A fundamental principle of God's governance asserts that unrighteous anger, hostility, and temper contradict the reality of God's sovereignty. Such emotions often stem from a denial of the truth that God is in control, leading to destructive attempts to manipulate or punish rather than seeking solutions in harmony with His will. This denial was evident in Aaron and Miriam's hostility toward Moses, as they sought to elevate themselves by diminishing him, failing to recognize that God places individuals where He desires and assigns responsibilities according to His purpose. Similarly, God has positioned both faithful and unfaithful leaders, as well as unrighteous kings over Israel and Judah, using their actions to accomplish His will, even when the reasons remain beyond human understanding until later reflection. Another aspect of this reality is seen in Moses and Aaron's momentary lapse, where they focused on the lesser reality of the Israelites' rebellion rather than God's instructions, resulting in disobedience and anger that God identified as unbelief. This unbelief, a form of denying God's reality, prevented Israel from entering the promised land and affected even its leadership. In contrast, Jesus Christ came to bear witness to truth, embodying the reality of God's governance as the King of kings, to whom God has delivered all things. Those who hear and obey His voice humbly submit to this reality, while those who reject it attempt to control circumstances themselves, often through anger or hostility. Ultimately, God's governance extends even to the smallest events, such as the falling of sparrows, particularly as they impact His chosen people. Living with this reality fixed in mind, as exemplified by Moses and John the Baptist despite their imperfections, enables one to act with humility and patience, aligning with the greatest Reality of all—God's sovereign control.

God's governance stands as the ultimate authority over all forms of human government, regardless of their structure or origin. He is always at the apex of every chain of command, sovereign and firmly in control, even when human eyes fail to see it. His supremacy is the foundation of all government, and submission to Him is the basic law of the universe. He rules, and we must submit, for any attempt to avoid or subvert this reality reveals human perverseness. The success of future times, such as the Millennium and the Great White Throne Judgment, hinges on proper godly government. Those who submit to God's authority in this life, learning to be governed and to control themselves, will be granted authority to govern others in the world to come. They will reign for a thousand years, equipped with experience and wisdom gained through following Jesus Christ, to teach and rule with understanding of human weaknesses. God has worked through various human governmental forms throughout history, from patriarchal systems to theocratic monarchies, stratocracies, judgeships, human monarchies, and imperial governorships. Despite their human origins and flaws, He has moved His plan forward within these structures, producing good outcomes without mandating a specific form. His focus is not on the organizational chart but on the faithfulness and character of those within it, ensuring they serve under His headship. Jesus Christ is pre-eminent in all things, the Head of the church, and the most critical factor in any government. Whether a hierarchy or another form is employed, its success depends on submission to Him and working in love for the benefit of all. God's tendency to work top-down through a chosen individual does not preclude other organizational supports, as long as faithfulness to Christ remains the bottom line. His holy, just, and righteous reign over all people provides the necessary foundation to live faithfully, peacefully, and joyfully under His governance.

God's governance stands as the highest plane of reality, the most real and permanent factor in existence. His sovereignty and control over His creation are unchanging truths, surpassing all temporary and unreliable authorities in this world. When Jesus Christ declared that He came to bear witness to reality, He was proclaiming the gospel of the Kingdom of God, affirming that a literal Kingdom will be established on earth to manifest God's governance clearly. He emphasized that everyone rooted in this reality of God's Kingdom hears and obeys His voice, as He is the Spokesman of that truth. Understanding God's governance as the foundational reality offers a new lens through which to view life. A humble person submits to this reality, willingly yielding to God's sovereignty, justice, and the outworking of His will. John the Baptist exemplified this principle, recognizing that all authority comes from heaven and humbly accepting his role under God's governance. He acknowledged that Christ must increase while he must decrease, trusting God to manage all things according to His purpose.

Nothing is more real than God's sovereignty and governance, surpassing all other realities. A humble person submits to this reality, recognizing that God is intensely active in governing and managing His physical and spiritual creation. Exceptional leaders, like Moses and John the Baptist, embody this humility by willingly seeking and following God's direction rather than their own. When a leader allows God to lead, they become a conduit for His outworking, enabling truly great accomplishments because God's ability far exceeds human grasp. Moses, despite being a great leader, remained silent in the face of accusations, knowing that since God alone had placed him in his position, only God could remove him. God's defense of Moses focused on the paramount reality of His governance over Israel through Moses, overshadowing lesser concerns. Every human leader, save the Son of God, has flaws, but the reality of God's Kingdom and sovereign control overshadows human imperfection. When correction is needed, God will act in His time and way, making it essential for us to align with Him and humbly submit to His direction. Conversely, unrighteous anger, hostility, and temper deny the reality of God's sovereignty, often manifesting as a selfish response to circumstances not going our way, ignoring the greater truth of His control over our lives, the church, and the world.
