“Threats are wrong.”
Governments rule via threats until citizens decide that those threats have become insufferable. Then the government gets threats thrown back at them. It’s the nature of society.
It’s the nature of worldliness, and God lets it operate to a point, but it can’t go on forever. The threats of man must yield to the fear of God. If we fear God then we then have the right (before God) to admonish others to fear God in turn. And because we have this right before God, as judge He sustains it in His courtrooms. We will actually see it happen on earth, to put it in plain language.
