Subject: More evidence in the rulership case. |
Bible Note: When Satan told Eve that eating from the tree would lead to a better life than obedience to God, God started the period during which he would allow man to experience the error in such rejection of his sovereignty. His allowing this "stiff-necked" people to now try a political ruler was a further exercise of his patience in resolving this issue. We could also say that man has had 6,000 plus years to experiment with every form of government, economic system, and philosophies on life. In this 21st century we can send a man to the moon, but its unsafe to walk the streets of many places on earth! We plan ways to cultivate life on other planets when our own is being threatened. The time is at hand when this universal court case will be decided. Yahweh is the righteous and rightful sovereign, having the right to decide right and wrong for his creatures. Soon he will intervene to annihilate all opposers to his Kingdom by his appointed ruler, Jesus, for the everlasting benefit of those who love his ways. |
