Jesus is my savior, 'Outranking all others' is my president

It's a phrase from an occasionally noticed t-shirt.

Now is the time to address maybe why he is so comfortable leaving us with our faith while we leave him with the keys to our kingdom(s).

Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. (Rev 14:9-10)

A reminder is again necessary - to force us to open our eyes to see the past.

'Ruler of the world' 'Outranking all others' was seated on his throne. Then it was announced that the "public needed to be shown." After the image inflicted his torment that was said would save us all and additionally destroyed the border and the economy of this once great nation which everyone thought was dead, 'Ruler of the world' has returned to rebuild his fortress.

Like it or not, this simple excerpt from a broader more complicated sequence has played out in due time - our time - his time. This cannot be escaped. Not writing about it does not change that it has happened. Not liking it does not change that either. It is, it seems, "'Outranking all others' time" and "in <his> time, three years <now> is eternity." Note 'this' time is his time. Very subtle! And he appears to be quite excited for his time! His first 'time' was in preparation.

"If anyone worships the beast..."

Recall that it was written that he would have the people create an image of the first beast - the one from the sea. The first beast is a nation and/or/with other nations as described to Daniel. Worshiping the beast through his new religion - MxGA, Peace through strength, etc.

As he stands in various stadiums in various contexts before multitudes of unaware captive gazers, for him, just having them in the stadium is enough. It matters not that those filling the seats will claim to hold to another for salvation of their soul. Nor does it matter what he says to tease this faith so long as he keeps turning worship to his deliverance. And he always makes that turn with every concession!

So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. (Rev 12:15)

And Jesus answered and said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they marveled at Him. (Mark 12:17)

“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. (Matthew 6:24)

In what context did the Prince of Peace take up arms?

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:27)

But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. (John 17:13-15)
