Isaiah 33:22, it has been said, was used by Barron Charles Louis Joseph de Secondat Montesquieu in his political theories found in the Spirit of the Laws, specifically in his notion of "separation of powers". It has also been suggested that our Founding Fathers used the same verse in their application of how our government was established.
Whether this is just urban legend, or truth - for those of us with a Christian mindset, it does not matter.
God, Jehovah, is OUR Judge and OUR Lawgiver and OUR King (or at least He should be).
In this year's CIVICS class at Classical Christian Academy, we will constantly keep these three facts in mind as we study the formation of our nation's government, other governments throughout history and current affairs.
I will be honored to share with you in the journey of learning how America came to be and how we fit in today -- but, not only as citizens of this great land, but, most importantly, God's Kingdom.
I only wish I were there to learn with everyone! Good luck as you all begin this journey!!
