Kingdom Principles

r Chapter Three T HE O RIGINAL K INGDOM C ONCEPT : C OLONIZATION OF E ARTH F rom our discussions thus far, two things at least should be perfectly clear at this point. First, every person on earth, without exception, is seeking a kingdom. Consciously or unconsciously, every human activity and endeavor is directed in one way or another toward this pursuit. And second, as we have just seen, the kingdom concept of govern ment, the original and first governmental concept, is far superior to any governmental system devised by man. The caveat, of course, is that such a kingdom be ruled by a righteous and benevolent king. Otherwise, a kingdom will prove to be no better than any other system. The inherent superiority of a kingdom over other systems of government is an especially difficult concept for many people in the west. As I stated earlier, few westerners have ever lived under a king dom and thus know little or nothing of how one operates. This dif ficulty is even more acute for citizens of the United States whose nation, after all, was established in rebellion against a kingdom. Nevertheless, a kingdom ruled by a sovereign, righteous, and benevolent king remains the best system of government humanity
