Daily Devotional, Year 3 – July 4

.

Strong Delusion In Scripture,

.

Part 9:

“The Goodly Horse In Battle: the Church?”

To read part 1, go here…Daily Devotional, Year 2 – April 27 (Strong Delusion in Scripture)

.

“Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds,

and I punished the goats:

for the LORD of hosts hath visited

His flock the house of Judah,

and hath made them as His goodly horse in the battle.

And they shall be as mighty men,

which tread down their enemies

in the mire of the streets in the battle:

and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them…”

Zechariah 10:3

.

This above verse reveals a wonderful truth concerning, not only God’s people, but also about the spiritual meaning of horses in Scripture.

.

Here we see that God compares His people to a “goodly horse in battle”.

.

The question to be asked and answered today is this: “is God merely speaking of literal Judah? Or is he speaking of His faithful Elect, made of both Jewish Believers as well as gentile Believers?”

THE TWELVE TRIBES: THE CHURCH-ELECT

.

Well, for the answer to this question, the Bible should be consulted…“James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations…” James 1:1, 2

.

Here we see that the New Testament writer, James, is addressing his letter to the “twelve tribes, scattered abroad.” And by reading this little book it becomes evident that it is written to ALL true Believers, and not to the literal twelve tribes.

REJECTORS OF SPIRITUAL ISRAEL

.

Now such an idea as this flies in the face of current conventional wisdom which has mostly rejected the spiritual Commonwealth of Israel, made up of both Jews and gentiles alike!

.

Yes, today’s apostate church-world has even invented their own derogatory name to shamefully hang around the necks of all who have accepted Paul’s many references to the Church Elect as being the “Commonwealth of Israel” (Ephesians 2:12).

REPLACEMENT THEOLOGIANS

.

You see, these erring men in today’s church-world often indignantly and haughtily tag them as, “Replacement Theologians”, being ignorant of the fact that it is actually God, through Paul, who first established the wonderful spiritual truth of who comprises the “Israel of God.” Galatians 6:16

.

And so, without realizing it, these erring leaders are actually accusing both Paul and God of being “Replacement Theologians”!

.

But if they truly feared God, they would stay a million miles away from such an accusation, even if it has been borne out of ignorance!

A JEW INWARDLY, NOT OUTWARDLY

.

But listen to Paul…“For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. Romans 2:28, 29

.

**This above passage is just one of many, in which Paul redefines just who is the true “Israel of God” (see Galatians 6:16).**

But let’s return to this “Goodly Horse in battle”.

.

GOODLY HORSE CONSTELLATION

.

If we look into the winter night-sky, this horse can be seen treading upon the tail of the great Revelation 12 Dragon.

.

Here is a heavenly confirmation of this biblical truth! Here we see the victorious army of Heaven, as it bruises the great red dragon, Satan, under its feet, as written…“for the LORD of hosts hath visited His flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as His goodly horse in the battle…And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them…” Zechariah 10:3, 5

.

Now again, those who have been thoroughly indoctrinated into this false doctrine that rejects the spiritual nature of Israel, cannot understand that Judah actually represents all Believers, both Jew and gentile alike.

.

GOD BRUISES SATAN UNDER CHURCH’S FEET

.

But listen as God clearly defines which horse it is that bruises Satan under his feet.

.

Listen…“And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.” Romans 16:20

.

Now who is it that bruises Satan under his feet?

.

Oh yes, it is God who bruises Satan. But Satan is bruised under the feet of the Church-Elect.

.

THE HORSE & ITS RIDER

.

Now if the Reader will really study the night-sky, it can be seen that this Goodly Horse Constellation has a Rider upon it!

.

And this Rider is a no less a personage than that of the Spirit of Christ!

.

But this Rider is such a faint constellation (mostly made of the Camelopardalis Constellation), that it must be viewed on a really dark, clear night.

.

But doesn’t that agree with the Bible? In other words, the Spirit of Christ is so gentle and unobtrusive, that it is hard to detect His presence in the Believer’s life!

CHURCH VEILED IN SYMBOLISM

Well, this horse in the Book of Revelation is just another example of how God has placed His Church-Elect within the pages of the Book of Revelation, yet veiled in symbolism.

.

But to those truth-seekers who truly love the Bible, it may be said…“And He (Jesus) said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.” Luke 8:10

REVELATION (ALL 22 CHAPTERS) FOR THE CHURCH

.

Well, the Good News is, that we have a very wonderful and forgiving God.

.

And all those who fear and tremble at His Word will be delighted to discover that the Book of Revelation, all 22 chapters, is very much for today’s Church-Elect, made of both Jew and gentile alike!

.

And together, these truth-seeking ones will be the Lord’s, “Goodly Horse in battle; and they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them…”

and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True,

and in righteousness He doth judge and make war.”

GOODLY HORSE IN BATTLE CONSTELLATION

.

“Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.” Micah 4:13

.

BIBLE VERSES PICTURED IN THE HEAVENS

“With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.” Ezekiel 26:12

THIS STAR-CHART: Notice how the right front hoof is trampling on the tail of the Dragon. Also notice his eye is a star.

.

It’s best seen when in the western half of the sky. It is found in mid-sky traveling from east to west. In January, it is in the west after midnight. As winter progresses, it can be seen earlier and earlier in the evening. a dark sky with good star-visibility is best, but not absolutely necessary to see this constellation.

.

It is found on the opposite side of the Dragon Constellation from Orion. And as already stated, this Glorious Horse Constellation can be seen best in mid-winter when it is in the western side of the sky, and you are looking at it while you are facing west.

.

**The nose and head of this horse is partly made from the Perseus Constellation.**

.

**The tail and rear end is partly of the Cassiopeia Constellation. The hind-leg is made partly of stars from the Andromeda Constellation.**
