THE LAWS OF GOD - #5.D.5
Duties and Limitations of the Monarch
God has set forth HIS Laws in the Holy Scriptures for ALL Mankind to
know--and obey (Proverbs 14:34 and Isaiah 60:12)!
.D ORDAINED REALM (National) ORDER--MONARCHY:
This issue of the 5th Commandment was covered previously. See
at: LAW-5.D, above.
- ...4 COUNSELORS--ADVISORS OF THE MONARCH: The Holy Scriptures
are full of directions on giving advice and counsel to the Monarch.
(And the privileged position of those allowed to do so--Nobility!)
So, to detail these, we have set them off in a section of their
own.

section (Click Here--on caps)!
- ...5 DUTIES AND LIMITATIONS OF MONARCH:
The rule of Our Realm is not an absolute monarchy! Rather, it is
a traditional monarchy, with the Ruler bound to uphold and obey
the Laws of God, as they are presented here. Correspondingly,
there are also specific limitations and requirements placed upon
the Monarch, which we list, below--for the Nobles to know and keep
the King advised thereof:
- ....a BIBLIARCHY (Fidelitay to Law):
The Holy Scriptures, as the Word of God, are the supreme
written authority for Our Realm--consequenty, the Monarch is
to remain Faithful and True to the Word of God: in teaching,
in law, in judgement, and in daily government operations--doing
exactly as God said (Deuteronomy 17:19b-20; I Samuel 15:22).
- BIBLICAL SCHOLARSHIP:
Therefore, the Monarch is to be encouraged to be a good
scholar and Daily student of the Holy Scriptures
(Deuteronomy 17:19a).
- PUBLICATION (and Media Productions):
Moreover, the Monarch is to make the Holy Scriptures, the
Word of God (or Bible), and the Laws of God known to the
Nations and throughout the world--and Universe (Deuteronomy
17:18; Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 13:10, 16:15; Revelations
14:6-7)--hence, this Web Site!
- UNITARY POWERS:
Furthermore, since it was God's Word that established the
Rights and Powers of each Person or Official, all those
Rights and Powers not delineated in the Holy Scriptures
are reserved to God, for HIM to retain or distribute
(through HIS Authorities) as HE may deem fit, at a later
date.
- ....b MAIN DOMESTIC POLICY OBJECTIVES:
In maintaining Our Realm (Nation), the Monarch is charged with
seeing that certain things are done (or attempted reasonably)
with respect to Our Family or Membership (Citizenship)--one
for each of the 6 Primary Institutions of Our Realm:
- RETURN:
The Revival, Reformation, and a Return to the adherance to
God's Laws among Our Members (Citizens) (I Kings 15:11-13,
18:4-6; II Kings 10:25-28, 22:8-13, 19; II Chronicles
20:2-4, 5, 12-13, 30:1-2, 33:12-16)!
- OBSERVANCE:
The Keeping, Celebration, and proper observance of the
Scriptural Holy Days and Festivals, along with their
associated pagentry, parades, and performances--most
especially the Sabbath itself (I Kings 8:1; II Chronicles
20:2-4, 30:1-2; Nehemiah 13:15-22)!
- TEACH:
The Instruction, Education, Training, and Teaching of Our
Members (Citizens)--especially concerning the things of
God (and those things or technologies that will better our
lot in life), and most especially to follow the 10
Commandemnts and its related Laws of God (Deuteronomy
6:6-7; Proverbs 4:1-14; Ecclesiastes 12:13; I Timothy
4:11)!
- POPULATE:
The Mating, Multiplying, Breeding, and Procreation among
Our Membership (Citizenry), so that the People of God will
increase in abundance--rather than diminish, as the wicked
of the world would have in their promotion of zero
population growth (Z.P.G.) (Genesis 1:27-28, 7:2-3, 9:1;
Proverbs 14:18; Jeremiah 29:4)!
