We are preparing for Christmas! We celebrate the birth of Jesus as a human being. Babies seem so peaceful and calm. Yet even at Jesus first coming, the enemy sought to destroy Him, the Savior of the world [1]. The Advent, or Coming of Jesus is accompanied by spiritual warfare.
Jesus birth however, was only one of two Comings prophesied.
We are on the verge of Jesus second Advent! And this Coming will be accompanied with a cataclysmic battle which will dwarf anything we have ever seen. It will be the ultimate battle between good and evil!
At this time, the realm of darkness including Satan and his demons will be ranged alongside mankind's society in actively opposing the second Coming of the Messiah. This opposition has already started. This is a time of Satan's wrath, and he makes war on the church [2].
Christians will be on Messiah's side. We fight against Satan. But we are only a little flock, we do not have great power of our own. We need God and His angels to fight on our behalf [3]. We stand and watch as Jesus overcomes the enemy of our souls.
The enemy is out for our destruction. Right now he is plotting how to take us down. But we are on the Lord's side [4]. And He will ensure our victory. God is faithful, and will not allow the enemy to succeed [5].
But time is running out. It is timeprepare for this cataclysmic battle, which will be global as well as personal. It is time to make ourselves ready.
