Exodus ch.33:11ASV"And Moses besought JEHOVAH his God, and said, JEHOVAH, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, that thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?"
Exodus ch.8:19ASV"Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as JEHOVAH had spoken."
Daniel ch.2:27,28ASV"Daniel answered before the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded can neither wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor soothsayers, show unto the king; 28but there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and he hath made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these: "
In bible times the Lord JEHOVAH demonstrated his superiority over the so called Gods of the nations with majestic displays of wisdom and power that humiliated them and their priests.
In these end times JEHOVAH continues to distinguish himself from the 'competition'
through the accomplishment of wonders predicted centuries in advance. For instance :
Micah ch.4:3,4ASV"3and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
4But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig-tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of JEHOVAH of hosts hath spoken it.
John ch.17:22ASV"And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we are one;"
The facts of history reveal that only JEHOVAH of all professing Gods has been able to fulfill these prophecies which (given the fallen nature of humanity) are as amazing as any miracle reported in scripture. Christendom's nameless three headed God and her false Christ have failed spectacularly in this regard, and we need not go to the pages of history for examples.
JEHOVAH'S people have kept this peace with JEHOVAH and each other despite official opposition from the elites of the present age.
Revelation ch.6:10,11ASV"and they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11And there was given them to each one a white robe; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little time, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, who should be killed even as they were, should have fulfilled their course ."
So contrary to the false gospel of post millenialists the state will remain in an adversarial relationship with the true church until the the true kingdom of JEHOVAH asserts its lawful claim over the earth. Note true Christians do not retaliate or pursue political power over their religious rivals unlike the fake churches of Christendom. They rest as commanded until the highest bench in the universe takes up their cause. How could imperfect men retain such patience and fidelity to divine law under such intense and unrelenting trial. Only by power of the one true God JEHOVAH through his only true Christ.
John ch.17:33NIV"“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”"
The same God that raised our Lord from the dead enables us to resist every attempt to get us to compromise with this dying world individually and collectively.
Indeed the Lord JEHOVAH continues to exalt himself as the one true God via signs and wonders.
