Bible Question (short): Anarchy or pacifism? What's biblical? |
Question (full): Greetings all :) A little query here, that I haven't yet figured out, after many years of bible study. The Prophet Daniel showed humble subservience to the cruel monarch Nubuchadnezzar, even praising the king when Daniel was thrown to the lions by him. In this way, he ascended to be a high officer within the oppressive kingdom of Babylon, despite having entered the country as a meager slave prisoner, after the wholesale slaughter of his homeborn relatives. However, the Prophet Moses took a very different approach in regards to the Pharaoh of Egypt. Moses was much more direct in his confrontations toward Pharaoh, even warning him of the deaths of all the firstborn of the nation, if the evil ruler was not responsive. Notwithstanding the fact that Moses formerly held a very high political position in Egyptian government. - Would it be correct to say that Moses was an anarchist and Daniel was a pacifist? What's the best route to take when a foreign dictatorial government is slaughtering or enslaving your blood relatives? Sacrificial submission or bloody rebellion? - Blessings :) Reighnskye |
