End Times Firestorm Battle II

In the World's End Times Battle, God uses a Firestorm Attack and His Invincible Weapon to Destroy the Kingdom of Evil.

Michael the Archangel by Luca Giordano, 1663.

One night I worried about all the women and children, even men, who are abused in the worldwide sex trade and other forms of horrible persecution. It seems so grossly unfair. I prayed for them. Early in the morning, the Holy Spirit spoke back to me about the justice of God the Father. “I will devour all those who devour others.”

To Rid the Kingdom of Evil

The End Times Battle between Good and Evil must take place. The ultimate strongholds must be overcome. God would not fail to conquer the kingdoms of evil. The societies of Satan that pit destruction against creation, death vs. life, hate vs. love, Antichrist vs. Messiah, lust vs. holiness, evil vs. good, will be annihilated.

The War will fight between ultimate evil and ultimate good, between darkness and light, between those who do good for God and evil for Satan. In Heaven, the martyrs are waiting for the justice of God. (The scriptures are New King James Version.)

Rev 6:9-11 NKJ.
v10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

God's Wrath Against Sin

God is angry at the wicked who intentionally sin upon the Earth. Led by the Messiah King, God's wrath will flow in a Great Battle to rid the World of sin.
Rev 19:15.
Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the wine press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

The Messiah King gathers a Great Army to attack evil.
Isa 13: 3-9.
I have commanded My sanctified ones; I have also called My mighty ones for My anger—Those who rejoice in My exaltation.” 4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, Like that of many people! A tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together! The LORD of hosts musters The army for battle.

The Firestorm Attack

The Book of Psalms reports the army will firestorm in battle attack upon evil.
Ps 50:3-4.
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent;
A fire shall devour before Him,
And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.

The Prophet Joel reports the same mode of attack. Devastation will clean like a firestorm as the Great Army moves forward. Before it may be a garden, but behind it will remain a wasteland. From this, God will create a New Earth.
Joel 2:3.
A fire devours before them,
And behind them a flame burns;
The land is like the Garden of Eden before them,
And behind them a desolate wilderness;
Surely nothing shall escape them.

God's Invincible Weapon

Joel 2:8-11 Messiah's Army marches forward. Like  victorious armies always sought, God has an invincible weapon, the army has glorified bodies that can not be destroyed.
They do not push one another;
Every one marches in his own column.
Though they lunge between the weapons,
They are not cut down.
9 They run to and fro in the city,
They run on the wall;
They climb into the houses,
They enter at the windows like a thief. 
10 The earth quakes before them,
The heavens tremble;
The sun and moon grow dark,
And the stars diminish their brightness. 
11 The LORD gives voice before His army,
For His camp is very great;
For strong is the One who executes His word.
For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible;
Who can endure it?

Rapture for End Times Battle

Jesus is Coming Again. What to Understand About the Rapture.
                                           

“Come Lord Jesus, Come!”

(Photo by Bill Hunt c. 2011)

Early one morning in the twilight moments as the Spirit wants to speak, I knew there is going to be a Rapture, a Battle, and a Feast. I could see his words in my spirit.

As we consider the Rapture, there are many who do not want to believe such. If so, just cut out these verses with your scripture scissors. Read the complete scriptures (all New King James Version), not given here due to space limitations.

Many times I've seen the vision or dream of Jesus on a magnificent snorting white charger, the horse eagerly quaking for the Great Battle to come. The Messiah King excitedly beckons, “Come on, get on! We are going!” He hands me a flashing sharp sword and the reins to my own charger. On his robe is written visibly, King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Rev 19:16).

God, the Messiah King, is coming.

Psalms indicates the coming of a battle using the term “a fire”. We will see this term again.

Ps 50:3-4 NKJ: Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent;
A fire shall devour before Him,
And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him....

Zechariah the Prophet supports that Day will be a day of darkness as a day of tribulation.

Zech 14:5-9: Thus the LORD my God will come, And all the saints with You. 6 It shall come to pass in that day That there will be no light....

