The Lord JEHOVAH has raised up but one savior i.e the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the savior not of the present civilization or any nation thereof ,but of repentant individuals.
Acts4:12BSB"Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”
There is no obligation/expectation placed upon Christians to attempt redeem the present civilization or any part thereof
John15:18,19KJV"“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. "
Our Lord could not save even his own nation from the judgement of his God and Father despite his powerful testimony.
John1:11KJV"He came unto his own, and his own received him not."
That is why the political meddling of Post Millennialists in the affairs of unbelievers is doomed to backfire.
1Peter4:15ASV"For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a MEDDLER IN OTHER MEN'S MATTERS: 16but if a man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name."
Those who suffer on account of interfering in the personal decisions of others are not suffering for the sake of Christ and his God and ought not to expect their help unless they repent from this antiChristian conduct.
Revelation17:15-17ASV"And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 16And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her utterly with fire. 17For God did put in their hearts to do his mind, and to come to one mind, and to give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished. "
A warning from the Lord JEHOVAH through his apostle Jesus Christ of what is going to be the result of not only Christendom's political meddling but all political theists.
