Why do the heathen rage?
We review consistently that, it is written. “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.”
We
have the mind of Christ, and with that, if you look closely, all around you one
can witness large scale contention between good and evil being displayed.
Today, as we have not witnessed in my lifetime until now, evil and its vessels
have become exceedingly bold, aggressive, confrontational and demanding of
recognition.
As
more people claim good to be evil and evil to be good, activities that were
once practiced exclusively in secret are now openly displayed and increasing
levels of disgustingly vile behaviors and practices are being incrementally
revealed. Not only are they being revealed but those who are the practitioners
of evil on all levels are demanding your recognition. They have grown so
arrogant, bold and aggressive that they not only demand your recognition but
are beginning to demand your alignment and participation under penalty for
noncompliance.
I
remember years ago warning that the liberal minds were working to create an
army and were doing so with the assistance of the church. Today we see the
content of those conversations coming to fruition in a manner that is now
undeniable. In today’s America we are actually witnessing the rise of that
army, attack dogs stirred up by their evil leadership, burning down businesses,
looting, raping, rioting, doxing, threatening and shaming purveyors of decency.
We have even witnessed assassination attempts and assassinations of people
whose only crime was to speak light to darkness. Even in the face of being
undeniably responsible, the commanders of this wicked army, show no concern nor
regard for retribution and accountability. It is because of the lack of
accountability fields were able to be furrowed, seeds planted and evil is able
to water a conjuring, a harvest of darkness and tares that are able to put
forth a formidable front against the laws, principles and values of the most
free nation ever created.
This
has not been an overnight battle nor a sudden transition. This contention
between good and evil is ancient. America has been under attack by powers,
principalities, rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness
in high places.
America
has been under intensive attack ever since our founders penned the following
statement and declared it to be the nation’s foundational principle.
“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold
these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed. That, whenever any form of government becomes
destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish
it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles,
and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to
effect their safety and happiness”.
(Declaration of independence.
Adopted July 4th 1776)
The demonic realm demands and desires control and subjugation over all mankind. America represents liberty to the entire world like no other nation before it. The law of God is referred to as the perfect law of liberty. The bible teaches that God’s laws are not grievous and following His law keeps us liberated from the dominion of the unholy, yet God and America are always under attack because, it is written, “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Where His spirit fully inhabits, the devilish cannot.
David
cries out to God pleading, “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a
right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy Holy
Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with
thy free spirit.
David
knew that disobedience and a lack of repentance would cause a separation from
God and His spirit. Our father will leave the rebellious who refuse to repent
to a reprobate mind. As we have seen biblically God will bring destruction to a
nation that turns from Him and He will turn that nation over to the heathen, to
a people who do not know His name. Satan longs for America to grow in disbelief
and disobedience to God. The devils desire the destruction of America and all
that it stands for. This is because America is a light upon a hill and its
foundational beliefs stand in the way of the domination of darkness.
Why do the heathens rage? Why are they raging
in America since its creation and why is their rage heightened today?
They
rage at America because they know America is a prize they will never be able to
claim. Try as they might, they cannot emerge victorious in subjugating righteousness.
They rage because their separation from God vexes their spirit. They rage
because they hate the truth of salvation, the message of the savior and the sacrifices
of worldly things they must make in order to abide in obedience to His message.
They rage in America because of its founding declaration and that declaration’s
connection to our almighty Father in heaven and pledge to follow Him and His
principles. The rage is heightened today simply because the spiritual atrophy
of God’s children, errant teachings and the downward trend of the church has
allowed it.
Why
do the heathen rage? I believe the core reason is the separation from God and
the knowledge that unless repentance is made, wicked ways are turned from, and
kingdom principles are adopted, the heathen will forever be in agony from
rejecting the source of all goodness, joy, and love.
You
who are a follower of Jesus and a doer of the word will suffer the wrath of the
heathen from time to time while the heathen suffers under the weight of the
knowing that, “The wages of sin are death.” Remember Jesus promises His
followers, “In this world you will have trouble but take heart for I have
overcome the world..” Paul tells us this in,
2Thessilonians
1:6-9
6
Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that
trouble you;
7
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed
from heaven with his mighty angels,
8
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not
the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the
Lord, and from the glory of his power;
And
Isiah writes this in,
Isaiah
59:1-4
1
Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear
heavy, that it cannot hear:
2
But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have
hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
3
For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your
lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
4
None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and
speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
Further,
we read this in the following.
