God’s kind of politics

Ezekiel 45:7-8 (JDV)

Ezekiel 45:7 And the prince will have the area on each side of the devoted donation of land and the city’s property, adjacent to the devoted donation and the city’s property, stretching to the west on the west side and to the east on the east side. Its length will correspond to one of the tribal portions from the western boundary to the eastern boundary.
Ezekiel 45:8 This will be his land as a possession in Israel. My princes will no longer oppress my people but give the rest of the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.

God’s kind of politics

The leader is to have land next to that assigned to the priests, but he is not to steal land from the people. God wants his political leaders to serve him, and protect the people. That is God’s kind of politics.
