Everlasting Kingdom

13 "I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.
14 And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed. Daniel 7:13-14

I was just having a conversation yesterday with someone who was very disappointed with the outcome of the elections. I began to share about a kingdom that is everlasting and perfect in every way, unlike the flawed minor kingdom of this world. Isn't this the whole goal to living here on earth? Do we not await a better kingdom, one whose king will rule and reign forever in absolute truth, love, justice and mercy? Yes, I was excited to share with him how someone can find this kingdom and how to secure a place in this kingdom.

Therefore put your hope in the kingdom of heaven and of God. The kingdom of America will fade in all of its glory and power. This kingdom is manipulated and controlled by worldly hands. Pray for your nation and for those who rule it. We are in a desperate hour no doubt. As the church we need to be a salt and light, a city on a hill that cannot be hidden. We have the keys to this kingdom. We have the answers that will lead people to never hunger or thirst again.
