Since the days of Moses, there have been segments of people forced to endure tyranny of a cruel and oppressive rule or government. Throughout history, this autocratic form of rule, by a small governing group or an individual, have wielded power without legal restraint. These tyrannical regimes commonly deviate from accepted political and moral standards. In ancient times and still true today, governments spearheaded by unfit rulers possess power to escort the multitudes, over whom they have supremacy, into perilous terrain.
Nations ruled by dictatorship exchange personal liberties and impartial justice for strong order and low crime. The authority of a tyrant is often feared by the masses. Tyrants come to power through subjugation of the people; suppressing them even more to keep them under control.
When a nation’s government pays its citizens for government work, this is known as a Democracy. However, when the halls-of-justice are filled with the rhetoric of a tyrant, unrestrained by any obligation to truth or fact, the democracy runs risk of becoming a tyrannical form of governance. Further deterioration of the democracy happens when those who do work on behalf of the government can be easily anticipated as if controlled by a Monarchy of Hereditary rule. Tyranny, as a rule, arises from democracy.
In one form or another tyranny has been apart of man’s history. As in biblical times, those oppressed by the tyranny of traditions-of-men has come to their time of revolt. In an effort to control a prophesied rebellion, tyrannical action is puffed-up to maintain its power and resist overthrow by righteous liberal forces.
A tyrannical government will ignore the will of the people to usurp legitimate verdict declared by its citizens. This type of government uses force, unfair, and cruel treatment, as power. Unaware that any government that cannot govern itself is therefore unable to govern others, and the result will be tyranny.
Another time in history saw the tyranny of slavery abolished, but only after experiencing terrible internal conflict. A nation that survives and escapes tyranny is one that uproots persecution, thereby removing from power and freeing itself from unjust government. In every form, despise tyranny, not one begot another.
Through Divine Order and man’s understanding of God’s Laws, the world can thrive in harmony and re-emerge from tyranny, existing in perpetual peace. The Bible is like a masterpiece of legislation. It was written to regulate and subdue the powers of the enemy, while balancing and strengthening God’s children to resist evil influence.
