Read carefully: Psalm 82:1-7 “God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; He judgeth “among the gods”. How long will ye judge unjustly, & accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. Defend the poor & fatherless: do justice to the afflicted & needy. Deliver the poor & needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods; & all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, & fall like one of the princes.” At the Tower of Babel after the Lord confused the nations we see: Deut 32:8-9(ESV) “When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when He divided mankind, He fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God. But the Lord’s portion is His people, Jacob his allotted heritage.” –So we see here that God apportioned the nations (except Israel) to some of His created beings. These are the powers & principalities that rule over nations that Paul refers to. These are the ones wreaking havoc on the world today just as they did in the past. Do you see how history repeats itself in Afghanistan, Australia, & Russia to name a few. Too much to unpack in one message, but remember we fight not against flesh & blood but against demons & those they influence. Always PRAY. Love Mel
