Why will Christ's future kingdom be glorious according to Les?
Christ's future kingdom will be glorious because it will be a kingdom of one, with Him exercising absolute power. There will be no confabs and no consensus, avoiding the weakness of many decision-makers in earthly governments. This singular, decisive rule stands in contrast to democracy and the inferior empires seen in human history.
Les explains that when Christ sets up His kingdom again, it will be so glorious because it will be a kingdom of one. Christ will have absolute power, and there will be no confabs and no consensus. Unlike democracy, which is loved and is the greatest form of government but is probably the worst when it comes to getting something done, Christ’s rule will not be weakened by many people involved in decision-making. Nebuchadnezzar, like other great dictators, kept decision-making within himself, but he was a despot and totalitarian with no concern for his subjects, and the empires of Daniel 2 were politically inferior to the one before.
