His Judgment-Work

His feet will stand once more upon the Mount of Olives (Zech. xiv:4). Before Him is Jerusalem and all nations are gathered against it to battle (Zech. xiv:2). The Beast will be their leader, while the Man of Sin, the Anti-christ, will do his dreadful work in the city itself. The remnant of Israel in great distress will then pray and look for deliverance. The coming of the King will bring that deliverance. They will shout then for joy and say in that day, “Lo, this is our God, we have waited for Him, and He will save us; this is the Lord; we have waited for Him; we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation” (Isaiah xxv:9). They will welcome the once rejected One. “Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord” (Matt. xxiii:39). And He will fight against those nations. The great battle of Armageddon will then take place. “The beasts and the Kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him that sat on the horse, and against his army” (Rev. xix:19). But their opposition will suddenly be broken to pieces. “And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet (the Anti-christ) that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped the image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone” (Rev. xix:20).
