An Example Where The Flatteries Of The People Led To Divine Judgment From God :
(Acts 12:21 KJV)
"And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne,
and made an oration unto them."
(Acts 12:22 KJV)
"And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man."
(Acts 12:23 KJV)
"And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory:
and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost."
Anti-Christ Politician Will Use Flatteries In Order To Obtain Power :
(Daniel 11:21 KJV)
"And in his estate shall stand up a vile person,
to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom:
but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries."
(Daniel 11:32 KJV)
"And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries:
but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits."
(Daniel 11:34 KJV)
"Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help:
but many shall cleave to them with flatteries."
Flatteries Are Wrong Because They Encourage People To Be Prideful.
If We Are Prideful, We Think We Are Somehow "Better Than" Others.
This Promotes A Belief In Human INequality.
(1 Corinthians 4:7 KJV)
"For who maketh thee to differ from another?
and what hast thou that thou didst not receive?
now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory [ boast ], as if thou hadst not received it?"
