Starting verse by verse through Malachi.--Understand, when men have more fealty, honor, and reverence for human authority than they do for the Lord and His authority - all of society is in jeopardy.----By their bogus form of religion, the priests were teaching the people to have more fealty, honor and reverence for the civil authorities than they had for the Lord Himself - from whom the civil authorities derive their authority.----And so the churchmen in our day have taught Americans the same thing - they have taught the people to have more fealty, honor, and reverence for human civil authority than for the Lord Himself.----When you speak of the doctrine of the lesser magistrates, the worthless churchmen say -Oh, you don't respect authority.- No - it's precisely the fact that we do respect authority that we understand the abuse of authority must be confronted.----You must understand - without a valid doctrine of authority, order will not stand in society. We now live in a lawless state.--37 min. MercySeat.net DefyTyrants.com
