Kings and emperors are reduced to nothing before God and are completely subject to His sovereign power - Isaiah 40:23
The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord; directs it where ever he please - Proverbs 21:1
He controls the destinies of rulers as well as their actions:
- Nebuchadnezzar - king of Babylonian Empire / was driven insane and ate grass as cattle do for 7 years
- Alexander the Great - conquered the known world / died when he was 32 years old
- Napoleon - conquered all of Europe / died in excile
- Hitler - conquered all of Europe / died in a besieged bunker
Key Phrase: God controls the destinies of rulers as well as their actions
