Failure of Human Governments

The happenings of these few years are enough to convince anyone that no system of governance devised by humanity is perfect. From republicanism to democracy, communism and monarchy, humanity is never satisfied with any system of governance.

Particularly, republicanism and democracy have ever failed in the Middle East and Arabian gulf states, where monarchy and Islamic theocracy are preferred. The absence of peace and a stable government in Lybia, Iraq, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, and Afghanistan, are testaments of this fact! The current war in Palestine between Israel and Hamas, and the failure to establish the two-State solution further buttresses this point.

Throughout the world, people have been seeking for a better world, better environment, better life, peace, development, and order. Yet, no form of government has been able to provide these utopian ideals. The absence of these desires leads to wars, revolutions, demonstrations, etc., which all shows the inefficiency of human governments.

The previous US and Estonian elections have shown that rigging or perceived rigging, is not limited to Africa and Southern America, but also common in so-called matured democracies and advanced worlds. Can the West boast of better systems of governance again? Is corruption limited to only developing countries? Why are issues of corruption trumpeted in Africa and South America, but largely ignored in Europe, US, Canada, Russia, and China?

Ethnic minorities are being persecuted in Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Syria, and China…yet who hears about it? These people are discriminated against and marginalized by their own “governments”. In red China, Uyghurs, Muslims and Tibetans are forcefully sterilized, made to abort their babies or moved to concentration camps to “re-educate” them.

In democratic societies, demonstrations are rife and rampant. People demonstrate because they are not happy with what they are going through under the government or system. These show the inefficiency of human governments.

These innumerable issues with all the types of governance and policies around the world evince the imperfections of humanity and the so-called humanist manifesto designed by humanists to usher in a “better” world. Indeed, things will get worse and worse as the years roll by. Revolutions and wars will be waged, but nothing can satisfy humanity…

Because man has rejected his Maker and sought for himself a ‘better’ alternative. Man has sought to bar God from his thoughts, plans and government. Mankind wants to have a religion without God, a society without Biblical morality, a life without accountability to Jehovah…and Satan shall lead us into an abyss of no return.

The chaos and unsettled state of society, the crime, anger, looting, wars, all show that something is not right. People are fearful of what the future will bring. The fear of not living a better life is driving people to migrate, using dangerous routes.

The time is near when men will cry to God out of desperation. All plans, systems, alternatives etc. will be exhausted and men will have nowhere to turn to for relief and hope! We shall be humbled by the stupendous crises ahead of us…until we seek our Maker and turn to Him again!

Jehovah shall arise and destroy all human governments and establish His own under Christ…the stone that smote the feet of the image in Daniel 2. As Peter put it, we seek for a new Heaven and a new Earth wherein dwells righteousness. None but the government of Jesus can give us ultimate satisfaction, abundance peace and eternal life…