Psalm
46:1-11
1
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the
mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with
the swelling thereof. Selah.
4
There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy
place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and
that right early.
6
The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth
melted.
7
The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8
Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9
He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and
cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
10
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will
be exalted in the earth.
11
The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
Psalm
2:1-12
1
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
3
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in
derision.
5
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore
displeasure.
6
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7
I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this
day have I begotten thee.
8
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the
uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a
potter's vessel.
10
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is
kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Psalm 27:1-5
1
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the
strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2
When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my
flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3
Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war
should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4
One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell
in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the
Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
5
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of
his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
Recently
we have reviewed, studied and concluded that truly, Old Testament scripture
reveals Yeshua Jesus prophetically, and that when He said, “Think not that I am
come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to
fulfil.” He meant that He came to fulfill all the prophetic words spoken about
Him throughout the scriptures of old without bringing destruction to the value
of what was written in the Torah and other writings. Jesus did not come to
destroy the word. He is the word.
It
is written,” In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by
him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light
of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it
not. And the Word was made flesh, and
dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of
the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
In
John 5:46-47 Jesus said,
46
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
47
But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
We
know that scripture teaches us that the house of God is founded upon the
Prophets and Apostles with Jesus being the chief corner stone and that house,
the gates of hell shall not prevail against. Ever since I dedicated my life to
God, I have been striving to be one who believes these principles whole
heartedly. In my walk, I have discovered you cannot set aside the foundational teachings
of those who Yeshua Jesus said He will build His house upon. All scripture is
good for instruction in righteousness.
Today
in America there are actually liberal leaders of cities who proclaim that jails,
incarcerations and law enforcement, are a sickness, unholy, and have not led to
safe communities. In other cities the
blaring of the loudspeaker from mosques are now being heard robbing residents
of their peace, and streets are being named after Islamic terrorist
sympathizers who are calling for war against Israel and America. People who are
demanding laws be followed and American principles be respected are told to be
quiet and move out of the city. Further, because they dared to question these practices,
they are labeled Islamophobic and promised a parade to celebrate their
departure after they have left.
As
a point of contention, I object to the terms which include the word phobia when
it refers to workers of iniquity. This is a label the workers of inequity want
to place upon their dissenters, and/or those who are in opposition to and/or
disagree with their constitutions. Phobia is a Latin term meaning an irrational
fear of something. I assure you that disagreement with Islam or anything having
to do with the lgbtq community or any other unrighteous movement is certainly
not irrational, and does not involve fear. It’s more like disagreement or even
a repulsion of the afore mentioned. To me a more proper term would be more like
Islamofastidum, or Transfastidium. Homofastidium really wouldn’t be quite right
as Homo means man and fastidium means repulsion, disagreement with, or disgust,
or arrogant disgust. Therefore, Homofastidium would ultimately mean a
disagreement with or a repulsion of humans. However, since they have proven to
be exceptionally adept at hijacking positive terms and objects to suit their
desires for representation, I can make an exception as it can be directly
associated with the term homosexuality.
When reading about or speaking about the subject of change
in the principles of many Americans toward darkness, I hear people asking,
“What happened to these people?” I remember when I was a boy, I got into a
little trouble now and then. As an adult, in retrospect, I realize that that
trouble was usually due to a momentary lapse of good judgement on my part. When this occurred, I was disciplined by my
parents, as it should be. I remember also, at these times, common questions my
dad would ask me were, “what has gotten into you”, or, “whatever possessed you
to do that?” It wasn’t until later on in
life, until after I decided to follow Jesus and study scripture, that it fully dawned
on me how remarkable the response a question like this could elicit. So, when
you observe these leftists and their behavior and it prompts you to ask, “What
happened to these people?” Please listen to me. Based on my experiences, what
has happened is surely something dark and real from the spirit realm.
