My friend Wayne Sturgeon and I discuss the 4 views of Romans 13 that he brings to the table to discuss on todays Life-Quest Podcast. There seem to be a common assumption that the passage in Romans 13v1-7 justifies 'unconditional submission' to human Government. We are challenging this assumption in this initial 4 part series on Romans 13  and the wider issues, historically, culturally and individually. This first view is from an Anabaptist perspective.

Daniel chapter 5v5-30 reveals that the time for the Babylonian empire was at an end. Lieutenant-General Sir John Glubb was a British soldier, scholar and author who studied the life cycle of world empires throughout history and discovered that all empires have a lifespan of about 250 years on average. He argued that empires go through seven steps. The age of outburst (or pioneers), the age of conquests, the age of commerce, the age of affluence, the age of intellect, the age of decadence and finally the age of decline and collapse. <br />The king of Babylon in his arrogance and pride is drinking from the vessels from the Temple of God.<br />Unlike his father Nebuchadnezzar, this king did not acknowledge the one true God. Even as the king and a thousand of his nobles are getting drunk and praising the gods of gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood and stone suddenly there appears out of the blue some writing on the wall. The message is from God....Your days are numbered, you have been weighed in the balance and found wanting, your kingdom is at an end and given to another kingdom, which also fell and was given over and on and on. All empires have their lifespan. The West has been travelling in a direction of soft Totalitarianism, and has become harder from March 2020. Are the leaders of Western Governments as arrogant and proud as this king who did not acknowledge that the Most High God alone rules in the kingdom of men. Is the Writing on the Wall for Western Culture? Is a new Globalist empire being formed to take over from the 'democractic' Western empire to terminate the nation state and impose a Globalist One World Government? This is what this podcast is about......All empires have their 'Writing on the Wall' moment. We are called as followers of Jesus to understand the times in which we live. Writing on the Wall attempts to do that from a Biblical Worldview perspective.
