THE BATTLE OF THE GREAT DAY OF GOD ALMIGHTY
I. BATTLE OF THE GREAT DAY OF GOD NOT THE COLLIDING OF WORLD POWERS
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness; (Jesus entry into Jerusalem after the battle of Jerusalem) I will go through
them, and I will praise the LORD. 20 This is the gate of the LORD, through which the righteous shall enter. 21 I will
praise You, for You have answered me, and have become my salvation. 22 The stone which the builders rejected
(cross) has become the chief cornerstone.(king of kings) 23 This was the LORD’s doing (the plan of redemption
is from divine initiative); it is marvelous in our eyes.(Revelation 15:2-3, Revelation 19:1-4) 24 This is the day the
LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 25 Save now, I pray, O LORD; O LORD, I pray, send now
prosperity. 26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD!(Matthew 23:29) We have blessed you from
the house of the LORD. Psalm 118:19-24
A. The centerpiece of God’s eternal purpose is for Jesus to come back to fully establish His Kingdom rule over all the
earth as He joins the heavenly and earthly realms together. God’s purpose has always been for God and His people to
live together in this way. This is the interpretive key to understanding the End-Times. Without this foundational revelation,
confusion is inevitable when studying the End-Times.
“… having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the
dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which
are on earth—in Him.” Ephesians 1:9-10
B. The study of End-Times is about both the unveiling of events and the beauty of the personhood of Christ Jesus.
Somehow Jesus’ divine administrations are powerfully and intricately woven together with revelation of His beauty. As the
administration and the Personhood of Christ are revealed, so is the beauty and the glory of God the Father. The study
of End-Times shows us God’s sovereignty over human history
C. There is warfare and a fighting dimension related to the execution of God’s plan. This plan will not executed
without a battle. He came to defeat the enemy at the cross, to make a public spectacle of devil, and render realms of
darkness powerless now. He will also come and engage into a battle in the realm of the natural – the battle of Jerusalem.
The purpose of His 2nd Coming is to manifest the fullness of God’s government on the earth establishing His throne in
Jerusalem that will be preceded by a military battle.
D. The political and military developments among the Gentiles are key sings of the times. They lead up to
Armageddon Campaign. It is necessary to first understand the Armageddon Campaign to grasp the prophetic
significance of what is happening in this hour in the Gentile nations.
2 Daniel spoke, saying, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great
Sea.” Daniel 7:2
E. The Armageddon is NOT the colliding of two world powers like communism and democracy or two world superpowers
at war with each other bringing the earth to brink of destruction. Armageddon is the nations of the earth fight against
God and His armies.
“The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one
hour as kings with the beast. These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. These
will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who
are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.” Revelation 17:12-14
II. HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE LORD OF HOST: THE BEAUTY OF THE WARRIOR KING.
“The LORD is a man of war; the LORD is His name.” Exodus 15:3
And one cried to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory! Isaiah 6:3
“The LORD will march out like a mighty man, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle
cry and will triumph over his enemies. Isaiah 42:13
4 For the day of vengeance is in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come.” Isaiah 63:1-4
A. The “Lord of hosts” is phrase that can also mean, the “Warrior King, or Captain of the Armies,” or “Master of
Legions.” The word “host” can also mean armies. The “hosts” is made up of angels and saints. The armies of heaven
are both angelic and redeemed.
B. There is warfare and a fighting dimension related to the execution of God’s plan. This plan will not executed without a
battle. He came to defeat the enemy at the cross, to make a public spectacle of devil, and render realms of darkness
powerless now. He will also come and engage into a battle in the realm of the natural – the battle of Jerusalem.
C. The purpose of His 1st Coming and the cross was to lay foundation of the future political and economic kingdom
to be built upon. He came to lay the foundation called Sermon on the Mount by writing His law, His value system upon
the hearts of those who say yes to His leadership. He came to the lay the foundation of His coming kingdom. Christ is
the foundation (1 Corinthians 3:10), but the expression of that foundation is the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7).
D. The purpose of His 2nd Coming is to manifest the fullness of God’s government on the earth establishing His
throne in Jerusalem that will be preceded by a military battle.