- PROVIDE:
The Relief, Welfare, Social Services, and basic Provisions
for Our Membership, primarily through jobs or businesses
of their own, or by compassion upon the needy to sustain
them until they can become productive--as in Roman Bread
Policies (Genesis 2:15, 9:2-3; Matthew 5:44-45, 10:8,
25:34-46; Luke 6:30-35)!
- FORM:
The Artwork, Creativity, and Productive talents should be
molded and formed into works that glorify God (and keep
the People reasonably occuppied and entertained--as in
Roman Circus Policies), while also promoting the
Judeo-Christian Culture (and not the culture and ways of
the wicked world)!
- ....c MAIN FOREIGN POLICY OBJECTIVES:
In addition to the Domesitc Policies (which are Primary), the
Realm (and Nation) has a duty to relate to the rest of the
World and other Nations (which is Secondary) in a Godly
manner:
- SPREAD:
The Gospel and the knowledge of God needs to be
disseminated among all Nations (Pslams 2:8, 22:27, 96:3;
Isaiah 2:2, 11:9; Malachi 1:11; Matthew 24:14; Mark
16:15; Luke 24:47; Revelations 14:6). See also, Law 1.D DIVINE COMMISSION.
- CARE:
The Peoples of the World (and Universe) are a needy lot
and WE need to have compassion on them to see to their
daily living needs--even feeding OUR supposed enemies
(Genesis 2:15, 9:2-3; Matthew 4:44-45, 10:8, 25:34-46;
Luke 6:30-35).
- PEACE:
The pursuit of Peaceful relations is a high ideal and
should be attempted as much as is reasonably possible
(Proverbs 12:20; Job 22:21; Psalms 34:14; Matthew 5:9;
Romans 12:18, 14:19; Colossians 3:15; Hebrews 12:14;
I Peter 3:11; James 3:17-18)
- NEUTRALITY:
Remaining neutral in the desputes of the World is strongly
advised by the Holy Scriptures OR in the words of America's
Founding Father--AVOID ENTANGLING FOREIGN ALLIANCES!
(Deuteronomy 7:1-5, 17:16-17; I Kings 20:31-42).
- .....a NO Binding Allainces for Arms--remember that
the whole globe was engulfed in war during World War I
from a small conflict that was made much larger by
the binding secret alliances of the Countries
connected to the orginal small parties (Deuteronomy
17:16a; I Samuel 17:45-46; Psalms 20:7, 44:4-8;
Hosea 1:7; Haggai 2:22).
- .....b NO Binding Alliances for Women or Wives
(especially if they are strangers or idolators)
--remember that the House of Hapsburg nearly conquered
all of Europe through marriages with the dynastic
ruling families of the various Countries (Deuteronomy
17:17a; I Kings 11:1-4).
- .....c NO Binding Alliances for Money--for there is
a strong warning not to participate in Trade Cartels
nor unjust Commerical Monopolies (Deuteronomy 17:17b;
Isaiah 5:8-9).
- .....d Temporary Treaties Tolerated: non-binding
agreements or leagues may be used, especially for
trade, and may be made as long as there are provision
for termination in case of disagreeable developments
(II Samuel 5:11-12, 10:2; I Kings 10:28-29,
5:8-12)--but, in general, avoid reliance on foreign
goods!
- CONVERSION (and Immigration):
As with God's Kingdom, WHOSOEVER WILL is to be allowed
to convert (and become Celestial Citizens) and join OUR
Realm (and immigrate into OUR Nation and lands)--indeed,
WE are to be encouraging and fostering this growth (Mark
3:35; Acts 2:21; Revelations 22:17)--though preference
should obviously be given to those who have become or
are now studying to be Celestial Citizens: thus
non-Believers restricted! (Matthew 18:3-5; Luke 12:8-9).
- EXAMPLE (Standard):
As channels of God's Power, WE should be the world
leaders in Art, Music, and Cultural Developments, so
that the rest of the World will be drawn to God through
OUR works and creative projects! (I Kings 8:1;
II Chronicles 20:2-4, 30:1-2; Matthew 5:14-16).
