But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
God made the world in covenant. Headship and hierarchy are infused into the way the world is and should be. It is not a bug to be worked out or a consequence of the Fall, but a design feature and divine fingerprint of its Creator.
A consequence of the Fall is that enmity was placed by God between the seed of Eve and the seed of the serpent. Those in league with Lucifer have never cared for hierarchy because it guarantees that they can't have the wheel. Satan fell because playing second fiddle offended him. His plan was to reign away from God rather than serve in His presence. But what Satan soon discovered is that there is no world where you get to rule your own roost. All the roosts are already trade-marked. Hell is not Satan's booby prize, it is his prison and those who attempt to remake the world in their own image follow his demonic footsteps in demolishing their only hope for peace and comfort. The only place any reign is in submission to the Patriarch of patriarchs.
Revelation 5:10
You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.
Just in case there was any confusion as to what the world's plan was, the UN just came right out and said it,
In other words, "The world and the way God designed it doesn't sit right with us and so it must be rebuilt... That's why we must burn it to the ground and feel completely justified in doing so. For our great love of the world, we light it on fire. We're here to help. You're welcome."
The pledge of allegiance of the United States of America as it appears on the book declares, "One nation, under God." The UN, however, desires, "All nations out from under God," and the DNC tipped their hand in that direction a few weeks back when they removed the words "under God" from their allegiance. Now I don't need to find my shocked face to find out that the UN and the DNC don't declare themselves subject of the King, but it does come off as a new level of boldness to wear it so baldly. It's admittedly a more honest approach, but it's still a bad look. But you can't circle the wagons in a corner forever. At some point, you need to come clean and rally around what really excites you.
This is merely a Psalm 2 sneak preview. The trailer is short, but to the point. I hear they went all out. But I've also heard, spoiler alert, that there is VERY unexpected ending.
Psalm 2:1-6
Why do the heathen rage,
and the people imagine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
Let us break their bands asunder,
and cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:
the Lord shall have them in derision.
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath,
and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion
