WANTED-An End to Human Rulership

 What the Bible says: "It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step." - JEREMIAH 10:23. 

WHAT IT MEANS:  Humans were not created to rule themselves. They do a poor job of governing other people and solving their problems.

Consider: Britannica Academic notes that individual governments seem unable to "handle the universal enemies of poverty, hunger, disease, natural disaster, and war or other violence."  It then continues: "Some . . . believe that only a form of world government can make decisive headway against those evils." However, even it all human governments united, the world would still be ruled by imperfect humans who are unable to overcome the difficulties mentioned above. God's Kingdom is the only government that has the power to solve all global problems permanently. 

Therefore, according to the Bible, the end of the world -the present wicked system of things-is not something that good people should fear. Instead, it is something to look forward to because this ruined old world will be replaced by God's magnificent new world. 

When will this all happen? The next article will explain the Bible's answer. 

Note: Don't forget,  the people in Noah's day did not listen to him either, even though he warned them over and over.  Yes, it took awhile for God to do what he said he was going to do, but his view of time is not ours. He wanted to give them time to repent and change their ways, but they didn't so he destroyed the wicked people. And these days, he is giving everyone time to do the same-repent and change their ways.   But he will do what he said he was going to do.  Every prophesy he ever uttered has come true, so Jehovah God is not a liar. To God, a  day is a thousand years. Think about it and be prepared. We are at the end of Revelation now.
