Throughout human history we have tried various forms of government. All have failed us miserably. All have the one common ingredient that caused them to fail: humans and their sins. At one time or another we have tried Absolutism, Anarchy, Aristocracy, Authoritarianism, Autocracy, Communism, Democracy, Despotism, Dictatorship, Fascism, Federation, Feudalism, Kleptocracy, the Lot, Matriarchy, Meritocracy, Monarchy, Constitutional Monarchy, Regency, Oligarchy, Patriarchy, Plutocracy, Police state, Polyarchy, Republic, Socialism, Synarchy, Technocracy, Thalassocracy, Theocracy, Totalitarianism, Tribal, Chiefdom and Tyranny. Although the Kingdom of God is described in monarchical terms it is unlike any form of human government. The rule of God begins with leadership that is willing to die for its citizens (Matthew 26:14-27:66). When we have found the perfect leadership, there is no more reason to choose another failed variety of human leadership. There is only one vote left, to choose Jesus.
