RE: Government from beginning to end: God's War Against the Beast
This is really great. The Beasts of Daniel and Revelation represent successive world empires. The Beast of Revelation is the last Beast... one that becomes so powerful no one can oppose it.
But I don't think it is Anarchist Eschatology. Anti human government, yes. But it all points to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ who will take His throne as the only just form of government mankind has ever known.
That would be the permanent Monarchy of Jesus Christ.
I say an anarchist one due to what Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians 15. 1Co 15:23 But each in his own order: Christ, the firstfruit; afterward those of Christ at His coming.
1Co 15:24 Then is the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God, even the Father, when He makes to cease all rule and all authority and power.
1Co 15:28 But when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who has subjected all things to Him, that God may be all things in all.
So there will be a time when there will be absolutely no human rulers at all. The only ruler will be God, who is in all.
This is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him; if we endure, we will also reign with Him; - 2 Tim 2:12
Christians should not look forward to an eternal retirement in Heaven. There is work to do on New Earth as part of Christ's government.
