    As absolutism began to gain traction in the seventeenth century, one of the philosophies used to grant authority to this political system was the Divine Right of Kings. Jacques Bossuet, Louis XIV's court preacher, was a staunch advocate of the idea, using scripture for added authority. James I of England also wrote extensively on the subject and his son, Charles I, would unsuccessfully try to follow in his absolutist footsteps. According to James, divine right absolutism was not only about uninhibited power to be exercised by the monarch, but also about a monarch's obligation to guide and protect his people as a servant of God. Louis XIV's revocation of the Edict of Nantes can be read partly in this light, as Louis felt he had an obligation to make sure that his subjects practiced true religion as he saw it.
    A primary source excerpt from Bossuet's Politics Derived from the Words of Holy Scripture is available here: www.tomrichey.net/uploads/3/2...

    I've been watching Tom Richey since my Sophomore AP European History teacher recommended me to watch his videos. I ended up getting a 4 on the AP Euro exam and another 4 on the AP American History exam. Now I'm a high school graduate and am on the way to enlist in the United States Air Force. Thank you, Tom.

    A bit of a clarification here:
    Psalm 82:6 ‘I have said, ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High’.
    Do note that ‘gods’ is in lowercase ‘g’, not referring to God (the Lord).

    Historical kings seem to think their ego is king. Once a human surrenders their ego to a loving higher power they realize they are one with the world. Once you realize this you can do no harm because your heart and nervous system becomes filled with love...If you feel separate and your heart is not filled with constant streaming love then you are not aligned with god/or a state of higher consciousness. You are only in a state of higher consciousness where love then dissolves your feeling of separation between you and other "people." This is the ultimate meaning behind the bible and the teachings of Jesus. Simple right?

    The King is normally the 1st born son and this is a totally random process so in a way they are right, God does pick the King. I think this type of leadership selection might actually be better than our current system which selects the person who is best at lying to the public.

    • @savvageorge
      @savvageorge 5 лет назад +4

      Brian Plank- This is why most monarchies had a separation of powers in case somebody crazy became king. I think the power most Kings had was greatly exaggerated, they were often fighting with their own nobles and struggling to raise money. The average person paid about 1% tax in America under King George, modern-day Presidents are able to tax people much higher without making people angry so in a way they are more powerful than Kings.

      It's so sad to me that people don't see what a great concept liberty defines. There is no better system than what you live under yet you tout what a better system a monarchy provides vs your divine right to choose who you believe is best for the job. All while watching the miracle of youtube that was created because of that liberty. You want a king GTFO and serve one. I will have my liberty and rights that were given to me by no man.

    James VI & I was not brought up to believe in the Divine Right of Kings. As King of Scots he was monarch of a country that, throughout it's history, believed that the King was on a par with his people and was the "first among equals." Scots did not bow or curtsy to their monarch who was accessible to his people and they could approach him and a have a man to man conversation with him. Scots believed that the monarch ruled by the will of the people and if he didn't do his job properly then the people could remove him and replace him with another member of the royal house, and this is enshrined in the Declaration of Arbroath. James obviously had delusions of grandeur that didn't sit well with the Scots people.

