OUR LORD WHO RESISTS THE PROUD

The fourth verse of the  book of Obadiah says this;

Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down,” declares the Lord.

This declaration by the Lord  is directed at Satan when he deigned to ascend  to the heights of heaven to take administrative and political control over creation. 

Even though Satan, from his lofty perch, thought He was beyond reach, the Lord God Almighty did in fact reach him and cast him down in an event that Jesus Himself witnessed and described this way in Luke 10 verse 19;

And He said to them, “I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.

In the same way, any men who become haughty enough to see themselves as having the power of judgement over all of humanity seeing them as poor and therefore beneath them, should know that “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” as it says in James chapter 4 verse 6.

Any man, arising in fraternity with the kingdom of darkness and claiming for himself authority over the earth that he did not create and that he does not sustain, the Lord shall oppose him and he shall be cast down for  Jeremiah 50 verse 31 says; “Behold, I am against you, O arrogant one, Declares the Lord God of hosts, “For your day has come, The time when I will punish you.

Let us thank the Lord for His great salvation from the proud who, at the behest of the kingdom of darkness, try to rise above us to oppress us.

Amen.
