上帝在以色列歷史中,展現人代為管理這地成功與失敗的典範,企圖警告全地的百姓,但驕傲悖逆的人類仍然我行我素,在歷史中起起落落,平安與淒涼循環不斷。

"Government is the affairs of the people, governance is the management, and the management of the peoples affairs is politics." (Selected Works of Sun Yat-sen, the first provisional president of the Republic of China (1911–12))
Every day in the news and TV, many people are talking about politics.
God, who rules all nations, speaks of "politics" to human agents, saying:
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
And said:
Zecharis3:7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and keep my charge, then you shall rule my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you the right of access among those who are standing here.
In the history of Israel, God showed the success and failure of human beings to manage the land, trying to warn the people of the whole earth, but the proud and rebellious human beings still go their own way, ups and downs in history, and the cycle of peace and desolation continues.
