All the nations hated to be ruled by the merciless Assyrians, but - TopicsExpress



          

All the nations hated to be ruled by the merciless Assyrians, but they wanted to be like Assyria--powerful, wealthy, prestigious--and they courted its friendship. In the same way, we dont like the idea of being ruled harshly, so we do what we can to stay on good terms with a powerful leader. And deep down, we would like to have that kind of power. The thought of being on top can be captivating. But power is seductive, so we should not scheme to get it or hold on to it. Those who lust after power will be powerfully destroyed, as was the mighty Assyrian Empire. (Nahum 3:19) (reference KJV Application Study Bible)
