Read: Zechariah 12:1-13:9; Revelation 19:1-21; Psalm 147:1-20; Proverbs 31:1-7
When all the nations come against Jerusalem, she will be unmovable. It will be so powerful that the other nations will be afraid and have to confess that it is because the Lord is with her. The leaders of Judah will become the powerful ones that consume their enemies. Judah is a picture of the believers in Jesus. They will be saved first, then the people who live in Jerusalem. God will fight against all the nations who fought against Jerusalem. The Jews as a nation will have their eyes opened to see that Jesus is their Messiah and they will weep at the revelation that for years they rejected their Savior. God will cleanse them of their sins and take away the name of the idols of their land. The prophets who prophesied lies will repent or be hurt by their own families.
In Revelation, the harlot which is the Roman Catholic Church is judged. All of heaven worshipped the Lord on his throne. Then a grew multitude joined him who were the bride who was dressed in linen. These are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.
Jesus rides in on a white horse. His name is Faithful and True. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood and wearing many crowns. He has a name written on him that no-one knows but himself and a name that we do know - The Word of God. The armies of heaven follow him in white linen and out of Jesus’ mouth is a sharp sword. On his thigh is written Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Another angel orders all the birds in the second heaven to come and fight with them to eat the spoils of the war. The beast will be captured also with the false prophet and thrown into the lake of fire. The rest will be killed and the birds will eat their flesh.
Notice that we won’t have to fight this fight, God and his army will fight the war. We will be enjoying the feast of the Lamb.
Lord, your plan is awesome and beyond our imagination. Thank you for your mighty works and your grace toward your people.
