Every generation has believed it could design a better world.
New constitutions are written, revolutions promise fairness, and parliaments pledge justice for all.
Yet wars continue, poverty spreads, and distrust deepens.
Why do governments keep failing?
📖 “It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.” — Jeremiah 10:23
Jeremiah wrote those words over 2,000 years ago, but their truth is visible in today’s headlines.
Human rule — however sincere — was never built to succeed apart from divine direction.
1️⃣ Evidence Across History
Ancient kingdoms rose with splendor and fell in ruin. Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome — each promised peace, each collapsed under greed and pride.
Modern governments repeat the cycle.
- Democracies wrestle with corruption, polarization, and inequality.
- Autocracies preserve power through fear, not love.
- Socialist and capitalist systems alike breed both wealth and want.
Even well-intentioned reforms rarely cure injustice for long. History’s pattern itself becomes proof that no human structure can carry the weight of perfect justice.
📖 “Man dominates man to his injury.” — Ecclesiastes 8:9
2️⃣ The Global Pattern Today
From one continent to another, headlines echo the same refrain:
• Environmental policies stall while creation suffers.
• Political parties fight for power more than principle.
• Citizens grow weary of broken promises and deep division.
It isn’t a single nation’s failure — it’s a global diagnosis.
Jeremiah’s words describe not pessimism but realism: the human heart, unaided by God, cannot rule with sustained compassion.
📖 “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” — Romans 3:23
3️⃣ Jehovah’s Solution — A Kingdom That Works
Jehovah God never asked humans to perfect the planet on their own.
Instead, He promised a government that would succeed where all others collapse — a Kingdom ruled by His appointed Son, Jesus Christ.
📖 “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed.” — Daniel 2:44
That Kingdom will:
- End oppression and war. — Psalm 46:9
- Bring righteous administration. — Isaiah 9:6-7
- Provide abundance for all. — Psalm 72:16
Unlike human governments, it will never need elections, coups, or reform — because its King is incorruptible, guided perfectly by Jehovah’s justice and love.
Conclusion — Where True Comfort Lies
When governments fail, Jehovah’s people need not despair.
Every collapse, every scandal, every false promise reminds us that His solution is near.
The failures of human rule are not signs that hope is lost — they are signs that divine government is on its way.
So while nations argue and systems shake, we can stand calm, knowing the next world leader has already been chosen — and He will never disappoint.
📖 “The government will rest upon his shoulder… to endless peace there will be no end.” — Isaiah 9:6-7
Jehovah’s Kingdom is not a dream.
It is the coming reality that will finally do what no human government ever could — bring lasting peace, justice, and comfort to the whole earth.
