I'm talking about the importance of Christians voting, and voting using God given wisdom and commonsense.

I am 100% in agreement on voting. I just dont want the debate about the topics in church. So then we are in alignment. ;)

Shabbat shalom, @Antari.

Please, keep it civil. Attack the problem and not the person.

When Yeeshuwa` ("Jesus") left the earth, He took His offer of the Kingdom with Him. The Kingdom of God - God's Kingdom - is the SAME KINGDOM over which David ruled! It was offered to the JEWS, the children of JUDAH, His own tribe, who should have accepted Him as their King and then He would have extended that offer to the rest of the children of Israel.

BECAUSE He was rejected by the Jews as GOD'S Messiah - GOD'S Anointed One (like David was) - GOD'S Choice for Israel's King - the Messiah rejected that generation and left them "DESOLATE" (Matthew 23:38-39) until they would WELCOME Him back as YHWH'S Messiah, "Blessed (Welcomed) be He who comes in the name of YHWH."

Now, technically speaking, we can OWN Him as our King, and we can consider ourselves to be His subjects when He returns, but until He returns, He is NOT currently the King. 

This is an important statement to understand! He COMES to reign! Here's what Yeeshuwa` said,

Matthew 25:31 (KJV)

31 "When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels withhim, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: ..."

And, we also read this parable He spoke in which He is alluding to Himself:

Luke 19:11-15 (KJV)

11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 12 He said therefore,

"A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them,

"'Occupy till I come.'

14 "But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying,

"'We will not have this [man] to reign over us!'

15 "And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. ..."

While He shall certainly be the King of the Jews, and then King of all Israel, and then King of the whole world as He grows His Kingdom, and while He certainly has the right and authority to be reigning, He will not begin His reign until He has returned.

It will be in His FATHER'S TIMING when He begins His reign. Once again, we can OWN Him as our King, owing our allegience to Him, and we can consider ourselves to be His subjects when He returns, but until He returns, He is NOT currently the King that He SHALL be WHEN HE RETURNS!

Oh, and He's not going to be taking us ANYWHERE ELSE but with Him to Israel, and He shall PUT US TO WORK! We shall be ruling and reigning with Him on this earth, after our transformation!

Sure. But, it was okay for the initial response toward me to be hostile? Did you read what I responded to? Nevermind. I will just delete my content and not participate.
