Anton Bosch discusses the misconception of nations claiming to be 'Christian nations' throughout history, emphasizing that merely bearing the name 'Christian' does not make a nation or an individual godly.

Thomas Reade preaches on the necessity of agreement for communion, emphasizing the importance of like-mindedness and disposition for true fellowship.

Nee illustrates this with examples from history and personal experience, showing how institutions founded on Christian principles can drift into worldly standards once divine influence wanes.

He stresses that acknowledging the injustices inflicted by the enemy is crucial for achieving victory and that believers must adopt a resolute stance against oppression. Ultimately, he encourages a pursuit of vengeance against the malice of Satan, affirming that he has no right to afflict God's people.
