Saul Ripping Off His Clothes Represents the Disrobing of the Political Spirit

The principal role of the priesthood all along was intended to be about engaging with presence. Our current obsession with succeeding in the numbers game is keeping us from the fulfillment that is only going to be found in the weight of glory not in the number of people. For me Saul ripping off his clothes represents the disrobing of the political spirit. Denominational systems follow a democratic model and democracy was never God's idea. You may have been the idea of the founding fathers but God's idea was a theocracy.
