Thinking of the kingdoms of this world as Christ's Kingdom has distracted many of God's people from the promised heavenly Kingdom. Instead of being devoted to preaching the Gospel of the coming Kingdom, Christians have mingled in politics.

Should we hope for them to endure? We should rather look forward to what is to follow—the Kingdom of Christ. The Fifth Universal Empire is being established amid the rubble of these kingdoms by the “King of kings” (Revelation 17:14), and soon the wind will blow them all away.
