DO NOT TOUCH MY ANOINTED ONES

Text: Psalm 105
27 July 2025

THE PROTECTION OF GOD

God’s protection of His people was clear and obvious. This was carefully recorded when we read the Old Testament.

13 When they went from one nation to another,
From one kingdom to another people,

14 He permitted no one to do them wrong;
Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes,

15 Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do My prophets no harm.”     Psalm 105:13-15

b) They were opposed by:
