"Those who oppress and subjugate others will face divine justice," the Archbishop of Canterbury will warn in his Easter sermon on Sunday morning.
While it may appear that "cruel and oppressive rulers" are becoming stronger, Justin Welby will say at Canterbury Cathedral that they will ultimately "vanish".
Reflecting on the war in Ukraine and other conflicts around the world, the Archbishop will tell congregants that "we must not lose heart" in the face of conflict.
"Cruel and oppressive rulers might look as though they only get stronger," he will say.
"Yet they will vanish: the power of the resurrection is infinitely greater than they are.
"Even in our lifetimes, as we are surrounded by fears, even by evil, we know that those who oppress and subjugate others will face divine justice.
"We know with certainty that policies that cause suffering and pain will fall away.
"We can say surely: all that seeks to deny God has no future - all that shares in the risen life of Jesus is eternal."

This is because, Mr Welby will tell congregants, "true peace is no aimless daydream, but a reality offered because Christ was raised from the dead. Life triumphs over death, light over darkness".
