the kingdom of God is in direct opposition to the empire of man. it is rooted in a servant King who offered up His life for the many, rather than sucking the life out of the many for the few.

Around 300AD, when empire was centered in Rome, the kingdom of God was so impacting and undermining the empire of man from the bottom up, that darkness did the only thing it could do, to save itself… it merged empire with the kingdom of God.

when that happened, the mind of empire was injected into the kingdom of God on earth, retarding its growth.

the mind of empire continues to infect the kingdom of God and the church to this day.

but i believe we are entering a time when parts of the church will begin leaving Babylon…the place where Empire was birthed, to learn how to live free in the kingdom of God.
