A Jew would celebrate Purim & do so joyfully as he is brought into remembrance of the great deliverance of the Jews by the Hand of God, through His servant, Esther. As a Christian, I would have no need to celebrate this event but only to bear it in mind for historical understanding & of the working of God in the affairs of men. My special event is when I break bread in fellowship with the saints, in remembrance of my great deliverance from the depths of sin & captivity in Satan's domain.
Truly, I may be wrong in my thinking but, I feel, in my spirit and my gut tells that we, i.e., the Saints, which I think it's safe to assume is the Church, will indeed FIGHT right along with our King, Jesus Christ upon His return to Earth. All along, the Biblical typologies, woven through scripture, have indicated that the Army's have had many a battle, correct? They fought and died, along with Joshua & David, another typology just like our Messiah. So, why would it be that the Saints & Angels, returning with Jesus at the Battle of Armageddon would not fight, tooth and nail right alongside our Lord?
Rev. 19:14 "And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean." And, then, in verse 19, it reads, "And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army."
Wouldn't it be your belief or understanding that we ARE the ARMY of Christ and we will fight alongside The Word? I've been told that I am wrong, but, it is merely common sense. Do you agree? Thank you!
Barbara, the Spirit is gracing you with HIS wisdom and His Understanding. What the Spirit is revealing to you about the armies described in Revelation 19:14 is correct, we are those armies. The armies described in Revelation are much different than the armies we know which are made up of men in their natural state.
1 Corinthians 15:46 Howbeit that WAS NOT FIRST which is spiritual, but that which is NATURAL; and afterwards that which is SPIRITUAL.
1 Corinthians 15:44 It is sown (at natural birth) a NATURAL body; it is raised (at Christ resurrection) a SPIRITUAL body (we are delivered into this body the moment we depart our natural body). There is a NATURAL body, and there is a SPIRITUAL body.
John 16:21 A woman (the church) when she is in travail hath sorrows (suffers in the flesh), because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she rememberth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
There are many, many symbols that describe the called out: the elect, the saints, the anointed ones, the church, the temple, the house of God, the trees, the books, the rivers, the streams, the mountains, the house of Israel, the house of Jacob, the chosen, the called, the faithful, the horses, the chariots and many more. When the Spirit causes you to understand the symbols it becomes easier for the Spirit to reveal His truths.
Isaiah 9:5 For every (natural) battle of the (natural) warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this (spiritual battle) shall be with (spiritual) BURNING and FUEL of (spiritual) FIRE.
Isaiah 9:19 and the PEOPLE shall be the FUEL of the FIRE
Isaiah 4:3-6 (vs 4)When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion (another symbol of the called out) and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem (another symbol of the called out) from the midst thereof by the SPIRIT OF JUDGEMENT and by the SPIRIT OF BURNING.
This is what the armies (the ones gone before us) are doing.
Thank you so very much, Mr. Bowman for your, very in-depth and spirit filled answer. You have truly Blessed me with your Comment/Answer back to me, as I am, through this, able to see another angle per se.
See, I was told, when I asked this question of a popular and, in my opinion extremely spirit-filled and informative Pastor, that when we return to Earth, riding behind Christ, we won't NEED to fight with The Lord as "out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword," as mentioned in Rev.19:15. Furthermore, he stated, rather coyly that Jesus would "take care of business, not needing us."
Personally, I see things much differently and feel there is a purpose for us, returning with Christ; why else would it be mentioned? Armies! However, it does not expound, really, on the subjection, with our, the Saints involvement? Now, I did read this sites Commentary where the verse is broken down. Basically, it says that the example used is when the Roman Generals paraded the Army with the Captives behind. Somehow, Sir, I don't feel this is what is conveyed. Every mention of the "Armies," Biblically speaks to the Men who fought alongside, i.e., Joshua or David, etc., so why would one conceive any other train of thought?
I am able to humble myself and am only trying to learn but this is actually important to me as myself and all of my 5 Sons, are Warriors. In other words, I've long felt that we, collectively would fight, side by side with our King. I thank you, so very much for your time and attention and again, I want to learn, not in contradiction but spirit-filled!
