A 'kingdom' is a group of people ruled by one person, the 'king', who  makes all the laws himself without their votes or approval. The concept  is anathema to contemporary democracy and its confidence in government  by the people, the naive assumption that majorities will always get it  right. History does not encourage optimism. There have been more bad  kings than good, even in God's chosen people Israel. 
 
Behind our world's problems, which baffle our finest politicians and  philosophers, lies a fundamental, racial and fatal error of having  chosen the wrong king. Born into his kingdom, he has deceived us into  thinking we can each of us be our own kingdom, inevitably clashing with  each other, as individuals or nations. 
 
The only solution is to find the right king and become his loyal  citizens. One day all other kingdoms will be shaken to pieces but this  will remain, for ever. Only then will the conflict, in which every one  of us is involved, be resolved.
