Scripture is clear: our primary identity is "citizens of heaven" (Philippians 3:20).
Love for nation should channel into dual mission of Kingdom
1 Evangelism – sharing the Gospel.
2 Discipleship – Christlike justice and mercy.

A critical distinction: Sin (khata) is the stumble; Iniquity (avon) is the chosen, prideful path of corruption.
Wicked rulers depend on believers who can't tell the difference.

More in the history of slavery that's not history but actually taking place right now:

"Most new prisoners begin working in the cotton fields. A prisoner may spend years working there before gaining a better job.[29]"

In Angola parlance, a "freeman" is a correctional officer.[131]"

Tension between a covenant of principles and the pursuit of national interest?
Scripture leans hard toward God's rules—justice, mercy, humility—as the true path for any people. Where do we see this playing out today?

The intended role of rulers was spiritual: to guide in God’s law and justice. Yet free will remained. Hosea 8:4 stands as an eternal warning against self-appointed authority and idols of human making. True power is divinely aligned.

The Bible’s tyrants—from Pharaoh to Herod—are not footnotes. They are cautionary signs showing how power corrupts and divine justice responds. Studying them is studying the timeless struggle between human pride and God’s sovereignty. #History #Bible #PowerCorrupts #Theology #AncientHistory

Deuteronomy 17's "Law for Kings": A radical, ancient framework. The king is chosen by God, must study His Law constantly, and must not multiply wealth, horses, wives, or self-exaltation. Leadership as sacred service.

God didn’t fight for Israel because of favoritism, but because of faithfulness. When Israel obeyed, He fought their battles. When their kings turned to idolatry and injustice, they fought alone—and fell. It was always about justice.

The vineyard owner refused to sell his ancestral inheritance, Jezebel orchestrated judicial murder, used false witnesses & corrupt officials. Naboth was stoned.

It did not end well for Jezebel.
