As a popular king during his lifetime, wise King Solomon knew the world of his day. He wrote, "All of this I have seen ... that man has dominated man to his harm." (Ecclesiastes 8:9) The powerful during his day have very similar behaviors to those in power today. All the wars that have ever existed happened because of ideologies, religion, land, power, and control. As a result, the Bible declares human governments to be a complete failure. How so?
God gave humans many amazing qualities. Genesis tells us we are made in His image. That means, unlike the animals, we can mirror aspects of God's personality like love, power, justice, wisdom, mercy, and even free will. However, the one thing God NEVER bestowed upon humans is the ability to rule one another. And the reason is simple: when God created Adam, only God had the sovereign right to rule over his creation. But unlike the rulers today, God's sovereignty is always tempered with love. The Bible says, "God IS love." (1 John 4:8) That is to say, that love is the primary attribute of God's personality and the one that drives all his motivations including his greatest act of love found in John 3:16.
When Satan influenced Adam and Eve to rebel, humanity came under Satan's rulership. A fact so clearly stated in 2 Corinthians 4:4 when it declares him "the god of this system of things." Since the rebellion in the Garden of Eden, Jehovah God has allowed Satan to try every form of human government known independent of God's sovereignty. And to prove the point: "Man's way does not belong to him, it does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step." (Jeremiah 10:23) We, humans, lack the ABILITY to do this in a similar way that we cannot fly naturally.
If you want to live in genuine peace under a Government that will satisfy your needs, the needs of your neighbors, and the needs of the planet itself, then Jehovah God's heavenly government is THE only real solution to all humanity's problems. The best thing about God's government is it has his son Jesus Christ as its king. It is the ONLY government in existence that is fully endorsed by Jehovah. Please visit, JW.org has more information.
