Christian
soldiers will take their stance against the fiery darts of the Wicked One.
We have come to the 9th
book of the Minor Prophets,
the book of the prophet
Zephaniah
whose name means "Hidden of Yah".
It is particularly important
at this late date in the chronological order of events
for those with "eyes
to see and ears to hear" to understand this instructional book of Zephaniah
for it concerns the warning,
the "Minatory" as Dr. Bullinger calls it in the Companion Bible on page
1271,
of the 7th Trump which
is the time known as the great Day of the LORD.
Let us document as part
of our introductory
the exact timeframe of
this book which can be found in verses 14-16 of the first chapter as follows:
Zeph.
1:14 The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth
greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry
there bitterly.
[15] That day
is
a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness
and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick
darkness,
[16] A day of
the trumpet and alarm
against the fenced cities, and against the
high towers.
It is not so much
that the Day of the LORD is near, it is near (vs. 14),
but rather that the "voice"
("qowl" in Hebrew which means proclamation)
of the day of the LORD
is near, i.e. the time of the blowing the trumpet,
that time of the
warning (minatory) to the nations
that Jesus Christ the
King of kings is returning soon.
How
so?
Because
when Satan as the false messiah is cast out of heaven to this earth (Rev.
12:7-9)
at
the sound of the 6th Trump,
God's
elect, the watchmen,
will
no longer be warning their brothers and sisters that the enemy is coming.
The
reason why is obvious,
for
he (Satan) will already be here claiming to be the true Messiah.
In other words, the 6th
Trump will have sounded
and now it shall be time
to blow the sound of warning (trumpet)
and to fulfill Mark 13:10
and "Proclaim [the gospel] Among All Nations",
the good news of the
Kingdom of God,
i.e. that Yeshua Messiah
is about to return as King of kings
with a rod of iron and
subdue all nations and destroy Babylon the great,
the mother of harlots
and abominations of the earth.
As it is written, at that
time "some of you" [of God's elect]
will be delivered up
to give that witness and testimony before the great Day of the LORD,
the Day of His Wrath,
arrives.
It is "the WORK" to come
that shall be accomplished by those among the brotherhood,
even of the church of
Smyrna,
when the "devil" has
arrived on the scene at the sound of the 6th Trump:
Rev.
2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold,
the
devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye
may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful
unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Yes, those spiritually
rich (Rev. 2:9) Christian soldiers
shall suffer (endure)
persecution and have tribulation,
but that is no big deal
for these spiritual warriors
who don the Gospel Armour
and take their stance
against the fiery darts of the Wicked One.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
