OUTLINE:

Faith Asserts HIS Power
Faith says that any opposition to a person who is fulfilling the plan of God for their lives is actually in opposition to the Lord, Himself!

Courage
Courage is really nothing more than applied faith.

Courage
Courage is a symptom of faith, not a cause for it. Faith is the cause for courage, not a symptom of it.

Courage
Faith produces courage in the slightest of men/women.

Blind Courage
Blind faith leads to blind courage. The individuals that flew airliners into buildings on 9/11/01 had great faith, therefore great courage. Since their faith was wrong, their courage was wrong.

Josh 8:35
There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel with the women and the little ones and the strangers who were living among them.

Satan’s Desperation
Satan is cast out of Heaven to the earth halfway through the Tribulation period. (Rev 12:13)

The Spiritual Vector of Evil
Evil always reduces options in life. The longer a person remains in an evil SoT, the more options are choked off during their lives. The ultimate destination for all things evil, of course, is the Lake of Fire.

OSN’s in the Millennium
The fact that OSN’s will exist as a result of surviving Tribulation saints entering into the Millennium means that sin/evil will still exist.

Pent-Up Frustration
The Millennium poses a challenge to the flesh because it won’t offer a cosmic system to cater to the sins of the flesh. Therefore, after 1,000 years of this, unbelievers will be “ripe” for revolution (ala Gog/Magog).

Global Rebellion
The fact that Satan is able “to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth” reveals the general, cancerous nature of the flesh and it’s malcontent as a result of being minus a relationship with God.

Dispensational Truth
One of the base principles revealed THROUGH the various dispensations is that environment and provision never satisfies the flesh because the flesh can never be satisfied!

The Insatiable Flesh
The flesh cannot be satisfied. If it has never been satiated by the very best that God has to offer, then why would it ever be satiated with anything less? (eg: all things are less than God => the flesh remains miserably unsatisfied!).

Our God of Integrity
In the end, God’s integrity grants the flesh precisely what it has always desired, separation from Him, however the penalty is that separation from Him means the Lake of Fire.

The Power of Choice
When the facts are clearly presented, and a person makes the wrong choice, the goodness of honoring that decision should never be sullied by the badness of the
results.

Revolution Is Organized Rebellion
The grass roots of revolution is often chaotic rebellion until leadership congeals it into a force with purpose and direction.

“to gather”
from sunago – means to concentrate; refers to Gog (Satan) directing Magog (his rebellious followers) into a tremendous, organized mob against the ruler of the Millennium (TLJC)

Dissatisfaction
NVTD destroys capacity for life, blessings, prosperity, and happiness.

“they came upon”
from anabaino – refers to a very aggressive advance; it has a military connotation that refers to marching; implies tremendous organization under Satan’s
leadership

Coup d'état (French)
The sudden, illegal deposition of a government, usually by a small group of the existing state establishment—typically the military—to replace the deposed government with another body; either civil or military.

Violence As a Last Resort
Those who resort to violence to settle an argument have most often first lost the non-violent argument.
