Daily devotion – Armageddon
Rev 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
When Jesus returns, that is His Second Coming, it will be at a time that the Bible tells us that Jerusalem will have been invaded and there will be house to house fighting in its streets as the Antichrist seeks to make his final mark on God’s people.
When the glory of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ appears in the heavens, the soldiers fighting in the streets of Jerusalem will forget their mission to dominate God’s people and land, and they will then turn their fight to the armies of Heaven!
Rev 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
Yet their best efforts will be futile to the armies of Heaven because Jesus Christ will strike them down with the sword of His mouth – Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Rev 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
Those in opposition to Jesus and His army will all be killed, along with their horses and an angel will invite vultures to come and feed on the remains of the defeated armies. Rev 19:18.
Humanity foolishly mocks God openly and blasphemes His name and the work of His Son but there is coming a day soon when those mouths will all fall silent!
It would be wise of us who are Christ’s children to be sober in our thinking of our current worlds ‘bragging and chest beating’ for whilst God is patient He is also Holy!
Let us encourage each other in these times where we are ridiculed for our faith and not lose hope.
Jesus is coming soon!
