"For this purpose the Son of God was made manifest, namely, to break up the works of the Devil."
"For we have a wrestling, not against blood and flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the wicked spirit forces in the high places."
"God blotted out the handwritten document against us . . which consisted of decrees . . and which was in opposition to us. And He has taken it out the way by nailing it to the torture stake. Stripping governments and authorities bare . . He exhibited them in open public as conquered."
"Next, the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power."
"So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him."
"By far the most numerous and most flagrant violations of personal liberty and individual rights are performed by governments.
The major crimes throughout history, the ones executed on the largest scale, have been committed not by individuals or bands of individuals but by governments, as a deliberate policy of those governments. . that is, by the official representatives of governments, acting in their official capacity."
John Hospers
"Government is an evil; it is only the thoughtlessness and vices of men that make it a necessary evil. When all men are good and wise, government will of itself decay."
Percy Shelley
"The law was made for one thing alone, for the exploitation of those who don't understand it, or are prevented by naked misery from obeying it."

For his part, the God who gives peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly.
Romans 16:20
"Then God said to Satan: "Just where do you come from?"
At that Satan answered God and said: "From roving about in the earth and from walking about in it."
Job 2:2
"Against the shepherds my anger has grown hot, and against the goat-like leaders I shall hold an accounting: for God has turned his attention to his drove.
Even the pit underneath has become agitated at you in order to meet you on coming in. At you it has awakened those impotent in death, all the goat-like leaders of the earth.
It has made all the kings of the nations get up from their thrones. All of them speak up and say to you,`Have you yourself also been made weak like us? Is it to us that you have been made comparable? Down to the pit your pride has been brought. Beneath you, maggots are spread out as a couch and worms are your covering."
Zechariah 10:3 & Isaiah 14:9

"There is a sound of uproar out of the city, A SOUND OUT OF THE TEMPLE! It is the sound of God repaying what is deserved to his ENEMIES."
Isaiah 6:66
"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666"
