       At times in watching an episode, I would think, “You know, they have a right to do things like that. They have a right to let criminals die.” And I thought that in light of this passage here. These agents (though they were fiction; they represent real agents), these agents had the right to do that since they ultimately were executing God’s judgement on individuals. This passage today tells us that God executes his judgement through the authorities. Understand that; that’s important. It means that at the moment an agent, an M:I agent, an F.B.I. agent, a C.I.A. agent, when they let bad guys die, or shoot them, whatever, they are actually executing God’s judgment. God is working through them. Now, I’m not saying that every time an official takes a life that it is from God, for we know that there have been lives taken incorrectly, without following the pre-established laws, and with wrong motive. That’s called murder.
