Key Verse: Verse 10 – “And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.”
Key Words: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down
M. R. DeHaan II once wrote: “The early morning racket was so loud that I rolled out of bed and went to the front door to see what was happening. I knew about their longstanding argument. But I had never heard them go at it like this before. There in the trees in front of our house it appeared that the crows and the blue jays were quarreling again. Their war of words and wings had escalated beyond anything I’d ever seen before. I watched the ‘reserves’ fly in and take positions in the branches. The actual bombings and strafing was concentrated in the upper regions of a big oak.
“But I saw something I hadn’t expected. A pair of huge brown wings made a tactical retreat to a nearby branch. There was no crow, and this was not the usual spat between the blacks and blues. They weren’t even fighting each other on this Sunday morning. They had found a common enemy. They had located an owl, and their mutual dislike for one another was lost in a conflict of greater proportions. Together the crows and the blue jays had combined forces against the owl.”
We may not always agree on every issue, but one common thing we do agree on is that Satan is our ultimate enemy. One day soon the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords will cast him down. To God be the glory!
