All earthly powers are under the control of the Infinite One. To the mightiest ruler, to the most cruel oppressor, He says, "Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further." Job 38:11. God's power is constantly exercised to counteract the agencies of evil; He is ever at work among men, not for their destruction, but for their correction and preservation.

Alle magter på Jorden står under den Almægtiges kontrol. Herren siger til den mægtigste hersker og den mest grusomme undertrykker: "Hertil og ikke længer!" Job. 38, 11. Gud arbejder ustandselig for at modarbejde det onde. Han arbejder til stadighed blandt menneskene ikke for at gøre dem fortræd, men for at rette deres fejl og redde dem.
