"This is the purpose that is purposed concerning the whole earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations. For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?"
-Isaiah 14: 26-27
The absolute sovereignty is a truth which men find hard to swallow. Certainly any unbeliever will reject it. Yet, even the majority of believers is compelled by the Adamic nature to hold fast to some element of human autonomy, that very temptation that Satan offered to Adam and Eve. The believer professes to be a sinner, but claims a right of free will over the eternal purposes of God.
However, consider the verses quoted above. Who is sovereign? God or man? Who is subject to a veto? God or man? Unquestionable, the prophet tells us that the decree of God is founded on certainly, and cannot be overturned, even by the rebellion of men.
