Blasphemy! How men are to pray for tyrants

EGYPT: "...and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of their bondage. And God heard their groaning...and God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them."
Exodus 2:23-24

"It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established (ratified and empowered) in righteousness."
Proverbs 16:12


Righteousness (justice) is the condition of power and authority that distinguishes a criminal from government, which is to be just. "He that rules over men must be just, ruling (not merely speaking) in the fear of God" (2 Sam. 23:3). The idea of "praying for the President", the idea of supporting WHOEVER is in the seat of power, regardless of their perjury, injustice, deceit, public manipulation, secret murders, conspiracy to usurp powers, overthrowing constitutional government, etc., is the doctrine of the Devil in hell, NOT the doctrine of God in Scripture!

"It is blasphemy to call tyrants ministers of God" -- Rev. Jonathan Mayhew, 1750.

The Scripture is being quoted frequently by the false prophets, of the modern "conservative" and "christian" churches, who "say they are Jews (or God's chosen people and christians) and are not"! These flatterers of tyrants must be exposed for their blasphemy against a righteous and holy God, for "taking his name in vain" (breaking the 3rd commandment, the first with a threat of God's avenging himself on such), deceitfully, to hold onto the reins of power, who promote their Republican Man of Sin and deceiver. Christian truth is brought to disgrace, the laws of God impugned, by these modern "soothsayers" of Pharoah, who claim to be prophets and pastors, but God never sent them.

The Scripture they quote to "pray for" these Presidents, commanding all to support, applaud, and pledge absolute allegiance to in full and blind obedience, is as twisted in their non-discerning overliteral interpretation, as the Scriptures which Satan used to tempt Jesus in the wilderness with to "turn stones into bread", and cast himself down from the temple pinnacle, for "it is written, angels shall guard you", etc.. Woe unto these modern Scribes and Pharisees, who unite again with Herod to crucify Justice!

The text they refer to is this:

"I exhort therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, giving of thanks (varieties of prayers), be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority (power)... 1 Tim. 2:1-2.

...And here these false prophets stop. Note first these things, 1) all manner of prayers are to be made, 2) for ALL MEN (not just rulers!). How they forget this! If we see the poor or oppressed man, widow, orphan, or the citizen who has been unjustly accused, or for "all men" under the rule of a tyrant and oppressor...are we not commanded to pray for THEM--the victims of oppression and tyranny, against evil governors? Who is praying for justice to the people under the rod of a usurper and tyrant, persecuted and reviled in society, for upholing justice against false laws, false rulers, liars, murderers, extortionists, thieves, and elite gangs who believe they can "legislate in all things"--making injustice law--"whatsoever", with complete impunity, while commanding all to obey their pretended "authority"? Who will pray for those under the bonds of a wicked and deceitful government? WHERE ARE THE PRAYER GROUPS FOR THIS IN THE "CHURCHES"--WHO WOULD PRAY FOR RELIEF FROM TYRANNY AND DECEIT? Hypocrites!

This "ALL MEN" they forget, and rush to their main point, "for kings....and all that are in authority", as if the "for" means "in support of" (which it may and can), absolutely and without any conditions. HERE IS THEIR ERROR! The text continues saying HOW to pray for "kings...and those in authority":

..."that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty", and later, to "God our Savior; who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth".

Note the conditions that are to be consequence of such praying for rulers, "THAT WE MAY LEAD A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE IN ALL GODLINESS AND HONESTY". Kings and rulers are to enact laws of Justice (righteousness of God), not laws of injustice, tyranny, usurpation, wickedness and craft, so "that WE MAY lead a quiet and peaceable life", etc, WHICH NO MAN CAN DO UNDER TYRANNY AND OPPRESSION! When kings and rulers overthrow justice (including obedience to God's laws), the people (unless they are dead or stupid) feel it, and murmur and groan for justice, to be relieved of injustice and be avenged, like the children of Israel under that Pharoah of Egypt, when "God heard the groans" of the people--their praying for relief from the tryant, not "for" him--and sent them a deliverer in Moses! Praying in support of a President ought only to be done when he supports justice "in all godliness and HONESTY", which is contrary to this wicked usurper in the White-washed house on Pennsylvania Ave! I ask you, how is it possible to "lead and quiet and peaceable life"--which some want all to do, for their own gain--"IN ALL HONESTY!" You CANNOT do so "honestly", but only by hating justice, or supporting evil and tyranny, along with the wicked in power.

These Scribes and Pharisees "teach as commandments of God the (perverted) traditions of men", and ignore the true sense of the text, and "wrest" and corrupt its true meaning, which is pure nonsense, as if Satan himself were President (hypothetically?), that we are under obligation to "pray FOR" (in support of) that Wicked usurper, liar, thief, tyrant and murderer, and pay him homage, pledge absolute allegiance to, contrary to common sense and natural reason--and contrary to the meaning of the text in holy Scriptures! No wonder the pagans rage against Modern American Christianity, for its gross and apparent "support" of Evil, which God commanded not!

The Scriptures make clear that "all in authority" are BOUND and REGULATED by God in their duties (which they and all men hate naturally) by God's requirements of justice (righteousness) revealed in his perfect and holy laws.

