He is a monarchist.. he owns literally everything, including the voters.

I agree, but He is a benevolent Monarch that allows His subjects to enjoy the fruits of their labors while we await His eternal Kingdom to come.

We do speak of the here and now, and the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30) & the parable of the parable of the Workers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16) tell us how He views money matters or capitalism while we live among the heathen.

That being said, I do believe the capitalism God suggested was much kinder and more honest then the capitalism most humans practice in today's modern society. Not that there are not honest capitalists, I work for one, but sadly most fall very short of the standard God expected man to follow.

One more point, Capitalism in its self is not a political entity, it is a monetary system. We on the earth practice different forms of monetary policy, and the policy of Capitalism in my humble opinion is the only one that respects an individuals personal freedom of choice. God is not a cosmic rapist, He wants us to come to Him willingly, and Capitalism allows for the prosperous to willingly help those in need.

That is the main Christian concept of sharing with those less fortunate, that is why some are blessed more than others. We are tested by what we get to see what our hearts will cherish, His precepts or our greed. God gives us all enough rope, the question is will we use it to hang our selves with it, or what Christ called us to do and help others who are truly in need.

“That being said, I do believe the capitalism God suggested was much kinder and more honest then the capitalism most humans practice in today's modern society.”

Don't be deceived by the propaganda of the MSM.

99% of capitalists (that is, each and everyone of us who wakes up and makes use of freedom, a free-market system, our interests and natural abilities to make a living) are honest, hard-working people.

The 1% that are greedy or criminal are the ones the MSM uses to denounce capitalism and call for its death by a thousand nicks, as Keynes said.

And let's not pretend that non- or anti-capitalists are somehow free of greed and dishonesty.

Greed is satisfied by two main vices: money and power. But they have the same unquenchable goal: worldly prominence. Those who seek money, do so because they believe it will make them powerful. Those who seek power do so because they believe it will make them wealthy.

And let's also be sure we do not confuse capitalists with corporatists, more and more of whom are becoming corporate socialists, colluding with government to establish monopoles. These are not capitalists, they are socialists. And they give all capitalists a bad name.

If... you are born again you also are a King and Priest..
How will YOU deal with the kingdom that has been given to you?..

Jesus is King of Kings.. How will you deal with those you have given to deal with?..
Tough love, or weak coddling.. or with fear and trembling by prayer?..

Its not easy being a King...
