Resistance to Tyrants is Obedience to Almighty God!
"Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth." -Revelation 19:6 [KJV]
Friends and brethren, considering the perilous and evil days in which we’ve been appointed (by almighty God) to be alive the following is very important reading regarding true Biblical doctrine and Romans ch. 13 as pertaining to wicked, God-hating people in positions of leadership and authority.
The vast majority of so-called “Christian ministers” are apostate and teach heresies in this falling nation. PLEASE scan through this. PLEASE forward this to God’s people in Christ Jesus,“The LORD our righteousness,”and soon coming “KING OF
GLORY.” Strengthen us in Thee, O LORD God almighty! We long for Thy glorious return!

the darkness, and the light dwelleth with Him." ---Daniel 2:20-22

“We claim them [Rights] from a higher source-from the King of
kings, and Lord of all the earth. They are not annexed to us by parchments and
seals. They are created in us by the decrees of Providence, which establish the
laws of our nature. They are born with us; exist with us; and cannot be taken
from us by any human power without taking our lives. In short, they are founded
on the immutable maxims of reason and justice.” - John
Dickinson
"If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our
country will go on prospering. But if we and our posterity neglect its
instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may
overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound
obscurity." -Daniel Webster, American statesman (1782 - 1852 A.D.)
“Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the
property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they
put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved
from any further obedience and are left to the common refuge, which God hath
provided for all men, against force and violence.” -John Locke, 2nd Treatise on Government
"Resistance to tyranny becomes the Christian and social duty
of each individual… Continue steadfast and, with a proper sense of your
dependence on God, nobly defend those rights which heaven gave, and no man ought
to take from us." -John Hancock
(1737 - 1793 A.D.) American merchant, smuggler, statesman, and prominent patriot
of the American Revolution.
“True law is right reason in agreement with nature; it is of universal
application, unchanging and everlasting; it summons to duty by its commands, and
averts from wrongdoing by its prohibitions. … It is a sin to try to alter this
law, nor is it allowable to repeal any part of it, and it is impossible to
abolish it entirely. We cannot be freed of its obligations by senate or people,
and we need not look outside ourselves for an expounder or interpreter of it.
And there will not be different laws at Rome and at Athens, or different laws
now and in the future, but one eternal and unchangeable law that will be valid
for all nations and all times, and there will be one Master and Ruler, that is
God, over us all, for He is the Author of this law, its promulgator, and its
enforcing judge.” -ancient Roman senator Marcus Tullius Cicero
"Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve
the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. *Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
and ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are
all they that put their trust in Him."

"In 1773 A.D. 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.'"
"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.)

"The [Roman] church may by divine right confiscate the property of heretics,
imprison their person, and condemn them to flames. In our age, the right to
inflict the severest penalties, even death, belongs to the church. There is no
