The Daily Word of Righteousness
Bringing the Throne Into the Land of Promise
March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams' horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. (Joshua 6:3,4—NIV)
When the tribes of Israel invaded Canaan they brought the Ark of the Covenant with them into the land of promise. The Ark of the Covenant was so named because inside the Ark was the Covenant, the Ten Commandments.
The Ten Commandments are the Divine judgment on Satan. The nations that inhabited the land of Canaan were worshipers of demons. Their sin had reached its full measure. The invading army of Israel was the coming of the Throne of God, the judgment of God, to drive from the land and destroy utterly every remnant of the demons.
This is precisely what will take place when the Lord Jesus appears with His saints. The return of the Lord Jesus from Heaven accompanied by His saints and angels will be the coming of the Throne of God, the judgment of God, to drive from the earth and destroy utterly all the works of Satan. This will occur when the sin in the earth has reached its full measure.
They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you. (II Thessalonians 1:9,10—NIV)
But the LORD your God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into great confusion until they are destroyed. He will give their kings into your hand, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand up against you; you will destroy them. (Deuteronomy 7:23,24—NIV)
Notice in the above verse the total destruction of the enemy. We are not to fear Satan or compromise with evil in any manner. The troubled history of Israel portrays what takes place when the enemy is not totally vanquished. The experience of the Jews is intended to instruct us whose task it is to remove sin from the creation.
Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things, says the LORD Almighty. (Malachi 4:3—NIV)
It is Jesus Christ who will trample down the wicked, but He will do it through His Church.
The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. (Romans 16:20—NIV)
When we receive Christ and are baptized in water we are to acknowledge by faith that we are taking our place with Christ on the cross. When we come up from the water we are signifying that we are rising with Christ to walk in newness of life.
We have left our adamic nature and the Law of Moses on the cross. In the spirit realm, our new born-again nature takes it place in Christ at the right hand of God. This is the seat of supreme authority and judgment.
To be continued.
