The Daily Word of Righteousness

The Vision of the Day of the Lord, #13

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: (II Thessalonians 2:8)

There never will be a moment in which the Lord is forced to pull out His people in order to avoid a confrontation with Antichrist. Rather, Antichrist and his followers will be destroyed by the appearing of Christ, and God in Him, in the members of the Body of Christ.

Our being transformed into the image of Christ, our service in His army, and our reigning with Him are the goals of our salvation. The object is not to escape from the earth, it is to regain dominion with Christ over all the earth so God's will may be done here.

We are approaching the climax of the warfare of the ages. It is not a case of weak believers being rescued from a mighty Antichrist. It is the developing of a strong people who will, through the Lord Jesus Christ, drive Antichrist and all his forces from the face of the earth.

The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. (Joel 3:15,16)

And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them. (Deuteronomy 7:24)

And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver. (Micah 5:8)

Concerning the coming of the large and disciplined army, the prophet cries out:

When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops. (Habakkuk 3:16)

Make certain you are adhering to the Scriptures and not just to the traditions of men. The vision you are following may determine your eternal destiny in the Day of the Lord. (from The Vision of the Day of the Lord)
