The Kindom of God is here and coming, waiting to be seen, felt, taken hold of, lived into. But the church has opted for empire instead. And for that, we will all face judgment.

Judgment Day is here and coming. Your children and your children’s children shall reap what we have sowed. We brutally strike the earth and depend on violent systems day in and day out. And there is a price, one that will hit all of us.

And things are going to get worse. They’ve been bad, really bad, but it’s going to hit the privileged, and by the time they will hear the cries of suffering, it will be too late. It’s already too late, if we’re going to be honest.

You can continue believing empire can be reformed through dialogue, petitions, marches, and voting, or you can choose Kindom now. You won’t be spared from Mother Earth’s judgement, and you will need to accept and embrace your own death, but if you follow Jesus, you will find a hiding place, a refuge, and Holy Ghost fire in Mother God.

Follow Christ, and join their body.

We cannot depend on the state, we cannot put our hope in NGOs, we cannot place our faith in leaders and politicians. We need each other, we need the Kindom. We can work on initiative after initiative, but maybe it’s time to tackle the tangled up Satans of the State.

As we surrender all that we are, to God, to one another, to all weary and heavy laden, we will create a new society and render the State useless.

As we destroy, we will create, and as we create, we will destroy. All things are being made new, says the Lord. We can live a different way, and we need to.

Jesus, make us ready to take up our crosses, to be willing to be beaten, arrested, and slaughtered. To be willing to dismantle the false, oppressive authorities of this world and live into the Kindom, here and now. Amen.