    Owner of the house title and deed listed as follows by Royal Decree of the King.
    King James Version:
    Grantee:
    The King says this is my Son with whom I am well pleased.
    Book of Revelations: At that time Michael will stand up
    Book of Amos- The Lord: What do you see Amos?
    Amos: I see a basket of Summer Fruit
    Translation: Michael Summar
    To Whom It belongs: Yours is the Kingdom.
    Your Inheritance belongs to you
    Your Inheritance: (Property Boundary)
    The Earth with all that is in it is yours
    The Whole Earth
    The Heaven even the Whole Heavens with Milk and Honey
    All the Stars and all the Islands of the Sea
    My Entire Treasure House
    The House of the King and the House of Jehovah
    (Grantor)
    Here is my signature
    JHVH - Jehovah
    Witnesses: I called in many witnesses and wrote these deeds on an earthenware container to be kept for a long time. Sealed with the King's Signet Ring it cannot be revoked. When all the people heard these words they all agreed and fell on their faces saying "Truly Jehovah is God" and all the Jews agreed also even the Jews in Shushan the Citidel. The King saw it as good according to what is written.
    Deed has been granted and recieved. The deed was witnessed
    and sealed.
    Also included in the Inheritance
    My name Michael
    Boundaries of the Estate are as follows
    Michael is Hebrew for "He who is like God"
    Adam was created by God in his Image meaning "He who is like God". That means that Adam is Michael. My Middle name is Steven which is called "The Rib" because it is the middle section of the Body and is the middle name. The bible states that from that Rib he created Eve and have her to Adam as a wife and a helper. He was given the commandment to tend to the garden which is The Earth. This makes the tabernacle of Man which is the Body Adams sole possession. Eve is also his wife and is called "Woman". The Law states that Adam was created in the image of God and hear ye Israel "The Lord is One" you shall have no other God. I am God and aside from me there is no other God. This title transfers to Adam also where as he is "One" singular and there is to be no other. That is Law.
    The Law states "You shall not covet thy neighbors property or any of thy neighbors things." Not his wife, not his ass, or his colt not his maidservant or anything that belongs to thy neighbor. It is forbidden meaning copyright...
    Copyright infringement is the use of works protected by copyright law without permission for a usage where such permission is required, thereby infringing certain exclusive rights granted to the copyright.
    Property rights define the theoretical and legal ownership of resources and how they can be used. ... In many countries, including the United States, individuals generally exercise private property rights or the rights of private persons to accumulate, hold, delegate, rent, or sell their property.
    Use of my property for any reason without my express permission is illegal.
    My pledge of allegiance is to an All White and Christian Republic and my warning to you is as follows....
    America is a religious establishment based on several witnesses.
    1st Witness: The founding forefathers. All of them are white and Christian which alone established us a a religious establishment when we said "We the People"
    That established the people of the United States of America as White and Christian. Our Lord is a Priest after the Order of Melchizedek which is an unchangeable priesthood. The Law states that the bride shall resemble her husband meaning she must be unchangeable as well. His likeness was established by his words "I am the Lilly of the Valley". That means he is White and European. A nation under God means that Nation is his Bride. You were told this and you were told by our lower courts that you must be white in order to have citizenship. You were told by our Supreme Court that you cannot have citizenship after you were released through emancipation. That means you were released and commanded to leave here. You in turn Marched against our White House meaning our order for you to leave. You did so in violent protest. Testimony was given in Israel by the Lord when asked where you came from and the Lord spoke the word "An enemy sowed them whilst men slept." The Enemy is the devil "Satan". He was a liar and a murderer to begin with and cometh only to steal, kill and destroy. His children are the tares and they will do the will of their father which is to steal, kill and destroy. Reader this means that America never went and got black people but that they were sown here by the enemy. We told them in our constitution they couldn't have citizenship but they can't read symbols we thought so we told them directly in our courts that you have to be white and you cannot be black. The 14th Amendment is not legal and binding but is considered "Void" by the courts in accordance to the constitution which states that no law can be made concerning a religious establishment. The 14th Amendment concerns that establishment because it changes out religion which was an All White Christian Republic. The constitution states that any amendment made limiting the power of an amendment already in place then the proposed amendment shall be considered "Void" by the courts. The 14th Amendment is considered Void by the courts because the 14th Amendment would limit the power of the 1st amendment which grants us the right to an All White Christian Republic. In other words there is no such thing as "Black Americans" and any such claim is Fraud.
    Since the testimony given in court is that blacks are here to steal, kill and destroy as agents of Satan then we are under Law to Kill them onsite. This is PC 195 Justifiable Homicide for we know they are in the process of commiting a Felony Crime which endangers the life of another person. This is why Lynchings and segregation were done in our Nation. Slavery of Blacks was due to the breaking and entering into our house. I'm sure your aware that the Law states it is legal to hold them in chains of arrest for the crime and to make them serve in servitude in order to pay for the damages done.
    Since Our Flag and Our Constitution as well as our Courts have told them the Law it is now my duty to step in as Owner of the Estate and demand that all blacks either remove themselves from my estate or be removed by force of Law. This commandment is now being issued and all blacks are commanded to leave my estate grounds immediately. This commandment shall be obeyed by the black people's immediately and carried out within two years. We are under lawfully right to kill you onsite as stands and failure to do so may hold us personally accountable to the Law. The Lord demands that the wicked must be warned or else there will be blood guilt so this is your last and final warning before I will be forced take action against you. This does include shooting you and or getting an arrest warrant for you and your soul in Israel.
    You have been warned and are ordered to leave my estate as defined by the deed above immediately. Right now.
    Michael Steven Summar

    Their is no “divine right” of kings. It’s a made up construct, authored by the Elohim that claimed to be creators of mankind.
    Ostensibly, the “royals” (which means ‘ruler,’ as in cane) had more of the god’s blood in them. This is why royals interbreed - to keep the bloodline untainted.
    The Elohim were physical beings, not “gods”, and certainly not heavenly. Unless you believe heaven exists in outer space.
    “Author-ity” is a fabrication. It’s an invention. That’s literally the etymology of “authority”: ‘to invent; to author.’
    PS: the historical lines of human royalty come from Sumeria and the Sumerian tablets.

      @graysonguinn1943 5 лет назад +2

      I normally wouldn’t respond to people that sound this insane but I will this time. “Royal blood” isn’t a real thing since noble lines began from people who achieved some great feat and so they were named king by their people, thus created some noble line. The idea of divine right really is about how certain Kings and dynasties are favored by god to triumph over Kings.
