Enemies Bow At Their Feet
Isaiah 60:14 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. While Satan inspires miraculous lies; the earnest contenders for the faith once delivered to the saints, inspire faith in Jesus Christ and the doctrine He sealed among the apostles. Christ pours out the spirit of martyrdom upon some so that the preciousness of the apostolic doctrine is made known to all believers and as the means were by which God execute vengeance on the world. a heavy anointing publish the truth of the Gospel. Anointed witnesses will again boldly proclaim the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus Christ. The Apostolic Gospel will emerge in full power to affirm to the entire world that Jesus christ is the only true God; and that godliness is the adornment of the saints. The saints will rise up to combat Satan in every quarter, as they did in Jerusalem. God is intent on making the most vilest and wickedest place on earth the headquarters for his earthly reign of 1000 years. Christ is going to transform the earth into an oasis of peace and prosperity. Christ has put down all rule and authority; this dominion of Christ will be evident in the 1000 year reign.
Satan's attempt to undermined faith in Christ takes the appearance of satanic miracles. John says in Revelations: "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindred, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity: he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. (Rev 13:1-18)
God Makes Us Rejoice
Ezr 6:16-22 says: “as the children of Israel kept the dedication the house of God the Lord made them joyfulf and strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God. Neh 8:10 says: "the joy of the Lord is your strength; for as they they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced; God made them rejoice with great joy... so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off. Job 8:19 says: "Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow. He shall pray unto God, and he will be favorable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness. But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defends them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.(Job 33:26; Psa 5:11; 16:11).
The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord. Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.(Psa 21:1; 27:6; 32:11; 35:27; 43:4; 51:8, 12; 105:43; 126:5; 132:9, 16; 137:6; Isa 12:3).
And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die. The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city: It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God. And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. (Isa 22:13; 29:19; 32:13; 35:2; 35:10).
For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. ..I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. (Isa 51:3, 11; 52:9; 55:12; 60:15; 61:3).
Being on One Accord
Being like minded inn the apostle's doctrine; of the same love, of one accord, and of one mind is the habitat of God's joy. The fellowship of the saints in the apostle's doctrine is glorious joy. The sacrifice and service of faith to the fellowship makes joy, rejoice.The rending of thanks to God for the saints causes joy. Rejoicing for the saints before God increases joy. Standing fasting the Lord and seeing others standing fast, emits the crown of joy. Having a desire to see the saints is to be filled with joy. Christ has promised to do whatever we ask, if we ask it with joy. He declares: "Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full". Christ, asserts: "whatever you ask in my name I will do it". Christ, asserts: "whatever you ask with joy, I will do it". Christ, asserts: "whatever you ask in faith, I will do it". To ask or make supplications, in the name of Jesus, to make petition to the center, of God's being. It is to pray with the attributes of joyous praise. We must stay before God until this attribute of the spirit is turned on in us; for this this attribute of the spirit is turned on in us, we will shout and emit proclamations of triumph. When Christ speaks to us, his voice makes us rejoice. We are to look into each others face and speak joy to them; sings hymns, psalms to each other and exhort one another. Let your soul rejoice in Christ, our God!
For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them. Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying....: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts. (Isa 61:7; 65:14, 18, 19; 66:e, 10; Jer.15:16).
And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honor before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the Lord of hosts: for the Lord is good; for his mercy endure for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the Lord. Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. (Jer 33:9, 1; Zep 3:17; Hab 3:18).
