The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Second Goat, #22
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)
There will be salvation and safety for those who flee to the remnant for protection, for God will cover them with His Glory.
First the Lord will purify the warlike remnant of saints.
When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. (Isaiah 4:4)
After this the Lord will cover the saints with His Glory.
And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence. (Isaiah 4:5)
Then the Lord will make His purified saints a place of refuge for all those on the earth who would seek the Lord during the reign of Antichrist.
Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. And a man [the King and His princes—other translations] shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. (Isaiah 32:1,2)
Can you see Satan's purpose in seeking to put a division between Israel and the Church? The believers are left with the impression that such passages as the above are speaking to physical Israel. They are not speaking to physical Israel but to Christ, the Seed of Abraham, and all who are part of Him.
In the present hour the most devout of the believers are being judged and purified.
And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. (Revelation 11:1)
When the judgment has been completed the purified saints will act together with the Lord Jesus as two witnesses. When the witness of the coming of the Kingdom has been borne to every nation, then the end of the Church Age as we know it will be here.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. (Matthew 24:14)
The anointing for testifying will be lifted and Antichrist will be given the authority and power needed to drive the Christian witness from the great cities of the earth—cities linked by telecommunications until they compose one great city.
Then the spiritual darkness of which we have spoken shall cover the earth and the remnant of saints will be forced to flee to the wilderness along with the elect Jews.
When the testimony has been completely overcome the Spirit of God will rise on the saints in the heavens and on the earth.
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. (Isaiah 60:1,2)
