Theocratic Governance

This paper explores the viability of theocratic governance—defined here as the direct rule of God through divinely appointed or recognized leadership—within the context of 21st-century organizational and national management. By analyzing the Mosaic model and the Davidic administration, this study contrasts "Theocracy" with "Ecclesiocracy" (rule by the church). It argues that while a literal national theocracy is incompatible with current geopolitical pluralism, the principles of theocratic leadership—transcendent accountability, stewardship, and prophetic ethics—offer a superior management framework for contemporary Christian organizations.
