Four Thousand Weeks

a central aspect of my political theology, setting aside the exact shape of our political engagement, is that the church is always called to the prophetic task of criticizing the state. The church must continually remind the state that it is not God, and that its current politics fall short of the Kingdom of God. I take this cue from the Bible, where every king of Israel and Judah had his prophet. David had his Nathan. Ahab had his Elijah. Herod had his John the Baptist. Important to note for the Christian nationalists is how Israel was a theocracy, not a Christian nation but a Jewish nation along the lines of what Christian nationalists would like to achieve. And yet, this exact political arrangement, a theocratic state under the Lord God, is portrayed in the Bible as a massive failure and in need of harsh prophetic rebuke. Just look at how many pages of the Old Testament are devoted to the prophets. That's the moral and political portfolio of theocracy! Doom and disaster.
