What do you think of a government by God? Is it scriptural?

[Totton Linnet]

I see that Jesus constantly talked about the Kingdom of God. He taught us to pray for it to come, so it couldn't already be here, right? (Matt.6:9,10) Isaiah 9:6,7 tells us about a government that will rule and bring peace to the earth, in the hands of the Son, the Messiah, on the throne of David. So the "kingdom" is a real government. What is your understanding?

Jesus said "unless a man is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God"

Have you been born again?

Nothing about a "messianic kingdom" here. Which was my original point.

The kings and priests of God reign on the earth. Jesus prayed, "Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world."
(John 17:24 NKJV)​
