“Choose this day whom you will serve.” Joshua 24:15 A “choice” that defines the purpose for the Creation Narrative and Elohim’s eschatological will and His purposes for Time and Eternity…
Joshua’s utterance via the Holy Spirit is central to all things concerning the Genesis Narrative and the purposes surrounding Day-6 (the human genome); futhermore, Joshua’s utterance is central to the presence of Satan in Eden; the Adamic compromise with evil; the declaration of war between Elohim and Satan in Genesis 3:15; the introduction of a divine battle strategy known as “The Gospel” in Genesis 3:21 which was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10); the demonic compromise of the Adamic and Noahic generations and their judgment unto death via water save eight (Genesis 6:5); the necessity for Noah; Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Sinai-Moses, Messiah; the defeat of Satan’s works by Messiah at Golgotha (1 John 3:8b); the introduction of the New Covenant established in Messiah’s blood (Luke 22:20) and represented by Christianity; the subsequent rise of Islam and Islam’s false deity “Allah” who is Satan masquerading as an angel of light via the Arabic moon god (2 Corinthians 11:14); worldwide hatred and loathing for Jacob’s children; the re-establishment of the Israeli State in 1948 subsequent Satan’s attempt to completely annihilate Jacob’s children via the Holocaust; the advent of the “nuclear age;” the “progressive” fall of the United States via demonic compromise politically-ethically-morally; the rise of an unholy alliance between Russia-China-Iran/Islam as foretold by the prophets; the relocation of Israel’s Capital from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and Jerusalem as the obsessive focus of Satan’s allies; the rise in Worldwide antisemitism; the current unrest in the Middle East emboldened by nuclear threats; the coming Tribulation period which is 3.5-years of unfathomable nuclear conflict involving the entire World but primarily focused upon and targeting Jerusalem, Israel; Messiah’s 2nd-Advent to Mount Olivet with victory over Israel’s enemies; the establishment of the Millennial Kingdom; the final battle between good and evil initiated at the culmination of Messiah’s Millennial Reign in conjunction with Satan’s freedom from bondage; the Judgment of Satan; the Judgment of unfaithful humanity; the destruction of the Heavens and the Earth by fire; the presence of a New Earth and a New Heaven and the Holy City, the New Jerusalem; resurrected faithful humanity serving a resurrected Jesus as Messiah and King, forever.
Whom will you serve? The only relevant question in life…
Our existence upon this temporary Earth is due a spiritual war initiated by Satan in the Kingdom of Elohim and this Earth, this temporary Universe, were created in direct response to that Kingdom War; this temporary Earth is nothing more than a temporary “battle ground” as Elohim removed the destruction of war from His Kingdom and placed same here to be dealt with partially constrained by Time and physics; this, apart from the Kingdom where nothing impure is permitted to exist (Revelation 21:27).
Humanity plays an integral eschatological role in this spiritual war that rages around us and through us daily and the most relevant decision a man or woman will make in their life is “whom will you serve?” – will you freely choose to serve Elohim by faith in the Son, Jesus our Messiah (John 3:16) or will you choose to serve Satan (John 8:44) in rejection of Elohim’s plea to “choose life” in His Son (Deuteronomy 30:19)?
If you choose Jesus by faith (John 3), you will be victorious as Jesus is King and the battle is His in victory, eternally (Revelation 5:5) – or – you can choose servitude to Satan in rebellion to Elohim’s will for your life (John 6:29; 1 Timothy 2:4) and reap the sorrows of defeat and shame in Hell (Revelation 20:10-15). The choice is yours to make; therefore, “Choose this day whom you will serve.”
