On the other hand, we can imagine bogeymen everywhere and flee when no one is pursuing. Oh the pleasures of paranoia.
You need to read and study prophecy. See what the Bible has to say about the kingdoms and governments of this world, and whose they are. And the true agendas motivating them. Not to say there aren't a few individuals in government who are well meaning and doing their sincere best to serve their communities. And it may be that even Good had placed them in their irregular position to be a voice for the downtrodden... A voice for those in greatest need in society. "The least of these My brethren". But in general, governments are tools in the hands of an enemy seeking whom he may devour. They are not your friend. They do not seek the welfare of mankind, but are led by men who seek to enslave. They are powerful and have far greater control and influence than you could imagine.
They are represented in prophecy by the woman of Revelation 18. Mystery Babylon the Great. And the judgement that is brought upon her is shared with those who sympathies, treaties, and connections are in accord with her policies.
KJV Revelation 18
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
All that were slain? This is not just a single enterprise or a single nation or even a single church. Babylon represents everything opposed to God in the last days. Materialism. False religion. All the merchants of the earth.. the great corporations listed earlier on... The oil corporations... Mining... Fashion... Building.... Pharmaceuticals... Food... And spiritual enslavement. (Verses 10-13). Here is pictured the great global fascist union of church, state, and corporate power and greed that deceives
all Nations and is finally and irrevocably judged and destroyed. This union is forming now. America will be there heart and soul of this union. Australia and New Zealand and Britain and the rest of the world will join them in this unholy matrimony and the world will even profess that it is being done with God's blessing and approval, even be His purpose.
KJV Revelation 17
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
The Victory of the Lamb
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
There are great portentous events yet to take place, but the time is short. In just 12 months we have had major catastrophic drought then fires and storms followed by floods, then the global debate over lgbtqfkbsdzopr issues, then covid, now race riots. All this in just 12 months. Conflict and debate and controversy followed by disaster and controversial government response to them all. Life is not as pleasant and comfortable as some would have us believe. People are suffering. Everywhere. And the churches by and large are impotent.
Even to surrounding the government itself and urging government to provide the right solutions... Which it cannot. And will not.
