Description
Thirty-three of forty kings in ancient Israel ruled over cultures rampant with aberrant sexuality, child sacrifice, violence, and corrupt economics. Seven kings were righteous and successfully ruled against such behavior. Today, we face the same problems, and the majority of our rulers are not righteous. The current President of the United States stated "they" won the culture war. The loss of the culture war began a half century ago when the nation started to measure morality by law instead of law by morality. The architects of those laws came from both political parties and affected each branch of government. It was inevitable that corrupt laws would result in a progressive decline in morals and the degradation of the nation. The author contends that, "The presidents of our time are cut from the same cloth as the ancient kings." Herein, we explore principles gleaned from the ancients for a righteous nation. During his medical career, the author has studied internal medicine, geriatrics, and infectious diseases and been credentialed in those disciplines. He has published in scientific journals in the specialty of infectious diseases. His medical fellowships include the American College of Physicians, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the American College of Physician Executives, and the American College of Healthcare Executives. He is a retired Colonel in the U.S. Army, a retired Professor of Internal Medicine, and a current lecturer on Biblical and medical subjects. The author has published in Christian periodicals on the subject of Medicine and the Scriptures and authored six books with Xulon Press: The Twelve Generations of the Creation, The Mystery Revealed, The Christian Holy Days, Baptism to Bethany, Judges and Plunderers-Ancient and Modern, and Made in the Imago Dei! He has taught Bible studies that emphasize Biblical exegesis, languages, and culture for over five decades."
