Holy is YAHveh God, the Almighty, Who was and Who is and Who is to Come
Revelation 4:8
It is about time to know about time. There is an urgency most believers are feeling. We are able to recognize the signs of the times, and we want to make every minute count that we have left on this earth. We are to “Awake, sleeper [wake up to the reality time is short]…making the most of your time, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:14,16). Don’t be foolish; be wise—hunger and thirst after righteousness and be filled and blessed by our master Yahshua (Jesus), and hold out the word of truth to other people so they might come and worship our omnipotent King and the Redeemer of our souls.
From here to eternity, the call of the redeemed is to give Him all the love, praise, honor, glory, worship, and dominion that are due to Him. In Revelation 4:8-11, we read about the heavenly winged creatures that, “…day and night they do not cease to say, ‘Holy, holy, holy is Yahveh God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come. And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders will fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and will worship Him who lives forever and ever, and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying, ‘Worthy are You, our Lord (Master) and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created.’”
While this angelic worship of the Almighty Creator is going on in heaven simultaneously we have the prince of the air Satan who is called “the god of this world” (2 Corinthians 4:4) diabolically strategizing and furiously working with his battalions of fallen angels (demonic spirits) to deceive and destroy the inhabitants of this earth. Apostle Paul cautions us not to be unaware of the enemy’s schemes (see 2 Corinthians 2:11), lest we fall prey to deception. It is a grievous reality that Satan and his demons are attempting and succeeding through the liberal progressive “politically correct global agenda” in distorting and eradicating the knowledge and pure worship of the one true living holy God, the Creator of heaven and earth.
Sadly there is a growing majority of professing believers who have unknowingly become part of the earth’s deceived inhabitants. Our Savior warned, “if possible, even the elect” (Matthew 24:24) would be deceived. So many have erroneously followed the religious traditions of man and chosen ear-tickling and man pleasing agendas that have been infected and infested with the venom of Satan’s strategies. So many confess Him with their lips but their hearts are far from Him (see Matthew 15:8); in reality they have become lukewarm with an empty form of religion truly devoid of His abiding powerful glorious Presence.
“Woe to the earth … because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short" (Revelation 12:12). This in and of itself is the wake up call to true believers who have an attentive ear to hear and spiritual eyes to discern what the Spirit is saying in this late hour. This watchful and waiting remnant is drawing closer to their beloved King and Savior living with their hope fixed on seeing and being with Him in His glorious kingdom when He comes for His called out chosen elect. They are forsaking everything to wholeheartedly love, obey, and follow their beloved Savior and Good Shepherd to the end of the age into His eternal kingdom.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, You have revealed more truth. You are making me aware of Your eternal plans as well as the plans of the evil one. I thank You that I am redeemed and protected by the blood of the Lamb. Please help me to be wise in these perilous times that I will not fall into any form of deception or fall prey to the enemy’s wicked schemes. Thank You that the truth is setting me free and opening the eyes of my understanding that I will worship and praise You in spirit and truth and serve You because You are worthy and I love You. Yahveh you are making it very clear how urgent it is to be awake and to redeem the time to Your praise, honor, and glory.
