Sat.’s Devo - God Remembers and God Delivers!

Read: Zechariah 1:1-21; Revelation 12:1-17; Psalm 140:1-13; Proverbs 30:17 Zechariah means “God Remembers.” He, like Haggai prophesied after the exile and strongly encouraged the people to finish the reconstruction of the temple. He was from the priestly tribe of Levi and was one of the most messianic of all the Old Testament prophets. *** He began prophesying two months after Haggai gave his word. About 50,000 Jews had returned under the edict of Cyrus and under the leadership of Zerubbabel the governor and Joshua the priest. Because of the opposition, many had became apathetic about the temple and had stopped to build their own houses. His word begins with “Return to me and I will return to you.” *** Zechariah was given a vision of a man sitting on a red horse among the myrtle trees. Behind him were riders on red, brown and white horses. He asked the angel who was talking to him what the horses stood for. The angel told him that they were the ones the Lord sent out to patrol the earth. They all reported to the angel of the Lord who was the one sitting on the red horse. They reported that the earth was at peace. *** The angel of of the Lord prayed to the Lord of Heaven’s Armies for the people in Jerusalem who had been in captivity for 70 years. He asked him when he was going to show mercy to them. *** The response was shouted that his love for Jerusalem was strong and he was angry with other nations that were at peace and secure. They had been unmerciful to his people beyond his intentions. He was going to return and show mercy to Jerusalem and his Temple would be rebuilt and Jerusalem would be reconstructed. The towns in Israel would again be blessed and prosper. *** He was shown four horns that represented the nations that had scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. Then he was shown four blacksmiths that were coming to terrify, overthrow, and destroy those nations. *** This is what God is doing right now. He is taking down the powers of the New World Order all over the world. Prosperity and peace is coming to the people whose God is the Lord! *** In Revelation John saw an event. A woman in the sun with the moon under her feet and twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant. A large red dragon with seven heads and ten horns with seven crowns on his head had a tail. With it he swept away one-third of the stars in the sky and threw them to the earth. He stood waiting to devour the baby the woman was about to have. *** She gave birth to the son who would rule the nations with a rod of iron and her child was snatched away from the dragon and caught up to God. The woman fled into the wilderness where God kept her safe for 1,260 days. *** War erupted in heaven and Michael and his fires fought the dragon and his angels. The dragon lost and his angles were forced from heaven. This dragon was the devil or Satan who had tried to deceive the whole world. He was thrown down to earth. *** Heaven rejoiced but the dragon pursued the woman on earth. She was given wings like eagle wings to escape into the wilderness. She would be kept safe for 2 and a half times. The dragon tried to drown the woman with a flood from his mouth and declared war against her and all her children who kept God’s commandments and their testimony about Jesus. *** Here is my understanding about this great picture. When God was about to send Jesus to earth the first time, he sent a sign in the sky for the wise man to see. It was a star in the sky. Genesis 1:14 says that the sun, moon and stars were put in the heavens for signs, seasons, days, and years. Psalm 19 tells us that the heavens declare God’s glory and speak to the whole world in words not audible. It also tells us of a line that goes out through the earth. This line is called the ecliptic and it goes through major constellations. Wandering stars travel along this line and God speaks to us through what is happening there. This revelation John received included the sun, moon and stars. The woman is the constellation Virgo. The sun is shining on her shoulders and the moon is under her feet. The crown on her head is Leo with Venus, Mercury and Mars with it. *** Virgo represents the Church of Christ with the Christ, Leo the Lion, next to her. There is a dragon at her feet and Michael is wrestling it to keep him from the crown (the Corona Borealis). There is a great book called “The Glory of the Stars” by Raymond Caps that explains the story God gave us in the stars. It is fascinating. God’s whole story from start to finish is given to us in the sky. That is why God said, “Look up, your redemption draweth nigh.” *** On November 9, 2016 Jupiter entered Virgos’s womb to begin the sign of the Son of Man. On September 23, 2017, a sign appeared in the sky that happens once in 7,000 years! It describes what John said to a tee. Jupiter entered into the womb of Virgo and made a loop then 42 weeks later (the period of human gestation) it was “delivered.” This was also the first day of the Feast of Trumpets which is accompanied by the blowing of trumpets and celebrates God’s deliverance from bondage in Egypt. *** The New World Order, who knows the signs very well thought this was the sign of their victory, so Beyonce performed at the Grammy’s as the star in Virgo, as the Queen of Heaven. They thought they had won. Flip. Flop. It was the sign of the birth of the Millennial Kingdom and the Reign of Christ on the Earth! God won! We won! *** From this time, the Body of Christ has risen up in great numbers to fight the New World Order now that they have exposed themselves and God has taken the blinders off our eyes to see who they are. And, just like it says in Revelation, God has kept us safe during this time while Satan has unleashed a flood of lies and events to kill us and punish us for waking up. *** Our Psalm for today is our prayer. It is perfect for what we are experiencing at this time. God will rescue us and destroy all the plans our enemies had on us. All the plans they planned for us will fall on them. Hallelujah! *** Lord, we live to praise your holy name! We will live in your presence doing your will. You are our king!
