Revelation 12:
1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
There is no need for a separate organization for political means. Every one knows the woman spoken of here is the Church of God. It plays off the analogy of Christ being the Bridegroom. Many people think this man child is Christ. But, Christ was not born of the Church, nor can someone give birth to themselves, since Christ is also one of the parents of this man-child. This man child is the Kingdom of God, which is the government that will rule all nations with the Word of God (iron rod).
This change will come instantly when Christ come again. This government body, if you will, is already set up all over the world, right down to the local level. Think of your Bishop as a Mayor and your Stake PResident as a Governor. All Christ has to do is flip the switch when He comes and POW, insta-governement.
