Do the leaders of nations listen to the representatives

of God and what happens when they don't? Is there one

that will testify to the truth on our behalf to judge us

righteously? What will God do with the nations and the

leaders that do not judge righteously?

The Scripture tells us that after the plague of thunder

and hail on the Egyptians during the time of Moses, the

Paraoah asked Moses to pray to his God and stop all the

destruction. But Moses detected insincerity in his heart-

"And Moses said to him, When I go out of the city, I will

spread out my hands to Jehová: the thunder will cease,

and there will be no more hail; that you will know that

the earth is from Jehová. But as for you and your people,

I know that you do not yet fear Jehová Elohim". Pharoah's

plea was granted, but because his heart was not sincere,

he became hardened to the God of truth and mercy. Egypt

was subjected to continued pestilence and destruction.

(reference Exo 9:29-30)

The Psalmist tells us that He comes to testify against

the earth, its leaders and its inhabitants; there will

be no place to hide; all will be judged by His standard--

"(A Psalm Of Asaph}God, Jehová Elohim has spoken,

and called the earth from the rising of the sun to the end

of the setting of the sun" (Ps 50:1). He will testify

in truth accepting facts and evidence. Accusations of

this Prosecutor will not be accepted as valid.

Jeremiah tells us that the whole earth will tremble--

"But Jehová Elohim is truth; He is the living God,

and the King of Eternity. At His wrath the earth

trembles, and the nations cannot withstand His

indignation" (Jer 10:10). The leaders of the nations

that would not judge truthfully will suffer severely

that wrath of God and His indignation.

Let us remember who has the holier and righteous way.

God's Name is Jehová Elohim. He is the God who puts

our feet on a highway of holiness that allows us to

enter at the narrow gate of eternal life, not the wide

broadway that leads to destruction. Lift your hands,

heart to Him for His creation and provision of the

righteous way. You can Trust Him and Praise Him

Today for a holy way and better way!
