In this episode we look at the theme of Melachim. The best way to accurately synopsize the Sefer in one clear phrase is that Melachim is, ‘The Book of Olam HaZeh.’ Why is this the way I think Melachim should be described.
We start by examining the basic challenges we have in understanding the Sefer. Many would try to use contemporary political phenomena to understand the Sefer. However this is deeply flawed.
The key concept we must understand is what is the relationship between a Prophet and the King. Similarly, what is the role of a Prophet at the time of Kingship.
