The dragon and the
beast command with
the crack of whip and
rumble of wheel,
galloping horse and
bounding chariot;
the world has always
relied on these
to supply its needs
and its wants;
who can fight against
them?
Lord God of hosts,
our true authority--
happy is everyone who
trusts in you.
If only we strive for
your kingdom,
you will give us all
that we need.

Nahum 3:2
The crack of whip and rumble of wheel,
galloping horse and bounding chariot!
galloping horse and bounding chariot!

[The whole earth] worshiped the dragon, for he had given his
authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like
the beast, and who can fight against it?"

For it is the nations of the world that strive after all these
things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, strive for his
kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
