I find the story of David relative to Saul to be of little value in modern terms. Saul was specifically anointed by God to reign over the Children of Israel. While God cut off his offspring from inheriting the position, Saul was left as king.

Where is there any evidence that God has anointed anyone from the time of Paul to this day to stand in such a high position that a righteous man would not dare to strike out against him? Surely not Nee or Lee. And I daresay, not anyone.

Just like the arguments concerning the prophecies and promises specifically to Israel, how does anything about the anointed King of Israel have anything to do with self-appointed leaders of modern Christian sects?
