God has something far better in mind than what any nation or government could ever accomplish. He will even make peace with and among the animals, for example. (Is 11:6-9; Hos 2:18 Eng 20 Heb); Ezek 34:25-28)
We are called and sent out to be ambassadors of Christ, of another King, of another Kingdom.
Let us do all we can to give people, at the least, to respect – and even to fear — the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, so that they might find mercy when the wrath of God is poured out on those who refuse to repent from evil and to turn to that which is good.
