I tend to think that when the Kingdom is fully manifested on Earth, human society will be something like a confederation of Bruderhof communities. Government, as we know it, will fade away as all people become governed by the Spirit of Christ within. If all people are Christian and truly led by the Spirit, there will be no war and no crime, so armies and police will not be needed. As in Bruderhof communities, all is shared, so there will be no need for social services. There will be no need for taxes. This is looking centuries, not decades, into the future, but I believe that as more people become Christians and Christians yield increasingly to the guidance of Christ within, society in general will evolve (under the direction of God) in this direction. Those who are now called to live in Bruderhof communities (a very small minority of Christians at this time) foreshadow the relatively distant future!

Bruderhof communities~is not biblical. They are AnaBaptist, so they called themselves. But, it would be hard press to see what they truly believe about the scriptures, they have NO confession of faith, and truly do not stress the scriptures base on what little I have read. Maybe I could be proven wrong since I know little about them.

They are a group that only started around 100 Yrs ago in Germany and have about 3,000 followers and are not as simple as some may think They have around 50,000.000 with only 3000 followers. 

But, truly know very little about them other than they seem to be a cult the best I can tell.

Not really~

QuoteGenesis 24:60~"And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.

Anabaptists were (in most instances) Christians. Unfortunately the actions of a few extremists gave an incorrect impression of the movement as a whole.
George Fox had certain Anabaptist similarities but his central message is the Christ stands at the door of our spirits and knocks (Rev. 3:20) and spiritually unites Himself with all who heed His "knocking" and open themselves to Him. In this sense, Christ has already returned and is present in His corporate Body, the church (both universal and local; the latter existing when 2 or more Christians meet together in His name). If all members of the church had their wills completely united with His, Christ would operate through His corporate Body as completely as through His single material Body. I believe that God is moving the church towards this condition, but all Christians must become more open to Christ for this to happen. George Fox speaks to our generation!
