The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Warrior's Prayer, #22
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matthew 28:19,20)
Christ is the only rightful Lord and King of all the peoples on the earth. He is not asking the nations of the earth to support His churches, only that the people who hear His voice repent and be baptized, acknowledging Him as the only true King, and then obey His commandments.
As long as our "gospel" appears to be serving the welfare of people, the Antichrist government will not be unkind to us. The world leaders will endorse and support our attempts to feed and clothe mankind.
But the moment we announce that Christ demands that the peoples of the earth bow the knee to Him and do His will, even when it conflicts with the laws of the state—in that moment we will behold the fury of Hell.
God has given to Christ the nations of the earth for His (and our) inheritance. Satan desires that the nations of the earth serve him. It is in the realm of behavior that the battle will rage.
We see this today in America where the government is requiring that people accept homosexual behavior as an acceptable life style. Yet such behavior is condemned in the Old and New Testaments. A conflict is growing over this issue and it is difficult to see what the result will be.
As long as the churches talk about fleeing to Heaven, Hell will not be too concerned. But when we show our determination that God's will be performed in the earth as it is in Heaven, then we are defying Satan's purposes concerning the earth and mankind. Satan would enjoy having God evacuate the hated saints to Heaven and keep them there for eternity—anything to get Christ out of the earth!
The Kingdom, the rule, of Heaven is at hand. Now we have come to the conflict of the ages, the battle for the control of the behavior of people. Christ will be Victor according to the will of Almighty God. But in these days of climax we shall behold the fury of Satan and the anger of God. No human being will stand alone in the coming hour. If we are not part of Christ we will be swept up in the maelstrom as so much debris. Where will all the proud boasting of man be then?
To be continued.
