He Who on the Battle Is Slain Shall Never Rise to Fight Again
10/26/xvi A Sermon Past: Pastor John W. Thompson-Smyrna
Many have asked me volition the United states be in the Battle of ARMAGEDDON?
Attending Bride!
"THE LATTER DAYS ARE At present AT HAND"
I in Spirit must call you all back unto Remembrance?
Recollect that Father YAHVEH has already foretold you about these End-Times nosotros are Now in and much most this Groovy Concluding Earth War And about ARMAGEDDON the Great Last Decisive Battle?
Throughout all ages, wars have been experienced since the beginning of nations, and especially during the Christian age have they been multiplied, even as our Savior foretold in His wonderful prophecy in Matthew 24 the Affiliate, in which
He said, "Ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars;
see that ye be not troubled; for all these must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation, shall arise confronting
nation and kingdom against kingdom." [Verses vi-seven.]
At the end of this present dispensation, after a period of peace, that many expect forward to, Yahshua foretold that there would be a fourth dimension of distress, followed past the
coming of the Messiah, in these words: "There shall
be signs in the sun, and the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations with perplexity: the
bounding main and the waves roaring, men's hearts failing them for fearfulness and looking after those things which are coming upon the globe for the powers of heaven shall exist shaken. And so shall they see the Son of human being coming in a cloud with ability and swell glory." [Luke 21:25-27.]
Even so, earlier the horrors of the historic period'southward end falls upon sinful mankind, the world volition exist in a catamenia of political peace, manmade, temporal, simply an epoch of which worldly leaders will think is permanent. Of that false, manmade peace, the apostle has warned us, saying: "But of the times and flavour, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto y'all; for yourselves know perfectly that the day of Yahveh so
cometh as a thief in the night. For when they (the deceived world) shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden devastation cometh upon them, equally travail upon a woman with child; and
they shall not escape." [I Thes. 5:1-3.]
The historic period end tribulation upon all nations volition bring to a sudden stop this period of peace, and every bit Yahshua foretold, "There shall be keen tribulation, such as was not since the showtime of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall exist. Except those days shall exist shortened, in that location should be no flesh saved. But [HalleluYah!]
for the Elects sake those days shall exist shortened."
[Matt. 24:21. See as well Dan. 12:i; Isa. 66:fifteen.]
In the concluding prophecy of the Scriptures, the
Revelation, Yahveh revealed unto the Apostle John, that, at the end, in that location would be war among the nations, saying, "And the nations were angry, and they wrath is come, and the time of the dead that they should exist judged, and that g shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the Saints…and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth." [Rev. 11:eighteen.]
But equally the Scriptures are explicit equally to the end of the historic period being at war, so is also stated that of Armageddon. In the Revelation, it is recorded that John saw "three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the oral fissure of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the animal, and out of the mouth of the
fake prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth, and
of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of
that great day of Yahveh the Almighty. And He gathered them into a identify chosen, in the Hebrew tongue, Armageddon." [Rev. 16:13-16.]
The location of the final battle has been here named equally "Armageddon." The only place in the Kodesh state, past this proper name, is that located in the plains of Esdralon, disregarded past the hills of Megeddo, about fifty miles northwest of the
city of Jerusalem. Armageddon in Bible History is noted every bit the scene of many decisive battles, and a pocket-sized stream, as well as a village, bear the name. The proper name dates far dorsum into the annals of history, and it is thought that the name originated from the famous boxing fought by Gideon and the 300 faithful, who overcame the
thousands of their enemies by the power of Yahveh.
From diverse scriptural texts, also as by the
fact that the word "Gideon" carries the meaning of "the Sword of Yah", the proper noun "Armageddon", as the site of the concluding earth boxing, brings to our minds the promised presence of the power of Yahveh, who with all his Kodesh angels, shall fight for his chosen people once once again, and for all time. In this boxing His honor and righteousness shall prevail over sin, and the agents of sin, by the ability of the Almighty. Armageddon volition exist the decisive boxing for right, and the end
for the powers of this globe, which have been, and are, against the power of the Omnipotent.
Some take often questioned me here at Smyrna concerning the nations which shall engage in the battle of Armageddon, wondering if our United states shall exist a participant in
this struggle. We need not wonder, for the Bible prophecy foretells that our nation shall be in that engagement. Listen! "Behold, the day of Yahveh cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle." [Zech. 14:ane-ii.]
As we read above, John gave u.s.a. the revelation of the end time in which demonical propaganda would issue forth from the spokesman (or spokeswoman) of the 3 world
powers, deceiving men, and leading nations, all of them without any exception, to the battlefield of Armageddon. Please read information technology again in Rev. 16:13, so that you may understand perfectly, and not be deceived.
