Beauty and Beast at War with Christ
Who is the Beauty and who is the Beast?
The Beauty is a seducer. The Beast is a destroyer. They are one-two punches of the devil designed to knock-out the faithful servants of Christ. If the beauty of the world and its pleasures fail to seduce you to deny the Lord, the beast threatens to hurt and destroy you.
The Beauty and Beast compel young people to defy and disrespect those who are older and more honorable than them. “The people will be oppressed, everyone by another and everyone by his neighbor; the child will be insolent toward the elder, and the base toward the honorable.” [1]
What is at stake if you yield to beauty or beast? Eternal salvation! Heaven or hell! Life with God or eternal suffering with the devil. Big stakes. Yet, who is fighting the battles for the salvation of the world? The worst defeat is to lose one’s soul to hell for all eternity.
Who has put on their spiritual armor? Who has read the battle manual – the Bible? Who is taking orders from the Captain of our salvation? [2] Who is marching to war?
“The kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her [the Harlot’s – the Beauty’s] fornication.” She was sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy. She was drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. [3]
The beast will work with kings of the earth to make war with the Lamb [Jesus Christ] but the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.” [4]
We need to remain in Christ to WIN! “Those who are with Him are called, chosen and faithful.” The question is... are we with Him... with JESUS?
