Mark 6:1
King James Version
6 And he went out from thence,
and came into his own country;
and his disciples follow him.
How is the world being run today?
Are governments successful?
Are people happy?
Are people being served?
Observe how JESUS created His government.
With specific instructions, glorifying GOD alone.
This, in sharp contrast to how the world is being run.

The world's hope is in JESUS.
In having a spiritual government.
With the Triune GOD in it, of it, by it.
If we don't aspire to have such a government, then we'll keep having the governments we've been having.
It's really as simple as that.
