Reply #171: Link: "How would Jesus vote for president?" article (Not Bush, Not Kerry) [View All]

[Maddy McCall]

Snippet from article by Meredith on LCOG participation in elections:

What would Jesus do in this election year in the United States? He would be so busy proclaiming the good news of the soon-coming kingdom of God that He would have no time—and no interest—in politicking, voting or taking part in any groups pressuring to clean up Satan’s world. For He would know that—although often well-meaning—human attempts to save this world are doomed to failure because they are under Satan’s sway and are part of his system which God Himself calls "Babylon" (Revelation 14:8).

The mission and calling of all true Christians is to help prepare the way—as advance emissaries—for the kingdom of God, the literal government that the Living Jesus Christ will soon set up. It will replace all the misguided human governments of this earth. "Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, ‘The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!’" (Revelation 11:15).

May God speed that day!
