The Great Come-around

In due time rebels will run up against an authority they cannot resist and their fall, God promises, will be at the hand of the merciless – one more merciless than they.


Proverbs 17
11 An evil man is bent only on rebellion; a merciless official will be sent against him.

The term rebellion is seldom used in our culture but there are many dissidents who are rebels. They are usually those who bear false witness, advocate change of the status quo or impugning false motives to the actions of others of peace loving nature. Such people also seem to be uneasy with the truth and quickly work to get people around them who agree with them. They are not open to discussion, hearing the explanations or views of others and above all place their opinions above the word of God. In due time rebels will run up against an authority they cannot resist and their fall, God warns, will be at the hand of the merciless – one perhaps more merciless than they. This is the law of cause and effect in human affairs.
