“Now when there arose a great dissension, the commander, fearing lest Paul might be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.” Acts 23:10

The dissension in the two-party congress of the Sanhedrin became so great that the Roman commander feared that Paul would be pulled apart by them. The division arose from Paul affirming his belief in the resurrection from the dead. That division is described in the previous post on Acts 23:6-9.

The Romans, like the governing authorities of today’s culture, do not tolerate disturbances within their community. Because the will of the masses of people dominates over truth and justice, Christians will always be the few who suffer at the hands of the majority. “Because of transgression, an army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices; and he cast truth down to the ground…” Daniel 8:12 The transgression is the denial of God, the rejection of Jesus Christ, and the oppression of the presence of the Holy Spirit. Because of that, the army of the global population has been given over to the “horn”, which is the atheistic entity that has power over physiology to give people what to speak, do, think, and feel. The masses of the global population are empowered to oppose the Gospel of Jesus Christ and all of the followers of Jesus. Click here for a post on Daniel 8:1-14.

“…be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men.” Titus 3:1-2

The Roman commander sent his Roman soldiers to take Paul by force from amidst the riled-up congress of the Sanhedrin, and to place him in the barracks. Today’s governing “police” has removed by force the Gospel of Jesus Christ from amidst the two-party system of the United States congress. There was no debate on the floor of the congress, no vote, or anything else concerning the removal of the Gospel of Christ. It was just removed, by force, no national debate. Today, the government lawmakers do not integrate the values of the Bible into their laws and policies. Many members no longer choose to be sworn into congressional office using the Holy Bible.

Imagine what type of situation would have occurred if there was a vote on whether or not to keep America a Christian nation. The demand from the general population to eliminate Christianity would have been so powerful that the governing “police” would have feared for the safety of the meek, gentle, and peaceful Christians everywhere. Instead, we have been brought into “barracks” away from mainstream society, a sort of isolation within our own living quarters. Christianity is quietly brought to extinction. Today’s atheistic culture wants to avoid all appearances that make them look like persecutors of Jesus Christ and of being the fulfillment of prophecy as the government of the beast.

“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, lie, and say all kinds of evil things about you because of me. Rejoice and be glad because you have a great reward in heaven! The prophets who lived before you were persecuted in these ways.” Matthew 5:11-12 Click here for the whole scripture passage from Matthew 5:1-12.

‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
