He has the final word.
Now Think On This

“Why are the nations in an uproar and the peoples devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, "Let us tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords from us!"
He who sits in the heavens laughs, the Lord scoffs at them. Then He will speak to them in His anger and terrify them in His fury, saying, "But as for Me, I have installed My King upon Zion, My holy mountain." (Psalm 2:1-6 NASU)
Losing respect for a world leader and the office he sits in doesn’t typically happen overnight. But after seeing the manipulation, deceitfulness and vast amounts of resources spent on such wasteful agendas that have been pushed on our nation as truth, on a vast number of people, it took just a bit longer than that. It this case, losing respect for such a one actually took only about a year since that election day.
It amazes me how people can become so blind when they actively pursue their own comfort, pleasure or personal benefit. They tend to ignore the reality of the real world, and live as if the Walt Disney bubble surrounding them truly exists outside their own make believe story line.
And if by watching the same Peter Pan fairy movie, “and never wanting to grow up”, their concept of life continues on in complete unreality. Their blindness, occurring on the deadly path they had chosen, has now taken a once righteous nation down a dark and forbidden road.
Building such a kingdom will be shaken, as promised. It is a vain thing to despise the counsel of the Lord, and make up your own laws.
Taking a stand against the decrees of the Lord and against His Anointed, Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, is not a smart thing to do. Declaring that you, o kings of the earth and the ruler of this nation, know more than what your Creator has made known to you in His written Word, has blinded the very eyes you claim you see clearly through. O what a foolish thing you do.
Personally I get rather angry when I hear those in lofty positions speak such high and mighty words, telling us of their plans and purposes, when knowing full well that within their heart lies deceit and pride. Believing that what they espouse and accomplish in this temporary life time period, in order to leave behind a legacy of “wowdom”, just won’t happen. The Lord sits in the heavens and laughs. He scoffs at them.
When one removes prayer from the schools and the Bible from the courtroom; when righteous declarations are replaced with ungodly spewing; when foundational respect for life is terminated along with the unborn beating heart, then we know that the time of man’s foolishness is quickly coming to an end.
Psalm 2 continues on, "I will surely tell of the decree of the Lord. He said to Me, 'You are My Son, today I have begotten You. 'Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Your possession. 'You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like earthenware.'"
Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; take warning, O judges of the earth. Worship the Lord with reverence and rejoice with trembling. Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, for His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!” (Psalm 2:7-12 NASU)
The Almighty God will only allow so much before He then says it is enough. The rulers, kings, and judges of this world will never have the final say. The King, the Son of God - He will be the One who does have the final word. When that time comes, and He does speak forth from His heavenly throne, His rod of iron will put an end to the foolish and prideful hearts and minds of ungodly men. They best worship Him, rather than the ground they walk on.
We are blessed who take our refuge in the Savior. We are blessed if we heed His Words, and walk in His ways.
Judgement does come. Each will be held accountable for what he has done. The Lord laughs at those who think otherwise.
