ARME Bible Camp

Going Nuclear

I'm going to ask that you bow your heads as we pray.

Heavenly Father, we ask that you would please speak to us Lord.

Father, you have brought us all here for such a time as this.

Lord help us to realize the gravity of the time we are living in.

Father, you have not raised us up without reason.

This church has been founded for a mission and with a purpose.

Lord, help us to reach a pivotal point in our experience this weekend.

And Lord, I ask that you would please speak through me.

Guide my words, Lord, and may our hearts be moved.

Like you to open your Bibles to the book of Isaiah chapter 14, the title of the message, Going Nuclear.

I think that is a fitting title for an army Bible camp.

I want to lay the foundation if I can very quickly.

We're going to go through these scriptures as quickly as we can.

The Bible says here, speaking of Lucifer, For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven.

I will exalt my throne above the stars of God.

I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the north.

Lucifer desired to exalt himself above the stars of God.

Revelation chapter 12 verse 4 and verse 9 tells us that the dragon's tail, excuse me, cast one-third of the what?

Lucifer began a rebellion in heaven and he used the stars to do it.

And the question we have to ask ourselves is, whose light was Lucifer bearing?

The Bible, I'm sorry, y'all, we're told in Patriarchs and Prophets, page 35, Lucifer, son of the morning, was first of the covering cherubs, holy and undefiled.

He stood in the presence of the great Creator, and the ceaseless beams of glory enshrouding the eternal God rested upon him.

He was bearing the light of Jesus Christ.

But the Bible says that he began to look at this light and boast as though the light were his own.

The Bible tells us that one-third of the stars of heaven were cast out.

Satan deceived a great multitude of the stars of heaven.

We can't imagine how many angels were cast out because the entire host of God is is unnumbered.

So imagine with me how many stars fell from heaven.

The Bible tells us that Lucifer deceived mankind.

And as a result, we find in Genesis chapter 3 verse 15, God giving the promise, Genesis chapter 3 and verse 15, the promises given I will put enmity between thee and the woman, between thy what?

Seed and her seed, it, that is the woman's seed, was to bruise the head of the serpent, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

God foretells here of the coming of a seed, of the seed.

Genesis chapter 15 verse 5, we are laying a foundation.

Genesis chapter 15 verse 5 you can then understand the significance of the statement of God's promise to Abraham.

Genesis 15 verse 5 he brought him forth abroad and said look now towards the heaven and tell the what?

And he said unto them, so shall thy seed be.

Satan used the stars to begin the controversy in heaven.

God will use stars to finish the controversy on earth.

Genesis 15, or Genesis 22 verse 15, Genesis chapter 22 verse 15, the Bible tells us here, And the angel of the Lord, by the way, when the Bible here is speaking about the seed of the woman and it's talking about these stars as the multitude or stars being for multitude, who's being spoken about here?

Abraham was told that he will be the father of a great what?

The Bible says here, And in multiplying, I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is upon the seashore, and thy seed shall possess the gates of his enemies.

And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed because thou hast obeyed my voice." God says here that all the nations would be blessed, would receive a blessing through the seed, the stars.

Genesis chapter 26, Turn again with me to verse 4.

God says, and I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven and will give unto thy seed all these countries and in thy seed shall all nations, kindreds, tongues, and peoples.

Shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.

There is a blessing waiting for all peoples, nations, kindreds, and tongues through the seed that is supposed to be as the multitude of the stars.

It's interesting that from Abraham arose how many?

Abraham had Isaac, Isaac, Jacob, Jacob becomes Israel and Israel has the 12.

Of the Jews, of those who were the great seed.

And it's interesting, How many of you remember when Joseph had his dream?

So you can begin to understand God's purpose is to multiply the stars.

Abraham grows to 12 and those 12 are to grow to a great multitude.

Well, I want you to notice with me Deuteronomy chapter 1 verse 10 because it appears that this is fulfilled.

Deuteronomy chapter 1 verse 12 or rather verse 10.

The Bible says, And the Lord your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are this day as the stars of heaven for a multitude.

I can imagine the children of Israel must have been excited except for when God told them over here in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 28, something that maybe they didn't like too much.

Deuteronomy 28, and I want you to notice verse 58.

If thou will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in the book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, the Lord thy God.

Then the Lord will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sickness, and of long continuance.

Moreover, he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou was afraid of, and they shall cleave unto thee.

Also, every sickness and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, then will the Lord bring upon thee until thou be destroyed and you shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars of heaven for a multitude, because thou wouldst not obey the voice of the Lord thy God." So it's as though God was telling them, listen, if you fail to obey me, This whole promise about you being as the stars, that promise will be null and void.

Well, what happened with the history of Israel?

We know that Israel eventually ceased to shine.

Because God called them to shine to the world.

In fact, the very fact that when Jesus came upon the scene, see, remember, remember the old prophet Balaam?

That prophesied that there was to be a coming what?
