Sat.’s Devo - We Are God’s Witnesses on the Earth
Read: Zechariah 4:1-5:11; Revelation 14:1-20; Psalm 142:1-7; Proverbs 30:21-23
Zechariah was shown the same vision John was shown in Revelation. Both saw the gold lamp stands which stood for the seven churches that described the timeline of the Church from the time of the cross till the time of his coming. In Revelation 11 the two olive trees stood for the prophets of two lamp stands. They had the power to bind and loose on earth and in heaven. This was the same power that was mentioned in the message to the Church at Philadelphia. Zechariah was told that the two olive trees stood for the two anointed ones who stand in the court of the Lord of all the earth. Isaiah 43 tells us that we are God’s witnesses on the earth. Our witness is that He is the only God.
*** The verdicts comes in the picture of a flying scroll. It is 30 feet long and 15 feet wide. On side gives the sentence of what will happen to those who steal. They will be banished from the land. The other side says that those who lie in court will be banished form the land. That sentence which is God’s curse will remain in the house of those who are guilty - it will be completely destroyed.
*** I can’t help but think of all the newscasters and Congressmen who have lied about Trump and so many other things. May they be sent to GItmo. And, all the laws the Federal Reserve has issued to steal our hard-earned money. And the CIA, FBI, CDC, WEF, WHO… the list goes on and on. May they all be sent to Gitmo.
*** Next, Zechariah was shown a basket full of the sins of the people. When the cover was lifted a woman was sitting in it whose name is Wickedness. He pushed her back in and closed the lid. Two women flew in and lifted the basket and took it to the land of Babylonia. There they would build a temple for the basket and when the finished the temple, they would put it on a pedestal.
*** In Revelation, we find the reward for the saints who endured this sinful time. These pure and perfectly cleansed people were given the number 144,000 which is a governmental number: 12 times 1,000. The blood of Jesus had cleansed them from their sins and they had faithfully followed Him.
*** An angel flew through the sky announcing the time of judgment. Another angel announced that Babylon had fallen. A third angel announced that whoever worships the beast and his statue or accepted his mark on their foreheads or hand must drink the wine of God’s anger. They will be tormented with holy fire in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb.
*** God’s holy people must endure persecution with patience for they will be blessed. When they die, they will rest in peace.
*** John saw a white cloud with the Son of Man sitting on the cloud wearing a gold crown with a sharp sickle in his hand. An angel from the Temple came and shouted to him to swing the sickle and harvest the earth. The whole earth was harvested. Two other angels came with sickles and reaped the ones who were ripe for judgment. They would receive God’s wrath. *** Lord, may we remain your faithful witnesses in persecution and stand unashamed of the gospel of Christ.
I have always loved to study the Bible and look for hidden meanings to know God better. I think God hides things and shares them with those who will spend the time seeking them out. He loves to reveal his mysteries with us. I pray that I will rightly divide the truth so that others might love his word like I do. I pray that God will be magnified in your life as you read my blog.
