No be only Jesus go rule. People from “every tribe and language and people and nation . . . go rule as kings over the earth.” (Revelation 5:9, 10) How many people go rule with Jesus Christ? Since Jesus come this earth, millions of people don become e disciples. Na all of them go rule with Jesus? No. Na only 144,000 people among them, go go heaven to rule with Jesus. (Read Revelation 14:1-4.) All the other Christians go dey for this earth under the Kingdom.—Psalm 37:29.
3. How the Kingdom of God better pass the governments for this world?
Even when rulers for this world de try to do good things, they no get the power to do everything wey they want do. After some time, other rulers wey de only de think about theirself fit replace them and no go want help people. But nobody go replace Jesus, the ruler for the Kingdom of God. God don “start one kingdom wey nothing go fit scatter.” (Daniel 2:44) Jesus go rule over the whole earth and e no go do partial for the way e de treat people. Jesus get love, e dey kind and e no de do partial. E go teach people to treat other people with love, to dey kind, and to no de do partial.—Read Isaiah 11:9.
