The world must get back to acknowledging the One True God. In country after country we read of leaders murdering whole races of people. In Germany, China, Rwanda, Russia, Nigeria, and Samaria millions have been murdered and tortured since 1945.
I was reading about the lifestyle of Nancy Lanza, mother of the murderer of children in Connecticut. It spoke of her Sunday’s spent in a bar, and of her interest in guns. It spoke of her need to cope with severe mental illness of her son. Another article pointed out that there are many mothers in America trying to cope with this illness in their children. We all need God to help us cope.
Have you read the history we are given of the time of the Kings, from King Saul until the last king was taken prisoner in Babylon? Along with this history we are given God’s part in it through the prophets God sent. It is amazing how politics has not changed. And people have not changed. We have running water, airplanes, corporations, and multimedia now, but all the basics such family or the need for well being are the same. Our God remains the same, with the same principles except they had Christ as a shadow. Atonement was by sacrifice, now atonement is by Christ’s actual blood sacrifice of Christ, not a shadow. We have much to learn about our world today by reading how it operated in the time of the Kings.
Few people related political troubles to their lack of living as God’s children then. Few people do, today. They have political discussions that do not include God at all. Our bible points out that it was God in control in the era of the Kings. I believe we are to read this history and see the God principles there that are as true today as they were then. God is still in control. We are also to see what God requires of us to manage our government and why things go wrong.