- ....d SUCCESSION:
The Holy Scriptures very clearly set forth who is to
ascend to the Throne, after the death of the current
Monarch of Our Realm:
- HEIR APPARENT:
God will usually direct the current Monarch to appoint
the one who is to succeed him to the Throne, which we
also call the Exarch, and he is to assume the royal
duties upon the Monarch's death (Deuteronomy 31:1-3;
I Kings 1:32-35, 2:22; II Chronicles 11:21-22).
- ELSE, HEIR PRESUMPTIVE:
Failing God's clear direction, as above, then the
deceased Monarch's eldest son (or if no surviging sons,
then grandson of eldest son--then if no descendants,
his next oldest brother--but if no surviving brother,
then eldest brother's son or nephew--then if no
brothers, the nearest eldest male relative, if
necessary) may ascend to the Throne WITH the
confirmation of the majority of the House of Clergy
or Sanhedrin (I Kings 11:43, 14:31, 15:8; II Kings
11:4; II Chronicles 21:3).
- QUALIFICATIONS:
- ......1 CHOSEN:
The successor MUST be slected and approved of by
God, Himself--not by popular vote or choice of the
general membership or populace (Genesis 45:6;
Deuteronomy 17:15a; I Samuel 16:1-13; Daniel
4:17, 5:21; Matthew 24:45-47)
- ......2 BELIEVER:
The successor MUST be of the Household of Faith, a
Believer, and a member of Our Realm--not a
non-believer, nor pagan, nor idolator, nor a
stranger or foreigner to Our Realm (Deuteronomy
17:15b)
- ......3 DYNASTY:
The successor MUST be of the lineage of Aaron,
especially of the House of Zadok (TsaDoQ or Zaddik
in Hebrew--Sadoq or Sadduk in Greek) or the
Scottish Clan of Shaddox, preferably a male
descendant of the Founder, Daniel Shaddox (Isaiah
22:20-24; Ezekiel 44:15, 23-24; Zechariah
6:11-15).
- REGENCY:
If the successor should be a minor, then the eldest
member of the House of Clergy (Sanhedrin) is to be
the temporary Regent until the heir is of age 20
(II Kings 11:2-19; II Chronicles 22:11-12,
23:1-21, 24:15-16; Galatians 4:1-2).
- USURPATION:
In no case, shall anyone who executes the current
Monarch (and/or his heirs) be allowed to ascend to
the Throne--they are automatically banned by their
own heinous actions, for this is the mark and the
sign of the anti-christ (Judges 9:1-20; I Kings
11:1; II Chronicles 22:10; Matthew 2:16;
Revelations 12:3-5, 17). Neither shall a woman be
allowed to ascend to Our Throne!
- CORONATION:
The proceedure for setting the successor upon the
Throne is well documented in the Holy Scriptures
(II Samuel 5:3; I Kings 1:34-35; II Kings 11:11-12;
II Chronicles 23:11; Isaiah 22:20-22).
- ......a ROYAL CHARGE:
Or the Monarch's oath of office (I Kings 2;2-4;
II Kings 11:12; II Chronicles 23:11).
- ......b THE BLESSING:
Our People are to Bless the Monarch, that God may
help him (I Kings 1:39; II Kings 11:12; II
Chronicles 23:11).
- ......c THE COVENANT:
Our Realm (and Our People) are to enter into a Holy
Covenant with God and Our Monarch, forming a kind
of Mediavel social contract--and foreshadowing the
Marriage Feast of the Lamb (II Kings 11:17; II
Chronicles 23:3, 16)
.E MEMBERSHIP (CELESTIAL CITIZENSHIP):
becoming a Member of Our Realm (and Greater Family), is something like
being adopted into a regular Family. And, the Holy Scriptures speak
abundantly of this, so to detail it all, we have set if off in its own
section, below.
