✦ MADE SIMPLE

I'm going to topple every kingdom's throne and crush the power of nations that don't know me. I'll wreck their war chariots and the soldiers driving them — their horses and riders will fall, and they'll end up turning their swords on each other.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God's saying he'll bring down every earthly power that stands against him.
