The first time I posted the hymn, Christ Shall Have Dominion, someone objected. He didn’t want Christ to have dominion.
He didn’t say whom he’d rather had it.
So, okay–if it’s not to be the Lord Jesus Christ, then who do you want to rule the earth? A political party full of orcs? A consortium of thieves?
Ooh-ooh, I know! Genius saints guided by Science! They have them in Canada or someplace.
Fairies would be okay, too. A world ruled by fairies. That’d be cool.
It makes not one whit of difference what earthly fools want. It will be God’s way. period.
Have we heard Onward Christian Soldiers recently?
Same tune, same composer–I’ll be happy to post it again.
Jesus Christ rules in Heaven, and a day is coming when He will rule on earth with a rod of iron (which is His Law). Those in Heaven love His Law because they no longer have a sin nature (it died with the physical body), but those on earth don’t want Christ to rule over them – remember the Jewish Pharisees and scribes calling for Caesar to be their king, not Jesus?
“We have no king but Caesar!”
Lucky you.
In America these days, it’s “We have no king but the government bureaucracy.”
The old kings were better. At least they would die eventually. The bureaucracy goes on forever.
