The Divine Call to Vote | A Messianic Perspective on America’s Governance
In this pivotal era for the United States, the significance of every individual’s role in the electoral process cannot be overstated. As revealed in the mystical dimensions of faith and Scripture, the Godhead, reigning from Bowie, Maryland, is calling on each citizen to exercise their sacred right to vote. This is not just a civic duty but a spiritual mandate — a reflection of Yahweh’s divine order, established before the foundation of the world. From the origins of human existence, government has been divinely instituted by Yahweh to bring about justice, peace, and the advancement of His Kingdom. As believers, we must heed this call with reverence, understanding the spiritual weight of our participation.
Yahweh’s Sovereignty Over Government
The government, in Yahweh’s design, mirrors the divine structure of His Kingdom. Isaiah 9:6 (World Messianic Bible) declares, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be on his shoulders.” This powerful declaration reveals that Yeshua HaMashiach carries the authority of global governance on His shoulders. As His followers, we must recognize that all governments on earth are established by the divine hand of Yahweh, and it is our duty to ensure that these governments are led by individuals who reflect the moral and righteous principles set forth in Scripture.
Sid Roth, in The Incomplete Church, emphasizes the importance of unity among God’s children to fulfill the larger purpose of ushering in Yahweh’s Kingdom on earth. Through the electoral process, we are called to align with this divine order and partner with the Godhead to manifest His will in governance.
Romans 13:1–2 reinforces this idea, reminding us, “Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.” Voting, then, becomes an act of faith — a sacred responsibility that aligns believers with the divine authority over all governments.
Policy, Leadership, and Divine Order
The role of policy and leadership is critical in determining the direction of a nation. Leaders set the moral and ethical standards by which societies operate. Proverbs 29:2 teaches, “When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.” It is imperative for believers to elect leaders who uphold justice, righteousness, and godly principles, ensuring that the nation reflects the divine laws of Yahweh.
John Paul Jackson and John Sanford, in Needless Casualties of War, warn that the spiritual forces influencing earthly institutions can either strengthen or destabilize governments. This highlights the importance of voting with discernment and spiritual awareness. As the Godhead holds the scepter of divine governance, He urges His people to select leaders who will steward their authority in accordance with the Kingdom’s values.
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump: A Divine Crossroad
In this political landscape, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump represent two divergent visions for America’s future. Kamala Harris, the current Vice President, has made significant strides in areas such as criminal justice reform, healthcare access, climate change, and social equity. Her platform is one that seeks to uplift marginalized communities and address systemic injustices. Harris’s commitment to inclusivity and her fight for social justice resonates with the scriptural mandate to care for the widow, orphan, and stranger (James 1:27).
Donald Trump, on the other hand, embodies a conservative vision of governance, with a focus on economic revitalization, national security, and preserving traditional family values. His “America First” policy seeks to reinforce national strength through economic and military power. For many believers, Trump’s stance on issues such as religious liberty, pro-life legislation, and national sovereignty reflects a desire to protect the spiritual and moral fabric of the nation.
The Messianic Vision: Building the New Jerusalem
As Messianic believers, our participation in the political process is deeply intertwined with the vision of the New Jerusalem. The World Messianic Bible offers a glimpse into this ultimate divine fulfillment in Revelation 21:2, where the New Jerusalem descends from heaven, symbolizing the establishment of God’s perfect Kingdom on earth. Our votes today lay the foundation for the righteousness, justice, and peace that will define the New Heaven and New Earth.
In Reading Moses, Seeing Jesus, it is emphasized that Yeshua HaMashiach is the fulfillment of the Torah, and through Him, we understand that our earthly governance must align with the heavenly standards revealed in Scripture. Our electoral choices become an extension of our covenantal relationship with Yahweh, preparing the way for the coming Kingdom.
The act of voting, therefore, is not just about selecting leaders — it is about participating in the divine plan to bring about the New Jerusalem, where justice will reign and the Godhead will dwell with His people.
The Global Government on His Shoulders
Isaiah 9:6 reminds us that the government rests on Yeshua’s shoulders, not only in a spiritual sense but also in the coming global governance that will manifest when Yeshua returns. Until that day, we are tasked with stewarding the institutions of this world in a manner that prepares the earth for His return. By voting, we become co-laborers with the Godhead in bringing forth righteous leadership and policies that reflect the divine will.
In The Council of Light, Danielle Rama Hoffman speaks of divine transmissions guiding believers to manifest their soul’s deepest desires. In the same way, Yahweh transmits His guidance to His people as they discern their role in shaping governance. Each vote is a step toward manifesting the divine vision for the world, one that will culminate in the global reign of Yeshua HaMashiach.
Conclusion: A Call to Divine Action
In this season of decision, the Godhead is extending His scepter, inviting each believer to rise up and engage in the electoral process with discernment and faith. Roberts Rules of Order teaches that structured, thoughtful action brings order to chaos, a principle that applies as we approach the election with prayer and a commitment to divine principles. Whether we align with Kamala Harris’s vision of justice and reform or Donald Trump’s defense of traditional values, our votes must reflect the Kingdom of God.
As we cast our votes, let us remember that we are not merely choosing leaders but partnering with Yahweh in establishing His Kingdom on earth. We are called to be His instruments of justice, peace, and righteousness, laying the groundwork for the New Heaven, New Earth, and New Jerusalem. Let us take up this divine responsibility with faith, trusting that Yahweh will guide our steps as we participate in His unfolding plan for the world.
