It is the heart of the matter. The jewish people wanted a theocracy 1st and 2nd kings as well as the prophets tell of the story. Didn't work out so well, as we all know. A theocracy is not the answer if it was, the previous two books would not be useful.

God's plan was for the people of Israel to be governed by Judges, Samson for example. But because the people of Israel have seldom been satisfied to obey God, for a period beginning with King Saul and though God disapproved, He nonetheless allowed Israel to be ruled by a succession of Kings.

I hate to have to spring this on you but to be ruled by Judges IS a theocratic form of government, and it worked very well until the Jew rebelled, when the Lord at that point gave them what they demanded and what they deserved. So rather than having the God of the Universe to rule over them, they got a flawed and mistake prone mortal man. By the time of the prophet Malachi the Church had been restored to a position of power, which continued on through the the Roman occupation, as Pilate clearly dealt with the leaders of the established Church Orthodoxy at the time of Christ.
