Rulers, There Is No Power But of God



There Is No Power But of God, He removeth Kings, He Setteth Up Kings

Deuteronomy 32:42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
  • Beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
  • I am going to start with the leaders and then the false teachers.
1 Samuel 10:24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.
 
Daniel 4:17 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
  • God decides who shall govern us.
  • He may choose whom so ever he pleases to suit His purpose, even a base person.
  • Now Israel can learn from this.
Daniel 2:21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
  • It is from God that these things flow.
  • God removeth kings, and setteth up kings
  • It is for this purpose that we study and research, and pray for wisdom and knowledge which brings truth and peace of mind.
  • Daniel is giving God all the credit.
  • He was humble before God
22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
  • Satan's the prince of night.
  • God has called you to be a child of light.
  • Your light will show up the working of Satan and His children.
  • Revelation 8:12 the 4th trump
Isaiah 3:4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
  • Most of  your rulers are going to have minds of children
  • Babes, They do not know God's Laws, Commandments
  • John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
  • If you follow man, I am going to cut you off from all blessing
  • There is no common sense in these rulers
  • If you want blessing, turn back to my laws
5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable.
  • Your children will have no value, they do not care about anyone
  • They take what's right and make it wrong, what's wrong and turn into right, for the crooks
  • The laws are not for the people
Proverbs 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
 
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
 
15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
 
16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
 
Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
  • The high powers here refer to the government .
  • The governments that we have, it's in God plan
  • How else could the first beast (political system) and the second beast (Satan) rise up in Revelation 13, unless God Himself had designed it so in His plan?
  • Daniel 7:17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
  • The last four kingdom = Daniel 7, Revelation 13 and Revelation 17
  • 6th Kingdom = Israel became a nation = Parable of the fig tree setup = Matthew 13
  • 7th kingdom = political system setup = the world almost goes into One Worldism
  • 8th King = Satan comes and heals the wound to the one worldism and take over the political system, Satan sanding in Jerusalem saying he is God
  • Bear = Russia with the kings of the east
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
  • They will bring judgment upon themselves.
  • It is not our right to overthrow any government.
  • God has a plan.
  • Do you want to act contrary to that plan.
  • They = 2 Peter 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, self willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
  • The laws are to keep us safe.
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
  • The magistrate, is acting for your own good.
  • If we didn't have laws, people would not be safe.
5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
  • Are you following the dictates of your conscience?
  • Are you doing what is right and fair to others?
  • You have to remembered Ezekiel 28, Satan down fall was his pride, he wanted to take God's place.
  • Revelation 20, After the millennium, In the next earth age, these people will go into the lake of fire.
6 For this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
  • Pay your taxes also.
  • God is keeping order, through these government officials, whereby God's plan can come to pass.
  • Read the book of Joel.
7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
  • Respect, taxes, etc.., pay what you owe.
  • For those who are concerned that our government sanctions such things as abortion, Vote ... to change the wrong laws like abortion, replace with Christian leaders that follow God's laws.
  • So be happy in many things our government approves, but support your government.
  • These are the last days, and this is God's Plan.
  • The scriptures tell many of these things would come to pass
Isaiah 29:15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
  • Their works are in darkness = Works of Satan
  • They say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
  • These are the appointments ones in office
Luke 11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:

54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
 
John 8:1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
  • Notice they didn't bring the man. Adultery Takes Two, where is the man?
  • Deut 22:22 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
  • After Christ died on the Christ, you are to ask for forgiveness
  • Deut 24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
  • Let him write her a bill of divorcement
  • Bible study Adultery
  • Let's see what Jesus says
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.

14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.

22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
  • Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
