How much of that is in the sovereign’s hands these days?

To hear some on FR talk, if she had used the reserve power of refusal of royal assent, the government would have risen up against her. Don’t know exactly how true that is, but that’s a dangerous situation; I doubt that Thatcher would have ever even threatened such a thing.

I have no knowledge of this, but despise monarchy and always will. I do believe that is the reason the USA exists, however brief it may be today as a free republic!

We can argue that point, but GOD would not use a Godly person to accomplish a terrible task.

God used Pharaoh, but he was not a good dude, God used Hitler, but he was not good.

Show me where GOD used Godly people to accomplish a bad thing.

Even when GOD allows bad people to do terrible things, he is only emboldening the heart of the one that wants to do it, but only stops from doping bad at the urge of GOD.

Sometimes GOD will allow ones own desire to take front stage if it is in HIS plan for greater Glory

i.e., Joseph being sold into slavery by his brother.

Another example is Nebuchadnezzar destroying Jerusalem and the Temple and taking the people into captivity.

God does allow bad people to do bad things, He does not allow good people to do evil things.
