Christian Political Theory (14) Conclusion
In the previous thirteen posts, I have outlined the important insights into political theory that I received as I studied the scriptures and pondered the problems faced by modern political systems.
I realise that most people do not understand their significance. That is because they still have strong faith in political power. They believe that the situation in society or the economy will improve, if the right person (or the right political party) is elected to power. Unfortunately, the history of politics shows that this is a false hope.
I am patient. The time is getting closer when human trust in political power will be severely shaken. When that happens, they will begin searching for a form of government that does not rely on human wisdom and power. They will then be ready for the insights that I have shared.

The linked post "Empire to Kingdom" lays out a virtually identical vision for what I feel called to facilitate and "plant" in Northland, NZ. Although it may often feel like a pipe dream, I believe it is imperative that we as a church have this goal in mind, and do our utmost to live in a way that aids social shift in this direction. I pray that I am able to fulfill what I feel called to work towards, and that it is in accordance with his will, that it is seen as good, and replicated widely.
Once again, very encouraging. Thanks.
