Tues’s Devo - God is Victorious!

Read: Zechariah 12:1-13:9; Revelation 19:1-21; Psalm 147:1-20; Proverbs 31:1-7 Woe to the nations that come against Jerusalem to besiege it. God will cause their horses to panic and be blinded. Their riders will lose their nerve. The people of Judah will burn up the nations right and left while the people in Jerusalem remain safe. The people of Judah will win the victory first then it will spread to Jerusalem. The weakest will be strong like David. On that day God will begin to destroy all the nations that came against Jerusalem. Then God will pour out a spirit of grace and earnest prayers on the people and they will look upon the one they pierced, Jesus, and mourn that they didn’t accept him the first time. There will be great mourning and sorrow for their lack of faith. God will open up a fountain for his people of cleansing and restoration. Every false prophet will repent and stop falsely prophesying. Two thirds of God’s people will be cut off and a third will remain to be cleansed and purified. They will be the ones that God declares are his people. They will proclaim that He is their God. In Revelation, sin and the sinners had been judged and brought down. All heaven was rejoicing. It was time for the wedding feast of the Lamb. They were rejoicing over the war that was about to happen. John saw heaven open and a white horse was standing there. Its rider was named Faithful and True. He judges fairly and wages a righteous war. His title was the Word of God. He was followed by the armies of heaven all dressed in white linen. From his mouth came a sharp sword to strike down the nations and rule with an iron rod. He released the wrath of God. On his thigh was written King of all kings and Lord of all lords. Another angel called to the vultures to come and eat the flesh of the kings, generals and warriors of the enemy. This was the Feast of Leviathan. The beast and the kings of the world with their armies gathered to fight Jesus and his army. The beast was captured and also the false prophet. Both were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. Their army was killed by the sword that came from the mouth of Jesus. The vultures gorged themselves on the dead bodies. Lord, thank you that we are invited to the Wedding Feast instead of the Feast of Leviathan. Thank you that the weakest of us is like David who had courage to face Goliath. Help us to face the Goliath’s of our day and win. You cause us to be victorious!
