Biblical Theocracy can be seen in the way the Minor Prophets depicted it – a loving relationship God had with Israel. God wooing Israel as a wife, caring for her even in her impurity, degradation and suffering.

When Israel camped in the wilderness with God as their king, they had the tabernacle in the center and around the tabernacle were the twelve tribes of Israel in separate camps. Here, we see decentralized government whereas in the time Pharaoh and in our time today, the reverse is the case – all power & wealth of the economy flows to the center.

God gave Jesus the kingdoms of this world, but He doesn’t force us to follow Him; it’s a choice! He even died at the hands of his persecutors. There’s no enforcement or coercion of a theocracy through Christ upon the world.
