Okay, at this point you're going to need to produce Scripture where Jesus tells Christians to be in charge of governments and set up an earthly kingdom for Him.

OK...off the cuff, how about: “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth, Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations...Matt 28.

Nothing about not trying to influence the nations (including governments...).

I think perhaps the better choice of words would be “serve” or even “govern people righteously” rather than “control governments” or “be in charge of governments.” I think that serving is very much in God’s nature.
