From the beginning of mans history governments have impacted human worship or the religions of man. Most of the wars fought over man's history up to our day were and is because of the same reason.

New empires have come an gone, but one that has influence us greatly was the empire ruled by Constantine, the first Roman emperor to profess Christianity. He embraced this previously persecuted religion and set it on a path that led to the formation of Christendom. Thus, so-called Christianity became “the strongest social and political agent” ever to influence the course of history, according to The Encyclopædia Britannica.

His empire was not based on Bible although the culture and beliefs of the people was influenced down to our day. It did not improve the social, economic, or religious system, rather it legitimized a powerful political and religious entity, one that thus turned its back on Christ and embraced the world. “They are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world.” (John 17:14) From this church—that was now worldly—sprang countless denominations.

However things are changing, a new governmental regime has now begun to rule. It's quiet take over has been seamless. The people who fall under it's rule do so because they have learned about the benefits it offers. They have learned about the one who take the lead and what he will do for all of them.
This government is based on Bible. Recall that Jesus taught us to pray: “Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth.” (Matthew 6:10) That Kingdom is a world government in the hands of Jesus Christ that will replace all human rule. (Daniel 2:44) Under the rule of that Kingdom, God’s will regarding a paradise earth will “take place.”

Why can we be sure that the hope of Paradise ( Governmental Rule By Christ) on earth is not fantasy but reality? Because the Bible tells us: “As for the heavens, they belong to Jehovah, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.” The hope of Paradise on earth is one that “God, who cannot lie, promised long ago.” (Psalm 115:16; Titus 1:2)
