The Rise And Fall of Kingdoms by Greg Holmes, D.MIN – Director of Missions serving 17 churches
AMIDST THE BACKDROP of history known and unknown is clearly and starkly outlined the rise and fall of nations. And in each of those nations, some figure proudly leading at the pinnacle of power imagines themself invincible. Genghis Khan, Ramses the Second, Nebuchadnezzar, and Alexander the Great of ancient times were such figures. So were Hitler and Pol Pot more recently. On the world stage today, similar names are emerging. For each, their regime was indestructible in their mind, but, alas, a different story is now told. David, warrior, king, and often prophet, muses, “Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his Anointed One.” (Psa. 2:1-2)
