And when you shall see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, and then know that its desolation is near.
Luke 21:20
We are living in the end days of Grace period. We are eagerly waiting for the second coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Zechariah says, “For I will gather all nations to battle against Jerusalem. The city shall be taken, The houses rifled, and the women ravished. Half of the city shall go in to captivity, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations. (Zec 14:2,3)
AS THE MOUNTAINS SURROUND JERUSALEM, SO THE LORD SURROUNDS HIS PEOPLE FROM THE TIME FORTH AND FOREVER,
(PS 125:2)
Though the enemy’s army was surrounding to battle against Jerusalem and the end was near for Jerusalem, the Lord of Host was surrounding them. The Lord shall never forsake His people.He will fight for them and protect them as a mighty warrior.
Few years back, I was getting ready to proclaim the Good news of Gospel and conduct worship for students in a Nursing College in Trichy. I was getting down from my house with few bibles in my hand. Suddenly, I felt someone was pushing me down. Without my knowledge, I fell down on the ground upside down from the staircases.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a beautiful sight, Bibles which fell down from my hands, were kept on the steps one on each step of the staircase. I felt as though someone was holding my head and was carrying me. There was not even a single injury in my body or to my bones. In fact there was all possibility of a head injury or multiple bone fractures. It is God who had sent His Angels to protect me to save my life.
Praise the Lord. It’s obvious that the Spirit of the Lord will lift up as standard against enemy who comes like a flood (Is 59:19)
Beloved solder & readers! Do not worry or fear about the enemies around you and fighting against you. The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them. (Ps 34:7)
“And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” (Mat 24:6-8)
Famines, pestilences, and earthquakes what we see today declares that the Second Coming of our Lord is very soon.
Dear Solders! Are you ready to meet the Bridegroom with our Lamps with lights of our testimony and the oil of the anointing of the Holy Spirit? Shall we prepare ourselves and prepare others to meet our King of Kings.
Dear Loving Heavenly Father, We thank you for surrounding and protecting us as a Lord of Hosts. Through the prophetic scriptures in the Bible and incidents which are happening in the world today, we realize that we are in the end days and you are standing at the door to meet the Bride. Prepare us for your second coming and anoint us to prepare thousands to meet you in the mid Sky. In the Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
