The governments of this world will be replaced by the government, or the kingdom, of God.<br /><br />"And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever" (Daniel 2:44).<br /><br />"Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, 'The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!' " (Revelation 11:15).<br /><br />Jesus Christ will be king over all the earth. He is appointed to this role by God the Father, and will not be elected into office by the voting of men. See Psalm 2:6-12, Psalm 110:1, Luke 1:30-33, 1 Timothy 6:13-16, Revelation 17:14, Revelation 19:11, Luke 19:11-27, Luke 22:28-30, Revelation 12:3-5.<br /><br />The resurrected saints will rule with Christ when he returns. They will be appointed by God to offices. Christ will be king over all on the earth. Under Christ, David will be king over Israel (Jeremiah 30:9, Ezekiel 34:20-24, Ezekiel 37:21-25, Hosea 3:4-5). David will not run for election and be voted into office by the voting of the people of Israel, but God has appointed him to that office. Under David, each of the twelve apostles will rule over one of the twelve tribes of Israel (Matthew 19:27-30, Luke 22:28-30). The appointments to these offices will be determined by God, not the voting of men (Matthew 20:20-23). The saints will rule with Christ (1 Corinthians 6:1-7, Revelation 2:26-28, Revelation 3:21, Revelation 20:4-5). They will be appointed by God to their offices, not elected by the voting of the people. They will be appointed by God based on their fruits, based on what they have done in this life with what they have been given, as shown in the parables of the talents and the pounds or "minas" (Matthew 25:14-30, Luke 19:11-27). Some will rule over ten cities, some over five, etc. Notice in these parables that those who receive offices do not stand for election before the people. The king, Christ, appoints them to their offices.author@ptgbook.orghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775228362728122027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1081631727760066049.post-9642694478879042512011-01-24T13:26:40.331-06:002011-01-24T13:26:40.331-06:00You stated that "After Christ returns, electi...You stated that "After Christ returns, elections and voting will be abolished."

There will always be additional facts that can support either side, but I have to make some kind of choice to include what I feel are the most important facts in the summary, or if I include everything, it would not be a summary. But I have included links to statements by Mr. Walker in which he explains in more detail what you have mentioned, that he had already visited with headquarters personel to discuss the matter of his email communications, and that he had the impression that things had been satisfactorily answered.<br /><br />Your comment helps to fill in more detail, and I am working on a follow-up post that will include some of the information you have mentioned.author@ptgbook.orghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775228362728122027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1081631727760066049.post-62026743038112190072010-07-11T20:59:23.182-05:002010-07-11T20:59:23.182-05:00I noticed your summary omitted that Mr. Walker met...I noticed your summary omitted that Mr. Walker met previously with Mr. Holladay on June 15th, after which they requested that Mr. Walker meet with them again or face termination. Otherwise, simply omit a summary as it can be biased.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
