When leaders betray the people and systems reach for what isn’t theirs, God still defends what belongs to Him. In this episode of SafelyRAW, Lorraine unpacks the story of Heliodorus in 2 Maccabees 3, a king’s official sent to plunder God’s Temple treasury. But instead of gold, he found himself struck down by heaven’s power.

We draw parallels to today’s world: governments making secret deals, pressure on Australian families, and the push for policies that feel like betrayal. Yet just as God defended His temple then, He still defends His people now.

This is a call to courage, prayer, and Kingdom resilience. Babylon can reach for what is ours, but it cannot take what God has set apart.

Listen in, be encouraged, and remember: you are the temple of the living God, and He will defend what is His.
