Prophecy and the War Horse will meet in a climatic ending at the end of time. Prophecy fulfilled and the War Horse will ride together in the final battle on earth

Prophecy and the bible is a subject of great interest. Now that the famed 2012 is here Prophecy of many sorts and sources find their way to the front. In Christian circles Prophecy is a hot topic and one that generates a crowd. You can usually pack out a church by dealing in areas of Prophecy that interest people. None the less, I find one of the most intriguing things in Prophecy is the use of the War Horse. Throughout scripture we find nations and peoples using horses in Battle.

Recently War Horse came to the big screen, being developed from a book by British author Michael Morpurgo. It was first published in 1982, and then developed for the stage by the same name of War Horse. The epic picture of the War Horse was directed by Steven Spielberg and the shots of the War Horse focused on the strength, beauty, and majesty of the breed in battle.

Prophecy and the Horse stand shoulder to shoulder in the end times. That is, from scripture we have a number of scriptures that reflect this. But we will get to this later. No doubt for man, the use of the horse, then the chariot in battle was paramount to success in war. Israel faced many enemies who had a reputation and fierceness in War, due to their chariots, horses, and cavalry of War Horses. One of the oldest sources describing the true majesty of the horse is found in Job.

Job 39:19- Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
Job 39:20- Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
Job 39:21- He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
Job 39:22- He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.
Job 39:23- The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
Job 39:24- He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
Job 39:25- He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

Light and Darkness Paradox

Let me tell you in one sentence the plot of this newsletter. Here it is, “walking in the light, stepping in darkness.” The two phrases here “walking in light” and “stepping in darkness” are contradictory, they present an impossible situation. How can one be walking in light and yet end up stepping in darkness? It is a Paradox, something that is absurd or contradictory. From the standpoint of simplicity, let us say this occurs in America. For your own application, it can actually be anywhere in the natural world. In the spirit world where many today believe are light beings, truth, and a pure light of love that beams over you as you travel from your body to your spiritual destination there is that which is unnatural.

The Spirit realm is unnatural; the world we live in is natural. But between them both we will find light and darkness, good and evil. There reigns in the spiritual realm the battle goes on 24/7 and is never-ending. The goal is to reach the beings living in the natural world with redemption. But the warning here is, there are rebellious dark spirits that oppose the truth. Of course that goal of redemption is only an eternal one with true rewards if it is presented to you by the Father of spirits, i.e. our Heavenly Father who sent his only begotten Son, Yeshua Ha Massiach to die on the cross for your sins. In the truest essence the battle has been waged since Satan was thrown out of heaven for his rebellion. The battle is Spiritual and reaches into the eternal. For those who live in the natural, the spirit can be seen as light, although the beings trying to reach you are actually themselves in darkness and do not know the truth. They have deceived themselves, are incapable of redemption, and project a light and a lie for others to follow. That light and lie, coming from this spiritual realm is darkness that will send your soul to hell. It does not deliver you into the presence of the Father with repentance and the knowledge of the Son of God who died for you.

Eph 6:12- For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Psalm 119:105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

The wrestling Paul speaks about is not against human forms of wickedness, although they are there and used by spiritual wickedness to do their deceptions and evil. The wrestling Paul talks about is in prayer, through the Spirit of God, In the name of the Son of God and takes on the dark spirits of rebellion that bring their rejection of God to mankind. Men, though, in ignorance today follow many gods, idols, meditations, and other ways that are meant to produce a blissful state, to quiet the soul, and make you think it is truth. Sure, the soul of men can be rested in this way, also taken over, and even seduced. In this Satan can then bring his light of deception with his own brand of miracles and supernatural occurrence’s to convince men that what they are doing will bring eternal rewards. The rewards however are not good enough to bring you into Gods good graces. Far from it, they are rewards for your rebellion and rejection of the truth.
