Imagine playing Monopoly, trying to use the queen to move to whatever property you desired, without the dice. It would be absurd, right? Your opponent wouldn’t allow it because the queen has no power in the game of Monopoly. Do you realize that’s exactly what earthly power and authority are really like?

Earthly rulers like the one we will learn about today, may seem powerful within their own kingdoms, but their power is limited and doesn't extend beyond their specific context. Like chess pieces on a board are controlled by the players, Even in their own realms earthly rulers are controlled by God. They are all subject to God’s plans, purposes, and the orchestration of His sovereign plan for our redemption!
