Preston Sprinkle Quotes
To Ensure Israel's Trust In Him Rather Than In A Human King, God Gives Israel An Economic System That Can't Support A Professional Army. After All, Somebody Has To Fund The Army. But Not In Israel. No Taxes Are Supposed To Be Collected To Support A Military - God Wants Excess Money To Be Given To The Poor, Not To Fund A Military (e.g., Deut. 14:29). And When Israel Does End Up Choosing A King, God Does Not Allow Him To Have The Financial Means To Support An Army (Deut. 17).7 Israel's Economic System, Therefore, Is Set Up So That The Nation Can't Sustain A Standing Army Without Violating The System Itself. Israel's "army" - If We Can Even Call It An Army - Is A Group Of Weekend Warriors Whose Skills, Or Lack Thereof, Testify To The Power Of God, Who Alone Ensures Victory.
