Today's Message: Ready For Battle
The Battle of Armageddon will be unlike any kind of war that we have ever endured here on earth. The only way to endure Armageddon or any battle that we get or have gotten ourselves into is through Jesus Christ. Are you ready for battle?

The Battle of Armageddon (fall of Babylon, the false church) will be a battle between good and evil, in other words God vs Satan and this time Satan is not going to win. After the angel had declared the fall of Babylon, a voice from heaven had called the people of God out of her, and had ordered them to take vengeance on her. “And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.” - Revelation 19:1-4. The word Alleluia is an Hebrew word, which signifies "praise ye the Lord". At this time the Jews will be converted, and all Jews and Gentiles will become one church state, and will worship and praise the Lord together, for the word is a call upon the saints to join together in solemn praise and thanksgiving to the Lord for His righteous judgments on His and His church's enemies. Recognizing the Lord in our daily circumstances will soon cause our whole life to take on a new dimension. We will experience a satisfaction which the worldly minded cannot comprehend. Saying "Alleluia" is an acknowledgment that we are really thanking Him, praising Him, and are satisfied with His arrangements.

When the forces of the Antichrist ride against the KING OF KINGS and His armies, there will be no contest. The King is armed only with the sharp sword that comes out of His mouth, that is the power of the Word of God and all the evil armies we be slain.“And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.” - Revelation 19:17-21. The angel, has reference to the "carrion" (dead and putrefying flesh) and carnage of the great battle about to take place. So mighty is the Lord in battle that it will take a multitude of fowl to clean up the battlefield upon which His enemies die. The beast along with the false prophet are cast alive into the Lake of Fire, this time Satan himself is cast into the bottomless pit for a thousand Years. These two men, the civil and religious leaders of the league of nations against God, are cast alive into this horrible torment where a thousand years later they are still said to be suffering the vengeance of eternal flame.

One more battle takes place before the end of all evil, Satan, and the earth, “And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever...........And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” - Revelation 20:7-10, 12-15.
All who knowingly reject Christ and deceive the lost will be cast alive into hell. Everyone will go before God and will be judged for their works (this is not works of Salvation as no one can work for their Salvation) but by whether or not we have accepted Christ as our Savior. Those who have not accepted Christ will not be found written in the book of life and will be cast into the lake of fire along with Satan, the false prophet, and all those who rejected Him. This battle will completely destroy the entire earth, so, no matter how many people try to come together to save the planet they can not stop this from happening. However, they can stop ignoring God's warning and take the necessary steps needed to be able to withstand this war. It's simple, and only has one step, Jesus Christ. He is the truth, the life, and No one has to sit there and suffer endlessly, all suffering can and will subside as long as we put our faith and trust in Jesus Christ.

Yes, I know all this it is a scary thought, but Praise the Lord that all who have accepted Christ as their Savior are written in the book of life and are saved from this horrible fate. As long as we are on this earth we can warn and teach others the importance of accepting Jesus into their lives. How joyful it will be for those who do repent and accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord of their lives to see again their loved ones and all the saints that we have read about in the Bible. No one has to be cast into the fire, we all have a chance to be written in the book of life. Today, we can join the saints of all the ages and say, Alleluia!" We are saved!

Have a wonderful and blessed day/night
God Bless You,
Christina
