2nd Kings 6:15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? 16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 17 And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
When Elisha was surrounded by the immense Syrian army, Michael stood up again to protect him and his servant from the malice of the king. In that instance, the servant wasn’t aware that Michael’s hosts were already on the ground, and so it seemed to the poor servant that they were cornered, and were about to be consumed. But again, Michael was always there.
And with you and I, and with everyone who believes in Jesus, Michael has always been there, and He will always be there, even though folks may not see Him with their naked eyes, but Jesus’ presence is always with there with us. Always! As it pertains to Daniel 12:1, when Michael will be standing up for all those who remain faithful during the darkest hours of earth’s history, as they refuse to bow to the image of the beast, Jesus will again be doing some very strange things that persons haven’t catered for.
Last week the question was asked: How did the king of Babylon recognize the 4th Person in the furnace as being The Son of God? This will take us into very deep waters, as it pertains to Michael/Christ, who is never short on resources, methods, ways or means when it comes to standing up in the defense of His people.
Psalms 139:1 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2 You know my down sitting and mine uprising, You understand my thoughts afar off. 3 You compass my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
