![]() ![]() Who is among you of all His people? May his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel (He is God), which is in Jerusalem. And He has commanded me to build Him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah. Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying, Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth the LORD God of heaven has given me. Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin."Īnd the LORD said to Samuel, "Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them. Then Pilate said to Him, "Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have power to crucify You, and power to release You?" Jesus answered, "You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure." Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold&emdash the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed and the kingdom shall not be left to other people it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. ![]() And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others. But after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to yours then another, a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth. For the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory and wherever the children of men dwell, or the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven, He has given them into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all-you are this head of gold. I will send him against an ungodly nation,Īnd to tread them down like the mire of the streets. The man who executes My counsel, from a far country.Īnd the staff in whose hand is My indignation. The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD,Īnd from ancient times things that are not yet done, Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor. For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing. Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake. But if you do evil, be afraid for he does not bear the sword in vain for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. For he is God's minister to you for good. ![]() Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities.
