A star that was widely anticipated as a sign of victory, deliverance, and redemption appeared in the East 2000 years ago. The sign was none other than the birth of Jesus Christ, who came to earth to proclaim to the world that, despite God's 400-year silence, he still loved and cared for them. God chose to send his only son, Jesus Christ, to redeem his people after hearing their cries and through the intercession of Anna the Prophetess, daughter of Phaniel.
Numbers 24:17 NKJV
I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near; A Star shall come out of Jacob; A scepter shall rise out of Israel, And batter the brow of Moab, and destroy all the sons of tumult.
The king of Moab ordered Balaam to curse the people of Israel, but each time God made him prophecy against the Moabite monarch, which infuriated the monarch. Balaam was a genuine prophet of God, but he was also evil and money-grubbing
The Scepter, which would ultimately put an end to the world's rage and quiet the clamor of the pagans who are futilely plotting against the Lord and His anointed, was none other than Jesus Christ. The letter to Pergamum contains a warning from Jesus Himself. You can read it in Revelation 2:12–17.
Through many demonic and deceitful methods, the adversary of our soul endeavors ceaselessly to undermine our witness and lure God's people towards idolatry and immorality, ultimately destroying the testimony of a Godly child. Let's cling to God's word and make an effort to only act in a way that pleases Him. Because Jesus is returning, this time to finally vanquish the evil.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for keeping me low at the cross and broken before You. I am grateful that Jesus is the star and scepter who overcame all our enemies through His death and resurrection. I also thank you for warning us through the word against the enemy's tactics, which aim to destroy our testimony and dishonor your name. In the powerful name of Jesus.Amen Amen and Amen.
