Legal & Wikipedia:
The Line of Demarcation was a longitude, moved slightly from the line drawn by Pope Alexander VI to divide new lands claimed by Portugal from those of Spain. This line was drawn in 1493 after Christopher Columbus returned from his maiden voyage to the Americas. Territorial disputes between the two seafaring nations led the Pope to adjudicate in the hope that this would lead to peace between the two powers. It allocated territory as between Spain and Portugal, excepting only those areas already ruled by a Christian monarch or power; the interests of the people then inhabiting the affected lands were not otherwise taken into account.
As such, the Pope's arbitaration could be considered as laying the legal and political foundation for countless other international documents drawn over the next four and a half centuries, based on the implicit or explicit assumption that European powers had the right to divide the rest of the world among themselves without regard to the wishes and aspirations of the peoples living there - an assumption still taken for granted in the Nineteenth Century (for example, in the partition of Africa between colonial powers in the Congress of Berlin) and only gradually coming into question during the Twentieth Century. Thus, Alexander VI can be considered to have laid an important cornerstone in the legal foundation of Colonialism.
I heard the Lord say “ congruent lines of demarcation” and looked up the above, and listened for what He might say…

Those in secret circles of influence have drawn congruent lines of demarcation between governmental powers in the world and in the church in order to rationalize and implement draconian measures to assure the annhilation of all opposition to their plans.  But I tell you their plans though some may succeed for a time, will be annihilated by My plans.

I want you beloveds to read Psalm 149 slowly and deliberately and see that I have ordained you to speak – to prophesy to nations and rulers within the scope of MY KINGDOM.  You are to execute My vengeance on the nations and punishment on the heathen. You are to destroy strongholds of the enemy over areas, over land and peoples. YOU are called to prophesy the WORD to the demon rulers, and to pray MY WILL upon the systems of this world. I have seated you in heavenly places with ME.  You can only do this, if you ABIDE in ME.

You will only have authority over what I give you authority over. I AM the KING of Kings and the LORD of Lords !  It is I Whose throne is in the heavens and whose footstool is the earth.  It is I Who alone knows the time and the seasons for war and for peace.  I AM GOD, and there is no other.
I have not made you gods in the same sense that others use that term.  But I have made you AS gods to the false rulers and authorities of this earth, the demonic hordes that try to make you think their power is greater than Mine.

High praise is praise that is in conjunction with heavenly praise at this moment in time. It is orchestrated by the Holy Spirit. The two edged sword is the sword of My WORD.  It divides between bone and marrow, between good and bad, between believer and unbeliever, between heart and mind, between will and conscience. I AM is a great Divider.  The SWORD brings division. The Word will drive people to Me, or drive people away from Me.
Sometimes people walk away as if they didn’t want to hear it, but inside their mind, I’m working on their conscience, that you had no idea that I pricked when you spoke My Word. 

PSALM 149 NKJV    Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song, And His praise in the assembly of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 3 Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp. 4 For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. 
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing aloud on their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand,
7 To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute on them the written judgment — This honor have all His saints.  Praise the Lord!  Let All Things Praise the Lord

My WORD never returns void. My WORD is a sword that will extinguish the false fires of the enemy, and light the true fire of My love and power. Men will tremble at My Word.  They tremble not now, unless they have My Spirit, but the days are upon you when you will see great power manifest when you speak My Word.  I will set your tongues aflame with My WORD, and as you speak, it will BECOME !  This is why YOU MUST TAME YOUR TONGUES.
For if you use this authority to mame your brother or sister, it will fall on you in same manner.

A two edged sword can cut either direction. It can cut to bring good, it can cut to destroy bad, it will DIVIDE.  IT WILL make you able to distinguish the true heart of a man or woman, boy or girl when you speak it. Their reaction will illuminate your understanding.  But it is not meant to destroy anything but wickedness, and if you become wicked in your use of it, it will swing back in your direction to remove the wickedness in you.
You might not like the resulting pain and suffering if you willfully inflict it on others by defaming, slandering and defiling another.

