God consistently reveals Himself working through one man at a time to avoid confusion, as He is not the author of confusion but of peace. He does not send multiple ambassadors with differing messages to the same area simultaneously, for a divided kingdom cannot stand. Historically, God has operated through individuals like Abel, Enoch, Noah, Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses, establishing a pattern of leadership through a single chosen representative. This pattern continues in the New Testament, where Jesus Christ, as the chief Apostle, faithfully delivered the Father's message, and Peter was preeminent among the twelve apostles, designated as the first among equals. Succession in leadership is by appointment of the Father, revealed primarily through the works of the one appointed, as evidenced by their fruits. God raises up a leader, and by His Spirit, brings the people to voluntarily submit to that leader, as seen with David, who was anointed and later accepted by Judah and Israel without conquest. This pattern of voluntary submission will continue in the future when God unites the church, revealing the chosen leader through the fruits of their life, prompting the people to submit without coercion. In times following the death of a strong leader, confusion may arise about through whom God is working, as observed in the book of Judges where leaders like Gideon would die, and the people would go their own way until God raised another. Currently, we may be in such a period of uncertainty, but God remains faithful. After His purpose for this interim is fulfilled, He will make the chosen leader known. Our submission must ultimately be to God and Christ, following a man only as he follows Christ, ensuring our connection extends directly from the individual to the leader and ultimately to Jesus Christ.
