It's over

 

And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh. - Revelation 19:19-21

 

Finally, Satan and his armies are defeated. In a silly and vain last attempt to overthrow God, Satan musters all of his forces against God and His armies, or so Satan thinks. Every army on the face of the faith is finally united against one common enemy. Their guns and tanks and nuclear weapons and whatever weapons will be developed are pointed toward heaven and they really think they have a shot.

 

But BOOM, its all over. God speaks His word and everyone dies. Done and dusted. Sinn sinn.

 

After this we get a kind of reboot, but this current world system is at an end. The beast and the false prophet are cast into the lake of fire.

 

All the rest are killed by the word that comes out Jesus’ mouth. Once again He could say ‘it is finished.’

 

The world seems pretty confident that victory is theirs, but it is all in vain.

 

When things get tough today we can rest in the confidence that the battle is not ours, but the Lord’s. One day our day will come. To borrow a phrase from Irish - Tiocfaidh ár lá
