There is an adage that says, “Might makes right.” This emobodies the essence of Empire. Recognizing this distinction is crucial for navigating the complexities of faith and societal power dynamics. Isaiah 13:19-21; 47:5-15, Jer 50:31-32; Rev 17:3-18; 18:7
Empires tend to project power and influence that seem god-like, but ultimately serve as counterfeits, leading individuals away from true spiritual connection with God. Daniel 3:3-7; Romans 1:21-23; Colossians
We live in the tension of two worlds, whether we recognize it or not. It’s a clash of values where each side applies pressure to confrom. The world we choose to embrace becomes the world we choose to become. Titus 2:12; Hebrews 11:3; 1 Peter 2:11; 1 John 2:16-17
