And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death." Rev.12:10,11
Beasts, angels, the great dragon, a war in heaven between good and evil; it reads like the script of a science fiction screenplay. But it's real. Every fiber in my being knows there is a war being waged for the souls of men, women & children - a glimpse of things to come in this cosmic battle that will usher in the end of time as we know it. The details of this war are too great for me to comprehend. But I know the end of the story. It's only by the Holy Spirit that we can know these things will certainly come to pass. It comes only by revelation (as does our salvation). Pray - today - that your friends, neighbors and loved ones will hear His still, small voice - today. Not so much that they would understand this heavenly battle, but that they would know there is a God in heaven who loves them. He sent His Son to die for them. That comes by revelation.
I know these events are coming soon. This script in Revelation will unfold, and it will all happen to fulfill this great prophecy. That will happen, regardless of where we stand in our spiritual lives. Let's be certain we are on the winning side. We can know these things without a doubt (John 1:12,13), and live our lives in peace - absent of fear of things to come. The things depicted in this great book will come about. We will all be a part of it. Let us be determined to be on the side of the Lamb of God, and rest in that knowledge. Let us add our testimony to the multitudes' who will worship the Lamb for all of eternity.
