How do we know God's sovereignty over Israel is true?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty is illustrated in His continuous guidance and provision for Israel, as seen throughout their history.

Throughout Scripture, God's sovereignty over Israel is affirmed by His covenantal relationship with them, demonstrated in various deliverances, such as bringing them out of Egypt and parting the Red Sea. Biblical accounts, such as in 1 Samuel, show that God exercised direct governance over Israel through judges, appointing leaders like Samuel. The people's desire for a human king illustrates a refusal to acknowledge God's ultimate authority, despite His continuous intervention in their history (Deuteronomy 7:6-8). In their rebellion against God's reign, they exemplified the inherent inclination of humanity to seek control rather than trust in divine providence.
