There was a lot of talk going on about which team was the best or who was going to win and everyone was picking a team. We went over to some friends’ house to watch the game. Both teams fought very hard and it looked like either team could win. After the game there were some happy faces because their team had been victorious, but others were sad because their team had lost.
That game reminded me of some future events and another battle, (not a game) that is going to be fought in the future. Prior to Christ’s return to the earth things will get very bad. There will be many worldwide record-breaking disasters like earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and tornados. Worldwide lawlessness and disorder and the rise and dominion of the Antichrist will occur (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4). Many will be deceived and worship the Antichrist and be led astray (Hebrews 3:12, Revelation chapter 13).
The nation of Israel will be persecuted and many will rise up against her and no other nation will stand with her (Matthew 24:3-12). At that time, Christ Jesus will return to earth with his angels and there is to be one great battle (Revelation chapter 19). It will be the battle of all battles. Guess what? Our side wins! If you are trusting Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, you are on the Lord’s team (John 1:12).
See you in Church next Sunday. Brother J
