Ephesians 6:11-12
King James Version
11 Put on the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities,
against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Any war is a spiritual war.
And we happen to be ignorant on many fronts.
Much as man refuses to think so.
We think the enemy before us is real.
What is more real is the enemy BEHIND the enemy.
The one who thought up all that war.
Who do we think that is?
Do we really think Israel is battling Ham and Hez alone?
Do we really think they're battling Iran, and other allies alone?
Do we really think any battle can be won by ourselves?
That's why Satan's laughing.
Even as he, himself, has a "serious learning disability".
Man has no idea who he's really fighting.
Neither has he any idea who instigated the wars.
Much less know he's a pawn in all these.
A spiritual battle is quite simple.
There are only two fighting it.
Satan fighting against GOD.
The least, took on the GREATEST.
The created, took on the CREATOR.
Which is a no-win situation.
The enemy is truly deluded.
And because he cannot defeat GOD, he uses "proxies".
He uses men, and particularly women.
He even "jumbled" all the genders.
Which resulted in even more perverse thinking.
Corruption reaching the core and marrow of our being.
And we wonder why we get sick.
Mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually.
With Satan at its core.
Now, turn everything around.
Imagine you're born again.
Being taught by the HOLY SPIRIT.
Following the LORD's commands.
Believing in JESUS.
How can you possibly lose?
Not content with defiling us, the enemy went for the jugular.
He wants to destroy Israel.
He assembled all the envy, and hatred, among people.
Israel is successful, because GOD made her successful.
She is GOD's holy nation.
Anyone who fights against Israel fights GOD.
Anyone who challenges Israel, challenges GOD.
How do you think GOD will respond to such attacks?
Yes, Israel is far from perfect.
She has sinned many times against GOD.
She hasn't acknowledged JESUS as Messiah.
But she has not lost GOD's love for her.
He chose her for His own, perfect purpose.
He judges her, as He sees fit.
You think Israel had it easy?
She has caused herself to stumble too often.
Her idolatrous nature invited GOD's wrath constantly.
But GOD's love prevails.
This is the real battle.
Between GOD, and Satan.
Between Israel, and the world.
Between love for GOD, and love for self.
Satan will manipulate your mind.
He will feed on your emotions.
Especially if you are harboring lust, greed, pride, envy, and vanity.
He will fuel your heart with hatred.
He will fill your mind with malice.
He will feed your soul with envy.
He will give you illusions and delusions of power.
Why else these wars?
World domination is simply a lust for power.
It's all pride, lust, greed, ego, vanity, delusion.
All the while, Satan gloats.
He has infiltrated the minds of men.
He has corrupted the women.
He has made the men corrupt the women.
He has made women corrupt the men.
Worse, they're headed for the children.
Incurring JESUS' wrath.
The LORD warned all of us:
Matthew 18:6-7
King James Version
6 But whoso shall offend
one of these little ones which believe in me,
it were better for him that a millstone
were hanged about his neck,
and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 Woe unto the world because of offences!
for it must needs be that offences come;
but woe to that man
by whom the offence cometh!
Neither can you touch Israel:
Zechariah 2:8
King James Version
8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts;
After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations
which spoiled you:
for he that toucheth you
toucheth the apple of his eye.
GOD expressed His love for Israel:
Genesis 12:3
King James Version
3 And I will bless them that bless thee,
and curse him that curseth thee:
and in thee shall all families of the earth
be blessed.
So, when I look at all the wars, I can only shake my head at man's ignorance.
For they know not who leads them to their destruction.
If GOD leads you, you will surely experience life, and victory.
If you let Satan lead you, expect death, and defeat.
GOD will always lead you to heaven.
Satan will always lead you to hell.
Or eternal fire?
You choose.
