Subject: positive and negative impact of monarchy |
Bible Note: booboo, The question is rather vague and I’m assuming the insinuation is to the impact from some biblical perspective or example. That being the case, I dare to say that one positive impact of a monarchy is that you are under the protection of the king. Conversely, you also can fall under his wrath. A few examples I can pull, though there are others I’m sure and probably clearer as well. Romans 13:1-6: 1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Proverbs 8:15,16: 15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. 16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. But these don’t specifically call out types of governments but maybe rather just those in civil authority. I’ve probably posted too much already. Stand in His grace, WOS |
