What does Les say about democracy's ability to get things done?
Democracy is praised as the greatest form of government, yet when it comes to accomplishing things, it is described as probably the worst ever conceived. The reason given is that decision-making is weakened by the number of people involved, unlike a kingdom of one with absolute power.
Les explains that while democracy is the greatest form of government and is loved, it is probably the worst ever conceived when it comes to getting something done. He connects this to Daniel 2's symbolic image, where the empires become weakened by the number of people involved in decision-making. By contrast, Christ's coming kingdom will be glorious because it is a kingdom of one, with absolute power, no confabs, and no consensus.
