For now the LORD would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. "But now your kingdom shall not continue.

(1 Samuel 13:12-14 NKJV)

And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people." Therefore "Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you." (2 Corinthians 6:14-17 NKJV)
