Furthering the Kingdom of God by VIP’s
I have much sympathy with Leopold Scholtz’s opinion (Die Burger, 17 September 2016)  with regard to the outcome  of the American’s general election having  the top leadership in mind. His critical view on the lack of universal statesmanship calls for some remarks with regard to values in this columns. How can peace and general prosperity being promoted in a crime and war stricken world? While Dr. Scholtz , an historian and no theologian forwarded his opinion, bear with me also commenting on the probable spiritual outcome of the present American electoral campaign.
Of course there is nobody living who could claim being absolutely free from sinful attitudes. This would also apply to the world’s Number Ones, so clearly under the spotlight, people to whom the leadership of nations are entrusted. So, where must we start addressing the problem? A problem as old as humanity itself, even clearly brought to the light in Holy Scripture dating many ages ago.
Why in Scripture? Because many so called adherents of the faith completely missed out on the Theocratic vision of the Kingdom of God. Inspired Scripture counts it worth the while that prayer should be offered on behalf of rulers of nations supposedly governing us. Please take note of the contrast in the prophecy of Zachariah (11: 4-12), notably vers 6’s corruptive king and the shepherding king of the following verse. Our Lord said that whoever wants to be great in the Kingdom of God must be everybody’s servant. So, where do we start? Praying for the notables of the world, creates a worldwide attitude or longing for the coming of the alternative society, a forerunner for the Kingdom to come in completion ( Rev. 21/22).
As a matter of proper hermeneutics, explaining Scripture in its true context, I’m fearing, was much neglected in preaching of olden and modern times. Take for instance the contrast being drawn between two parables of our Lord (Matt. 25:14-30; Luc.19:11-28), which are not to be taken for one and the same. The differences are so clear that the effort of High Criticism to make it one and the same is clearly impossible. The Lucan variant was told when Jesus was entering Jericho on His way to Calvary, a Shepherding King, who brought new life to Zacchaeus, a tax collector of bad reputation (Luc. 19:10). The Servant King has clearly distanced Himself from “a certain nobleman  who went to a far country to receive for himself a kingdom…”(NKJV) Everyone in the following of Jesus at this stage knew that the parable referred to Archelaus, son of Herod, a royal family which was much hated by the Jewish population ( Norval Geldenhuys, Commentary of the Gospel of Luke. P 477).
Notables of the world
Listening to the candidates of the American presidential election one hears very little of justice according  to the values of the Kingdom of God, but a lot of humanistic rhetoric with regard to the American constitution,  either promoting socialistic values or traditional Americanism.
Having had the opportunity to watch the inauguration of the president- select, mr. Donald Trump, the closure words  of his speech and seeing him attending the statutory prayer meeting, the day after,  his body language gave me the impression of a willingness to govern adhering to the ways of God.  Let us remember to pray for the notables of the world.