When an unbeliever hears the Words of righteousness, and considers it in his heart and mind, he responds in agreement or disagreement.  In the days ahead you are going to be surprised at the ones who will agree when you thought they were beyond salvation. You may think their hearts are too far gone and cold right now. But I am the one Who knows what is in the heart of  a man.  So you must come to ME to ask.  Come to me and get MY OPINION.
For I am a JUST GOD, and I am FULL of righteousness, but you are not yet
Full of My righteousness except by MY blood by positioning yourself IN ME.

I have promised you more and I am coming with MORE of My presence in your life. I will ILLUMINATE your soul, and sanctify My temple with MY GLORY once again.  Will you RECEIVE what I have to give to you ? Will you open your heart to receive, or will you resist My HOLY SPIRIT ?   If it’s not how YOU think you should experience it, will you reject it as evil ?  Will you rebuke the LORD OF GLORY or receive what I have to give to you ?  I am not a man that I should lie, nor a son of man that I should change My mind.
I have declared My glory is coming and it WILL cleanse My threshing floor.

I will break every chain that has encumbered you. You only have to receive the truth that I will impart to you.  Scoffers abound. But scoffers should not be in the church of JESUS CHRIST !  Remember what I said to Corazin?
Remember what I said about such cities, and how I rebuked them, for if I had gone to Tyre and Sidon, and done the miracles I did, they would have repented.  And so it shall be in this hour in many places.  For the hearts of many have grown cold and faithless.  But once again, I am pouring out from on high, that all those who will come can receive the fullness of what I have to give in order to reap the coming Harvest of souls, and to endure the time
to come.

I AM LIFE. I AM the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE. All that is life comes from ME. EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT comes down from the Father of Lights.  EVERY GOOD and perfect gift comes from ME.  Anything that is not good, is not perfect, is not healing to your soul, does not come from ME.
Like a good father, I encourage My sons and daughters. Like a good earthly Father, I give GOOD gifts to My children.  But the gift that is perverted, that is twisted into something to exalt man or the ENEMY, that is not from Me.
James 1:17-18 NKJV  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

I did not come to exalt man. I came to free him from self exultation.  I came to set an example of humility, of kindness, of peace, of love and joy. I AM the LIGHT of the World, and NO MAN comes to the Father, except through ME.  So take in the TRUTH of My WORD, and do not be deceived by the lies and perversions of truth that are in the world and in the church that has gone a whoring after other gods. CLING TO ME.  ABIDE IN ME and I will abide in you.  Flee from corruption and liars, and all false authorities, who make themselves to be something they are not.

Gal 6:3-5 AMP   For if any person thinks himself to be somebody [too important to condescend to shoulder another's load] when he is nobody [of superiority except in his own estimation], he deceives and deludes and cheats himself.  
4 But let every person carefully scrutinize and examine and test his own conduct and his own work. He can then have the personal satisfaction and joy of doing something commendable [in itself alone] without [resorting to] boastful comparison with his neighbor.
5 For every person will have to bear ( be equal to understanding and calmly receive) his own [little] load[of oppressive faults].

For I tell you the truth, that they will drag you into courts of their church like the inquisition and they will tear and gnaw at you with their accusations and they will think they are doing ME a favor by doing so.  But I will give you what to say. In NO WAY be terrified of them, for it will be perdition to them.  I am doing a new thing in this hour.  I assure you that those confident in their flesh will reap a just reward.  For all who make you a prey, I WILL MAKE them a prey !  Remember the boys who laughed and mocked Isaiah ?
And those who think they have the perfect torture or end for my beloveds will be surprised at the protection of My Holy ones, whom I will empower as I did John the beloved.

I tell you, DO NOT FEAR man.  Fear HIM who has the power to destroy both soul and body in hell.  Do not make the things of this earth your treasure. MAKE ME your treasure as I treasure you.  Return to your FIRST LOVE.  Turn back to the things you once did beloveds. For these will be days of wine and roses – wine of the lees, and the sweet fragrance of the Holy One in your midst.

Zech 2:10-11 NKJV  "Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst," says the Lord. 11 "Many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall become My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you.
