"The Kingdom of God, Part 1" by Orson Pratt is a theological exploration from the 1800s, written by a leader in the Latter-day Saints movement, that explores the idea that God's rule is the only true power on Earth. Pratt explains what God’s Kingdom is like and why it’s important to follow God’s laws instead of the ones humans make up. He strongly disagrees with current governments, saying they don't have the right to rule and are going against God. Pratt calls for a system where God rules through revelation and chosen leaders. He examines seven important topics to help people understand God's Kingdom, while also questioning common Christian beliefs about God and the need for new messages from Him alongside specially chosen people to perform important religious ceremonies. The book ultimately pushes for a society controlled by God's Kingdom, with specific rules and roles for its people.
