Re: Virginia Governor's Infringement of The People's God-Ordained Duty & Gross Violation of U.S. Constitution & of Holy Writ (Zechariah 8:16-17)
The following quotations are instructive as they are timely for us all in these perilous days. May our Judge, Lawgiver & King JESUS be exalted and His people encouraged.
U.S.
Chief Justice Marshall: “All laws which are repugnant to the
Constitution are null and void.” -Marbury vs. Madison 5 US (2
Cranch) 137, 174, 176, (1803 A.D.).
"A legislature must not obstruct our obedience to Him from whose punishment they cannot protect us. All human laws which contradict His laws we are in conscience bound to disobey." -George Mason
"But hereof be assured, that all is not lawful nor just that is statute by civil laws; neither yet is everything sin before God, which ungodly persons allege to be treason." -Scottish preacher John Knox, c. 16th century (during the Protestant Reformation)
"For earthly princes lay aside their power when they rise up against God, and are unworthy to be reckoned among the number of mankind. We ought, rather, to spit upon their heads than to obey them." -preacher John Calvin (Commentary on Daniel, Lecture XXX Daniel 6:22)
"In 1773 a sermon was preached by Charles Turner from Romans, XIII. 4, in which he meets the objections that ministers should not meddle in politics, and while he concedes its force in mere local matters, he boldly asserts that it is their duty to interfere where the liberties of the land are assailed, not only for the sake of their own posterity as well as that of others, but because, 'when the civil rights of a country receive a shock, it may justly render the ministers of God deeply thoughtful for the safety of sacred privileges - for religious liberty is so blended with civil, that if one falls it is not to be expected that the other will continue.'" -C. Turner, c. 1773 A.D.
"If they (government authorities) command anything against Him (God), let it go un-esteemed. And here let us not be concerned about all the dignity which the magistrates possess." --- preacher John Calvin (The Institution of the Christian Religion, written in 1536 A.D.)
"These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates: and let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbor; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD." -Zechariah 8:16-17 [KJV]
