Sometimes there is a 'but' to Bible Verses.

Nebuchadrezzar, a fierce tyranical despot is called G-ds servant, because he destroyed Judah and Jerusalem.

The Jews had not obeyed G-ds laws and not kept His Sabaths for 490 years, so He sent them into captivity for 70 years. That is 490 years worth of Sabaths in one chunk.

In the United states we are not SUPPOSED to be RULED. We are not supposed to have a TYRANICAL DESPOT as our President. We have a constitution that LIMITS his powers and the powers of the Senate, House and Courts.

No where in the Constitution does it give government the right to tell you to do anything.

Some here seem to believe that if the President tells them to wear a mask, tale a jab or tick their head in the toilet they must obey.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Spiritual wickedness that we all have and what people in control tend to use on others.

Acts 5:29, “Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.””

Acts 4 -10 -20

So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin and then conferred together. 16 “What are we going to do with these men?” they asked. “Everyone living in Jerusalem knows they have performed a notable sign, and we cannot deny it. 17 But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name.”

18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges! 20 As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

Not personally but he sure did feel Jesus's presence in a not good way at the start.

Yes, we're very aware that you treat the Bible as an inconsistent pick-and-choose buffet.

He said to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's.

Think about that single coin that was basically a penny that was involved in that point. . .kind of Him telling Caesar what was his.

In the KJB the word penny usually denotes a days wage.
