God's Institutions
Ultimately, and in the final analysis, it is God who rules!

"For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another" (Psalms 75:6-7).

Jesus emphasized this when he said to Pontius Pilate:

 

"You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above" (John 19:11).

God's Institutions

God gave to mankind four basic institutions: the family, civil government, Israel, and the church.  Each of these institutions possess or illustrate certain characteristics of God.

 

The family illustrates the unity of God.

Civil government illustrates God's judgment.

Israel Illustrates the election of God.

The church illustrates God's love.
