Usually the word politeuma is related to Greek city states or poleis. In this context politeuma can mean “government,” “citizenry,” “polity,” or “state,” or, as a technical term, it can refer to the body of citizens who had political rights.1 The Ptolemies seem to have adopted the word politeuma and transferred it to a specific form of association which was apparently destined for organized groups of persons living within an urban area.

This word pops up in St Paul's writings, along with Johns Revelation. when l witness Christians firmly involved in national politics see  difficult often corrupted path opening up. Temptation look very many, often finical powers that corrupt.


But there is local to myself  at a home l pass frequently. An example of someone being involved in national politics and not being corrupted.

Bonhoeffer, “How would you expect to find community while you intentionally withdraw from it at some point? The disobedient cannot believe; only the obedient believe.”

Quite a few who stood up around political issues. But there has been a cost with some losing their own life.
Politics regional and local, are holding election this day, cant see many rising to the heights of the esteemed people above.

“Feelings are much stronger than thoughts. We are all led by instinct, and our intellect catches up later”
― Bono

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
