Glory! He <br \/>does according to His own will in the army of heaven and among the <br \/>inhabitants of the earth! Glory! Confess your rebellion! Humble <br \/>yourself at His feet! Believe His word! Praise and worship Him <br \/>forever! <\/p>\n<p>He reduced the greatest monarch in the history of the world to a <br \/>grass-eating ox, until that man blessed and praised the King of <br \/>heaven (Dan 4:1-37)! It is recorded in the chronicles of the <br \/>Babylonian Empire! It was published throughout the earth in every <br \/>known language to every known nation! That monarch wrote:  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto <br \/>heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the <br \/>most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose <br \/>dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from <br \/>generation to generation: And all the inhabitants of the earth are <br \/>reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of <br \/>heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his <br \/>hand, or say unto him, What doest thou? &#8220;\u00a6 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise <br \/>and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, <br \/>and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to <br \/>abase&#8221; (Dan 4:34-37).  <\/p>\n<p>Here is the beginning of wisdom (1:7), the fountain of understanding<br \/> (9:10), and the source of knowledge (1:29). Fully believing the <br \/>sovereignty of the LORD Jehovah is the essential basis for right <br \/>thinking and right living. Let every reader take careful heed!  <\/p>\n<p>Mighty Pharaoh, absolute king and god of Egypt, said to Jehovah&#8217;s <br \/>preacher, &#8220;Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let <br \/>Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go&#8221; (Ex 5:2)<br \/>. After ravaging his nation with ten plagues and killing the nation&#8217;s <br \/>firstborn, the LORD took the wheels off Pharaoh&#8217;s royal chariot and <br \/>let him think about drowning for a few minutes, before suffocating <br \/>him under the waters of the Red Sea!  <\/p>\n<p>Benhadad, king of Syria, thought Jehovah and Israel were limited to <br \/>fighting on hills, but God destroyed his army in the plain and with a <br \/>falling wall (I Kings 20:22-30)! King Ahab thought he could disguise <br \/>himself in battle and overthrow the LORD&#8217;s prophecy of his death, but <br \/>Jehovah sent a random arrow through a joint of his armor (I Kings 22:<br \/>30-40)! Sennacherib, king of Assyria, blasphemed Jehovah profanely. <br \/>He lost his army in a single night to the angel of the LORD, and his <br \/>own sons murdered him, while he was asking his pagan god why he had <br \/>lost the battle so horribly (II Chron 32:21)!  <\/p>\n<p>Herod the Great thought he could stop Him by killing the children of <br \/>Bethlehem, but he died miserably a few months later, with Jesus safe <br \/>in Egypt (Matt 2:1-20)! The Jews thought they could kill Jesus and <br \/>eliminate this righteous Man from their nation, but He returned with <br \/>armies to miserably destroy those murderers and burn up their city<br \/> (Matt 22:1-7)! They cried, &#8220;We will not have this man to reign over <br \/>us&#8221; (Luke 19:14); they said, &#8220;His blood be on us, and on our <br \/>children&#8221; (Matt 27:25)! And so it was! Jesus reigned over them anyway <br \/>and avenged His blood on them in 70 AD with Roman armies.  <\/p>\n<p>The LORD Jehovah is King of kings! He is Lord of lords! The president,<br \/>Congress, Supreme Court, and all other elected and appointed <br \/>officials of our nation should humble themselves before Him. Any <br \/>legislation, interpretation, or action contrary to His expressed will <br \/>in the Holy Scriptures will soon receive frightful and horrific <br \/>destruction.  <\/p>\n<p>Korah and his cronies thought they could bark against Moses, so the <br \/>LORD opened the earth and swallowed them and their families alive<br \/> (Num 16:1-34)! Ananias and Sapphira thought they could lie a little <br \/>regarding their real estate proceeds, but the LORD killed them (Ac 5:<br \/>1-11). Reader, do you hear and obey the messenger God has sent you?  <\/p>\n<p>He is the Potter; humanity is mere clay (Rom 9:21)! Men do not have <br \/>the right to even question Him (Rom 9:20)! He chooses some human clay <br \/>for objects of His wrath and power by destroying them; and He chooses <br \/>other human clay for objects of His glory and mercy (Rom 9:22-24)! <br \/>Give God the glory! Humble yourself before Him! Beg for mercy!  <\/p>\n<p>Evolutionists reject a Creator, but they cannot evolve away death and <br \/>their appointment to meet Him at the horrifying bar of divine Justice <br \/>(Heb 9:27)! Suicidal fools think they can end their guilt-producing <br \/>conscience by self-murder, only to wake up facing the Dread Sovereign <br \/>of Heaven declaring that murder deserves an eternal, conscious hell!  <\/p>\n<p>Adam and Eve thought they could cover their guilt and shame with fig <br \/>leaves and hide among the trees of the Garden from Jehovah, just as <br \/>men try to cover their sins and hide to this day. But they were <br \/>discovered and condemned! Jonah thought he could escape his call to <br \/>the ministry by fleeing to Tarshish, but the LORD sent a whale to <br \/>correct Him!  <\/p>\n<p>There is no wisdom against the LORD&#8217;s wisdom, so choose His wisdom<br \/> (Ps 119:128; Is 8:20). There is no wisdom against the LORD&#8217;s <br \/>providence, so humbly accept your circumstances with composure and <br \/>contentment (Phil 4:11; I Tim 6:6). There is no wisdom against the <br \/>LORD&#8217;s judgment, so obey Him with a cheerful heart (Num 32:23).  <\/p>\n<p>Do not imagine or think for a minute that you can sin and escape Him <br \/>knowing and judging your sin. Do not deceive yourself that you can <br \/>compromise His rules of wisdom and succeed. Do not think you can take <br \/>precautionary measures to deliver yourself from His judgment. Do not <br \/>imagine that you have discovered better wisdom than His Scriptures. <br \/>Rather than resist or rebel, repent and reform! He will have mercy!  <\/p>\n<p>How will you escape the LORD? Does your hypocrisy deceive Him? Will <br \/>you weigh out your good works before Him? Will you move Him with <br \/>emotion in the Day of Judgment? You are a great fool, if you trust <br \/>any of these delusions. Beg Him for mercy! Now!  <\/p>\n<p>Horses (Ps 33:17), chariots (Ps 20:7), nor princes or men (Ps 146:3-4)<br \/>can deliver you. Humble yourself before Him today, believe His Word, <br \/>confess your sins, and trust His providence. Stand in awe, and sin <br \/>not (Ps 4:4). Prepare to meet thy God (Amos 4:12). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD. &#8212; Proverb 21:30 Let all who love the LORD Jehovah say, &#8220;Amen!&#8221; He is our God, and none in heaven or in earth can resist Him or question Him!
