Why was israel's theocracy the best form of government?
Answer 1There is no better ruler than God, and Israel did not need to look to a sinful man to solve their problems.Answer 2This question opens with the assertion that Israel's theocracy in the Biblical period is the best form, which is not the actual case. Israel's theocracy was inherently repressive to minorities such as the Samaritans and Idumeans who were forced to take on the Hebrew religion. Additionally, theocratic Israel fought and destroyed many Canaanite tribes. While the theocracy may have been a good government for that time, it certainly is not now.Just as a sidenote: Many people believe that the modern State of Israel is theocracy. This is incorrect. Israel is a Secular State. It is only a "Jewish State" in the ethnic sense of the word "Jewish", just as Germany is the "German State" and NOT as the Vatican is a "Catholic State".

Thus, while there are religious influences, Israel operates primarily as a democratic state.

Theocracy originated in ancient cultures, with one of the earliest examples being in ancient Egypt, where pharaohs were considered divine rulers and intermediaries between gods and people.

The concept was further developed in religious societies, such as ancient Israel, where leaders were believed to be appointed by God.
