You cannot read the Bible and ignore the political realm. The Bible is thick with politics. We have four books, 1 and 2 Kings, 1 and 2 Chronicles, that deal with the rule and reign of government leaders. Scripture is packed with political concerns, including laws, statutes, ordinances, kingdoms, empires, courts, judges, kings, queens, taxes, and so much more. God is active on virtually every page, engaging in the political affairs of humanity for both blessing and judgment. You might say that the Bible is a political textbook, since God is seen setting up nations and writing constitutions and bylaws. He both establishes governments and dismantles them. He places people in strategic political roles and removes others from the political purchase. Given this reality, it is unfortunate that God and politics are far too often disconnected from each other, as though connecting them too closely is anathema or forbidden. The failure to properly connect God's relationship to politics based on his word has left individuals, political leaders, and nations void of the knowledge needed to govern society as the creator intended it to be.
