Sovereignty: means supreme power or authority.
The soverignty of God:- the Supreme power and authority of all things.
God is Sovereing: God has the supreme power or authority.
Isaiah 45:1–7 (NKJV)
1 “Thus says the Lord to His anointed, To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held— To subdue nations before him And loose the armor of kings, To open before him the double doors, So that the gates will not be shut:
2 ‘I will go before you And make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze And cut the bars of iron.
3 I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places, That you may know that I, the Lord, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.
4 For Jacob My servant’s sake, And Israel My elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me.
5 I am the Lord, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me.
I will gird you, though you have not known Me,
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting That there is none besides Me.
I am the Lord, and there is no other;
7 I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the Lord, do all these things.’
Cyrus was the king of Persia and Medes,
He was a Gentile, he did not know nor acknoweldge the one true God.
He had come to great power, and had completely brought down to its knees the powerful Babylonian empire.
He had not known that it was the one True God who had raised him up and given dominion and the treasures of babylon into his hand.
He grew up in the religion of the persia and medes.
In their religion they believed that there were two polar opposite powers.
Light and darkness.
They believed that there was a god who had dominion over the Light and a god who had dominion over the darkness.
Under zoroastrian religion, Ormuzd created "light" and "peace," Ahriman "darkness" and "evil."
The two were eternal adversaries, engaged in an inter-ruinable contest.
IT was believed that human beings are caught up between these two forces.
Sometimes, though we may beleive in one God, we may have these type of view when it come to the question of who has dominion and authority/ control over darkness and over the light.
Some may vie that though God is one, he has dominion over the light but it is the devil who has authority and dominion over the darkness.
God wanted to set the record straight not only to Cyrus but also to those of us who may have such a concept of dominion.
God has dominion over both the light and the darkness.
In fact God is the one that has created both the Light and the darkness.
IN bible study we looked at Genesis 1:3-5 “3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night.
So the evening and the morning were the first day.”
The same God who created the day has created the Night.
The same God who created the Light has created the darkness.
I am here to tell you that God has dominion over the darkness, it is under his crontrol.
God creates peace and creates calamity (EVIL)
The hebrew word for calamity is “rah”.
Which literary means Evil.
Translated evil 442 times in KJV BIble.
This does not mean that God is darkness or is evil.
But rather he is in control of what darkness can do and cannot do in our lives.
God creates evil, does not mean that God is Evil, It means that he has the ulmate say of what Evil can do and cannot do in our life.
The implication of this understanding, That God is Sovereing over both light and darkness.
Implication number 1
God use the evil to Judge those that are evil.
King Ahab and the false prophets.
Ahab was the most wicked king in Israel,
He invited King Jehosophat to go to him to war with the syrians in Ramoth Gilead.
He accepted but insisted in inquiring the prophet of the lord.
Ahab brought 400 men and they all prophesied that they should go and they will prosper.
Then Ahab called for Micaiah the Son of imlah, an actual true prophet of the Lord.
1 Kings 22:12–23 (NKJV)
12 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it into the king’s hand.”
13 Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “Now listen, the words of the prophets with one accord encourage the king.
Please, let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak encouragement.”
14 And Micaiah said, “As the Lord lives, whatever the Lord says to me, that I will speak.”
15 Then he came to the king; and the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall we refrain?”
And he answered him, “Go and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king!”
16 So the king said to him, “How many times shall I make you swear that you tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the Lord?”
17 Then he said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd.
And the Lord said, ‘These have no master.
Let each return to his house in peace.’
”
18 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”
19 Then Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by, on His right hand and on His left.
20 And the Lord said, ‘Who will persuade Ahab to go up, that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead?
(the Judgement)’ So one spoke in this manner, and another spoke in that manner.
21 Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, and said, ‘I will persuade him.’
22 The Lord said to him, ‘In what way?’
So he said, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.
(the insrument of the judgement)’ And the Lord said, ‘You shall persuade him, and also prevail.
Go out and do so (commision by God).’
23 Therefore look!
The Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these prophets of yours, and the Lord has declared disaster against you.”
God wanted Judge Ahab, the Judgement was for him to perish in battle for his sins.
The instrument was a lying Spirit.
God is the one that commanded the lying spirit to go and lie to Ahab so he could fall in battle and die.
The modern day equivalent Judgement of God.
2 Thessalonians 2:9–12 (NKJV)
9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,
10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Delusion is basically, beleiving something to be true when it is a lie.
Delusion is deception.
The deception that is in the World is sent by God to be a judgement against told who refuse the love of the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Don’t be like Jehosophat, giving heed to this false prophets so that you may perish in the Judgement of the wicked.
God sending a Evil spirit of Conflict.
