Is it just me, or does the concept of imposing de-centralization from the top down, seem oxymoronic?


I can think of a few indidents where this has happened before:

1) Bable

2) How many times was the temple destroyed in the Old Testament

3) New Testament Temple destruction.

I get the impression that God does not like centralization, the exception being when He does it. Scattering the sheep and then seeing which ones hear his voice seems to be a repeated tactic.

Having a king is good when you have a good king............
