Hi OP, God is not a government. It is a personal relationship with him in Christ. Jesus did not endorse a church, he said to follow him. Ordeal exists because this is a fallen world. God uses ordeal as well in mysterious ways. The only sanity is the virtue of Jesus and the world is but a prison and a cult while Jesus is freedom and everlasting purpose. That doesn’t mean ordeal nor tragedy happens but none of that is above God and his purpose. What that means only Jesus can overcome any ordeal.
God did miracles when freeing the Jews out of Egypt. The Bronze Age with the Tower of Babel was the closest the world has gotten to a one language and one culture were the palaces tried to keep the faithful away from God. God intervened and basically ended the Bronze Age with the late Bronze Age collapsed, only Egypt survived but never the same and doomed as a vassal to Rome late on. It is under God’s time.
Egypt had its time to shine and rise to power but God does not allow for the palaces to impose their cult and hide his existence. He will respond and such palaces becomes fossils long forgotten which happened in the Iron Age of the descends look at the ruins of their forebears of the Bronze Age. Homer and the odyssey is an example what the Greeks thought of the Minoans and Mycenaeans ruins. Fossils by the wrath of God.
Also remember the Bronze Age was a time how the palaces controlled the production of metal. Bronze needs tin and tin was hard to find. The Bronze Age palaces would literally source tin all way from the British isles. Globalism back then existed with such supply chains. Local people didn’t have access to the tin and thus the palaces had a monopoly to source bronze much better.
Such a monopoly would mean pharaohs knew an uprising is less likely because bronze is hard to source independently. However, a pharaoh isn’t immune because drought when the Nile river going dry topples pharaohs or there is famine. Also the mystic temples with their cults clashed with the pharaohs when the pharaohs tried to make it one god.
After the late Bronze Age collapse, the people learned of iron which is much easier to source but required a higher heat point. God handed that knowledge out which then took power away from the palaces because now uprisings can happen much easier because iron can be sourced. This is why Rome bargained more with locals in the Iron Age than Egypt did in the Bronze Age.
What I am saying is that with history you can see God’s virtue and promise. He is real and is the way. The key is it is in his timing and the faithful can enter his rest when trusting him in his time. Miracles happen to show the people he is there and is real and will show mercy. This is how world leaders cannot hide his existence.
On April 29, 2026, the Supreme Court, in a 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, effectively dismantled Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, striking a severe blow to protections against racial discrimination in voting. The decision ruled that creating majority-minority districts to comply with the VRA can constitute unconstitutional racial gerrymandering, allowing states to dilute minority voting power
