Tim Franklin · “They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of Lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful."” Revelation 17:14 ESV Have you ever watched any of the shows starring Chuck Norris? There is always a clear picture of good versus evil, and the bad guy is not only intimidating in his appearance, but he is usually pretty self confident that he will be the one to take down the hero. But in the end Chuck Norris shows himself to be not only the better person, but by far he is true champion who will never be defeated by the villain. I see a similar picture taking place here, all the forces of evil, the beasts, combine to do battle against the lamb. I am sure that they are confident of victory, after all who ever heard of a single lamb having victory over a group of ravenous beasts? Yet, the lamb is victorious, evil is defeated, the King of kings demonstrates the power of God to overcome the evil one. This story is not a fictional plot to a tv show, it is the picture of the end of days, the time when Jesus will return and claim complete and total dominion over all of creation. Satan will be defeated, victory will be declared. And it is said that “those with him are called chosen and faithful.” Who are these followers? They are those who surrendered their lives to Christ, those who chose him over the world, those who honored him with their faithful obedience. The choice to be among the chosen and faithful will not be made on the day Christ is victorious over the enemy, it is a choice that must be made today. We don’t get to chose sides after the war is over, the time is now! Will you chose Christ today? Pastor Tim Franklin Darrell Apffel
