Human Government - Part 1 by Robert Kornegay on Sunday, June 8, 2025

Dive into "Human Government - Part 1," a compelling message that uncovers the biblical narrative of human governance. Beginning with God's original dominion given to humanity in Genesis and the subsequent failure of mankind before the Flood, the teaching highlights the emergence of the first human kingdom under Nimrod – an act rooted in rebellion against God. The message connects this historical thread to the empires depicted in Daniel's prophecies (Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome), portraying them as earthly powers destined to fall before God's eternal kingdom. A significant portion is dedicated to understanding Satan's influence, identifying him through various biblical names like the "devil," "adversary," "serpent," "evil one," "tempter," "prince of the power of the air," and "god of this world." The speaker illustrates how Satan consistently tempts leaders with worldly glory, mirroring his temptation of Jesus. Crucially, the teaching underscores the spiritual incompatibility between God's people and human governments, drawing parallels from Israel's history of being warned against covenants with foreign nations to Paul's exhortation in 2 Corinthians 6:14 against being "unequally yoked with unbelievers." This message challenges listeners to consider their allegiance, stressing that God's kingdom alone is eternal and that true believers have no fellowship with the lawlessness and darkness inherent in worldly systems. ******* Hear more messages and find out more about Oyster Bay Church of Christ in Crawfordville, FL on our website: https://www.obcoc.org/
