There is a righteous one-world government on earth right now. After His resurrection from the dead, Jesus said, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth." The light of God has continued to increase on earth since that day. This is the greatest time for the church of Jesus Christ. All creation is eagerly waiting for the revealing of the sons of God. Death came to all the earth as a result of Adam and Eve's sin. Since man had dominion over all living things on the earth, everything under his authority began to die as well. Jesus has won the victory over the devil and death in the eternal realm. He is victorious forever. The spirit of Jesus now dwells in His believers. Now His body on earth will secure the victory in the temporary realm through His power. Death will be swallowed by victory. Mortality will be swallowed by life. Arise, shine--your light has come. The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
