No means no.

 John18:36KJV"Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence." 

Christ's kingdom is no part of the present civilisation it is meant to supplant,to replace the present civilisation not to ameliorate it.

The bible makes it quite clear that it is only after our resurrection that we begin  to rule as kings with Christ. 

Revelation20:6KJV"6Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years." 

Revelation2:10KJV"Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. " 

So only after a lifetime of tested and perfected integrity in the flesh. Do we get to rule as kings and priests with Christ(i.e all who are called and chosen). 

Thus it is not the business of the true Church to attempt to foist Christian religion/morals on this dying system at gunpoint as many of the fake churches of Christendom seem bent on doing. 

Nations come and go JEHOVAH'S kingdom is forever. 

Deuteronomy2:9KJV9And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession." 

The Moabites practiced the same disgusting demon worship that the Canaanites practiced(and for which they were being punished by God). Yet the Israelites were not to make it their business to impose God's law by force of arms on Moab. They fought to keep the (then national) Church clean not to clean up the world or even the region. 

Note please that the Moabites were assigned an inviolable possession by JEHOVAH, just like the Israelites were, JEHOVAH has given the unbeliever the right to his unbelief and the rebel the right to his rebellion. But why? Two reasons,1) he knows that folly is its own penalty 

Proverbs4:19NIV"But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble."  

2)He does not want hypocritical ingrates in his Church :

Psalms15:1,2ASV"1JEHOVAH, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?


2He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his HEART;" 

We owe our heavenly Father a debt that can never be repaid, and I'm not even referring to the forgiveness of our mountain of sins.

Acts14:17NIV"Yet he has not left himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.”" 

Our cup was already filled and he just kept pouring. The Lord JEHOVAH is the only one worthy of our vow of dedication. If you can't utter the vow from your heart then feel free to turn aside to which ever other God you imagine can take our Lord's place,pleasure,money,the Fatherland,the party ,the latest political messiah ,hey have at it.

But JEHOVAH'S loyalists choose to concur with the words of the ancient sage:

Joshua24:15ASV"And if it seem evil unto you to serve JEHOVAH, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve JEHOVAH."
