PT2 ROMANS 13& GOD'S LAW vs THE DEVIL'S- THE MACCABEES

WHAT DID OUR FOREFATHERS DO IN TIME OF CONFLICTING LAWS? 1MACCABEES 1:41 Moreouer king Antiochus wrote to his whole kingdome, that all should be one people, 1:42 And euery one should leaue his lawes: so all the heathen agreed, according to the commandement of the king. 1:43 Yea many also of the Israelites consented to his religion, and sacrificed vnto idols, and prophaned the Sabbath. 1:44 For the king had sent letters by messengers vnto Ierusalem, and the cities of Iuda, that they should follow the strange lawes of the land, 1:45 And forbid burnt offerings, and sacrifice, and drinke offerings in the temple; and that they should prophane the Sabbaths, and festiuall dayes: 1:46 And pollute the Sanctuarie and holy people: 1:47 Set vp altars, and groues, and chappels of idols, and sacrifice swines flesh, and vncleane beasts: 1:49 To the end they might forget the Law, and change all the ordinances.
