   That's what I first stated:

   political   
   Affairs of this life".

   So you say, but it still doesn't alter the fact that the worldly political   
   scene is an "Affair of this life".   
      
   Therefore God's Elected children  will not take political office, nor will   
   they vote   
   in elections or take part in any other political activity.   
   They will not get involved in politics in any way.   
      
   For they know and understand that God has chosen our rulers, even though   
   we may not be able to understand His Divine reasons for doing so.   
      
   If we vote at an election, how do we know which political party or ruler God   
   has already chosen?   
      
   If we voted against the elected candidate, or government, then we shall know   
   we have been  *voting against* the one God has chosen!   
      
   It is most unwise to vote at all, as  we do not know which policies God is   
   introducing into a country and the reasons why He is doing so!   
      
   Thus two wrong serious errors of judgment are publically manifested before   
   unbelievers,  when professing Christians becoming involved in such forbidden   
   practises  in  the  probationary Elected saints walk to the kingdom.   
      
   "The holy ones have announced this so that every living creature will know   
   that the Most High has power over human kingdoms. He gives them to whomever   
   he wishes. He can place the lowest of people in charge of them"   
   Dan 4:17 (GW)   
      
   And St. Paul.   
   " No government would exist if it hadn't been established by God. The   
   governments which exist have been put in place by God. 2 Therefore, whoever   
   resists the government opposes what God has established"   
   Romans 13:1-2 (GW)   
   Amen!   
      
   What we do know,  is that eventually Jesus Christ will establish God's   
   Kingdom on earth. It is for that time that we look forward to participating,   
   and  then taking full part in the political arena of the kingdoms on the   
   earth.   
      
   And Christ himself:   
   "That which ye have, hold fast till I come. 26 And he that overcometh, and   
   he that keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give authority over the   
   nations: 27 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the   
   potter are broken to shivers; as I also have received of my Father: 28 and I   
   will give him the morning star. 29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what   
   the Spirit saith to the churches."   
   Rev 2:25-29 (ASV)   
   Amen!
