"Why have the nations been in tumult
And the national groups themselves kept muttering an empty thing?
  The kings of earth take their stand
And high officials themselves have massed together as one
Against Jehovah and against his anointed one,
  [Saying:] “Let us tear their bands apart
And cast their cords away from us!” Ps2:1
Still politicians speak of peace and security, life, liberty, and justice for all, as we fall deeper into "critical times hard to deal with." 2Ti3:1
