Democracy is an ideology in the course of restoration. In this fallen world, good Abel cannot regain the position of the elder son without attending parents. The democratic political system has to set up an alternate system so that Abel's sacrifice can obtain Cain's position. Can you elect God or the Messiah? That is why such a nation as Japan has been attending an emperor for a long, long time. Democracy was set up as an alternative to monarchy because no solid central point could be established. But there is a limit to democracy. Can God be chosen in a democratic way? Can the Messiah be elected democratically? Can you choose your mother or father? Democracy cannot address these fundamental relationships. It can only deal with relative circumstances. What we are ultimately hoping for is not that type of world. Is there democracy in front of God? Do you think democracy is eternal? Answer me! Is there democracy in front of God? If there is democracy in front of an absolute figure, then we don't need an "absolute" one. Heaven is not a democratic world. Democracy is useful when there is no true center. Where there is already a true center, do you still want to have an election?
