THESIS 46: ONLY ONE KING SELF-CONSCIOUSLY SERVES GOD

Although God is continually and sovereignly ordering all political entities for the eventual accomplishment of His purposes, rebellious men do not submit to and honor God as they should. Legal and personal recognition of Christ in the government of human society was prophesied in the Old Testament to be a characteristic of the Age inaugurated by the God-man Jesus Christ at His First Advent.[175] Seated at God's right hand (the Throne of David[176]), He would sovereignly and Spiritually order all things to accomplish justice on earth[177] and men would give due honor to Him.[178] It is the purpose of these Theses to nurture faithful obedience to these Command-Prophecies.
