It does, however, attempt to demonstrate how divine authority was applied and utilized within the Kingdom. Each of these attributes have evolved with time, both as to their interpretation and application since Frank Sandford first introduced and applied them in the early days of the movement.
Divine authority is no exception.
Others in his shoes might have been able to envision a future for the movement that exactly fulfilled its original purpose, the evangelization of the world and the restoration of God's Kingdom on earth, without the necessity of unquestioning obedience to a single human being. Sandford saw that as disaster. Though he had been training warriors who could be Gideons in their own right, though he believed that the Holy Spirit could empower the humblest and most ordinary in his following, if the perceptions of the movement and his personal role were mistaken, if he had not been chosen for that role of leadership, there would be no Shiloh, for there would be no God-given authority. It was the old dilemma of the antinomian. His vow to obey at any cost had been drawn to the fullest demonstration.
