“Before we can pray, "Lord, Thy Kingdom come," we must be willing to pray, "My Kingdom go."” Alan Redpath

“Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls…” Zech.2.4 NKJV

Surely, the Church is the fulfillment of these words. The citizens of the New Jerusalem are now one vast people from every nation who name the Name of Christ and look to Him as Lord and Savior. Jerusalem in this sense is a city without walls. God clearly has a global focus and so should those who are citizens of His Kingdom. We pray for one world government but not in the liberal sense of modern politics. We pray that men come under the government of Christ. The Kingdom of Christ is no more the Jewish state of Israel than it is the steepled buildings that dot the world. Jesus told us plainly that His Kingdom is not of this world. This does not mean there will be no physical expressions of His kingdom but we should not confuse states and steeples with the hearts of men. 10/12/2009 Conversations Within ts
