Basest Of Men
Who God sets over men in Dan. 4:17.
People who place hope in the elections of men or women who run for office need
to understand the FACT that God sets them in office, no matter how good or bad
they might appear. The best and there have been some great rulers in the past
6000 years is declared to be the basest of possibilities. God rules in the end and
overrules now and in comparison to His wisdom, grace, and power, the best of
these are considered base or low.
"This
sentence is by the decree of the angelic watchers and the decision is a command
of the holy ones, In order that the living may know that the Most High is ruler
over the realm of mankind, and bestows it on whom He wishes and sets over it the lowliest of men" Dan 4:17
In a sense, God gives a nation the kind of leader its people deserve. Now and again, in response to repentance and confession by at least some of its people, God provides a godly leader to lead his nation back to God.
BASEST 8215. Heb. shephal, (Chald.), shef-al'; from H8214; low:--basest. Corresp. to H8213:--abase, humble, put down, subdue.
Goes back to Samuel where they wanted a king like all the other nations. 1 Samuel 8:7.
