                                       suaded to avenge blood according to
                                       the standards of the Bible. Christ is
                                       world emperor before whom every

                                       bow the knee. But note: we have
                                       moved beyond priest-kings, judges,
                                       kings, or emperors. Depending on

                                       these kinds of government can be ap-
                                       propriate, provided it is Christian.
