Mon.’s Devo - Judgement on Evil

Read: Zechariah 9:1-17; Revelation 17:1-18; Psalm 145:1-21; Proverbs 30:32 Today is a ‘today’ word. The eyes of humanity are on the Lord like I have never seen them before. Anyone who has a clue about what is going on right now in the world is saying that God is our only hope… along with the military. All of their ‘deep state’ leaders were coming down. Evil cites of Hamath, Tyre, Sidon, Ashkelon, Gaza, Ashdod, and Ekron were going to be destroyed. Any survivors would come to Judah and worship the Lord. God told the people of Zion to rejoice their king was coming to them who was righteous and victorious. He would be humble and riding on a donkey. What a contrast to their battle chariots and warhorses. All weapons of destruction would be replaced with peace. The Lord will appear above his people and sound the ram’s horn and attack like a whirlwind. The Lord of Heaven’s Armies will protect his people and defeat their enemies. He will rescue his people and they will sparkle like jewels in God’s land. In Revelation, one of the angels who had poured out his bowl came over and got John to follow him. He was taking John to the judgment of the great prostitute who ruled over many. She was a spirit over a city who had enticed many in the world to commit adultery with her against the Lord. John was taken into the wilderness were a woman sat on a scarlet best that had seven heads, ten horns and blasphemies against God were written all over the beast. She wore purple and scarlet and had on beautiful jewelry made of gold and precious gems and pearls. She held a gold goblet full of obscenities and impurities of her immorality. The words “Babylon the Great, Mother of all Prostitutes and Obscenities in the World” was written on her forehead. She was drunk with the blood of all blood of God’s holy people who were a witness for Jesus. John stared in amazement. The angel told John the mystery of the beast. It would rise back up from hell and amaze its followers. The seven heads of represent the seven hills where the woman rules and the seven kings who rule them. Five kings have already fallen and the sixth now reigns. The seventh is yet to come. His reign will be short. The scarlet beast that is no longer is the eighth king but he too is headed for destruction. The ten horns are ten kings that will then rise up and follow the beast. They will join with the beast to fight the Lamb but the Lamb will win because he is the Lord of all lords and King of all kings and his people who love him will be with him. The waters represent the sea of humanity. The beast and all his horns hate the prostitute and they will strip her, eat her flesh and burn her in the fire. This woman represents the great city that rules over the kings of the world. Lord, it is wonderful to know that the end of all this evil is soon coming to an end. May we stand in righteousness and truth. We hold your standard across our foreheads. We are the children of the Lamb.
