Imagine two pieces of cloth. One
with a sewn border, the other borderless. Each cloth represents a government. The
threads of both cloths are the individuals of the government. The weave is the social
rule in that government. Human governments are like the cloth with the sewn
boarders. They are limited in the extent of their rule, not only
geographically, but eventually in time as well—for all human governments eventually
change oversight and methods. However, the borderless cloth represents God’s
rulership. God’s rule is universal. God is not restricted by area, limited by
time, or threatened with potential extinction. The threads in his government are always open to accepting more to be woven in. The weave displays a beautiful pattern of cooperative love based on the two greatest commandments.
