Roland Mohsen, who labors in Paris, France, recently mentioned an interesting fact. He writes: “What came out on the news is the fact that the population of France is 67+ million people, but there are 84 million who have a social security card. That means that 17 million should not have any coverage, but they do. This extra cost comes to 40 billion Euros in France every year. It is a big scandal. Vive la France.”
So, does this mean that 17,000,000 are receiving double coverage? Or are some receiving triple or more than they are entitled to have? One wonders how this fraud might affect elections in France. If the social security cards can be faked, what about driver’s licenses or any other form of ID? Are some people voting twice or dozens of times? In Chicago, people are so patriotic that they keep voting even after they’re dead. Such has been the case for more than half a century, and no one has stopped it yet. Possibly something like it will occur in France. They already have a problem. How do they hope to resolve it? How long would it take to investigate 67,000,000 people in order to find out where the extra 17,000,000 came from?
Political intrigue, fraud, ridiculous accusations, smear tactics—aren’t you glad that the Kingdom of Heaven is not operated like any kingdom on earth? We don’t have elections because we never have a change of government. Jesus has been reigning since the first century and will continue to do so until the end of earthly time. We don’t need to listen to the same campaign promises we’ve heard for the last 17 elections—and what all we’ll get for free (with our money), and we don’t have to watch different political parties vie for power. There is no government corruption in the church of Jesus Christ, and maybe best of all—no lobbyists.
Our constitution is the New Testament. Have you noticed that there are no amendments? We don’t have a legislative branch; all the laws that were necessary were given at the outset of the establishment of the kingdom over a period of a few decades. It has been codified and made available since the first century. All people of every nation are governed by the same laws—no matter what the current culture is. That same Book serves as our court system, too. The only question that needs to be asked is, “What saith the Lord?” The executive branch consists of the Head of the church, Jesus. He has no cabinet and needs no advisors. He is Sovereign, and He rules justly. He will also serve as our judge, deciding where we will be eternally (John 5:28-30). He also knows each one of us and always has a correct count for those who are citizens of His kingdom. Truly, He is worthy of all praise and honor.
