Spiritual Perspective
When leaders deploy power to control cities or shape narratives, it can feel like the future hinges on their success or failure. But Scripture reminds us our hope is not in human authority. “Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation” (Psalm 146:3 ESV).
Christ’s reign is unshakable, and His justice will not fail.
