The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Vision of the Day of the Lord, #8
Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. (Joel 2:5)
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. (Jude 1:15,16)
The peoples of the earth (with reason) often picture the Christian minister as a weak, silly do-gooder who is to be stuffed with chicken and apple pie and then placed in a church building somewhere so he will not interfere with the daily business and pleasures of ordinary human beings.
In that Day the nations will be confronted by an army of immortal beings, each of whom is shining like the sun. Their faces will not be those of compromising human beings. They will be motivated by the Lord through the Spirit. They will move only as directed by the Lord. Their mission is one of destruction of the works of the flesh, of all the bondages and corruptions of Satan. They cannot be bribed, frightened, bluffed, deceived, or harmed in any manner. They have been crucified with Christ and Christ is living in them. They are dead-living creatures.
They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: (Joel 2:7)
Each of these saints is powerful in the Lord Jesus Christ. Each has been tested during His Christian experience. He has been taught by the Spirit how to run with God, how to climb "walls," how to overcome obstacles. Each knows how to follow the Spirit of God. He does not move impulsively in soulish enthusiasm. He has died to his self-will and is moved by the Life of Christ in him. He has learned stern obedience to the Father.
When Satan attacks, the army holds steady. There is no weak member who will give way when subjected to temptations or pressures. All the weak will be removed before the army marches.
This terrifying invasion force is the Seed of Abraham, the Bride of the Lamb. It will control the gate of its enemies. Hell cannot prevail against it. Antichrist cannot prevail against it. The False Prophet, the spirit of religious deception, cannot prevail against it. Its members are a great people and a strong.
To be continued.
