Yes well the nature of government is changed now, so the divine right of kings would be more like the divine right of the democratically elected government, including all of the limits, checks and balances established by that government. As such, a government exceeding its own authority, as determined by itself, is not within the established divine rights.
And so your argument about forcibly vaccinating the populace (as though they were sheep), and it being justified by a divine right to rule, does not hold up unless laws were written specifically to allow that. But even that might be exceeding the scope of current western governments and would certainly be challenged along those lines.
Jesus is King. The United States is part of God's Kingdom on Earth irregardless of whatever form of government it has, and God would not permit any individual to hold power in government without His consent and blessing. Man's opinion on this is irrelevant.
I'm still not seeing how that justifies forced vaccinations.
Then you've never lived in a rural area with animal herds. The Sheppard has a responsibility to take care of the animals, he doesn't ask the sheep if it's comfortable getting a shot.
I'm saying that the government is not the same as the Shepherd and that your analogy is flawed.
Your view implies that God is not all powerful
My view states specifically that the government is not the same as God.
The government operates with God's blessing, or it does not operate
Well in any event, the government did not in fact hold people down and vaccinate them like shepherds do with their sheep. They also don't shear us and make clothing from our hair, or butcher us for food. So the shepherd analogy isn't meant to be literal in every sense.
