Is there a biblical form of government? In the Old Testament there was a period of monarchies. In the future when Christ returns, there will be a supreme monarchy and I won’t be in charge! In the United States, we often celebrate the democratic republican form of government that we practice as the best in the world. Can we justify such a sentiment from Scripture? Is there a biblical basis for the U. S. Constitution? Is there a mandated form of government during the Church Age? These are very interesting issues. We need to make our statements with credible biblical backing. I hope someone will tackle this for the upcoming Council.
