What is a theocratic order? TRC

In regards to a theocratic order: Prince is descibing a form of rulership. A democratic order is rule by people. A theocratic order is rule by God. God being the ultimate ruler. His laws, commandments and ways of doing things are always for our benefit. In a democratic order you must follow the laws of the land (which are generally there for our benefit) or you will be punished by the government. In a theocratic order you must follow the laws of God (which are always there for your benefit) or eventually you will be "imprisoned" so to say, unable to be around to influence those who want to obey God. God's way of doing things can be found in the Bible. We cannot hide from God like we may be able to avoid getting caught by human governments if we are not obeying the law. Jesus as the King of the Theocracy is able to peer into the human heart and see what our motives are. Much like he was able to do as a human on earth. God's way of ruling and doing things is simple (1+1+1=3). Eventually, the only form of government will be a theocratic order, God rule. In the Bible this is called The Kingdom of God. His government, with Christ as King. And really isn't that what the human family needs, a Wise, Just, Powerful and Loving ruler?

confuse I always thought a theocratic order was something vegan you ordered at a McD drive-thru.