Since all nations have never been gathered at Armageddon, confronting Jerusalem in battle, in all past history, and since Scripture prophecy foretells that such be the case, and no prophecy always fails, then our nation must exist among those who get against the Kodesh City in battle, and shall be in the keen and decisive battle at Armageddon, wherein Yahveh shall take an active part, and shall "get forth and fight confronting those nations as when He fought in the days of battle."
[Verse 3.] At that day Yahshua, who ascended into heaven, shall return, of whom the angels prophesied, maxim, "This same Yahshua which is taken up from y'all into heaven, shall and so come in similar manner equally you have seen him go." He ascended from the mount of Olives, and the Discussion says that, at the time when all nations are gathered against Jerusalem to battle, "His feet shall stand in that twenty-four hours upon the mount of Olives." [Poetry 4.]
Although Zechariah has foretold plainly that "all nations" shall come up against Jerusalem, yet the prophet Ezekiel as well foretells the battle of Armageddon, and, in improver, names many nations which will participate in that engagement. In his prophecy, Yahveh hath said. "I am confronting thee, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal…I will bring thee forth, and all thine regular army…Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya
with them…Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands; and many people with thee…In the Latter years one thousand shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of State of israel…to the land of unwalled villages…to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, and are dwelling without walls,
having neither bars nor gates, to take a spoil, and
to have a prey… [but, note this] …Sheba and Dedan, and the
merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof shall say unto thee, Art one thousand come up to take a spoil? Hast thou gathered thy visitor to take a prey? To deport away silverish and gilded, to accept away the cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? [Ezek. 38:ane-13. See Rotherham's version.]
At this indicate we consider the identity of those opposing forces which shall confront one some other at Armageddon. First, Gog, that power from the "north parts", "out of the due north" [from Palestine]. "Main Prince" is in many versions translated equally Rosh, or Rush, from the Hebrew word RS, and without taking prohibitive freedom could be Russia. Within this northern Gog are associated nations now well within
the sphere of Russian federation's influence, and destined to become more than then–such as, Persia [Iran] Ethiopia, Gomer [eastern Germany?], and "many peoples", such as the
Mongolian [Japhetic] people making up the U.Southward.S.R. This power comes southward into Palestine from "the northward quarters" like a "deject to comprehend the land" [great fleets of warplanes to shadow the ground] and with "many horsemen." Information technology is said today that the Russian airpower and cavalry are unsurpassed. Today Russia is retaining her formidable cavalry while other nations are discarding cavalry for their motorized armored infantry. Also, if the reader will look at an sometime Bible map showing the locations of the people after Noah'due south flood, it will be seen that Magog, Meschech and Tubal, grandsons of Noah by Japheth, settled in that region at present occupied by Russian federation. Thus, all earmarks of this prophecy point to Russia equally the Armageddon invader.
In the opposing army camp are to exist found those chosen "the merchants of Tarshish and the immature lions thereof." Slap-up Britain from old time has been pictured by discussion and pen equally the "mother lion", and here associate nations as "lion
cubs." The writer has before him ii cartoons from
daily papers thus picturing England and her commonwealth of nations.
As belatedly every bit June xvi, 1941, Winston Churchill, in a broadcast to America, referred to England in these words: "And now the Old Lion, with her Cubs at her side, stands alone against hunters who are armed with deadly weapons." Thus
today moderns refer to Britain by these figures of speech, but as Ezekiel depicted the opposing ability against Gog as the sometime lions with the young lions. Then, likewise, England is indicated past the term "Merchants of Tarshish." Tarshish was the merchant nation of ancient times, and the "Merchants of Tarshish" sailed the "ships of Tarshish" over the "Sea of Tarshish" [now the Mediterranean] to gather wares for sale in the port of Palestine. Ezekiel refers to this merchandizing power in these words: "Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches; with silvery, iron, tin, and pb they traded in thy fairs." Information technology is a historical fact
easily verified, that these bolt were produced in aboriginal times in the British Isles, and that only in Cornwall, England, was can to be establish in the Bible times. And so the "Merchants of Tarshish" carried tin, in their ships, over their sea from Cornwall to their port [now Haifi], and sold it to Israel.
Thus, at Armageddon, will the Japhetic invaders from the due north come face to face with the Semitic peoples, comprised in corking office past descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel, the merchant nations of Europe, under the leadership of United kingdom and the English peoples. At that fourth dimension "all nations" shall see Yahveh defend His land, and protect His people. And it will not be the navies, armies, or air forces, of Britain, the United states of americaA., or any allied nation, which volition bring to zippo that mighty power from the n;
but Yahveh of Hosts shall descend Himself and arbitrate in behalf of State of israel. He shall utilise, as in old time, His powers of nature, pestilences, and His Kodesh Angels, that His people may be delivered; and that they may give Him the glory due to His Matchless Name. And, beloved reader, that time called
"the latter days" is at hand. Discover the prophecy by Ezekiel, wherein it states that these nations shall come against the Israel people, gathered from all nations into the land which was in one case desolate, merely now inhabited. Notice the invaders from the north come to accept a prey from those who are now at peace and increased with cattle, goods, golden, silver, the riches of this earth. This could not have happened while the Jewish people of Israel were scattered into all nations, but it must be in a solar day when they have been gathered from all nations into their own land [Palestine] and home
safely in villages without walls, in the "last days" of the age.