As
one who has contended with demons and casts out devils, I am confident in
saying that, without a doubt, many of these people are influenced by
principalities and powers. They are under the spell of the rulers of darkness
of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places. Believe this, In the
beginning it was the fallen angels who taught mankind dark botany, alchemy,
metallurgy, warfare and weaponry. In Germany during the era of WWI through WWII,
German engineering was leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of the world. Their
war machine was highly advanced and nearly unstoppable. They were spiritually
assisted by those who hate God and hate God’s chosen people. They received a
reward for the sacrificing of such. If it weren’t for the good flowing through
the allied forces and a concerted decision and effort to take a stand, the
world would be a much different place today.
The
likes of many liberal politicians and their ilk seem highly intelligent, and
quick witted above many. This comes from an ancient influence who knows God and
has honed its skills over thousands of years, as it has practiced to debate,
reason with and devour God’s children. Abominations come in many forms. They
are allowed to influence or inhabit people and coddled by many, including the
church. Love your enemy is no way inclusive of loving THE enemy or enemies of
God. Devils are to be cast out, rebuked and trodden under the foot of the
righteous. The misguided church does, in fact, support and defend the existence
of unclean spirits. In many cases these abominations and their vessels have
been allowed access to pulpits all across America. Instead of rebuking and
destroying the works of darkness, many Christians foster and protect them,
allowing them to be nurtured and grow until they devour our children.
For
decades, through many sources of media, people have been desensitized to the
dangers of the demonic. Romancing and/or sympathizing with monsters, witches,
vampires, werewolves, and ghosts has become a thing. Necromancing with the
assistance of a board game or special cards given as gifts to children actually
occurs today. Today the heathen rage shouting fascist, Hitler, Nazi or any
other well-known term associated with evil, as projection tactics hurled in the
direction of their adversary. This is done to mis-direct humanity’s discovery as
to who the true purveyor of evil is. Saying it loud and often can render the
terms meaningless. They who have aligned themselves with the same dark spirits
can hide behind the diminishing impact of the terms, believing you are not
likely to make the connection between them and it. Ironically, wickedness has
such a grasp on the minds of these people that they don’t even realize that as
they are raging, rioting, and threatening others in an attempt to force compliance
with their demands, align with their movement, or adopt their ideologies, they
themselves are practicing fascism.
Proverbs
31:8-9
8
Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to
destruction.
9
Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
It
is written, “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but
rather reprove them”. And, “Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also
may fear”.
The
lord is calling us to speak, open your mouth and speak righteously because the
speechless are being led to destruction. Judge righteous judgement. Evil must
be confronted and evil tongues must be condemned. Speak judgement in righteousness,
reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. As Paul
instructed Timothy. It is written,
“For
the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their
own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they
shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But
watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist,
make full proof of thy ministry.” Contend for faith and study to show thyself,
approved.
Acts 4:1-33
1
And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple,
and the Sadducees, came upon them,
2
Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the
resurrection from the dead.
3
And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was
now eventide.
4
Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men
was about five thousand.
5
And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,
6
And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many
as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
7
And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what
name, have ye done this?
8
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the
people, and elders of Israel,
9
If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what
means he is made whole;
10
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of
Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead,
even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11
This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the
head of the corner.
12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under
heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
13
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were
unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them,
that they had been with Jesus.
14
And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say
nothing against it.
15
But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred
among themselves,
16
Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath
been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we
cannot deny it.
17
But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them,
that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.
18
And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the
name of Jesus.
19
But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the
sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
20
For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
21
So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how
they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for
that which was done.
22
For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was
shewed.
23
And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the
chief priests and elders had said unto them.
24
And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord,
and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea,
and all that in them is:
25
Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and
the people imagine vain things?
26
The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against
the Lord, and against his Christ.
27
For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both
Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were
gathered together,
28
For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.
29
And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that
with all boldness they may speak thy word,
30
By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done
by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
31
And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled
together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word
of God with boldness.
32
And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul:
neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his
own; but they had all things common.
33
And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord
Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
Again, His house is to be built upon the Apostles and Prophets with Jesus being the chief corner stone. In that, when led by the Holy Spirit, we have to find the courage to do the work of an evangelist no matter the threat we may face.
Recently
we went over who and what our Lord hates and whom he will not hear. We find
record of this in the books of the prophets and writings of the Apostles. As a
reminder, we read teachings such as,
Psalm
97: 10
10 Ye that love the Lord, hate evil:
he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of
the wicked.
