If we are essentially in exile and living in Babylon why do we vote for their kings? Does it not make more since that we seek the face of the Father and repent and turn from our wicked ways and He will put in place those that will be for our benefit. But until we seek His face and follow His ways He will continue to raise up leaders that will seek to oppress everyone. It is Yah that puts in place leaders to fulfill His judgments either for good or for bad.
