Sun.’s Devo - The Final Battle

Read: Zecharaiah 12:1-13:9; Rev. 19:1-21; Ps. 147:1-20; Pr. 31:1-17 God blinded the eyes of the Jewish people because of their rebellion but Zechariah prophesies of a day when God will take the blinders off and they will come to believe in Jesus as their Messiah. In that day God will pour grace and repentance on his people. The people will put away their idols and false teachings and call the Lord their God and He will call them His people. Revelation gives us heaven’s perspective of Zechariah’s prophesy. Babylon, the false church has been judged and the bride is presented. Many believers are called to the married supper but only the overcomes are the bride. All are blessed. Jesus comes forth on a white horse to wage war on the bride’s enemies. Flying fowls were summoned to eat the flesh of the people who opposed God. This was their supper which is called the feast of Leviathan. The beast and the false prophet will be thrown into the lake of fire. The rest were killed with Jesus’ sword which is the Word of God and eaten by the fowls. The enemies of God and us are spiritual principalities and demons which only the Word can conquer. But they will all come down with death being the last to fall. We should never be afraid of what the devil has in his arsenal because what we have been given is so much more powerful. We defeat him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. The Word of God is our sword. Lord, teach us to wield our sword and defeat your enemies.
