The Reality of Armageddon 2


From the days of Adam, the devil has been looking for means of establishing his wish upon the face of the recreated earth. It was this that pushed him to tempt the first family, who were in charge of the earth, to take the authority of the earth.

Psalm 115:16 showed that the legal authority on the earth is man, but the devil stole this authority from man in the garden of Eden. This grieved God as His plan for the earth is 'thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven'. So, right from Genesis, we see two agenda for the earth. One from God through man and the other through the devil.

God began to devise means through which He will restore man back to the place of authority, but the devil has always created holes in the plans of God for man because God would not intrude the earth except a man is involved. So God has to wait upon a man before His can appear on the earth. It must be noted that God is not the one in direct battle with the devil. That would be very blasphemous. The battle for the earth is between the man whose will is aligned with God and the devil.

Over the years, the events on the earth have been as a result of the victories and set backs in the battle for the earth. This earth is a spiritual realm and nothing happens in the physical without a corresponding pre-occurrence in the spiritual.

We have many names for the effect of the battle on mankind and this is because of our eyes that are not often opened to see the activities going on over us. The devil is like a snake. His strength lies in not being seen. When a snake is in a room, it's aim is to remain unseen, but the day it is discovered, death will surely meet it. The devil hides behind all kinds of things to make sure that his wish for the earth prevails over the will of God through man that is aligned with God.

So, the products of the battle have led to things we define as civilization, modernization, events, trends and all. There is nothing on the earth that is not from the battle. As such, everything on the earth right now are products of spiritual transactions. There are only two sides.

Armageddon is a battle that will take place when Jesus returns to the earth with His saints as declared in the book of Revelations. It's the final battle for the earth. It is called final because there have been many other battles for the earth before that battle.

I hope that this series will make you see that there is a battle over the nations even at this time. I will be picking different sectors of life and by the grace and mercy of God, show you how the battle has led to events in that sector. In the little study that I have done so far, I have been amazed at the revelations! Stay Tuned!

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty.  It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Nigeria In The Bible

As we approach another celebration of the independence of the nation Nigeria, I will like us to know some things about this nation that the LORD has shown me. If a man wants to know the details of God's will for his life, he would need to read the things that have been written or said about him by God. Prophecy is one of the ways that the will of God can be known. Prophecy is voicing God's will. This same principle applies to territories as territories also have a will established by God for them to fulfill. In the scriptures, we see details of many nations that existed in that time. Nations like Israel, Egypt, Syria, Edom, Philistine, Babylon and in the new testament, we saw countries like Italy and Spain which still exists till today. Most of the nations that were mentioned in the old testament bear a new name today. There were some nations mentioned in the old testament, but their names were not specified. God, through the prophets spoke about the destiny of some na...

EndSARS: Prophetic Intelligence

  Some moments ago, the LORD reminded me of the things He shared with me during the protests. As usual, when I hear of an event in Nigeria or on the global scene, I would go to God for prophetic intelligence. I have always shared how that prophetic (spiritual) intelligence is the highest form of reality. When we seek God's counsel about an issue in our life, family or work, we are seeking prophetic intelligence. If we seek it for different issues in our life, how much more would it be of greater premium when we seek it for happenings in our nation. The ENdSARS protests started without any prior notice. There was no signal to it in the physical and it gathered momentum within days so much that many were surprised that Nigerians could stand up for their right. As the protests were going on, I went to God to find out His thoughts about the protests. In following God in the last days, many have missed the trail because they arrange things based on the knowledge of good and evil. We...
