Isaiah
26:13
13 O LORD [Y@hovah] our God ['elohiym], other lords ['adown]
beside [zuwlah] thee have had dominion [ba`al] over us: but by thee only will we make mention [zakar] of thy name [shem]. KJV-Interlinear
13 O LORD our God, other lords besides you
have ruled over us, but your name alone we bring to remembrance. ESV
Leaders come and
go, but none are eternal and certainly none are deity, and none are remembered
as Christ will be remembered throughout history and forever.
History is
littered with rulers and would be rulers.
All aspire to greatness. All lack
the sovereignty and ability and resources to be great. And all have been placed
into history not by themselves, but according to the courtesy of Christ.
Likewise, all
leaders have been removed from history at the direction of Christ.
Jesus Christ
controls history and all that is in it.
Mans greatest
mistake is to presume that man has some say and control over history in
complete disregard to Gods plan.
Only a fool who
lives but a few decades would presume to have control or power greater than one
who has lived forever. Christ has of
course been around forever. He created
all things, and for Him all things were created.
Humanity is here
to serve the purpose of God, which is truth.
But unfortunately too many serve with disregard to truth, presume that
truth is what they say it is, and assume that they can write their own eternal
plan from the perspective of a very limited life.
Who will be
remembered, is Christ. No one else, when
it is all said and done, will be remembered, regardless of their role.
