To name a few we have; Captain America, Hulk, Iron man, and Spiderman, there are about 15 avengers in the series. These are; in the comic theoretical version, the saviors of the world. The word savior within the context of todays verse means &#8220;yasa&#8221;, to save, to deliver, to avenge, to open, to wide, to free. The bible teaches us that Jesus is our savior; his names comes from Jehoshua which means Jehovah saves (Mt1:21). The bible also teaches us that God is our avenger (Ro12:19), and that he will repay to those who do us harm.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Obadiah 1:21<\/p>\n<div class=\"poetry top-05\">\n<p class=\"chapter-1\"><sup class=\"versenum\">21&nbsp;<\/sup>And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the&nbsp;<span class=\"small-caps\">Lord<\/span>&#8216;s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"\">Now the title savior or hero is not one that anyone wants to have, but no matter how much people reject the title it is what it is. God calls some saviors to come and save the kingdom. This was the dream king Nebuchadnezzar had about a great rock cut down and break the statute&nbsp; and spread throughout the world (Da2:45). Save the kingdom one might ask? Does not God protect and saves the kingdom? The scriptures says that God&#8217;s kingdom suffers violence (Mt11:12), but that the violent take it by force. Such violence as those believers in Haiti that were taken captive whose captures are asking 1k per person for their release is that latest kingdom violence noted. But, saviors take the kingdom back by force, and not stand down. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchinneed.org\/christian-persecution\/#:~:text=Christian%20Persecution%20Today%20Today%2C%20according%20to%20ACN%20research%2C,range%20of%20human%20rights%20violations%20and%20even%20murder.\">340 Million Christians<\/a> and rising around the world suffer some sort of violence today. The scriptures tells us to make every effort to enter into the kingdom at whatever cost (Lk13:24). It is what heroes or saviors do, make every effort to open the way for others to enter into the kingdom (He4:11). The kingdom is the Lord&#8217;s, but one day at the right time God will submit all kingdoms and people to Christ (Ep1:22-23).&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\">\n<div class=\"row\" style=\"padding-top: 10px;
