All along the road of human history, there have been those who have aspired to be king of the
road. There have always been those who wanted to dominate. There have been those who wanted to

Then there was Napoleon who thought he would rule the whole world. He almost had his

Nimrod organized his kingdom around a tower of Babel and God came down and brought it to great
confusion. Nebuchadnezzar decided that he would be the ruler of the world so he defied the living
God, God turned him into an animal until he acknowledged that the most high rules over the kingdoms

All through the pages of human history, both secular and sacred, there have been those who
wanted to be world ruler, king of the road. You do understand that this Bible teaches this world does
have a ruler. The Bible tells us that Sata ...