5 The Lord trieth the
righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares,
fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their
cup.
7 For the righteous Lord loveth
righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
5
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
John 9: 31
31 Now we know that God heareth not
sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he
heareth.
The prophet Amos teaches us thatthis in,
Amos
5:15
15
Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be
that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
Within
the word of God we find how He hates all workers of lawlessness. They who are
haughty and prideful. Those who bare false witness and speak lies. They who
devise wickedness, shed innocent blood, are quick to make mischief and sow
discord among the brethren. Those who betray Him and those who offend children
who believe in Him. It is written, “Woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is
betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.”
And,
“It
is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they
come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and
he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
Proverbs
6:16-19
16
These six things doth the Lord hatshed innocent bloode: yea, seven are an
abomination unto him:
17
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to
mischief,
19
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
The teachings of our Lord and savior, the Christ child, are flowing through the Prophets and Apostles with encouragement, guidance, and instruction, “That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” I know it seems like we have been focusing on the things that are disdainful to God lately and I asked Him why this is so, why are we coming from this direction consistently? I believe His response is, because you will. Because few others will and though many don’t want to hear it, it is none the less the word of God he wants preached so that repentance for the remission of sin will be practiced by those who have an ear and are willing to hear and then do.
Many
sitting in the churches do not want to hear this part of the teachings of
Yeshua Jesus the Christ child of Nazareth. We have heard them proclaim things
like, God does not speak to me like that, or because, all I have to do is
believe, I am already bought by the blood of the sacrifice Jesus shed on the
cross. But the truth we all must remember is this, scripturally, Jesus teaches
that not everyone is a child of God and God does not love everyone. He hates
all workers of inequity. It is His word, He spoke it. He is the potter we are
the clay. Can the clay form the potter? Also, so very important to remember is
that God forbids that we carry on in sin because grace abounds. Further.
In Hebrews 10:26 it is written,
26
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth,
there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
When
I was a boy, I got into a little trouble now and then. For me what was the
worst of the punishment was not the anticipation of the punishment, nor the stern
talking to nor the spankings. It was the profound disappointment in the air and
on the faces of my parents that troubled me the most. In those moments I deeply
experienced a separation from them, their approval and acceptance, and dare I
say, even their Love. It took love. It took acknowledgement of, and apologies
for, wrong doing on my part, as well as time for the feeling of separation to
wane and disappear. That time spent in remorse and feeling separated was more
of a deterrent than any other punishment. I was sensitive to it.
We
who are spiritual are sensitive to the love of the Father, the Son and the Holy
Spirit. In preparing for this teaching and writing it out, I was in tears more
than once because of this, I believe.
In
Psalms 2 above we read,
“Kiss
the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is
kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.”
This
is one of those times when Old Testament scripture is teaching us about Jesus.
To kiss means to come into agreement and/or with to make a covenant with. We
need to align ourselves with Him before we perish in the way that comes with
not doing so. Jesus like God gets angry and His wrath is yet to be felt by the
workers of iniquity and wickedness. The times and events prophesied in the book
of revelations are yet to come. He will sweep the floor. He will clean it and
burn up the chaff.
Working iniquity is working lawlessness. Lawlessness is transgression of the law. Sin is transgression of the law. Why do the heathen rage? The answer is absolutely heart breaking. They rage in the state of unrepentant sin. They rage because of the lack of alignment of their spirit man with Jesus. The heathens rage because they demand the destruction of Gods children and know that because of the intervention of eternal matters it simply will not materialize. The heathens rage because they demand the blessings of the kingdom eternal while rejecting the beliefs and works such a blessing requires. The heathen rages because they have a more profound love of the world and the things in it than they can muster for God and the things of the Kingdom of heaven. The bible tells us this, “If you don’t know love you don’t know God because God is love”. The heathens rage because they know that God is love and that God hates all workers of iniquity. The heathens rage because absent repentance and obedience to God, they find themselves in a constant state of turmoil, vexation, and separation from the Father. The Father is love who can stand to be separated from love, who can stand to be hated by love?
Romans
8:31-39
31
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against
us?
32
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he
not with him also freely give us all things?
33
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that
justifieth.
34
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen
again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for
us.
35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress,
or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted
as sheep for the slaughter.
37
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us
from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
