THE FIRST TRUE CHRISTIAN THEOCRACY WILL BE SET UP THIS CENTURY. In Fact, There Is Every Indication That This Will Occur Sometime In The Next Twenty-Five Years. However, this theocracy will not be located at the Vatican but in Jerusalem.

Why weren't there ever any significant Christian theocracies?

There is going to be a Christian theocracy when Lord Jesus Christ returns to Earth to reign for a thousand years.

• Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while. Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they shall reign with him a thousand years. And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be loosed from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations which are at the four corners of the earth, that is, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. And they marched up over the broad earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city; but fire came down from heaven and consumed them, and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (Revelation 20:1-10)

However, until such time, anyone claiming that he is the Vicar of Christ on Earth is an imposter. 

When people speak of the Holy Roman Empire, this was not a theocracy of any sort, unless you call the kingdoms of men controlled by the god of this world a theocracy.

• In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the likeness of God. (2 Corinthians 4:4)

There has never been a Christian theocracy where Lord Jesus Christ reigns as the King of kings. Although, Lord Jesus Christ reigns in the hearts of men and women, for the Kingdom of God is within the individual, not without, nor part of this world. Therefore we learn that currently, the Kingdom of God is within each individual who allows Lord Jesus Christ entry. We learn of this in the book of Revelation:

• Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. He who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. (Revelation 3:20-21)
• Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:20-21)
• And you he made alive, when you were dead through the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience. Among these we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of body and mind, and so we were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.(Ephesians 2:1-3)

While at the present time Lord Jesus Christ exerts His influence from within the hearts and minds of people who desire Him to be part of their lives, there will come a time when everybody will be born into a theocracy of which the only King of kings reigns. This will last for one thousand years and those who are born into the theocracy will not be automatically born again for they will get this option at the end of their lives. Meanwhile, they will have no desire to sin because their will not be any influence by the current god of this world to prompt them to sin or deceive them in any way.

Today, we are born into the captivity of the Evil One, the Prince of the Power of the Air, who influences us with a deadly virus that leads to death. People disbelieve that the power of the Evil One is able to control the air, but when you learn how influenza spreads, you begin to understand how a sinful influence pervades the Earth and the Prince of the Power of the Air reigns, the god of this world. Just because people cannot see the god of this world they scoff. They scoff at influenza too, I expect because they cannot see it. They feel influenza, though. Likewise, we all feel sin, even though we may not like to acknowledge this fact—guilt is usually what we suffer, until we become numbed, hardened, and callous of heart towards our Creator; no longer capable of distinguishing the true from the false, the good from the evil, nor the right thing from the wrong thing.

When people have the flu, it will take its course and last a couple of weeks or more. When people give into sin, it takes it course and leads people to despondency and death. This is not going to happen when Lord Jesus Christ reigns on Earth; which will be the time of the only Christian theocracy.
