The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.
Ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests.
We have no king but Caesar.
The Lord is our judge, the Lord is our king.
Theocracy is the rule of God. In Israel the Lord was King before the people asked for a king like the nations. He spoke by Moses, by the judges, and by the prophets. Samuel said they had not rejected Samuel. They had rejected the Lord from reigning over them. The monarchy was given. It did not erase the claim. The Lord shall reign for ever and ever. In the days of the Lord the people said they had no king but Caesar. Theocracy is the name for God’s own rule. It is not a human system with a religious coat. It is the Lord as King.
