Kings are the antithesis of freedom. A King deserves less respect than the lowest Congressman. There isn’t the slightest way that a average guy can tell if the guy claiming to rule in God’s stead actually had his approval.
After Thomas Paine wrote ‘Common Sense’, any excuse for monarchy evaporated.

This is also why the papacy was very distrusted in our founders era.

....Yet in the Bible, King David is now remembered as a “man after God’s own heart.”

Also like it or not, and even now we have our own version of “royality” that would make a Thomas Paine do a break dance in his grave.

“A King deserves less respect than the lowest Congressman.”

Rude awakening when the warrior King of Kings finally returns and brings the Peace on Earth promised at His birth. Imagining Yeshua Messhiah ruling with a rod of iron in true justice and perfect mercy is where I go when I need to relax and feel joy. He was the perfect servant and is the perfect King.

Kids running around squealing with joy while being watched by their grandparents is a sound and sight I think is most like heaven. I also hate having to lock my doors and windows. The resurrected from the tribulation and the angels will be right around the corner making sure we are safe. Another perk will be that corporations will also be held to Biblical standards. Enjoy! I can only imagine with 25 million views.