He will come! The Middle East Nations are lining up as listed in our recent post: Midian, Arabia, Moab, Yemen, Edom, Bozrah, Seir, Ammon, Assyria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Sudan, Somalia, and others.

God's people will be taken and others not, explains Jesus.

Matt 24:39-44: So also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left....

The Lord is gathering a Great Army.

The Prophet Isaiah tells us the Lord of Hosts will come on the Day of the Lord with his people, his army for battle, to rid the land of sinners.

Isa 13:2-9: I have commanded My sanctified ones; I have also called My mighty ones for My anger— Those who rejoice in My exaltation. 4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, Like that of many people! A tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together! The LORD of hosts musters The army for battle....

Jesus forewarned his disciples, the sons of the kingdom will be separated from the sons of the evil one.

Matt 13:37-40: He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one....

The Day of the Lord will begin with a loud trumpet blast , sounding throughout the heavens. Throughout the Earth God's people will be gathered.

Matt 24:31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other....

With Glorified Bodies.

We will immediately change to glorified bodies, relates the Apostle Paul. Our glorified bodies will be like the body of Jesus after the Resurrection. It's physical, Mary hugged him outside the tomb. Yet, it's spiritual, he passed through the locked doors to the upper room, yet the disciples could touch his sacred wounds. His identity was as at first hidden from the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, but later he ate with them. On the beach, he started a fire and cooked breakfast for the apostles, and he walked with them.

1 Cor 15:51-55: Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality....

The word “rapture” is not used in other than a derivation of the Latin Scripture. Rather the Hebrew word means “caught up”. The people of God will be “caught up” in preparation for the coming battle and feast.

1 Thess 4:16-17 NKJ: For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. (All scriptures from the New King James Version.)

Ticket to Heaven, Forgive!

But the world, the flesh, and the devil don't forgive sins and they don't forget sins. In this, there is real danger.

“Every heart needs godly repentance, forgiveness,

and love. It's the narrow road we seek....”

(Woman's Portrait cc. Petras Gagilas)

“God forgives perfectly and God forgets perfectly.” I like to tell this to my friends who confess they are bothered by the guilt of past sins. But the world, the flesh, and the devil don't forgive sins and they don't forget sins. In this, there is real danger.

Daily, we see politicians, the establishment, the world, the media, government, business, even the church, seek out the sins or alleged sins of a target to proclaim--for excitement, sexual intrigue, or character assassination. No matter, how true or false. No matter the details. No matter how deep in the past. No matter how previously resolved, or forgiven, or paid for. No matter the consequences.

It's too easy a task to condemn others!

For there is none sinless. No, not one. And it's just as much fun to go into a feeding frenzy over someone else's sins, be they true or totally contrived.

“If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and and the truth is not in us,” says John the Apostle (1 John 1:8 NIV). Have you ever met some goodly persons who claim to be without sin? There's nothing more nauseating.

God has a reply for the contrite.

“I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite” (Isaiah 57:15 NIV).

Jesus told us about the tax collector who prayed beating his breast, “God, have mercy on me, a sinner” (Luke 18:13 NIV).

Forgiveness demands repentance.

Think of the repentance of King David, (politician) who committed adultery and murder, (2 Sam 12); the sinful woman (unwed mother) who washed and kissed the feet of Jesus in repentance (Luke 7); the woman (harlot) taken in adultery, about to be stoned (John 8); the last minute thief (criminal) on the cross who accepted Jesus (Luke 23).

Think of the denial of Peter (church leader) (Matt 26); of Paul (evangelist), guilty for the persecution, arrest, and death of the early Christians (Acts 8:3, ch 9, 22:4, 26:10). All these are forgiven.

Those who accuse falsely or even seek out the resolved sins of others are guilty of slander. People create their own slander, and they believe their own slander they create.

God has a reply for slander.

“Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Cor 6:9-10 NIV).

Jesus warns us to forgive.

Jesus wants us to look on others with the same love as he looks on us. The same love, that we want for ourselves.

“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins” (Matt 6:14-15 NIV).

It is a serious mistake with eternal consequences not to forgive others with the love of Jesus. There's no one in Heaven who bears a grudge!
