Although kings have usually claimed to rule by divine right, they have seldom provided any evidence of this claim. So, it remains debatable that God put kings on Earth. Kings may have simply put themselves on their thrones, without being put there by God.

This is God's sovereignty. This means God is not subject to any power or any abstract rule or law which could be thought of as superior to God. Daniel 2:21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.

No one can restrain His hand Or say to Him, "What have You done?"


What does the Bible say about kings?

Kings will come; and Kings will fall; except for one, the King of Kings, Christ Jesus. Kings are but 'mortal men'. They're here today, gone tomorrow. They are powerless to effect any substantial changes.Psalm 146:3,4 says: (CEB) "Don't trust leaders; don't trust any human beings -- there's no saving help with them!" They die; "On that very same day, their plans die too."If earthly kings are unable to offer 'salvation', then they are basically worthless. Mankind needs 'salvation' Mankind needs some real solutions. Anything less than 'salvation' is not adequate.Psalm 118:8,9 offers something better: (Darby's) "It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in man; It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in nobles (or kings)."The kings in the days of Israel, they were put in place by God. They were his representatives. That line of kings, would end in Christ Jesus, the Messiah. Jesus will never die. He was granted immortality.Daniel 2:44 states that God's Kingdom by Christ, will 'crush' 'all these kingdoms' (and their kings, of course.) Then only God's Government (Kingdom) will rule the whole earth. One Kingdom, One King; and one set of rules of conduct. Righteousness will reign. Not selfishness, greed, and violence. Christ will give an 'inheritance' to meek ones. "The meek" "shall inherit, -- the earth," Not Heaven.But the Bible says Much Much more about Kings. This is just an overall summary when looking at the time-line of earth's History.
