Dear friend,
Human beings are created gregarious. No human baby can survive without another human being to take care of him. He grows well and useful when he has a good, godly family support. When he is brought up in a broken home environment, he can develop wrong and unhealthy attitudes towards his fellow human beings. Human beings inevitably come together to form families, and families come together to form large societies for different purposes and these different societies even come together to form nations, kingdoms, etc. And the nations come together to form the "United Nations". This is inevitable. Globalization is inevitable. The recent reports on the World Climate Change and calling upon all nations to do something about it, confirm this inevitability. Many modern problems, be they political, commercial, security or otherwise, are global in nature and increasingly call for global solution.
When God save for Himself a people out of he fallen race of men, He "called you unto his kingdom and glory." (1Th. 2:12) God's "kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, ... but now is my kingdom not from hence." (Joh. 18:36) Though not with the arm of flesh, God's Kingdom does have a battle to fight and win. His kingdom shall reign, "Expecting till his enemies be made his footstool." (Heb. 10:13) Christ is the King of this Kingdom and He is the King of truth. All who do the truth would come to submit to His rule finally. It is a battle of the Word of God , Which is the Truth that sanctifies.
That Kingdom shall finally triumph over all others. "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." (Rev. 11:15) This Kingdom is already on the march, calling It's citizens out of every nation, tongue and tribe. It reigns as no kingdoms nor empires are able to stop the gathering of this Kingdom. Belivers are made "unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." (Rev. 5:10) The period of this reign which has already started is said to be "a thousand years." (Rev. 20:4) During that period "the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father." (Mat. 13:43) Apart from God's Kingdom, all others that try to globalise the world are ungodly. But godly ones, "Fear not .. for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." (Luk. 12:32)

Are you in that Kingdom that shall reign forever and ever?
