Adrena/ Sarasota, Florida U.S.A.
Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Matthew 26:53 KJV
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray
to My Father, and He shall presently give Me more than twelve legions
of angels?
Legion:
The chief
subdivision of the Roman army, containing about 6000 infantry, with a
contingent of cavalry.
(Smith's Bible
Dictionary)
No, there is no war in heaven now, but
there is coming a time soon, when there will be!
Yes our Lord, has legions of angelic
hosts, He is called The Commander Of The Lord's Army.
Joshua 5:13-15 NLT
13 When Joshua was near the town of
Jericho, he looked up and saw A Man standing in front of him with
sword in hand. Joshua went up to Him and demanded, “Are you friend
or foe?”
14 “Neither one,” He replied. “I
am The Commander Of The Lord’s Army.” At this, Joshua fell with
his face to the ground in reverence. “I am at your command,”
Joshua said. “What do you want your servant to do?”
15 The Commander Of The Lord’s
Army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are
standing is holy.” And Joshua did as he was told.
Our Lord, is The Prince Of Peace, but
because of sin, He is also The Commander Of The Lord's Army.
Because of sin, there must of necessity
be judgment, and where judgment, enforcement.
Isaiah 9:6 KJV
For unto us A Child is born, unto us
A Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and
His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The
Everlasting Father,
The Prince Of Peace.
Jeremiah 12:12
KJV
"... for The Sword Of The Lord
shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of
the land..."
Now in heaven, there is one called “The
accuser of the brethren.” Let it be of no wonder who this is,
for it is Satan.
Accuse:
To blame (someone) for something wrong
or illegal : to say that someone is guilty of a fault or crime
(Mewrriam-Webster)
Satan, accuses God's people, of sin and
that they deserve judgment.
Zechariah 3:1,2 KJV
1 And he shewed me Joshua the high
priest standing before The Angel Of The Lord, and Satan standing at
his right hand to resist him.
2 And the Lord said unto Satan, The
Lord rebuke thee, O Satan..."
As
Satan sees all the preparation for The Marriage Supper Of The Lamb,
in heaven, and its nearing completion, he will do all he can to
impede or stop what comes next...and what comes next is “the
rapture of Christ's bride the church.” (
I Corinthians 15:51-58/ I
Thessalonians 4:13-18 KJV)
Revelation
19:7-9 KJV
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and
give honor to Him: for The Marriage Of The Lamb is come, and
His wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she
should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen
is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write,
Blessed are they which are called unto
The Marriage Supper Of The Lamb.
And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
Before The Lord's
bride can be called home, Satan and his angels must be cast out.
War in heaven, yes!
This accuser of the brethren, is about
to be cast out.
Revelation 12:7-12 KJV
7 And there was war in heaven:
Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon
fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was
their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out,
that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the
whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast
out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying
in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of
our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our
brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day
and night.
11 And they overcame him by the
blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they
loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens,
and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of
the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath,
because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Heaven cleansed,
before the arrival of the bride, and the celebration of The Marriage
Supper Of The Lamb.
Revelation
21:10,11,27 KJV
10 And he carried me away in The
Spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city,
the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11 Having the glory of God: and her
light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone,
clear as crystal;
27 And there shall in no wise
enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh
abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in
The Lamb's Book Of Life.
Satan, has a man,
he has chosen and prepared here on earth, to receive his spirit, the
moment he is cast out of heaven. The man prepared and waiting for the
spirit of Satan, is a man who will become the Anti-Christ.
For the rapture
of the church to be possible at any moment...that man must already
exist here on earth and be well known by all.
Dear friends,
momentous events are clamoring at the door. The trumpet is about to
sound, are you ready to meet The Lord?
Acts 2:21 KJV
And it shall come to pass, that
whosoever shall call on the name of The Lord shall be saved.
Have you called on
The Lord, to be your Savior?
John 5:24 KJV
Verily, verily, I say unto you, he
that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath
everlasting Life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed
from death unto Life.
