Isaiah 33:22 states:
“For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; He will save us”
While the Scripture says that God is Lord over all, it does define three branches of government; Judicial, Legislative, and Executive.
I wonder if the writers of the Constitution were influenced by this verse?
It seems that way to me.
The FFs were so rooted in the Bible that in most states/colonies, RCs were explicitly prohibited from holding office.
Charlie Kirk gave the exact stats in one of his college appearances. The video has been shown often in the last few days. It’s been posted on FR recently.
