The Bible doesn't explicitly advocate for democracy as we understand it today. Instead, it provides principles for good governance and leadership. For example, the Bible emphasizes justice, fairness, and the importance of leaders who are wise and righteous.
In the Old Testament, God was seen as the ultimate authority, with leaders like Moses and the judges acting under His guidance. Later, the Israelites asked for a king to be like other nations, which led to the establishment of a monarchy (1 Samuel 8:5-22). This shows a shift from a theocratic system to a more centralized human authority.
In the New Testament, there is no direct endorsement of any specific form of government, but principles such as loving your neighbor, serving others, and promoting justice.
