His Realm

Jesus proclaimed a new political reality, the Kingdom of God, one that bears little resemblance to the political systems of this world.

Jesus arrived in Galilee proclaiming the Kingdom of God: “Repent, for the kingdom is at hand!” In his ministry, the reign of God was invading the Earth, but his realm was of a different nature than the governments and ideologies of this fallen world, and on more than one occasion, Jesus refused political power, especially when Satan offered it. With the arrival of the Messiah, every man must now choose which kingdom and ruler he will serve.

The Only Source

ONLY Jesus of Nazareth is the Light of the World, the expression of God, and the source of truth, life, and salvation.

From time immemorial, presidents, kings, dictators, political ideologies, religions, and false prophets have claimed to be humanity’s best hope for peace and prosperity, self-appointed sources of light, and alleged bulwarks of order against the darkness that constantly threatens to overwhelm society. Today, this plague of pretenders is worse than ever, especially in the churches and political arena of the United States of America.

Populating the Holy City

The Nations and the Kings of the Earth are found in the City of New Jerusalem because of the redeeming work of the Lamb.

The Book of Revelation presents us with paradoxical images and visions that do not conform to our expectations about how God works. Christ’s purpose in subjugating His enemies and judging the nations differs radically from so-called “human wisdom.” Just as his contemporaries did not understand Jesus, so we too often fail to comprehend the “Slain Lamb” and how he is “shepherding the nations,” present tense, from the Messianic Throne.
