And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. (Job 1:8-11)
For those with ears to hear....
I Believe something similar to this is going on in heaven regarding the church. The church is arguably the most prosperous at it has ever been, and as wealthy and blessed as ever, just Like Job was blessed and protected. In Revelation 12:10-11 we see that Satan is cast down from heaven because of the efficacy of the Blood of the Lamb in the lives of the saints which has transformed them such that their testimony is worthy of this when faced with their own death. This precursor event to the Great tribulation (The Wrath of Satan), I Believe is what many Christians are witnessing now in the world.
Has the fiery trial fallen upon you? If so be strong until the end even if that means your death, for by our overcoming we force the devil's hand. The following is for you if you are facing this trial.
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
(2 Thessalonians 1:7-12)
