Still
Here we are... an over-realized eschatology. The kingdom will look nothing like this current world.
Only Christ has the authority to rule the kingdom. Only Christ can match any genuine qualification to rule. And when He does, it will not be a constitutional republic with popular votes of states driving an electoral college. [/ quote]
So when Jesus says "all authority on heaven and earth has been given to him , have really didn't mean ALL authority ? And Psalm 2 is just meaningless. ?

Until then, we are stuck with doing the most pragmatic and best possible thing... vote for those who are showing a commitment to freedom.
Is the Gospel pragmatic? No,we are commanded to go into all of the world teach that nations .

The Reconstructionists of this world have led us on a wild goose chase for a perfect candidate in a fallen world. They think the kingdom "rule with perfect justice, peace" is here and now. They think perfection is here.
They have never said that ,that's untrue, wheat they claim is that as we march closer to his return, and the Gospel goes forward, things will get better. In some ways, it has. But please, don't misrepresent the position .

Until Christ ushers in the Theocracy, we need to do as Christians have done since Nero... pray for our leaders and hope for the best leaders.
Christ is doing that now and the nations are not obeying. And we are to be praying for God's will to be done. We are His servants, unless you choose to serve Nero ( the Beast ) hand it seems many haahve accepted his mark.
