Why This Book Matters Now
For centuries, Romans 13 has been misunderstood to justify tyranny, papal power, and the suppression of liberty. But as this book reveals, Paul’s words were never a license for oppression—they were a declaration of freedom.
Sword Ordained of God restores the true, biblical meaning of civil authority: a power ordained by God for protection, not persecution; a sword ordained of God to defend the innocent, not to compel the conscience. Through Scripture, prophecy, and history—from Daniel and the apostles to the Waldenses, the Reformers, and the American founders—this book traces the divine limits of government and the sacred rights of conscience.
At a time when church and state once again seek to unite in the name of “moral order,” this message could not be more urgent. Every reader will be challenged to see that the final test of liberty is not political—it is spiritual.
Read this book prayerfully. It will open your eyes to the coming crisis and strengthen your resolve to “obey God rather than men.”
