Our Great God Protects His Beloved
“And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison, and he will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. They went up over the width of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven from God, and devoured them. The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are also. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.” (Revelation 20:7-10 WEB)
Can you imagine an army led by the devil as vast as the number of grains of sand in the sea—how scary that would be in the natural?
You’d expect that army to bulldoze through everything. It will surround Jerusalem at that time.
The fact that the army could make it there must mean that it had destroyed all the lines of defense that protected Jerusalem.
And yet when the devil thinks he’s going to win it all, he will realize that God has been waiting for that exact moment to utterly destroy him.
Fire falls from Heaven and destroys the vast demonic armies that will cover the face of the earth.
Everything temporal will be burnt up and only Jerusalem will be left untouched with the lake of fire exposed and burning hot under it.
The devil will be cast into the lake of fire. His screams of agony will be the loudest, echoing throughout eternity, for he filled the cup of wrath for himself beyond measure.
When it seems like the enemy is making inroads in your life, it doesn’t mean that God is unaware of what’s going on.
There is a perfect moment for Him to save you and to demonstrate His greatest glory.
Without an opportunity for Satan to make his move, we won’t be able to see exactly how much greater our God is.
No matter how great the challenge, we’ll always discover that our God is greater.
At that time in the Millennium there will be a temple in Jerusalem—the one that prophet Ezekiel saw a vision of. The armies of Satan will surround that temple.
The apostle Paul taught that today our bodies are the temple of God since it houses the Holy Spirit.
It may seem like your spiritual enemies have got you surrounded right now. They may have broken through some lines of defense.
But I’m telling you, fire from Heaven is going to fall upon those demons at the perfect time.
They may have gathered against you one way, but they will flee seven ways after being incinerated by the fire of the Holy Spirit.
Get a sense of how much greater your God is than the devil. The devil is small fry. If God is for you, no devil nor demon can stand against you!
Just like Jerusalem is referred to as the “beloved city” in the passage above, you are also God’s beloved child.
When you believe you are His beloved, you will remain in peace because you know you’re going to win!
After the passage above is the part about the Great White Throne Judgment.
In my book “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”, I elaborate about the encouraging truths about judgment for believers before Jesus’ throne, how to maximize our eternal rewards, live a worthy life and fulfill our God-given calling!
Jesus wants us to receive the best rewards that last forever. One day we will stand before His throne to receive our eternal rewards.
By His Grace, we can redeem the time and walk wisely when time is so short!
I believe the Rapture will happen soon so we need to understand reward theology more than ever—our redemption draws near so its time to be looking up!
