The
sun stopped in the middle of the sky
And
delayed going down about a full day.
There
has never been a day like it before or since,
A
day when the Lord listened to a man.
Surely
the Lord was fighting for Israel! (Joshua 10: 13-14)
In
this battle of Israel against the five kings of the Amorites,
The
Lord hurled large hailstones down on them from the sky,
And
more of them [the Amorites] died from the hailstones
Than
were killed by the swords of the Israelites. (Joshua 10:11)
How
pathetic are the enemies of God, how helpless, how hopeless.
God
controls all of His Creation
And
He brings circumstances of His choosing to bear at His will.
He
defends those He has PROMISED to defend
As
He did here for Joshua and Israel.
Today,
God Almighty is the DEFENDER OF THE NATION ISRAEL.
Not
because she is so virtuous
But
because God made a PROMISE to King David
That
his Throne and his Kingdom would endure FOREVER:
Your
House and your Kingdom will endure FOREVER before Me,
Your
Throne will be established FOREVER.' (2 Samuel 7:16)
Christ
Jesus is the Decedent of King David
Who
will sit on David's Throne FOREVER:
For
to us a child is born, to us a Son [Christ
Jesus] is given,
And
the Government will be on His shoulders
And
He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting
Father, Prince of Peace.
Of
the INCREASE of His Government and Peace there will be NO END.
He
will REIGN on David's Throne and over His Kingdom,
Establishing
and upholding it with Justice and Righteousness
From
THAT TIME ON and FOREVER.
The
ZEAL OF THE LORD ALMIGHTY will accomplish this.
(Isaiah
9:6-7)
The
Lord Almighty fought for Israel in their escape from Egypt:
Then
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea,
And
all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind
And
turned it into dry land.
The
waters were divided,
And
the Israelites when through the sea on dry ground,
With
a wall of water on their right and on their left.
The
Egyptians pursued them,
All
Pharaoh's horses and chariots and horsemen followed them into the
sea.
In
the morning watch the Lord looked down from the Pillar of Fire
And
Cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it into CONFUSION.
He
made the wheels of their chariots come off
So
that they had difficulty driving.
And
the Egyptians said, 'Lets get away from the Israelis!
The
Lord is fighting for them against Egypt.'
Then
the Lord said to Moses,
'Stretch
out your hand over the sea
So
that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians
And
their chariots and horsemen.'
Moses
stretched out his hand over the sea,
And
at daybreak the sea went back to its place.
The
Egyptians were fleeing from it,
And
the Lord swept them into the sea.
The
water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen--
The
entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea.
Not
one of them survived. (Exodus 14:21-28)
At
The Battle Of Armageddon the Lord gathers the nations
To
fight against Jerusalem. Listen:
A
Day IS COMING when you plunder will be divided among you.
I
will gather ALL THE NATIONS to Jerusalem to fight against it;
The
City will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped.
Half
the City will go into exile,
But
the rest of the people will not be taken from the City.
Then
the Lord will go out AND FIGHT AGAINST THOSE NATIONS,
As
He fights in THE DAY OF BATTLE.
On
THAT DAY His feet will stand on the Mount of olives,
East
of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two
From
east to west, forming a Great Valley,
With
half of the mountain moving north and half moving south.
You
will flee by My mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel.
You
will flee as you fled from the earthquake
In
the days of Uzziah king of Judah.
Then
the Lord my God will come and all the Holy Ones with Him.
On
THAT DAY there will be no light, no cold or frost.
It
will be a UNIQUE DAY, without daytime or nighttime—
A
day know to the Lord.
When
evening comes, there will be light.
The
Lord will be King over the Whole Earth.
On
THAT DAY there will be One Lord, and His Name the only name.
The
whole land, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem,
Will
become like the Arabah.
But
Jerusalem will be raise up and remain in its place,
From
the Benjamin Gate to the site of the first Gate, to the Corner Gate,
And
from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses.
It
will be inhabited; never again will it be destroyed.
Jerusalem
will be SECURE.
This
is the PLAGUE
With
which the Lord will STRIKE ALL THE NATIONS
That
fought against Jerusalem:
Their
flesh will ROT while they are still standing on their feet,
Their
eyes will ROT in their sockets,
And
their tongues will ROT in their mouths.
On
THAT DAY men will be STRICKEN BY THE LORD with great panic.
Each
man will seize the hand of another, and they will attack each other.
Judah
too will fight at Jerusalem.
THE
WEALTH OF ALL THE SURROUNDING NATIONS WILL BE COLLECTED--
Great
quantities of god and silver and clothing.
A
similar PLAGUE will strike the horses and mules, the camels and
donkeys,
And
all the animals in those camps.
Then
the survivors from ALL THE NATIONS that have attacked Jerusalem
Will
go up year after year to worship the King [Christ Jesus],
The
Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Feast of tabernacles.
(Zechariah
14:1-16)
Consider
how FUTILE
The
machinations of the Nations are at this time;
All the political wrangling in
America and the world;
All the Apostasy going on in America
and the world;
The
wages of SIN is Death; Eternal death.
But the GIFT OF GOD is Eternal LIFE
in Christ Jesus. (Romans 6:23)
I pray that those who read
this message choose Eternal LIFE
In Christ Jesus.
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
