Read: Revelation 19:11-21
The Lord will go forth and fight against those nations. — Zechariah 14:3
I spent the first 2 weeks of May 1997 in Magadan, Siberia, teaching at a Bible college. May 9 was V-Day, a national holiday in the former Soviet Union. Schools were closed, as well as most businesses. In the town square, military leaders and city officials made speeches. A band played patriotic songs, and there was a parade and fireworks.
When I think of all that the Russian people suffered during World War II — of the millions of soldiers and civilians who died horrible deaths — I understand the reason V-Day is so widely celebrated there. The Russians have reason for rejoicing, because a tragic yet heroic period of their history had come to a triumphant end.
As believers in Christ, we know that another Victory Day is coming. The forces of Satan have caused immeasurable suffering in their war against God. It will get worse in the endtimes. But one day the Lord Jesus will lead the armies of heaven to do battle with the hordes of the devil. The battle will be short and decisive. Jesus Christ will be victorious.
We don’t know when this will happen. But we can be confident that God will someday bring about ultimate justice and Christ will reign over all the world. Our Victory Day is coming! — DCE
A glorious day of victory is nearing,
When Christ the Captain of the host appears!
He said that one day He would be returning —
Our great anticipation through the years! — Hess
Someday the scales of justice will be perfectly balanced.
