Are You Neglecting Your Victory?

Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: “How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers has given you? Joshua 18:3

How long will you neglect the way God has made for you? Many people have no interest in reading the Old Testament, they have no interest in reading about Joshua who is leading God’s people into the promised land that God prepared for them! This is a foreshadow of our Christian walk, are you like one of these stubborn Israelites who will neglect the promise of our Father?

First, who is leading? If your trying to lead yourself , then this is why you are lost! There is one leader, The Lord of Hosts, Joshua or better known as Jesus. There is no coincidence God raised up a better Moses named Yeshua, the one who will not fail, the one who is obedient to our Father and fulfills the mission. Unlike Moses, because of his lack of faith, failed to see and lead Gods people into the Promised Land

You might say “This has nothing to do with me” Do you know Jesus Christ is “The Way, The Truth, and The Life, Nobody can some to The Father except through Me (Christ) (John 14:6) Jesus is the Way to the Promised Land and Jesus has prepared The Way, the question is why are you still neglecting your salvation?

The Victory is already ours in Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15) O death where is your sting? O grave where is your victory? Christ has conquered, Christ has overcome, Christ has defeated the greatest enemy, death! (1 Corinthians 15:26) So why are you neglecting your victory? Just like the Israelites were afraid to crossover into their Promised Land because of their enemies, many have not truly trusted in Christ by faith for their victory in Jesus!

You might say, “This has happened long ago, this has nothing to do with me”! Do you understand you are in a Spiritual Battle? (Ephesians 6) Do you understand their is a war for your soul? Satan wants to devour you (1 Peter 5:7) but Christ wants to save you! But you neglected The Way! You neglected your Victory in the Promised Land! You neglected your time of prayer, you neglected your time in the Bible, you neglected your worship and service to the Church. You neglected your Victory, because you neglected your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

As the martyred saints keep saying ““How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” (Revelation 6:10) Jesus Christ , our Captain of The Lord of Hosts (Joshua 5:14) is coming back to setup His eternal Kingdom that will never end! Neglect The Lord no longer, come to Jesus and you shall find rest! (Matthew 11:28) Amen!

Zechariah 14- Israel Restored

All the land shall be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be raised up and inhabited in her place from Benjamin’s Gate to the place of the First Gate and the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses. The people shall dwell in it; And no longer shall there be utter destruction, But Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.  Zechariah 14:10-11

Jerusalem shall be raised up” While the whole world is against Israel, including today, Jerusalem is the apple of God’s eye (Zechariah 2:8) The world will say but Israel is the root of all our problems, even many in the Church today will say “God has done away with Israel” but the word of The Lord promises Jerusalem shall be raised up”

Jesus Christ will physically return to the Mt of Olives and save Israel, this is Gods redemption plan, not just for Israel but for God’s Kingdom to come onto the earth. “No longer shall there be utter destruction” No longer will Israel be under attack from the world and Satan, because Christ will defeat all its enemies, including the greatest enemy Satan, death, sin, and Hell, which Christ accomplished at the cross! (1 Corinthians 15)

In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. / And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.  Isaiah 2:2-3

And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths. It shall come to pass in that day That a great panic from the LORD will be among them. Everyone will seize the hand of his neighbor, And raise his hand against his neighbor’s hand;  Zechariah 14:12-13

The final battle of Armageddon, when Christ comes with His legions of angels and saints to destroy the demonic armies that have persecuted and warred against Israel for centuries. “The Lord will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem” 

God is faithful to His promises and His remnant, as God foretold He will always have a remnant (Romans 11:5) and all of Israel shall be saved! (Romans 11:26)

Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies assembled to wage war against the One seated on the horse, and against His army. / But the beast was captured along with the false prophet, who on its behalf had performed signs deceiving those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. Both the beast and the false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.  Revelation 19:19-20

Judah also will fight at Jerusalem. And the wealth of all the surrounding nations Shall be gathered together: Gold, silver, and apparel in great abundance.  Such also shall be the plague On the horse and the mule, On the camel and the donkey, And on all the cattle that will be in those camps. So shall this plague be.  Zechariah 14:14-15

The divine judgement is upon the Earth, upon all those who came against Israel, upon all those , “such also shall be the plague” reminiscent of the plagues of Egypt, the divine judgement of God

The Millennial Kingdom has come, Christ will rule and reign on Earth, The Kingdom of God has come! The King of Kings and Lord of Lords will rule the world with a rod of iron!

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 the 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.  Revelation 19:15-16

Zechariah 14- King of Kings

Then you shall flee through My mountain valley, For the mountain valley shall reach to Azal. Yes, you shall flee As you fled from the earthquake In the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Thus the LORD my God will come, And all the saints with You.  It shall come to pass in that day That there will be no light; The lights will diminish.  Zechariah 14:5-6

The Return of Christ will be a glorious day for the elect, but will be a terrifying and dreadful day for those who are not yet saved. As Jesus said “all the earth will mourn”, as the prophet Zechariah states “they will flee” The world will try to hide from the presence of The Lord, they will try to hide in caves (Isaiah 2:19)

Notice it states “and all the saints with you” (Revelation 19:14) The Raptured Church coming with The Lord and His angels, to bring final judgement upon the world. The final separation between the Wheat and the Tares (Matthew 13) The Sheep and the Goats (Matthew 25)

At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. / And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.  Matthew 24:30-31

It shall be one day Which is known to the LORD— Neither day nor night. But at evening time it shall happen That it will be light.  Zechariah 14:7

The return of Christ will happen like a “thief in the night” (1 Thessalonians 5:2) at a day or hour which nobody knows except God. So anyone who is making predictions on a time or day, rebuke them! With that said “Be ready! Be prepared! Because The Lord will return when you least expect him! (Matthew 24:44)

No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.  Matthew 24:36

And in that day it shall be That living waters shall flow from Jerusalem, Half of them toward the eastern sea And half of them toward the western sea; In both summer and winter it shall occur.  And the LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be— “The LORD is one,” And His name one.  Zechariah 8:9

Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and The Lord of Lords (Philippians 2) shall finally rule and reign from Jerusalem, Christ has come to setup His throne and eliminate all evil and false religions from the Earth. On that day “The Lord Is One” Jesus Christ, the Living Water, shall reign from Israel and Lord and King over all the Earth!

Then the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and loud voices called out in heaven: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.”  Revelation 11:15
