God and Government - Part 7

INTRO: We have been working our way through God and government in Scripture with a major purpose being to answer the question: Should a Christian go to War? We saw in Genesis how God committed government into the hands of man. We saw the growth of government from a family to the nation of Israel. We saw the time of the kings of Israel end with all government in the hands of unsaved Gentiles. Then Christ came on the scene. He did not change the system of government in the secular realm, as the Jews expected that He would. His life and ministry was instead, a transition to a new time period: the time of the Church.
