Daily Devotional, Year 3 – April 6

.

Apocalypse NOW!

.

Part 15:

“Perfect Peace In The Fire!”

To read Part 1, click here…AUGUST 3 (Apocalypse Now! Part 1: Silencing the Gospel!)

.

“And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire:

and them that had gotten the victory over the beast,

and over his image, and over his mark,

and over the number of his name,

stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.”

Revelation 15:2

.

Those who consider themselves to be “Dispensationalists” are in a very sad and dangerous situation, to say the least!

.

They cannot enjoy all the wonderful hidden gems of truth which are veiled within parables and allegories!

.

And as a result, they are missing out on truths that are critically important in these last hours!

.

REVELATION CLOSED UP

And one of those areas which Satan has deprived them of, is the Book of Revelation.

.

They have a totally non-biblical hermeneutic which demands a literal interpretation of Scripture, unless context demands a spiritual interpretation, and has all but closed up Revelation for them!

.

For instance, when they see “Jew” in Revelation, they can only assign that name to literal Jews after the flesh, and not to those who are a “Jew inwardly”, as it refers to Christians so often in Romans, and other places.

“ALL SCRIPTURE PROFITABLE”

But for those who know that everything in Scripture is to be understood spiritually, the Book of Revelation becomes just as relevant as, say, the writings of Paul!

.

Listen to Paul…“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” 2nd Timothy 3:16

.

Here is revealed that every verse of the Bible is relevant to our spiritual growth!

REVELATION IS FOR NOW!

.

Now why even bring this up?

.

Well, so-called “Dispensationalists” (as they refer to themselves), have “put far away the Evil Day.” (see Amos 6:3)

.

They do not understand that Revelation is for the Church at any time in history!

.

A CLIMACTIC FINALE!

.

Oh yes, there will be a great and fearful climactic fulfillment at the very end.

.

But Revelation is also about “the things that are”. (see Revelation 1:19)

.

**In other words, Revelation is not only about the “things which shall be hereafter”, but also about, “the things which are” happening right now! (Revelation 1:19)**

So what does this all have to do with today’s devotional, titled “Perfect Peace in the Fire”?

.

FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY

.

**Very simple! By putting far away the evil day, a great portion of the Church has been misled into thinking that they can enjoy, “peace and safety” when the Bible clearly says…**

“from the prophet even unto the priest

every one dealeth falsely.

For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people slightly,

saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace!”

Jeremiah 8:10, 11

THE CHURCH ASLEEP

.

And so, the end result of this great error in the Church is that the professed people of God, to a great extent, have no idea that a spiritual battle is raging all around them!

.

And to make matters even worse, their leaders have caused them to err by leading them to think that they are going to completely miss out on the battle!

.

Yes, their leaders have deceived them into the unbiblical notion that by being “Raptured” out of this world just prior to the great Day of Almighty God!

.

Consequently, the Church, to a great extent, has been lulled to sleep in “the evil day!” Amos 6:3 & Ephesians 6:13

.

ARMOR SHOULD BE ON!

.

But the Bible repeatedly warns Christians… “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore…” Ephesians 6:13, 14

.

As this passage and many others declare, the evil day is now!

.

Satan and his vast armies are stealing a march at every turn upon these naive and unsuspecting churchgoers!

.

And while God’s professed people are enthusiastically pursuing the pleasures and cares of this present world, the Enemy of Souls is busy night and day, making sure that each and every churchgoer and their children will be totally bankrupt when standing before the Judge on that fearful day of reckoning!

.

Well, all this information has not yet addressed the main point of today’s devotional.

.

So by the grace of God, it will be dealt with in tomorrow’s devotional.

LOOSING THE BANDS OF ORION

.

God spoke several times of Orion, in Scripture. His question to Job was a very mystifying question, to say the least… “Canst thou…loose the bands of Orion?” Job 38:31. Such a strange question, indeed! How could a constellation have its bands loosed, much less, even have bands? Puzzling, puzzling!

.

But now, He is revealing this bright and beautiful constellation in a way that has never before been seen. God Himself is loosing Orion’s bands, as He is just now unraveling this age-old mystery. And we are beginning to understand that this most infamous of all constellations is nothing less than a remarkable metaphor concerning Jesus.

MICHAEL, THE SOLDIER

.

Last is Michael the Soldier, who battles against the Dragon: “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.” Revelation 12:7, 8.

.

Contrary to popular opinion, Michael here represents Christ as He battles this dragon. This will be adequately proven in this article and in various other sections of this website. No, Christ is not merely an angel. Christ is very eternal God. But Christ is often represented as various entities, such as a rose, or a burning bush, as well as many others things in the Bible.
