and he who is living, and I did become dead, and, lo, I am living to the ages of the ages. Amen! and I have the keys of the hades and of the death. (rev1, ylt)
another translation:
and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades. (rev1, nas )
Just a reminder that we are told, and it has been confirmed in a vision, who indeed has the authority over all things,(ch 1 of Rev ch 4 & 5 of Rev, even Hebrew 4-10 ) He has the keys. He has the keys to death (physically and spiritually), and the keys to hades, the UNSEEN world. What does that mean to you? what does that mean to the world?
Because of this we ought to rest heavily in Him and trust Him forevermore, to the ages of the ages. Jesus has overcome the world and has the deed title to it, regardless of those who understand it, regardless of those who would deny it, regardless of those who seek their own means. The battle He is waging is in the unseen world, not physical man, and His sovereignty tells us that He will conquer and subdue these unseen things. What does that struggle looks like from our perspective?
fear, doubt, panic, lack of love, hate, divisiveness, people going astray into self-satisfactions, relying/resting on other so-called gods (idols) within one's heart, following lies and deception...this is why we rest in the great Commanding Officer and follow His commands in this battle..
10As to the rest, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might;
11put on the whole armour of God, for your being able to stand against the wiles of the devil,
12because we have not the wrestling with blood and flesh, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual things of the evil in the heavenly places;
13because of this take ye up the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the day of the evil, and all things having done — to stand.
14Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about in truth, and having put on the breastplate of the righteousness,
15and having the feet shod in the preparation of the good-news of the peace;
16above all, having taken up the shield of the faith, in which ye shall be able all the fiery darts of the evil one to quench, 17and the helmet of the salvation receive, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the saying of God,
18through all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and in regard to this same, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints
psalm 24
1The earth is the LORD’S, and all it contains
The world, and those who dwell in it.
2For He has founded it upon the seas
And established it upon the rivers.
3Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD?
And who may stand in His holy place?
4He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood
And has not sworn deceitfully.
5He shall receive a blessing from the LORD
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6This is the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek Your face—even Jacob.
Comfort those around who are lost. Reassure them even if they don't understand or believe Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life, and HAS THE KEYS. We don't need to explain why, He just IS. I say these things to this family here because only very few of the people I know around me even think or know or understand the time of the end. I stopped letting the enemy create worry within me anymore about a left behind event and people in that. That is not what He called us to do.
People need to hear what we KNOW to be Truth about this world and what we have been told what to do. Jesus has overcome the world!! Pray to be that soldier who can speak the sword of Truth of God, and share the knowledge of the armor He is. God loved the WORLD so much that He sent His Son to overcome the Sin of the World. And He did it! This isn't going well for the darknesses of the world who know there is only a little time left to deceive mankind. For JESUS is this Armor now for the flesh. Praise God for that! Lead people to this uniform of Jesus. Their heart, mind, walk, and protection will be strengthened. ALL have the Armor at hand, just need to know it is there!
