Let's take these verses very literally for a moment. Is God personally changing every season, or did he set things in motion for them to change on their own? Does God give men generally the ability to gain wisdom and knowledge, or is the Spirit hovering over every preschooler teaching them their ABC's? Did God bring about civil government in general, or is every county council member divinely ordained by God? Certainly God personally chose some kings and princes. But you guys would have us believe that John Locke was wrong and that kings do have the divine right to rule instead of men having the divine right to choose their own rulers.
