Using man as his tool, Satan has developed a kingdom (the Bible refers to it as “the kingdom of this world”) that is based entirely on the principle of self and which is in complete opposition and contradiction to the “kingdom of heaven.”  Everything, therefore, that goes to make up this worldly system (kosmos) — nationalism, tribalism, politics, education, commerce, recreation, sports, social clubs, technology, etc. — is founded upon the principle of love of self, even though at times this principle may not be obvious.  According to 1 John 2:16, “all that is in the world” (i.e., without exception) is based or founded upon lust (i.e., love of self)....In capitalism only those who are strong-willed, those who are powerful, make it to the top; the rest are failures.... [Pastor Sequeira]

Agreed. Capitalism, with the intrinsic greed of corporations and the resulting destruction of environment and social systems, is the antithesis of the Kingdom of YHVH. Unrestrained capitalism is responsible for putting the world's food supply at risk by the widespread use of gmo's, hybrid seeds that can't produce more seed, and seriously limiting the variety of food crops. Capitalism moves into towns and sucks their wells dry, forcing the poor suckers who live there to find some other source of water. Capitalism funds wars and terrorism, allowing select corporations to make obscene profits on weapons that maim and kill.

 

I suspect the Kingdom of YHVH is based more on a system of self-supporting communes and a carefully controlled monetary system that can't be abused.
