Yah's Choice of Leaders

Judges 3:12 ~
Once again the Israelites did evil in the sight of Yah so He gave Eglon king of Moab power over Israel because they had done evil in His sight.
Daniel 2:21 ~
Our Creator changes the times and season; He removed kings and establishes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.

Folks seem to overlook the reason our Creator puts certain rulers in place - it is because we the people have done evil in His sight. Back when Samuel was the leader of the Israelites he had to face the facts:
1 Samuel 8:7 ~ Yah replied to Samuel, "Heed the demand of the people in everything they say to you. It is not you they have rejected, it is Me they have rejected as their King. Like everything else they have done ever since I brought them out of Egypt, to this day - forsaking Me and worshiping other gods - they are doing to you. Heed their demands but warn them solemnly, and tell them about the practices of any king who will rule over them."
Ever since mankind turned his back on God we have been in a downward spiral, which is evident in today's world. Man gave up his "God Given Rights" when he turned his back on Him and started ruling for himself. The rights we read of in Scriptures never really made it into the Declaration of Independence: words which were not combined with deeds resulted in the death of faith.
Isaiah 5:20
“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
