The Kingdom of God has existed aeons before the United States and will remain true ages after the every contemporary nation is a distant memory.
Likewise, the Gospel of Jesus Christ predates every political party, economic theory, and social ideology. These all will turn to dust, but the Gospel will remain true forever.
Granted, as Hugh Nibley says, some of our pressing options can be shown to be more or less desirable. But “all flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls” (1 Peter 1:24).
None of these temporal concerns are the gospel, the kingdom, or our salvation.
None of them are remotely eternal or true the way that Jesus is.
