HOW THE CHALLENGE WILL BE FULLY OVERCOME - HOW WILL GOD'S KINGDOM TAKE CONTROL?

The answer involves these four important facts: 

1.  The Kingdom will not operate through or be represented by the political leaders  or the president of the world.

2.  The world's political leaders , in an attempt to cling to power, will foolishly defy rule by God's  Kingdom. -Psalm 2:2-9.

3. God's Kingdom will need to destroy the political kingdoms that want to continue dominating mankind.  (Daniel 2:14; Revelation 19:17-21)  This final global conflict is called Armageddon. -Revelation 16:14, 16) 

4. All who willingly submit to God's  Kingdom will be preserved through Armageddon into a peaceful new world.  They will make up what the Bible calls "a great crowd," likely numbering into the millions. - Revelation 7:9, 10, 13, 14.

While Jesus was on the earth, he gave us a preview of what he will do as King Of God's Kingdom. He healed the sick and the disabled.  (Matthew 4:24)  He fed many thousands.  (Mark 6:35-44) He even controlled the natural elements. - Mark 4:37-41. 

Above all, Jesus taught people how to live together in peace and harmony.  All who humbly apply his teachings develop personality traits that will enable them to live happily under his Kingdom forever.  No other educator can accomplish that.  Fine examples of Jesus' teachings can found is what is known as the Sermon on the Mount, found in Matthew chapters 5-7.  Why not read it? The words themselves are simple . But the message is profound and each truly touches the heart.
