WHO COULD D BIBLE AGAINST IN THIS ELECTION.
Could the Bible be against APC?
Proverb 24:21:::::::
MY SON FEAR THE KING AND MINGLE NOT
WITH THEM THAT SAY ”CHANGE” FOR
THEIR CALAMITY COMES QUICKLY.
Or Could the Bible be against JONATHAN
Jeremiah 38vs26 says:
“Then thou shalt say unto them,
I presented my supplication before the king,
that he would not cause me to return to
"Jonathan's" house, to die there”

Now who is d Bible really against?

Self deception tells you that the wind of change would not blow. You lie to yourself that the whole change mantra is a phantom. You remain transfixed, mouth wide opened as you watch GEJ openly accept defeat then get mailed back to kirikiri via Otuoeke. Everything will happen peacefully and quietly
