                                       What is Good Government?

Throughout all of human history people have desired to live a peaceful happy life with no fear of violence and poverty. everyone today really wants exactly the same future, but in this system of things they will not get what they want, it can seem like an impossible hope! You could say the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and all the rest of us are just cannon fodder, in other words we don't matter!

Ephesians chapter 1 verses 8 to 10:-   8 This undeserved kindness he caused to abound toward us in all wisdom and understanding 9 by making known to us the sacred secret of his will. It is according to his good pleasure that he himself purposed 10 for an administration at the full limit of the appointed times, to gather all things together in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth. Yes, in him.

                                                                           Hope is Hidden

Wherever you live in today's world you will see corruption in government and unhappiness with many people discontented with the present administration! There has never in human history been a government anywhere that makes everyone satisfied with their lives. For this reason there has been rebellion and the overthrow of many governments and rulers throughout history because no one is truly happy with government, and have even lost hope of something better.

Genesis chapter 10 verses 8 to 12:-   8 Cush became father to Nim'rod. He was the first to become a mighty one on the earth. 9 He became a mighty hunter in opposition to Jehovah. That is why there is a saying: “Just like Nim'rod, a mighty hunter in opposition to Jehovah.” 10 The beginning of his kingdom was Ba'bel, E'rech, Ac'cad, and Cal'neh, in the land of Shi'nar. 11 From that land he went into As·syr'i·a and built Nin'e·veh, Re·ho'both-Ir, Ca'lah, 12 and Re'sen, between Nin'e·veh and Ca'lah: This is the great city.

                                                                         Power Corrupts

If you are a student of the Bible, you will note that before the flood of Noah's day there was no record of any form of government over the people, and yet they were still prone to wicked acts and injustices. Again no one was really happy with life? After the flood the people found themselves gathering into groups and later into city states and still later into nations governed by rulers and Kings with absolute power of life and death, but still no one was truly happy?

There are three major reasons for the unhappiness and injustice that makes good government impossible, and simply put they are, corruption, power and greed. No one can remain incorruptible in this wicked world, because the thirst for power and the desire for wealth will eventually corrupt anyone even if they start out with good motives. And the need for more power has led to some of the worst wars in human history that have killed millions!

                                                                        Hope Revealed

But there is hope for a better future for anyone who is willing to listen and change their lives to conform to God's standards. To reject this wicked worlds way of life and follow the example shown by God's Son Jesus Christ, and learn to love and worship the true God Jehovah while there is still time?

Isaiah chapter 55 verses 6 and 7:-   6 Search for Jehovah, YOU people, while he may be found. Call to him while he proves to be near. 7 Let the wicked man leave his way, and the harmful man his thoughts; and let him return to Jehovah, who will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for he will forgive in a large way.

                                                                        Peace at Last

As the scripture above shows,  we need to change our way of life, and learn to live in harmony with our fellow humans, and we can only accomplish this by ding things Jehovah's way. If you do that, you will get the peace and happiness you desire and the promise from Jehovah of everlasting life on a paradise Earth forever! If you are not willing to change, then you will miss out on those blessings and even loose your life itself forever!

1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 24 to 26:-   24 Next, the end, when he hands over the Kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power. 25 For he must rule as king until God has put all enemies under his feet. 26 And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.
