The Daily Word of Righteousness
Preparing the Army of God
Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. (Joshua 1:1,2)
God has a plan for today. He is preparing an army that will invade and conquer the earth. Moses (many traditional aspects of Christianity) is dead. Now God will speak to Joshua. God performed one aspect of Kingdom work through Moses and a different aspect of Kingdom work through Joshua. The Lord Jesus has been as Moses and now is coming to His Church as Joshua.
Change takes place in the Kingdom of God and in the lives of the people who are associated with the Kingdom of God.
For forty years Moses had represented God on the earth. Whenever an Israelite thought about God he thought about Moses.
Then came the moment when Moses died.
Throughout the history of God's working with man there have been points of change: the flood, the calling of Abraham out of Chaldean Ur, the burning bush, the Babe of Bethlehem. These epochs have been associated with outstanding personalities.
Change is difficult for human beings to accept and it often creates fear and resistance.
Change—sometimes great change—does come. Although Moses was a most extraordinary individual, an institution, God having made him so, there did come a day when he was gone from the earth.
Then the Lord spoke to Joshua, who had been Moses' servant.
The hour in which we are living is one such crisis. Changes are taking place in the world. Greater changes than these are occurring in the Kingdom of God. The coming of Jesus is near.
Worldwide revival is upon us including the empowering of the original Gospel of the Kingdom of God. After that will come the days of trouble that shall purify the Bride of Christ. The "tares" also will come to maturity. Divine judgment, wrath on all disobedience, the harvesting of the earth, are at hand.
It has required nearly two thousand years to bring the Christian Church to the brink of Jordan, to the death to self and the stern obedience to the Father that will enable us to gain spiritual dominion over the material realm.
We shall treasure and profit from the wisdom and strength we have inherited from the godly men and women of the past as we press forward into the earthwide demonstrating and preaching of the Gospel, which already has begun. We must prepare ourselves for Armageddon and the seizing of the rulership of the world, at the coming of the Lord Jesus.
Ours is a new day—the "times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets" (Acts 3:21). Wisdom and power without precedent in man's experience are being assigned to God's elect. The Kingdom of God is at hand, which is the rule of God in Christ in and with the saints over the nations of the earth. "The kingdoms of this world" are about to become "the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever" (Revelation 11:15).
To be continued.
