The providential leader: Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, Proverbs 14:31.

The oppressive systems, deception and lies widespread; and the ignorance of the common person are social problems that humanity in its development has not yet solved. And faced with these problems, a little understood figure appears, a very particular type of leader, the providential leader. A fantasy, a myth, or a reality?
The providential leader is not a fantasy. Providential leaders can be understood as "benefactors of humanity", in science there are examples like Jonas Salk who developed the vaccine against polio.
In modern times we have another clear example of what a providential leader is: Joan of Arc. The life of Joan of Arc and the events that happened are documented. France and England were faced by the Hundred Years' War and prophecies about a maiden from Lorraine who would save France were publicly known.
Joan of Arc appears before the court of the dolphin and the prince tests her by hiding among the courtiers, she detects the trap and finds the dolphin. Finally the dolphin sends Joan on a military campaign that is resolved in the Battle of Patay, the victory of the French army then allows the crowning of the dolphin in Reims, fulfilling the prophecies and ending the Hundred Years' War.
The bible tells us other examples of benefactors of humanity, Joseph in the book of Genesis interprets Pharaoh's dreams and reveals the hidden designs of God and thus saves the Egyptian people from a devastating famine, Genesis 41:17-41.
Another example is King Solomon, who rules by divine will and establishes God's justice with a famous case that establishes his divine wisdom, the judgment of King Solomon and the two prostitutes in 1 Kings 3:16-28.
The main purpose of the providential leader is to fight against oppression and increase beatitude, that is, to increase the order and perfection of the universe.
The book of Proverbs teaches us a beautiful phrase about the importance of mercy over oppression, the benefactor and the oppressor are opposing figures: "Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.", Proverbs 14:31.

The providential leader can also be seen in the context of Aristotle's political book; the wise, that is, the lover of good, as a providential leader rescues society from the most corrupt layers of government and establishes good government: "Corresponds to the wise to lead and not be led", Book of Metaphysics; "It belongs to the wise person to order", Aristotle.
