“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.”

In Revelation 19, the battle is set. Here is the Antichrist and his armies. They have come to make war on Heaven’s King. But this is laughable. Jesus, followed by the armies of Heaven, is coming this time not for His Church, but this time with His Church after the seven years of the Great Tribulation. Here’s the Antichrist, this braggart, with his followers, speaking blasphemies, ready to make war with Jesus. And the battle ensues, the moment of anticipation has come, but it’s over with two words. Jesus says, “Drop dead.” He destroys them with the sword that goes out of His mouth. (See Revelation 19:21.) His word, the same word that spoke them into existence, will speak them into oblivion.
Take time today to read Genesis 1 and John 1; reflect on the truth and power of Jesus as God’s Word.
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
