Good "One World Government"

How often have you heard, over the years, fearful and foreboding tales of the emerging monster of "one world government"?

Well, here is a good twist on a notoriously bad theme. God is all for a form of "one world government." That government is that of His holy and blessed Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who does and will rule the earth, in and through His church. Isaiah 9:6 & 7 speaks of this reign.

There, we read these words: "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."

Jesus is establishing His "one world government" in and through His church. He alone is the King. He does not rule through a pope, or a prelate. Instead, He Himself governs, in and through His church officers.
