God's intended model was not to have a monarch rule over us. It was for us to have God rule over us. Why must you spread lies and deceit?  You read me but you did not understand.  You also have not understood the verse you are quoting: it refers to the attempt of the People of Israel to separate kingship from prophecy, which confirms my point that the initial Divine Plan was to unite them in the person of His selected Prophet. As to my article, read again. I wrote: "The divine model of governance that we find described in Holy Books is based on the divine election of the king..." This is the essence of the reign of David, his son Solomon, the ones that came later and the one of the Messiah that is yet to come. All this is rooted in the eternal truth that God rules His creation through His creation. Can you find where it is revealed in Scriptures? Happy hunting!
