To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the exer- 20 cise of this sovereign power governments declare war and require those who owe them allegiance to fight their battles. It is the duty of citizens and subjects, to obey. God will hold those to ac- count who ignorantly or intentionally improper- ly or wrongfully exercise this power, as he has in the case of Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, Saul, Herod, Caesar, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, and as He will the Kaiser. The ruins of their realms are temporal marks of divine reckoning for ...misused and abused sovereign power. The individual soldier in obeying his coun- try's call to arms bears no responsibility for his acts, as a soldier, in obedience to the command of a superior officer, for even Christ, as a man, must needs have been as a man ^ ^ subject unto the higher powers," as he testifies. But the soldier's identity is never so submerged in the military mass that he loses personal accountability to God. He must therefore be able to obey the official command to ^'fire" at the heart of the enemy, and at the same time obey the Lord's command: **Love your enemies." In obeying the com- mand, ^'Fire," he is respecting the divine pre- cept: ^^Let every soul be subject to higher pow- ers." In the act of firing, the responsibility for that act and its consequences rest upon the high- er powers — Presidents, Kings, Kaisers, Congress, Parliaments and Reichstags, nor is individual responsibility to God lost in the representative relationship of these ^^ powers that be." But the 21 command: ^^Love your enemies,'' is essentially personal and binding even in battle upon every soldier.
