  • Summary

  • In this episode, we delve into the ancient concept of divine kingship, exploring how civilizations like Egypt and Mesopotamia viewed their rulers as earthly embodiments of the divine. We'll contrast these perspectives with Israel's unique understanding of kingship, where monarchs were seen as God's chosen leaders but not divine themselves. Join us as we uncover how these ancient beliefs illuminate the Bible's portrayal of God's unparalleled sovereignty and the promise of a perfect, eternal reign.