In past ages the people of Israel dwelt in towns, or cities, with high walls and stiff fe gates, but at present it is not so. The Jewish people who have returned to Palestine are dwelling in unwalled villages, towns, and cities, similar to our
ain. The new cities are modern in every way. The Jewish people in time volition wax rich, in cattle, goods, gold and silver, and in "oil" for the Kodesh Land is potentially i of the richest oil fields of the earth, and all nations covet its possession. The banks of Palestine will be total of money taken there by the Jews driven from other nations and Jews of all nations who volition invest in the new nation.
The country will prosper and unemployment is destined to disappear. Yah's favor is upon it, and it is, even now, rapidly preparing for the conditions wherein information technology must be constitute when "all nations" come against it to boxing.
All prophetical students should sentinel Palestine, and the movements of all the nations in regard to this prophetic
land. The day that Yahshua stands with his feet once more upon the mountain of Olives will be that 24-hour interval when all nations get together against His people Israel, regathered from among all nations where in by ages Yah had scattered them.
Prophecy cannot be understood without watching Israel and the Kodesh Land.
The prophet Zechariah states that in the battle of Armageddon, when the nations come against Jerusalem, "Then Yahveh will go forth and fight confronting those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle." [Ch. 14:3.] As we consider the ways Yah has fought in past ages for His
chosen people, and against the enemies of Israel, we larn that He volition cause them to fight against one another, send pestilences amid them, rained burn down down from heaven upon him, and used His angels to fight against them. In this battle He volition fight in the same manner. Zechariah prophesied that "They shall lay hold every one on the mitt of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise upwards confronting the hand of his neighbor." "And this shall exist the plague wherewith Yahveh will smite all the people who fight against Jerusalem; their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their anxiety, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongues shall consume
away in their oral fissure." [Ch. 14:13.] Ezekiel says that in this battle Yahveh will take an active part, and states that there will be a great earthquake at that time, "a great shaking in the country of Israel; then that the fishes of the ocean, and the fowls of the heavens, and the beast of the filed, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at My presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep identify shall autumn, and every wall shall fall to the ground." [Ezek. 38
:19, 20.] The Revelation says that "The cities of the nations roughshod." [Rev. xvi:10]. Ezekiel continues saying that in the battle, "I will call for a sword confronting him [the Northern Invader] throughout all my mountains, saith Yahveh, every man's sword shall be against his brother. And I will plead against him [the Invaders from the North] with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing pelting, and great hailstones, burn down and brimstone." [Ezek. 38:21, 22.]
For vii months after this battle of Armageddon the people of Israel shall be burying the multitudes of slain ones in the valley, which shall then be chosen "Hamongog", or the multitude of Gog. [Ezek. 39:12-15.] For vii years the
people of State of israel shall burn the implements and weapons of war which were left upon the battlefield when the armies of Gog were destroyed. [Ezek. 39:9-10.]
After the boxing is over, the slain buried, the weapons burned, shall come peace, a existent peace which the world has long looked for but never seen. A peace that simply the "Prince of Peace" can give, a peace wherein Yahveh shall "approximate
among the nations, and shall rebuke many people, and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore." [Isa. two:4.]
In that day Yahshua shall be the King of all kings and Ruler of all rulers, and "Yahshua shall be King over all the earth", the twelve apostles "shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel", [Matt. 19:28.] and the saints who have been faithful unto death shall live and reign with the
Messiah a one thousand years "on the earth." [Rev. 20:6; v:10.]
My dear friends, even though the war clouds are gathering at present, and all nations are feverishly preparing for the great world conflict which is just before us, and through which we are destined to go, remember that it shall non ever be so.
The Prince of Peace is coming and the many nations of this world will become the i kingdom of Yahveh. A world filled with peace, joy, dearest, happiness, wellness and everlasting life will then result from the righteous reign of the righteous King.
The Jews are looking for their Messiah, and we are looking for the return of Yahshua; and He shall come up, and all expectations shall be realized in the person of this Male monarch of kings, the Prince of Peace. May Yahveh Bless you, all my honey friends and Smyrna students and church member's, so that in that Kingdom of righteousness y'all may also take a function.
