The German government has collapsed. The government of France has collapsed. Britain’s government is on the verge of collapse. So is Canada’s.

Syria just collapsed, with rebel forces ousting long-time strongman President Bashar Assad. I watched footage of a rebel who took Damascus declare in no uncertain terms: Jerusalem is next. While they will meet intense resistance, such is the state of the Mideast. The world desperately needs solutions—and fast!

War in Europe is intensifying. After the United States authorized Ukraine’s use of U.S.-made ATACMS missiles, Russia’s immediate response was to publicly update its nuclear doctrine, allowing for a nuclear response to conventional (non-nuclear) attack if determined necessary.

The threat of response soon moved beyond the theoretical. Kyiv very quickly used its new authorization to fire on Russia, prompting intensified talk of World War III. Only a day after the first volley of these sophisticated missiles struck Russian soil, the U.S. evacuated its embassy in Kyiv on reports of an imminent Russian response. No end of articles now speak either of how World War III could soon begin or that it already has begun!

In December, the Secretary General of NATO warned, “Danger is moving towards us at full speed. We must not look the other way. We must face it.” He also stated, “I’ll be honest: the security situation does not look good. It’s undoubtedly the worst in my lifetime. And I suspect in yours too.”

It is now obvious we are closer to nuclear conflict than ever before—with a best-case scenario being a World War fought using highly sophisticated and destructive conventional weapons. Of course chemical weapons are always loitering “off stage.”

The American president-elect is working in the background on a solution, but little, if any, real progress has been reported. It was on the basis of bringing peace, security and financial stability that he was elected. There was even hope he could end the conflict before taking office, which, with ongoing developments, has become increasingly unlikely.

The only thing everyone seems to agree on is that America—and the world—are in desperate need of change!

The incoming president is promising government reform on an unprecedented scale. He has commissioned a new Department of Government Efficiency led by the richest man on Earth to “dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal agencies.”

So dramatic is the planned overhaul that the president-elect called it “the ‘Manhattan project’ of our time”—meaning change would be as consequential as the development of nuclear weapons.

This department is tasked with ending its charge by July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of the nation. Even the president’s political detractors recognize the need for change—and want it! The waste and fraud in public and private sectors are so far-reaching, however, that ferocious resistance is inevitable. The red tape built into existing law will present great challenges. But assume for a moment America could be restored to great prosperity, or even ascend to unparalleled prosperity, with success positively impacting the rest of the world.

The question is: Would it be enough? Take a moment to read what God explained to ancient Israel about a grave danger.

Speaking of the promised land with great material blessing, Moses explained in Deuteronomy 8:7-9: “…the Lord your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; a land wherein you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig brass.” This is a description of great prosperity! America is already the most blessed nation on Earth—perhaps most closely resembling what is described above.

Moses then went on to tell the Israelites this should result in gratitude, but also issued a warning: “When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you. Beware that you forget not the Lord your God, in not keeping His commandments, and His judgments, and His statutes, which I command you this day: lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God…and you say in your heart, My power and the might of mine hand has gotten me this wealth. But you shall remember the Lord your God: for it is He that gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore unto your fathers, as it is this day” (vs. 10-18).

America has already forgotten God! This would not change with increased economic prosperity. In fact, the record of history is that the opposite occurs! The story of America has become a long litany of every kind of abominable belief and practice known to man.

More than anything this is what must change. Technological advancement, fiscal responsibility and safety are all hallmarks of a great civilization, but Christ explained the foundation on which society must rest for true success: “man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God” (Matt. 4:4).

The utopia that all people long for cannot come without the Kingdom of God. Isaiah 11 describes a time when the poor will be judged “with righteousness” and the wicked who are unwilling to change will be destroyed. Even accidents will not occur. But here is a description of no more wild animal attacks: “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain…” (vs. 6-9).

The reason this is possible is explained in the latter half of verse 9: “for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” In one sense, Jesus Christ was the ultimate revolutionary. He announced this Kingdom wherever He went. Government reform on a supernatural scale—in every nation on Earth—was His constant focus. This is why His disciples asked Him before He left Earth, “Will You at this time restore again the Kingdom to Israel?” (Acts 1:6). They knew dramatic change was coming and hoped it would be in their lifetimes. Now, nearly 2,000 years later, it will come in our lifetimes!

True Christians each day pray, “Your Kingdom come.” They want God’s “will [to] be done in earth, as it is in heaven” (Matt. 6:10), and look forward to helping bring about that change as leaders in this Kingdom. A new video series about this Kingdom has been posted on our website, with two parts already available. Watch them for truly life-changing understanding!

Sincere human effort can only go so far in bringing about much-needed change. Very soon—well before America’s 250th anniversary—the nation will be far greater than the best minds can fathom or the most impoverished can long for, but not through human effort. In fact, the entire world will see great peace and prosperity!

If you want to be among those to affect real change in this coming worldwide Government, request my free book Where Is the True Church? – and Its Incredible History! The world will soon be “delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God” (Rom. 8:21)—those He has trained in His true Church down through the millennia.

A broken world plagued by thousands of years of bad “management” will be fixed! Mankind will not just obey all of God’s laws, they will look to Him for solutions to every problem. You now understand how true reform will come to a world that needs it even more desperately than it understands! Thank you to all who support this Work, or who will choose to do so, ensuring this message can “freely” reach the world (Matt. 10:8).
