Right without Might

"Not by might, not by power," you are for certain
going to want to take this in today, because we
are going to tie together great distance in Bible
prophecy, and great presence of Judgment, as we
are exploring this week about the proper nature,
use and place of judging in a Christian's life.

So we begin with pain, which must be a part of all
lives, it doesn't matter how good that life is,
or how bad that life is, in every life, there is
pain; of some form or fashion. It might not be
physical pain, although those come and go, it
might be emotional pain, which can last a while
and then sometimes, can go away; hopefully, it
goes away. It can be spiritual pain, which is
a strange and deep longing in the soul...my
belief, is that John the disciple of Jesus
knew that kind of pain; as he reflected back
on the wonder of Jesus whom he loved- who he
watched die, who he watched rise again, who
ate with him after the resurrection, Jesus who
in chastizing Peter, from a perspective of love,
told John he'd outlast them all, and he did.
John who, at the age of 70 or 75 years old was
quarrying rock for the very enemies roads, who
destroyed his savior so cruelly upon their
cross; who beat Him, who crowned Him with
thorns; John's Jesus, who he loved so deeply;
they couldn't break John; so they had to respect
him, and thus he was in the grotto by himself
in prayer when Jesus appeared. NOW, read this
next section carefully as it ties thousands
of years of Bible prophecy together in just
a very few short verses. You may not have
seen this before, it is ...well, judgment
by God, of time, and place:

The Prophet Zechariah

Zec 4:2 And said unto me, What seest thou?
And I said, I have looked,
and behold a candlestick all [of] gold,
with a bowl upon the top of it,
and his seven lamps thereon,
and seven pipes to the seven lamps,
which [are] upon the top thereof:

Zec 4:3 And two olive trees by it,
one upon the right [side] of the bowl,
and the other upon the left [side] thereof.

Zec 4:4 So I answered and spake to the
angel that talked with me, saying,
What [are] these, my lord?

Zec 4:5 Then the angel that talked
with me answered and said unto me,
Knowest thou not what these be?
And I said, No, my lord.

Zec 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me,
saying, This [is] the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel,
saying, Not by might, nor by power,
but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

And now, John, on Patmos, "The Revelation of Christ" -

Rev 1:12 And I turned to see the voice
that spake with me. And being turned,
I saw seven golden candlesticks;

Rev 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks
[one] like unto the Son of man,
clothed with a garment down to the foot,
and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

Judgment is a factor of the character of God,
the Son Jesus Christ, stands in the portal of history
from an ancient prophet, and then again, the portals
of history with the modern revelation, and in both,
stands in the midst, not apart, ,not distant, not
detached, but in the midst of what is going on.
Let's pray for each other this day...
