Victory for Zion
Isaiah 24:21-23 NIV In that day the Lord will punish the powers in the heavens above and the kings on the earth below. [22] They will be herded together like prisoners bound in a dungeon; they will be shut up in prison and be punished after many days. [23] The moon will be dismayed, the sun ashamed; for the Lord Almighty will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before its elders---with great glory. Of course Satan is inciting a great, malign antagonism towards Zion, for

Ending in "defeet"
2 Chronicles 16:9 NLT The eyes of the LORD search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him. What a fool you have been! From now on you will be at war."

This is the day!
This is the day! Psalm 118:24 NKJV This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. So today marks my first breath on this Earth after my precious mum had carried me for 9 months in her womb. I was treasured, I was welcomed into a loving family - nurtured in the ways of the Lord - until I was old enough to make my own decision to commit to Jesus. This was truly a blessing. Yet there are those whose life has been marked with rejection by their parents and

The Great Meeting in the clouds
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 NLT And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. [14] For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with Him the believers who have died. [15] We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet Him ahead of those
