That rocks!1 Ne 4:11-13
11 And the Spirit said unto me again: Behold the Lord hath delivered him into thy hands. Yea, and I also knew that he had sought to take away mine own life; yea, and he would not hearken unto the commandments of the Lord; and he also had taken away our property.
12 And it came to pass that the Spirit said unto me again: Slay him, for the Lord hath delivered him into thy hands;
13 Behold the Lord slayeth the wicked to bring forth his righteous purposes. It is better that one man should perish than that a nation should dwindle and perish in unbelief.
That reminds me of the power of the government today. Government has the power to take our property away and demand more whenever it deems necessary. We are slaves to government power with the amount of taxes we pay. Just think of the amount of our lives government power takes from us through our daily work at our jobs. How much of our time goes to support government and not ourselves and our families.
Of course just remember who gives that power to the government, the majority. It is a wicked mess we find ourselves. A country that refuses to submit to and worship Jesus is doom to our fate. People must have the Spirit if they are to be trusted with so much power. Never trust a wicked people, especially a wicked people with voting rights. People must worship Jesus for liberty to take place. What people call Freedom today is a counterfeit produced by Satan.
Who thinks the people who do not worship Jesus Christ and grants government more power over people through Satan’s skillful tactics are setting themselves up for the same fate Laban found?
