An Unholy Unity

Luke 23:12 KJV
And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

I am reminded of Luke 16:13 where Jesus says of the one who tries to serve two masters, "…either he will hate the one and love the other or else he will hold to the one and despise the other."

Christ unites the souls of people either for Him or against Him.
People who are from all sorts of backgrounds and interests find common ground and fellowship in their devotion to Jesus Christ. On the other hand, people of such divergent backgrounds as to have been enemies also often find a commonality in their opposition to Christ.

• The people of Jerusalem, from different homes and occupations joined together in calling for crucifixion of Christ.
• At the end of the seven years Tribulation Anti Christ will have no difficulty assembling an army to stand against the King of kings and Lord of lords even as He descends from heaven.

Christ brings people together either for or against. We who claim to love the Lord then ought to be united in that love. Too many others will be united against it.
