*Isaiah 14:5-6 NIV* “The Lord has broken the rod of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers, which in anger struck down peoples with unceasing blows, and in fury subdued nations with relentless aggression.”
*14:5,6* Power fades quickly. God permitted Babylon to have temporary power for a purpose-to punish his wayward people. When the purpose ended, so did the power. Beware of placing confidence in human power because one day it will fade, no matter how strong it appears now.
@BrettHawthorn totally agree! How often I have had concern when I hear Christian's lifting up Trump. God says he shares his glory with NO man so to Americans I say be alert.
Have you ever noticed that when something is made an idol of that is what they literally die to...as in...the idolater of Mt Everest dies on Mount Everest, the sky diver, extreme sport lover and yes the animal lover are quite often destroyed by that which they idolized. In Revelation it says in the end days people will be destroyed by the wild beasts. Cld this be because they have put the lives of beasts before that of having a family, having dominion over the earth.. so therefore protect the grizzly etc...and let me tell you our family have seen lots of Grizzlies...and so by these which we have valued more than human life by these many shall die?
