Eski Yakındoğu’da ilahi elçiler ve onların kraliyet ideolojisindeki önemi

Tanrılar ve krallar eskiçağ tarihi boyunca çoğu zaman birbirlerine müttefik olmuşlardır. Şüphesiz bu, dinin siyasal hayat üzerindeki büyük etkisinden kaynaklanmaktadır. İktidarın ilahi kökeninin sürekli vurgulanma ihtiyacının hissedildiği eskiçağ dünyasında, tanrılar kimi zaman elçileri vasıtasıyla kralların yanında olarak ilahi desteklerini hissettirmişlerdir. Bu elçiler, kâhinlerden farklı olarak esinlenme yolu ile aldıkları tanrı gizlerini zor zamanlarda krallara iletmişlerdir. İlahi elçiler statükonun korunması için kraliyet ile birlikte çalışan kimseler olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır

Divine Envoys in Ancient Near East and Their Importance in the Royal Ideology

Throughout the ancient history, gods and the kings often become allies to eachother. No doubt this is due to the great influence of religion on the political life. Because of the need for the continuous emphasis of divine origin on the powe,r sometimes gods have made the kings felt the divine support by means of divine envoys (prophets). These envoys, differs from the diviners, convey the secrets of the gods to the kings by inspiration during rough times. Divine envoys emerges like people who works to protect the status quo of royality
