Theocracy is a form of government in which official policy is governed by immediate divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided, or is pursuant to the doctrine of a particular religion or religious group.
From the perspective of the theocratic government, "God himself is recognized as the head" of the state, hence the term theocracy, from the Greek θεοκρατια "rule of God", a term used by Josephus for the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. A theocracy may have an administrative hierarchy of the government identical with the administrative hierarchy of the religion, or it may have two 'arms,' but with the state administrative hierarchy subordinate to the religious hierarchy.
Taken literally or strictly, theocracy means rule by God or gods and refers primarily to an internal "rule of the heart", especially in its biblical application. The common, generic use of the term, as defined above in terms of rule by a church or analogous religious leadership, would be more accurately described as an ecclesiocracy.

In My dreams I have seen beyond
in my dreams I have seen what I am coming from
Visions of my eternity
visions of a celestial holy city
12 gates of Jerusalem
12 angels surround the wall
only one way leads inside the gates
only one way prepared for us all
I have seen the New Jerusalem
Glorious, the new Jerusalem
behold, the world of corruption has passed away
out of the ashes below me I rise
into the city of new life, the power, the way
ascending into paradise
by the grace of the holy one
I am free from this world of desolation
free from greed, lust and selfishness
to nevermore be a slave to this wicked flesh
by the ultimate sacrifice
I'm alive, yet transcend this life
from this old world of death burning down
now I walk through the ashes unto holy ground
I have seen the New Jerusalem
Glorious, the new Jerusalem
behold, the world of corruption has passed away
out of the ashes below me I rise
into the city of new life, the power, the way
