I submit that you might be looking at "government" in the wrong light
here. It is true that there is no geographical "Christland". Yet, I
submit that the Theocracy is very much alive, in the form of a loose
United Church. Some of us may dwell in one of the Catholic, Protestant
or Pentecostal "states". Yet we are united in following our
Priest-King, Jesus Christ, who is orchestrating his people - regardless
of our socio-political backgrounds - to accomplish quite amazing
things.
If you go back to the Old Testament, God did not want His people to have
a king like all the other nations. He was to be His people's king.
That is what we today are all about - serving the King of kings. So
yes, I see that form of government on earth. :-)
Blessings,
Don
