Acts 4:25-28
4:25 who said by the Holy Spirit through
your servant David our forefather,
‘Why do the nations rage,
and the peoples plot foolish things?
4:26 The kings of the earth stood together,
and the rulers assembled together,
against the Lord and against his Christ.’
4:27 “For indeed both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, assembled together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,
4:28 to do as much as your power and your plan had decided beforehand would happen.
Revelation 17:17
17:17 For God has put into their minds
to carry out his purpose
by making
a decision
to give their royal power
to the beast until the words of God are fulfilled.
