In truth, the major problem in our world today is government. Governments don’t actually solve problems, but create most of them.

The prophet Samuel told the tribes of Israel what would happen when they insisted on having an earthly king. The Bible is a history of the tribes of Israel. They had good kings every so often, but more bad than good. The bad kings led to the destruction of Jerusalem and the Israelites being taken into captivity and scattered into the world.
