NO MATTER THE DECREES AGAINST YOU…
The being with the report against me said, “these were the things written to be executed against this man.” And there were concerting voices urging that the evils be carried out. Obviously the evil decrees were not by God. The devil was responsible.
I don’t know the evil decrees waiting to be executed against your life. The good news is that you can counter all in Jesus name. Don’t explain it away. Don’t leave anything to chance. Submit to God; resist the devil and he will flee from you (James 4:7).
The scriptures have enough examples of evil and mischievous decrees for our instruction, learning and actions. The decrees where not altered were executed as designed by the devil resulting to concomitant

IRREVOCABLE LAWS OF MEDES AND PERSIA
Though the laws of Medes and Persia cannot be altered once sealed with the king’s signet yet they are subject to Divine abrogation or suspension especially where they contravene God’s purpose for His children. It is only God’s word that cannot be altered now and forever. Every other word is subject to review and amendment. God demonstrated this in the case of Mordecai versus Haman.
In the king’s palace was uneasy calm and the whole city was disquieted. Reason was that an evil and heinous decree instigated by Haman, the kings confidant, the enemy of the Jews – the people of God; has been signed into law setting out the exact day to exterminate the Jews in all the provinces of the kingdom. Though Haman found Mordecai’s defilement of his authority repugnant, the decree to wipe out the Jews was orchestrated by the devil because it was from these people that the Messiah of the whole world would come from. So if the Jews were wiped off the face of the earth then God’s promise of the Saviour through the seed of Abraham would have been eternally foreclosed. But no one can frustrate God’s purpose. No, not even the

Heaven’s Determinate Council held a conference that I tagged: “Operation Ahab Must Die.” It was God who summoned this meeting which gives us an insight into what happens in the positive Supernatural. The devil copies and counterfeits the positive Supernatural and it’s no wonder that he and his cohorts camouflage as angels of light (2 Corinthians 11:24). This meeting was not known to any man until God revealed it to Prophet Micaiah.
King Ahab led Israel into idol worship and was terribly wicked before God who summoned spiritual beings to suggest possible ways to lure Ahab to his early grave.
The scripture in Proverbs 29:1says: "He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy."
While many came up with various suggestions, one spirit came forth with a perfect suggestion to become a lying spirit in the mouths of Ahab’s prophets. It worked! Ahab had false and mercenary prophets that prophesied lies to him. On this occasion they prophesied victory as Ahab heads to war against the army of Syria. Despite disguising himself, an aimless arrow shot into the crowd hit Ahab and he died the same day. This decree was by God because Ahab persistently rebelled against God. In line with God’s word that those who run to others gods will only have their sorrows multiplied Ahab fully drank from the cup of his wickedness (Psalm
...I have killed no one yet and God grant it may be so ordered I never may” . Consequently, the views expressed in chapter 3 lead me to position it as least convincing.
In document (C) there are 2 laws that should not be laws due to the unfair reason of this law. Law 129 states that if a married lady is caught [in adultery] with another man, they shall bind them and cast them into the water. That shouldn’t be a law because one woman in Babylon are sold in auctions so they might not like their husband. Also the man they are caught with might not know she is married, that is why that law has an unfair reason. Law 195 states that if a son strikes his father, his hands shall be caught off. This is an unfair reason because hitting your father is not a big enough deal to be a law. These laws are unfair because they have unfair reasons to
It is thou, thou, that madly seekest him! (287)" Starbuck's opinion of Ahab as a madman is nearly identical to modern day people who view social reformers as being clinically insane. Due to this, Ahab is a quintessential example of

Ahab’s quest for the whale is not an honorable pursuit of God, but man’s vain endeavor in his hatred of God to destroy the all-powerful deity. The symbol of the whale as God makes sense as it is white a color that is associated not only with purity and honor but the deity of God himself. Because this whale caused him personal damage in an earlier encounter, Ahab views the whale as an “inscrutable thing”, making it his life’s quest to get revenge (335). Not only does he associate the whale with this damaging experience, he connects the deity of God with “the white whale that razeed me; made a poor pegging lubber for me forever and a day!” (334). His quest for vengeance distorts his ability to have a relationship of God as who can endure the pursuit of such a being if the pursuit is driven by enmity? Ahab’s pursuit of Moby Dick, “Be [he] agent, or be [he] principal” is driven strictly by hostility and a lack of righteousness (335). Only those who have experienced the sweetness of reconciling grace can look at the tremendous

Although Ahab’s insanity appears to be what shuts him off from humanity, in reality it is what makes him human. Ahab desperately wants to be freed from his obsession – to not have to rely upon it to feel. It is because Ahab is no longer in control of his obsession that the reader eventually discovers that besides what the book originally seems to insinuate, Ahab is only human.

Prior to open practice of Satanism, the Roman Catholic church used Satanism as a label for individuals and groups who held views or ideologies that conflicted with those of the church. This was an attempt to delegitimize their opponents and to strengthen the Church’s following. While these accusations were initially harmless and limited to heretics, they became increasingly frequent and extreme. These wild accusations spread to rumors of violent rituals claimed to be performed by Satanists which built up to widespread fear and panic. Ultimately, this would result in events like the Salem Witch Trials where innocent people were put to death due to false suspicion of individuals performing witchcraft and becoming possessed by the Devil. Ironically, while the church merely intended to bolster both its image and following with these accusations, the widespread panic that resulted put Satanism on the map, and “several scholars identify fundamentalist Christianity as one of the major influences shaping and driving the” onset of the Satanist movement (Underwager and Wakefield, 281). This sheds light on the true relationship between the conflicting belief systems of Christianity and Satanism. Although the two are at odds on even the most basic levels, their relationship is largely codependent. Christianity uses the fear surrounding Satanism and the
“…And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” (Matthew 6:9-13) As it says in the Bible, we wish to be led astray from evil. However, evil is a very curious subject. For most intensive purposes, evil can be described as cruel, heinous, and unnecessary punishment. Evil is a relatively accepted concept in the world today, although it is not completely understood. Evil is supposedly all around us, and at all times. It is more often than not associated with a figure we deem Satan. Satan is said to be a fallen angel, at one point God’s favorite. Supposedly Satan tries to spite God by influencing our choices, and therefore our lives. However, this presents a problem: The Problem of Evil. This argues against the existence of God. Can God and evil coexist?
In addition Ahab in "Moby Dick" is considered not only as an evil and sinful person but is selfish and greedy. The reason why he is sinful, evil, selfish, greedy, mainly is because he didn’t care what the other people on the ship wanted or that what he was going to do would or could bring dangers, and what he was doing was a waste of time, because instead of getting vengeance on "Moby Dick". He could be hunting whales for food and selling what’s left of them and make money.
After conquering northern Israel in 722 B.C.E., the Assyrians engendered centuries of political intrigue and laid the foundation for future unscrupulous kingdoms and idolatrous people.1 Once the Babylonian empire overthrew Josiah, the King of Judah, Habakkuk began to compose a prophetic book, questioning the ways of God. Above all, Habakkuk could not comprehend why “the evil circumvented the just”2; he thought that the impiety of the world did not correlate with a supposedly just God.3 Throughout his narrative, this biblical prophet came to understand that “the just man, because of his faith, shall live” (Hb 2,4). Eventually discovering that righteousness and faith in God lead to justice, Habakkuk cried out to the people of Judah through his prophetic words, assuring that divine intervention would eradicate the wickedness and oppression.
more than evil is capable of what seems to be good. More often in the story, God
"And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death. And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.
