# Collapse of Governments
When the rightful King ascended to the eternal throne, the scandal that is "government" was forced into the light of day.
We could no longer have a king, if Christ is King. We could no longer have a president, when Christ the High Priest presides over the eternal liturgy.
It is a reversal of the sin that happened when the people of Israel, in their desire to be like other nations, demanded a king.
"Tell us therefore what dost thou think, is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites? Shew me the coin of the tribute. And they offered him a penny. And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this? They say to him: Caesar's. Then he saith to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God, the things that are God's."
"Suffer both to grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn."
And there are many other places where Our King says that we need not be concerned by these pretenders and usurpers, the day of judgment will come for them just as it will come for you and me.
Suffer government as one of the many injustices of this world, but do not let it steal the peace God gives you.
Many in the Church have furthered this teaching throughout the ages, showing that even those who find themselves within the machinations of a governing structure can at least steer it in a better direction, by aligning themselves closely with Christ, and following His direction, so as to allow Him to govern through them.
But even better, do not ever begin a government, or help to further one.
Instead, do as Our King teaches: give food to the hungry, drink to the thirsty, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, care for the sick, and visit the imprisoned.
