1st Samuel 8:4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, 5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations. 6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the Lord.
In American democracy we have government by the people, and for the people, a system, which on the surface may savor of the best of intentions. But John the Revelator, describes America as a lamblike beast which essentially means that initially, the nation will be a thriving democracy, but is later scheduled to be changed into a despotic theocracy.
Now, if “We the People” begin to clamor for good, and righteousness, that is all well and good, but if the “People” begin to clamor for evil as is defined in the Bible, then the gradual, and ultimate dissolution of our American democracy would ensue, and will pave the way for a man-made theocratic form of government.
To put it more plainly, wherever the majority of any people, is made to guide, and dictate the laws, and principles of any nation, where God is not honored, it will just be a matter of time before the majorities will make demands that will put them on a collision course with God.
1st Samuel 8;7 And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. 8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
