Can world leaders tell God what to do in the Middle East?
No, world leaders cannot tell God what to do in the Middle East. Though they may think they can, it will never work. Like the guards at the tomb who tried to withstand a holy Animate, people have not changed; such human efforts cannot succeed.
Les explains that the guards were set around the tomb and it was sealed, doing everything humanly possible so the disciples could not steal the body and claim He had been raised from the dead. He calls this the frustration of simple men who think they can withstand a holy Animate, and he notes that people have not changed. Likewise, world leaders today think they can tell God what to do back in the Middle East, but it will never work.
