If Christ Is Your King, Why Are You Allowing The Wicked To Rule? Is This What The Bible Teaches?

"Christ, not man, is King" - The epitaph on Oliver Cromwell's tomb

Have you ever noticed that those God so used were used in a radical sense to win His purpose on this earth against the wicked?  These were those who would stand up in the face of all odds by wholly trusting the Lord (1 Samuel 17).

He used the weak and the foolish that no flesh should glory in His presence (1 Corinthians 1:29-31).

As Hudson Taylor put it, “All God's giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on God being with them.”

This is so that Christ may be glorified, and Him alone!

Let’s look at some heroes of the faith, starting with the meekest man (Power under the Lord’s control) who ever lived, Moses.

Look at Moses confronting Pharoah in commanding, on God’s authority, to “let His people go.”  Read Exodus 5:1 and 9:1.  His radical love for the Lord was apparent and on display for all the world to see.  Read 1 Corinthians 2:5.

Look at the corrupt kings that were conquered by Joshua and the children of Israel.  Look at their love and gratitude on display in keeping the commandments of the Lord (John 14:21; 1 John 5:3).  Also, read the whole of Joshua chapter 12.

Look at Gideon conquering the Midianites and their armies in the trust and strength of the Lord.  Read Judges 8:4-28.

We read in Hebrews 11:32-34:

“And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:  “Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.  Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.”

What of the likes of our American forefathers who coined the slogan, “Resistance to tyrants, is obedience to God”?

What of Martin Luther, Oliver Cromwell, William Wallace and John Knox?

In the face of these heroes of the faith, both past and present, I ask that you put this in contrast to what you see in the American version of Christianity today.

The American professors of today claim that Jesus Christ is their Lord and yet, they submit to the corruptions and wickedness of men.  THAT IS NOT AT ALL WHAT THE MEN/WOMEN IN THE BIBLE DID!

Submitting to men, mind you, that are willfully and purposefully transgressing (overthrowing law-Psalm 94:20) not only the Lord’s Law but also state and federal laws which are predicated on the Torah (5 Books of Moses), advocating for what the Lord that you say that you love condemns; And yet, Jesus is your Lord?

Who is prevailing?

The wicked murder children under the guise of choice.  Read Proverbs 6:17.  All this your Lord condemns.

The wicked kidnap, traffic, and sexually exploit the children.  Read Exodus 21:16 and 1 Timothy 1:10.  All this your Lord condemns!

The wicked advocate sodomy, homosexual 'marriage' (Never in the history of mankind has there been any such thing!), and now, they have even devised what they call 'transgenderism'.  All this your Lord calls an abomination. Again, the God that you claim to be submitted to condemns this.  So, why is it happening?  Read Leviticus 18:22-20:13, Deuteronomy 22:5, Romans 1:26;32.

Remember, if they are not standing against these crimes, they are guilty of them (Numbers 32:23).

Despite God's Law, the wicked are allowed to steal, kill, and destroy just like their father the devil.  Yet, the American church submits to these high crimes in the face of the God to who they claim to be submitted.  To whom are these professors really submitted?  How then is Jesus their King when they submit to the devil and his minions?

William Booth rightly stated, “We are not sent to minister to a congregation and be content if we keep things going. We are sent to make war…and to stop short of nothing but the subjugation of the world to the sway of the Lord Jesus.”

If Jesus is your Lord, then why are you empowering men to war against the God you claim is your Lord?  Read Micah 3:5.

Conclusion: Christians have changed their passion for Christ by letting the world stand in its will in contrast to the Lord’s will.

Look at the bloodshed, the blood of the apostles, the prophets, and the soldiers in the effort that they made and we must make in order to establish righteousness and peace on this earth (Isaiah 51:4).

Jesus, in their lifetime, was and is their Lord.  Yet, we are told to follow in the faith of those who went before us (Hebrews 13:7).

So, I will leave you with this question, “To whom are you actually submitted?”
