“Yeshua, lightning flashing from His eyes, sword glistening in readiness, prepares to burst triumphantly into His holy city. Enemy forces rave while Satan, prince of evil, wickedly plots to prevent the King’s arrival.
Israel stands at the apex of this great battle. This battle is not political, as some might think; neither is it economic. Yet, it is the greatest battle raging in our world today. The armies gathered against Israel are not only natural; they are spiritually empowered armies. The forces of light and the forces of darkness are fiercely contending for Israel’s chief joy — its capital city of Jerusalem – the city of the great King (Matthew 5:35).
The Lord’s trumpets blast! Warriors, wake up! March quickly to Jerusalem! The final battle is beginning . . .
Warriors of the King, clothed with an unmistakable armor of light, gather together under one banner. It is the banner of the King; describing both His character and rule. His warriors know the banner well and have marched faithfully; never departing from its unfurled, holy presence. Only one Word is inscribed on this, the most majestic flag ever to appear on earth. Each gloriously clothed soldier reflects the radiance and reality of that one Word. The Word, flying preeminently above all others, reads the message:
“LOVE”
Love is one ingredient missing before the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to Jerusalem – love, that is – for His people, the Jews. Love is the one message from Christians that Jews, specifically, need to see demonstrated that will prepare their hearts to say:
“Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.”
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord”
–Matthew 23:37-39
