Vindicated

So just as Adonijah sought to overthrow Solomon’s throne by acquiring his father’s concubine, so, too, have those who seized power stolen what was not theirs to rightfully claim, as I did not choose them to be leaders over this nation.

Then because it is true that I am the One who raises up kings and rulers into positions of authority, those chosen are divinely appointed and ordained to their position. Yet when a man purposes in his heart to blatantly ignore My will, then I shall revoke his standing among men.

And while Solomon finally brought a swift end to Adonijah’s life, I shall bring retribution upon these who have thought so little of coming against Me. They will soon know the full extent of My rebuke when even those from their own party turn their backs, leaving these leaders to face Me alone.

Then indeed My own shall be vindicated. Those who have remained faithful to Me shall surely reap the benefits of this decision, for I reward those who diligently seek Me, as the Author and Finisher of their faith.

Oh, how swiftly My hand shall move. Like a blaze I will cleanse this nation of the wickedness that has been done in My sight, for those who are now proclaiming themselves as rulers have done so at their own peril. Know that any who have openly challenged My Sovereignty shall not stand for long.

Then let it not be said that I did not warn this rebellious lot of the repercussions for taking this profane action, For just as a bolt of lightning suddenly strikes the earth, so it shall be with each of these who have defied My will for this nation.
