Building an empire or building a kingdom

Building an Empire or Building a Kingdom

With our efforts, the Lord’s Kingdom is rolling throughout the earth. It will be established in all parts and only then will we have peace under His divine leadership.

Building an Empire or Building a Kingdom

Dictionary.com defines an empire as “a group of nations or peoples ruled over by an emperor, empress, or other powerful sovereign or government: usually a territory of greater extent than a kingdom.”

It defines a Kingdom as “a state or government having a  king  or queen as its head

anything conceived as constituting a realm or sphere of independent action or control: or the domain over which the spiritual sovereignty of God or Christ extends, whether in heaven or on earth.”

 

The scriptures continually teach us to build the kingdom of God upon the earth. Why does He not instruct us to build an empire when there are so many nations upon the earth? This question is easy. Ultimately, those who remain on the earth after His coming will be united in one faith and we will have one head. That head will be none other than our Savior and Creator of the world, Jesus Christ. Our goal in spreading the gospel is not to seek power or control over other people, dominating them as we spread from nation to nation but to spread the Lord’s love and atoning power to every nation on the earth.

 

Not being a Star Wars fan, I can’t quote any lines from the movies, but I am aware of the empire which Darth Vader seems to be trying to conquer at a great cost to human life.  President Hinckley commented about this kind of tragedy. He said, “We sometimes are prone to glorify the great empires of the past, such as the Ottoman Empire, the Roman and Byzantine Empires, and in more recent times, the vast British Empire. But there is a darker side to every one of them. There is a grim and tragic overlay of brutal conquest, of subjugation, of repression, and an astronomical cost in life and treasure… I think our Father in Heaven must have wept as He has looked down upon His children through the centuries as they have squandered their divine birthright in ruthlessly destroying one another.”1

We are not here to divide and conquer but to bring peace, comfort, and solace to those in need. A kingdom suggests one nation led by one sovereign with one purpose, one goal and united as a people. The Lord taught us in D&C 38: 27 “…I say unto you, be  one ; and if ye are not one ye are not mine.”

With our efforts, the Lord’s Kingdom is rolling throughout the earth. It will be established in all parts and only then will we have peace under His divine leadership. For now, Satan rages in the hearts of man, attempting to divide and conquer. For now, his empire exists to torment, to hurt and to lead men away into paths of unrighteousness. For now, we are subject to weaknesses and temptations. It is our responsibility to fight against his empire in favor of the Lord’s kingdom that peace may reign as we welcome our King, our holy Sovereign, the Savior back to the earth in a coming day.

1.“War and Peace,” President Gordon B. Hinckley, General Conference, April 2003

  • Recover all the money you lost to internet scams including cryptocurrencies
    To whom it may concern, I made an initial investment of roughly $380,000 on a binary option platform. After several transactions, I chose to withdraw my money because according to the website I had made a lot of profits, however the withdrawal was unsuccessful. I made several attempts in contacting them but it all failed. I made every effort and filed a report to recover my money by contacting the police department in charge of investigating fraudulent situations, but nothing was successful. Since my attempt with the police failed, I tried other possible means to make sure I recover my stolen crypto coin. I reached out to a hacker whose reviews I had read online; Ryan Ackroyd Wizard, I contacted them through theiremail on:ryanackroydwizardfundsrecovery@gmail.com and they came in handy at the right time.

  • Good work speaks for itself. Not sayingthis just to seem relevant neither is it a paid advertisement or review. But everyonewho has had their funds or crypto stolen can listen, attest, and affirm that, that’sthe most depressing thing ever. Your mind keeps bullying you on how you saw thesigns and indications of how that investment was just a scheme but went ahead to make the deposit or give out your details. Before I met Ryan Ackroyd Wizard, the savior of my 3 BITCOINS fraudulent loss, I had run into a sunken spirit. Life seemedlike a huge game at the moment. Shortly after trying them out, they sent me avideo of how they had tapped into the account holding my BTC. In an account inBerlin. It was a quick operation from there to ensure the BTC was not withdrawnor transferred by the fraudsters. My cryptos were back and that came as a hug relief to my engraved mind. I do believe now that all hope is not lost and there exists trustworthy and credible hackers out here. All the best as youseek help too.
