Excursus #5:
Here is an "excursus" on God's "ordaining" of "the sword." It should make you an anarchist -- if you read all the verses.

When we disobey God's Law, God sends archists as a judgment/curse against us.

We see this repeatedly in the Scripture. Israel lusts after gentile archists (like Moloch, which means "king"). God delivers Israel into the hand of these pagan archists, and Israel cries out for deliverance, and God delivers them by sending a deliverer, or "savior" or "judge" who "saves" Israel from the pagan archists.

A "savior" -- in the Bible -- is someone who delivers sinners out of the hands of archists. A "savior" "saves" us from archists, which are the consequences ("curse") for our sins.

God promises that sin will bring archists. Sinners love archists. Sinful cultures "vote" for archists. Sinful cultures are invaded by archists.
On the other hand, Godly, obedient cultures will be free of archists. They will be free from their tyranny, violence and immorality. They will experience peace. They will experience "civilization." They will experience "salvation." These are all different words for the same social condition.

Leviticus 26
3 ‘If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them,
4 then I will give you rain in its season, the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
5 Your threshing shall last till the time of vintage, and the vintage shall last till the time of sowing;
you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
6 I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid;
I will rid the land of evil beasts,
and the sword will not go through your land.

"The Sword" does not mean a large metal blade will not walk through your land. It means an army of archists will not walk through your land, restricting and plundering. America's Declaration of Independence complained about an empire that "has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our People, and eat out their substance."
