I think she frightens them. They see her as a threat to their importance as king-makers, just as the Democrats see her as a threat to their twisted ideology. It just makes me like her even more.
We can’t leave out the “cosmic battle” aspect of this, either.
Those who despise her are reacting to the “fragrance of the knowledge of God” which is death to those who are dying.
(2 Cor 2:14-16)
