elaborate on how a theocracy would be a good idea without fundamental changes to reality as we know it.
if true theocracy was in place, things would change dramatically. The reality we know today: crime, sickness, starvation, pollution, war etc will be things of the past. They are the very problems that God and Jesus will remove. Jesus showed that he had the power to cure the sick, to feed the hungry, raise the dead and even that he could control the forces of nature. These miracles he performed were fore gleams of what he will do on a much greater scale when his kingdom ruled from heaven.
This was the purpose of gathering people from all nations...it was to prepare people to live as subjects of his heavenly kingdom government.
The prophets spoke of Gods Kingdom as a real government that would take action against this worlds governments and rule in place of them. Daniel 2:44
"The God of heaven will set up a kingdom...and the kingdom will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms and it itself will stand to times indefinite"
So true theocracy cannot begin until all our present governments step aside and acknowledge Gods Kingdom...if they dont, he will remove them himself. Then he will eradicate ALL the worlds problems, reality will be completely different.
