The upcoming election has pushed you over the edge.
Because I see a similarity between Israel in 1st Samuel 8 and the United States in 2016? You think I'm over the edge?
Israel had God to be their protector, their leader, their provider, they're everything. The God of the universe. Yet they wanted a King like all of the various tribes around them. Eventually God gave them a King.... and through out the rest of their history before 70AD, the Kings robbed them and just served their own ego. (Except a few such as David). God gave them the kings they wanted and it destroyed their nation.
This country wants a King. For sure. We want a strong man who will "set things right". Who will "set things the way they should be." A strong king who will throw out all of the other elected officials, or all of the old ways. A strong king who will steal from the rich and give to the poor.... or a strong king who will reverse that. Two differing sides with differing wants, yet one thing in common. Both sides want a king.
I believe that. Call me over the edge if you want. But we are going to lose our constitutional republic. It is coming. It is what God gave us, but we are choosing something different, just like Israel chose different.
Yeah.. that's my opinion.
