You may have already seen this but Brad Meltzer did a “Decoded” episode on, “Is There Really Gold in Fort Knox”. It was quite interesting. Below please find a YouTube link to the first part of the episode:

In reply to Not Buying It.

Edited to tone down my snarky reply. My apologies for letting that creep into my original note — there was no call for that. — DG

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. (Romans 13:1-2)

It’s uncomfortable, but I don’t know any other way to interpret those verses.

We talked about the example of a leader who asks Christians to act contrary to scripture. And how can we say that Hitler didn’t serve God’s plan in some way, even though he clearly was antichrist? There are examples of God using pagan, and even brutal, men for His purposes in the Bible. Nebuchadnezzar, for one, who was the Saddam Hussein of his day.

I don’t buy that every leader is chosen by God. I don’t see it in the Book. He is the God who places and removes leaders at His will when it suits His plan but He is not the God who chooses each and every leader at the expense of free will. You might argue that leadership as a concept was established by God but certainly not each individual leader is chosen by God. Do we really need to drag out Hitler to make the point. Discussing whether or not God installed Obama as an act of divine will is pointless unless you are privy to some divine revelation. It is unknowable.
