The Relationship Between the Christian and the State and Government

The God of the Bible is held out as being sovereign over absolutely everything. He does not seed his authority to kings just because they do some paperwork or some clever assassinating to obtain power. Mordecai is in his modest position of power because he wants him there. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego before Nebuchadnezzar's idolatrous statue to himself. Daniel refusing the edict not to pray to the one true God. In those cases it was shrewd and it was right for them to reject the authority of a human king,. A lesser version of authority when dealing with the world kingdom.
