The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Age of Reconciliation, #9
And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. (Daniel 8:10)
The forming of Christ in the Church in the last days will result in a violent shaking of the heavens as well as the earth. The shaking is necessary if God's creatures are to be reconciled to Himself.
There is not a more astonishing verse in the Scriptures than Daniel 8:10. It is telling us that God will permit the forces of Hell to reach up to the heavenly army and cast down to the ground some of the prominent personages of that army.
If we would understand the plan of redemption we must view the work of God as beginning in the highest heavens. Evil must be cast down from the heavens before it can be cleansed from the universe.
Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. (Daniel 8:11)
It appears Antichrist (the little horn) will seek to be the equal of the Lord Jesus Christ. Antichrist will prevent people from being saved in that day. Only in the remnant, by that time hidden in the wilderness, will there be deliverance.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call. (Joel 2:32)
The remnant of saints will have the authority to admit people to the Kingdom and to deny people entrance to the Kingdom. In the large cities of the earth it will be impossible for people to break through the barrier of evil in the heavens and touch the Throne of God. It is difficult to "pray through" today but it will be impossible in the future. This will be the hour of darkness when no man can work.
No words of ours could describe the horror of seeking to reach God in prayer and discovering we cannot touch God because our prayer is being blocked by highly placed lords of darkness. We are so accustomed to reaching up to the Most Holy Place through the blood of the Lord Jesus that it is difficult to imagine not being able to break through to God. But the day is not far off when evil will have attained such authority and power in the earth and in the heavens that people no longer will be able to reach God in prayer.
The bringing down of Christ's sanctuary suggests the witness of the Church will be seriously impaired and its power greatly limited.
We have always thought that once we died and went to Heaven we would be safe. Now we find there is war in Heaven; it may not be the place of safety we thought it to be. The only safety for us is in the Lord Jesus whether we are on earth or in Heaven. Let us run into the Lord and be saved and safe. It is the Lord, not Heaven, who is our strong Tower, our Rock, our Refuge.
To be continued.
