The Daily Word of Righteousness
Preparing the Army of God, #2
And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. (Revelation 1:13)
The Lord Jesus Christ is walking today among the lampstands, the Christian churches, in order to prepare us for the critical role we shall play in the climax of the present age and in the installation of the Kingdom Age on the earth.
Moses is dead, so to speak. The world is in transition and uproar. We are not to copy the old techniques of church operation except as the Holy Spirit leads us to do so.
There are several billion people in the world. Each of them must hear the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. There is no time left for theological disputations or denominational strivings. There is time only for the healing of the sick, the raising of the dead, the casting out of demons, and the bringing of the Good News that the Kingdom of God soon will be installed on the earth.
We have Divine Life to bring to human beings—Life that will save their souls, heal their bodies, and give them the wisdom and power to live in this world. God is looking for individuals who will allow the Lord to prepare them to be bread for the nations.
It is not God's will that hostile governments be allowed to prevent human beings from receiving the Word of God. It is the Lord's will that every person see the power of the Kingdom of God and hear the Word of repentance.
God shall open the political doors for us and He shall confirm the Word with signs following, just as soon as we are prepared to preach Christ and not ourselves.
God has a plan for today. He will bring the Gospel of the Kingdom to every creature. Moses is dead, it is true. Now God will speak to Joshua. God performed one aspect of Kingdom work through Moses and a different aspect of Kingdom work through Joshua.
Moses typifies the Lord Jesus as the meek and gentle Shepherd who calls His people out of Egypt, out of the world, and then leads them through the wilderness.
Joshua typifies the Lord Jesus as the Commander in Chief who directs His people across Jordan and into battle against the enemy, and then divides to them their inheritance.
We have known the Good Shepherd of the Twenty-third Psalm. We have not been as familiar with the Lord of Armies, the Lord strong and majestic in battle, of the Twenty-fourth Psalm.
We may ask, "Who is this King of Glory who is appearing now to the Christian people? We have not known this Person."
The answer comes, "He is the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of Armies."
We have known the gentle, loving Christ—the Friend who caresses the little children and speaks to them of the love of their heavenly Father.
Who is this cunning, ferocious Warrior, this majestic Emperor, this Judge whose terror caused Paul to persuade men?—whose countenance and Presence overcame the Apostle John?—whose voice shakes Hell like an earthquake and paralyzes the fallen angels with fear?
We are to march forward under His leadership toward "the land which I do give to them" (Joshua 1:2).
To be continued.
