John Calvin

When God wants to judge a nation, He gives them wicked rulers.
JOHN CALVIN

Cruel God Judgement Nation Rule
You cannot imagine a more certain rule or a more powerful suggestion than this, that all the blessings we enjoy are divine deposits which we have received on this condition that we distribute them to others.
