Mon.’s Devo - In the End

Read: Zech. 14:1-21; Rev. 20:1-15; Ps. 148:1-14; Pr. 31:8-9 In the end every nation will turn against Jerusalem. God himself will defend her with an earthquake. It will be a leveling of all spiritual powers that opposed God’s people. God will smite the people that fought against Jerusalem with a plague that will eat away their flesh, their eyes and their tongue. The wealth of the heathen will be given to the righteous. Everyone that is left will be required to go to Jerusalem at the feast of Tabernacles. Those nations who refuse to come will be hit with drought. God’s temple will be cleansed and made holy. In Revelation we learn that the first resurrection will be the martyrs that died for the name of Christ. They will be judged and allowed to live with Christ a thousand years. Satan will be locked up those thousand years and let out at the end to deceive the nations and gather them to the battle of Armageddon. God will consume them with fire and cast the devil into the lake of fire. There with the beast and the false prophet will burn forever. The books will be opened and everyone throughout history will be judged. Death and hell will be cast into the lake of fire and be no more. Everyone whose name is not found in the book of life will be thrown in to the lake also. Lord, help us to keep the big picture in our hearts so that we can be your ambassadors on this earth.
