The kingdom of God is a theocracy. And as it is the only form of government which will redeem and save mankind, it is necessary that every soul should be rightly and thoroughly instructed in regard to its nature and general characteristics. ↗

I have the same feeling when I walk in a very beautiful place that I have when I play and it goes right. ↗
