Bible Comments

The other part of the dilemma. The counsel of the Lord, that shall stand, Proverbs 19:21 Isaiah 46:10; and it must needs be so, for all power is his, in whom we live and move, Acts 17:28. Fight against God; they who afflict and contend with his people unjustly, though they little think so, set themselves against God, who will overcome at the last, and triumph over his and his people's enemies.

Acts 5:39

39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
