Revelation 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Now brethren, this fact is something we all have to reconcile in our minds, because, if there are angels, both good and bad, interacting on a daily basis with the populations of earth, it begs the question: Are we safe? The answer to this question is what forms the basis of the Christian’s assurance as we go to and fro from day to day. Several passages in the Bible confirm to us that it is because God is in control of the other intelligent life forms on earth, why we are not consumed.
Indeed, it is solely because of His mercy, why the inhabitants are preserved even though the great and important changes predicted in the Bible, are heading our way. Let’s take a look at some of these passages and then we will seek to understand how they impact us, and how we can, and should cooperate with God, in the preservation of mind, and body. Psalms 127:1 Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the Lord keeps the city, the watchman wakes but in vain.
Psalms 127:2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he gives his beloved sleep….. Psalms 33:16 There’s no king saved by the multitude of a host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. 17 A horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. 18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in His mercy.
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
