"They Have Said," But It Won't Come to pass

"They have said, 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.'" (Psalm 83:4)

Well, that plan hasn't worked.  "They," have been saying this about the People of the Blessed Trinity since man's creation.  The Jews are now, yes, right now as I write and as you read, the most powerful nation in the Middle East, and the Church is still declaring to the nations the reality of the Universe, "Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse.  And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteous He judges and makes war.  His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns....He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God ....And the armies in heaven...followed Him on white horses.  Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations.  And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron.  He Himself treads the winepress of fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.  And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."  The end of the, "They," is sealed.

Our text is warfare 101.  God told Satan that the Man would, "bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel."  Yes, Jesus died that you and I may live.  But, praise Him, "Up from the grave He arose, with a mighty triumph o'er His foes; He arose a victor from the dark domain, and He lives forever with His saints to reign."  Now while Satan's "head wound" has not finished him, the Bible tells us that some day, "The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are.  And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever."  So, you see that the, "Come, and let us cut them off," people are on a sinking ship.  As for you and me?---  "Now I saw a new haven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away.  Also there was no more sea.  Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband....God Himself...will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.  There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."  Hey, any, "They," people out there, Come on board.

Father, in Jesus' Name, Your Word is a glorious, "lamp to my feet and light to my path."  Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
