It always amazes me that those who promise evil and destruction on others in the name of Jesus, never consider they are in the wrong and they will receive what they promise to do to others. Reminds me of Pharoah and his command to kill the male babies of the Jews. In the end he was punished by his own words of violence toward others.
On July 5, 1942 my father married my mother in St. Louis. Ten days later he shipped out to North Africa and wouldn’t return home until November of 1945.
I was born in September of the following year. Both of them kept their promises through the long years of war. Both felt it was good not to be alone in trying times, but both were physically alone just the same. But they started from a right premise and were faithful in their promises.
God honors premises and promises that follow His plan though it may take years to come to fruition.
Does God punish wrong premises and wrong promises? I think perhaps so. But I cannot pray for this to happen because broken promises always hurt more than the oath breaker. A lot of people will feel the pain. Much fewer will repent their actions that put an oath breaker in power.
Power is a dangerous thing to hand to anyone. It makes people more of what they already are.
And the pain tthose power brokers bring whether physical or spiritual will burn like fire and take a while to reveal to many that not all that glitters is gold.

Yes…”those who live by the sword….”

Even so, Lord Jesus, come.
