American democracy has accomplished far more than any other government in human history. It has broken barrier after barrier, bringing a voice to the people and overthrowing the more often than not oppressive rule of royalty. But even so, the people are still not fully heard and still not fully free. If the people of America aren’t oppressed by a king, the wealthy still hold the most power as those without influence or worth can cast a vote, but never truly have a voice. It took years to bring rights to those who were “created equal,” and though equality may be complete within the government, it is far from on the street. People aren’t loved, cherished, cared for by the government. It may be of the people, but many would agree that it is not for the people as special interests wage war, elected officials waste the people’s hard earned money on selfish exploits, and the branches fail to uphold the very document which created them.

No, American democracy has failed to be the humanistic solution to the human problem. And the Kingship of Christ, which was predestined before the foundation of the earth, before all created things came to be, remains alone in perfection. The total depravity of humanity cannot be overcome by the creation of a republican democracy, nor can it overcome the tongue and race barriers brought about by the judgement of Babel. No, Christ still remains as the perfection of rule as all will one day kneel at His throne when peoples of all nations and tongues will gather and sing praises to His name.

Freedom will come, not by human means, but by God’s hand. Equality will come, not by human rule, but by God’s scepter. The governments of man will perish, but He will reign forever.

(I apologize for the short post. I had planned to write in far more depth but my internet access is sparse. Hopefully in the future I will write more on this topic.)
