Rev 16:16 ( And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon)
John 3:36 ( He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him)
The battle between good and evil light and darkness has been activated since the fall in the Garden of Eden.
After Adam was chased out of the garden, Cain the firstborn killed his only brother.
It’s the battle of dominance between the kingdom of righteousness and the kingdom of darkness.
Every day Satan is recruiting an army, souls of men to fight on his side against God, he is doing this by initiation and manipulation including temptation to make one fall and be on his side.
Whoever is the enemy of the truth and the righteousness of God is the enemy of God, the spirit lusts after the flesh and the flesh after the spirit, the side you belong to is determined by who you obey
Everyone entered this warfare the day he was born, there is no neutral ground, it’s either you are on the Lord side or the devil side, but all human being are God’s enemies by birth, for the nature of the serpent is dwelling in man, it’s only who have this thing destroyed by the power of the cross that is more than conqueror.
Satan coveted God’s throne in heaven and was cast out, he went to the garden of Eden to manipulate Adam and his wife to relinquish the authority given by God and become the sole controller of the earth.
He planted his seed to compete with the children of Adam in authority and wrestle with God in the affairs of man.
Jesus came down to put all things in the original position and overcome him at the cross, collecting the keys of death and hell from the hand of Satan, making man superior to him once again on the earth.
Satan won’t stop like that, he won’t accept defeat until he is forced.
But Satan’s defeat was declared when Christ saw him fall from heaven like lightning.
He is still in his ancient tricks as of old, trying to take what belongs to God to himself, trying to take the glory of God by pretending to be an angel of light.
Trying to take God’s worship upon himself by mingling with the saints to direct worship to the queen of heaven as he did in the wilderness with the Israelites.
Had Christians known this they wouldn’t have permitted the doctrine of Jezebel nor allowed the doctrine of Balaam in their midst.
They wouldn’t have allowed the leaven of the Pharisees to have preeminence and wouldn’t have allowed the queen of the coast to penetrate their midst.
Devil won’t stop for he is still contending with God for casting him out and want to take vengeance over the one God love most, the children of men, for he has no access to God, so he is turning his creatures against him in this battle, to claim his supremacy and make God angry to the extent of destroying his creation.
Instead, Christ came down with mercy to reconcile his enemy back to himself by the sacrifice of his blood, Whoever wants to belong to God’s side must accept Jesus Christ as the Lord and must agree with the way he is to open the door for changes in his life.
When we are yet sinners Christ died for the ungodly.
The final showdown is on the way when God will show Satan that he made the world for himself and made it for his people to have dominion over it.
He is coming back to rule in Jerusalem that’s why the heathen rage and the King of the earth raised themselves against the Lord and his anointed that Jerusalem shall not be inhabited.
But the Lord will laugh them in derision, no one can stop God whatever he says he will do he will surely do it.
After he has bound the devil for one thousand years he will loose him to wage war against the saints in the battle of Armageddon, that when the Lord will bring the sin of the great Babylon to remember, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
The judgment will take place and the prince of the world with all his angels shall be judged and cast into the lake of fire, that is their final judgement which accompanies the showdown between good and evil.
All those who follow the devil in his rebellion shall have their place in the lake which burns with sulphur and brimstone.
It’s better to choose where to belong now before it’s too late, it’s only those who abide in the will of God that’ll last forever.
Even though you call yourself a Christian and are not living according to His Will, you’re on the side of the devil.
Whoever commit sin is of the devil, pastor or Reverend, prophets or lay men, if you fail to repent you sin will find you out and stand against you on the day of judgement and you be found among those who killed the only begotten son of God, and trampled on his blood to enter destruction.
Prayer: Father, by your fire and your blood, draw me to your side and don’t let me be a partaker of your wrath in Jesus’ name amen