"He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God". King David, 2 Samuel 23:3

THAT is an obligatory requirement, therefore, which text they NEVER quote, that rulers "MUST" be just, "in the fear of God" (i.e. not contrary to his revealed laws and justice)
or they FORFEIT THEIR RIGHT TO RULE in such matters. If a King or President, condones murder of innocents, without just cause, the people are not to support or pray for, but resist and pray against, such a wicked ruler, who has trespassed his office!

The purpose of Government, in these same Scriptures the modern false prophets of the Republican Anti-Christ (whom the Democratic Sadduccees also support with Caiphas for Roman power) is to ADMINISTER JUSTICE---NOT INJUSTICE, NOT TYRANNY, NOT DECEIT, NOT CONSPIRACY AND CRAFT!

"For rulers are not (to be) a terror to good works, but to the evil." Romans 13

Government is to be a terror ONLY "to the evil" (which is why the Usurper employs this word in speeches so often, to label according to his own will), NOT "to good works"--not a terror to justice and righteousness. When government does not administer Justice like this, but overthrows it, for arbitary and full and arbitrary rule, contrary to the justice of God and his laws in Scripture (including "not shedding innocent blood" in murders, wars, or conspiracies of deceit to the citizens whom they are to defend), then it ceases to be "the ordinance of God", which is always Justice (evil has no right to govern, ever, even by wicked majorities), and it ceases to be a "minister of God", but becomes a criminal against God and society, fit to be tried and punished! THE BALLOT BOX NEVER AUTHORIZES INJUSTICE OR TYRANNY! When government becomes Criminal, a new government is needed to resist and punish it, which the people are free to do. Even the pagan Romans know this, and often brought justice against a usurper or tyrant, by a righteous "coup", or a "Brutus", or "The Gladiator", or by a Cromwell with a group in Parliament, as testified by Patrick Henry:

"Caesar had his Brutus, Charles I his Cromwell, and King George...(cries of 'treason, treason' resonated in the Continental Congress)...and King George would due well to take notice...if this be treason, lets make the most of it".
(Patrick Henry in opposition to the Stamp Act)

How politically incorrect is Patrick Henry today, under such pretended "Republican righteousness"!

So how are we to pray for leaders and rulers who are unjust and usurping tyrants as opposed to just "ministers of God", and good and faithful rulers? God tells us how in Scripture, which these modern Scribes forget:

"God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods (i.e. governors, princes, kings, presidents, congresses). HOW LONG WILL YE JUDGE UNJUSTLY, AND ACCEPT THE PERSONS OF THE WICKED? Selah. Defend the poor and fatherless (you corrupt "gods"), do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy (not through socialism, but administration of justice): RID THEM OUT OF THE HAND OF THE WICKED.....I (God through David) have said, 'YE ARE GODS; AND ALL YE ARE CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH, BUT YE SHALL DIE LIKE MEN, AND FALL LIKE ONE OF THE PRINCES...
Arise, O God, judge the earth (in justice)!"
Psalm (prayer) 82

Here is a Psalm and prayer that teaches us how to pray for justice against wicked rulers, where God becomes our righteous Advocate and Prosecutor against them! The prophet and King David is witness that God judges "the gods", rulers and Presidents (like it or not), and requires them to "do justice, love mercy", in delivering the poor (due to oppression, not for sloth) from the oppressor and tyrant! This is how God commands Presidents and Congress...to do justice.....and set free the oppressed from their tyranny and unjust laws, deceit and craft! Or else he threatens them with HIS justice...."Ye are gods.....but ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes" (as many in history have fallen).

Here is a reliable witness, John Knox, to this entire interpretation in history, in his self defense, who acted as in the place of Moses, delivering the Christian Scots from the tyranny of their oppressor Mary:

(Lethington): How will ye prove your division and difference, and that the person placed in authority may be resisted, and God's ordinance not transgressed, seeing the Apostle says, "He that resists the powers, resisteth the ordinance of God" (Rom. 13)?

(Knox): My Lord, the plain words of the Apostle (Paul) make the difference, and the acts of many approved by God prove my affirmative. First, the Apostle affirms that the powers of God are ordained by God FOR THE PRESERVATION OF QUIET AND PEACEABLE MEN, AND FOR THE PUNISHMENT OF MALEFACTORS. From this it is plain that the ordinance of God and the power gigven unto men is one thing, and the person clad with the power or with the authority is another. God's ordinance is the conservation (true conservatives!) of mankind, the punishment of vice, and he maintaining of virtue, which is itself holy, just, constant, stable, and perpetual (in God's laws). But men clad with the authority are commonly profane and unjust....GOD THREATENETH THEM by his prophet David, saying, "I have said ye are gods, and everyone of you the sons of the Most Highest; BUT YE SHALL DIE AS MEN, AND THE PRINCES SHALL FALL AS OTHERS". Here I am assured that persons, soul and body of wicked princes, are threatened with death....Now, my Lord, IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE PRINCE MAY BE RESISTED, AND YET THE ORDINANCE OF GOD NOT VIOLATED."
-- John Knox, History of Scottish Reformation, p. 317-318

Impreccatory prayers are more fit for tyrants!

"Why boasteth thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually. Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue! God shall likewise destroy thee forever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee (as nothing) out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah (think about it)."
Psalm 52, written by the Holy Spirit through the pen of good King David.

Let "prayers" for "Kings and all who are in authority" be ammended accordingly!
