Daniel 4:35
35And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
ALL INHABITANTS of the earth, not just the elect are reputed as NOTHING. No matter how much you believe, no matter how obedient you think you are, you are as the grass to God.All men fall in death. He does according to His will in the army of heaven AND among those in the earth! WHAT IS NOT IN HIS POWER!? The clean, the unclean, for all are under authority, and ALL AUTHORITY, even satan is subjected to the will of the Most High. Truly, who CAN stay His hand? So basic common sense 101 should prevail by me stating the obvious. If God controls everything in heaven and everything in earth, and He does according to HIS WILL WITH THEM; if it is then His will that ALL men be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth, WHO CAN STAY HIS HAND!?
Palms 10:4
4The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
under the carnal mind a man's thoughts is not on God, and everyman has done this.
Isaiah 14:24
24The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
Explained in short in God's will.
