Those Who Think They Are Powers Does it sound like this is playing itself out on our cabal? Those who think they are the ‘powers that be’ are not. They’re simply people who have grabbed on to what is God’s and are trying to use it to their advantage. These characters are only actors. They are acting out the role of God. This is only a substandard attempt. God will let them run until they run far out onto the limb he has them running on. This play acting works only for a season, or possibly a few seasons, or how ever much time it takes for them to run out to the limb's weakest point.  When God is ready to take back what is His, the limb will break and the actor(s) will fall. The power siege will end and the power play actors will be weeping as they fall wondered what happened to their power plan. God is always in control no matter how convincing the play actor may be.
