Prayer: Father, You are prophesying quite a day when you declare the complete devastation of Babylon and how it will come about. Your Word is true and accurate. Amen.
Reading: Jeremiah 51 key: vs. 1-2 “Thus says Adonai: “Look! Stirring up against Babylon and those living in Leb-kamai, a spirit of destruction. I will send strangers to Babylon to scatter her and empty her land. For in the day of trouble they will be against her all around.” TLV
Attention: I have mentioned in a former journal of a time in and around 1979, of visiting Disneyland. They had at that time, and exhibit which featured a robotic Abraham Lincoln, which arose from sitting in a chair, to address the audience. Near the conclusion of his speech, he made a prophetic statement which has stayed with my mind. He said (paraphrasing), that America would never be taken from outside, but if it were ever taken, it would be from within.
We see in America today, what Adonai prophesied about Babylon. “I will send strangers to Babylon.” Those strangers were Chaldeans, those who lived within the borders adjacent (to the northwest) of Babylon proper. They were already inside and had easy movement of access.
Never have we witnessed a flooding and crossing of our borders by “strangers” from other nations. Our legal system has prepared the way for entry into America by those who are entering under the pretense of being asylum seekers. The process appears to be an intentional action for a variety of subversive reasons. Soon, we may discover the true intentions of these actions by our governing leaders.
The bottom line regarding the declaration of Adonai to Jeremiah is that God fulfills His word. Babylon was subdued and destroyed in apocalyptic terms. The book of Revelation is the prophecy of Adonai, given to the apostle John which is of an apocalyptic nature surrounding the return of Messiah. Destruction and war are key ingredients served upon the evil and wicked. Satan will experience his final defeat. The final judgement will determine eternity for everyone and there will be a New Heaven and a New Earth.
I hope your name is written in the Book of Life (Revelation 20:11-15). This is the key element of eternal destiny. Is your name found in the Book of Life? I encourage you to make sure today by calling on His name and by following Him the rest of your days on earth.
Action: I choose to call on Messiah (Romans 10:13) and then live faithfully for Him.
Yield: I choose to live a submitted life unto Messiah in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Engage: I choose to engage with the Holy Spirit in living in power.
Relationship: I choose to live in holy obedience with Adonai.
Prayer: Father, the battles on earth seem clearly manifestations of battles in the heavenlies. Spiritual warfare is real and played out on earth as it is in the heavenlies. Help us to see that our struggles are not flesh and blood, “but against the rulers, against the powers, against the worldly forces of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Help me to take up Your armor every day. Amen.
Memory Verse: Ephesians 6:10-12 “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you are able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the worldly forces of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” TLV Music Video: Danny Gokey—Stay Strong
