate change, organized crime, rising inequalities, unresolved conflicts, mass displacement of people, global terrorism, infectious,  and similar threats do not recognized . . . borders." 

Others have gone even further, advocating a world government.  They include the Italian philosopher, even so, if the human family is to enjoy true peace and harmony, we have to be united. But how can that goal be achieved?  Is it even realistic?  The Bible's answers is yes. It can and will be achieved. How?  Not by a world government made up of corruptible politicians.  Rather, it will be a government of God's making.  What is more, that government will express his right to rule over his creation. What is that government? The Bible gives its name --The Kingdom of God," or God's Kingdom. - Luke 4:3.
