The Bible is about a King, a Kingdom and a royal family of children.
It's story and message are about the desire of a King to extend His Kingdom to new territories through His royal family. The Bible, therefore, is about government and governing.
What is government?
Government is about order, influence, administration, distribution, protection, maintenance, accountability, responsibility and productivity. Technically speaking, government is the person, group or organization that executes the functions of governing. This is manifested in the exercise of authority and jurisdiction over territory and citizenry. Government was first established by the command and mandate of God to Adam and incorporates the need to order, work, oversee, guard and protect.