He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor; therefore His own arm brought salvation
for Him (the cross); and His own righteousness, it sustained Him. Isaiah 59:16
“I looked, but there was no one to help, and I wondered that there was no one to uphold; therefore My own arm brought
salvation for Me (Armageddon Campaign); and My own fury, it sustained Me. I have trodden down the peoples in My
anger, made them drunk in My fury, and brought down their strength to the earth.” Isaiah 63:5-6
“Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. Who is
this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up,
you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the
King of glory.” Psalm 24:7-10
E. Commonly the subject of warfare is limited to a battle fought in the spirit. However there is a battle to be fought in
natural at Campaign of Armageddon with humanity of Christ. There is a revelation of mystery of Christ, as God-Man the
Warrior-King. The warfare that Christ wages is in the realm of the Spirit and the realm of the natural.
III. ARMAGEDDON IS A 3½ YEAR CAMPAIGN
A. The Armageddon Campaign is often thought of as an isolated battle that occurs just before Jesus returns. It is a
military campaign that last 3½ years and will involve many different battles. It ends with the final battle referred to as the
Battle of Jerusalem, which is fought in the Valley of Jehoshaphat just outside of Jerusalem. The Antichrist will conduct
numerous battles around the world (Revelation 6:1-6; Daniel 11:40-45), in context to the 3½ year Armageddon Campaign.
B. Armageddon is the place God chose to gather all the nations for the war so that He might judge them. The
Scripture speaks often of this (Psalm 2:1-12; 45:3-5; 46:1-11; 50:2-7, 15; 97:1-12; 98:1-9; 110:5-6; 149:6-9; Isaiah 2:4;
9:1-6; 11:4-5; 13:4-13; 27:12; 29:5-8; 30:25-26; 31:4-9; 33:2-13; 34:1-7; 42:13-15; 59:16-21; 52:1-2, 13-15; 63:1-6;
Jeremiah 4:19-28; 25:29-33; Jeremiah 49:7-22; Ezekiel 20:33-34; 38-39; Daniel 2:44-45; 7:9-11, 26; 9:27;
Joel 3:1-2, 9-17; Micah 4:11-5:15; 7:16-17; Zephaniah 3:8; Zechariah 12:1-9; 14:1-3, 12-15; Malachi 4:1-3;
Revelation 14:17-20; 16:12-17; 19:17-21).
C. The Armageddon Campaign will be the bloodiest war in history that will result in blood flowing for 200 miles
(from Megiddo to Bozrah, Edom). God will gather the nations to the Valley of Decision and there He will enter into
judgment against the nations of the earth.
2 I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will enter into judgment with them
there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; they have also divided
up My land. Joel 3:2
11Assemble and come, all you nations, and gather together all around. Cause Your mighty ones to go down there,
O LORD. 12“ Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the
surrounding nations. 13 Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down; for the winepress is full, the vats
overflow — for their wickedness is great.” 14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD
is near in the valley of decision. Joel 3:11-14
D. There will be several components that will contribute to the nations gathering for this great, final battle of the
campaign and judgment of God. The 1st component is one of divine initiative (Joel 2:11, 3:2, 12; Ezekiel 38:8-16;
Ezekiel 39:2; Zechariah 12:3; 14:2; Zephaniah 3:8; Revelation 16:12). The prophet Ezekiel declares that this event
will fill the earth with the revelation of the knowledge of God (Ezekiel 38:16-17; 38:23; 39:6, 13)
E. The 2nd component that will contribute to the gathering is the rage of evil kings (Psalm 2:2; Ezekiel 35:11; 38:10).
Corrupt and power hungry kings will gather to plunder and take spoils and wealth from Israel (Ezekiel 38:10-12).
F. There is also a demonic initiative, which is the 3rd component to the drawing to Armageddon. The Antichrist
will release demonic emissaries to draw the kings of the earth. I liken it on to the evil spirit that came upon Saul to wage
war against king David but in this case the kings of the earth will be demonically energized and their jealousy stirred to
wage war against the greater David – Jesus of Nazareth who is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
(Revelation 16:13-14; 19:19)
G. The Armageddon Campaign which culminates with the battle of Jerusalem consist of various military forces
1. The 10 nation confederation of the Antichrist
2. Alliance led by the king of the north (Syria) - Daniel 11:40
3. Alliance led by the king of the south (Egypt) - Daniel 11:40
4. The kings of the East (Asia) - Daniel 11:44, Revelation 16:12
5. Jesus and the armies of heaven during the 2nd Coming events - Isaiah 63:1-4; Revelation 19:11-15
H. Some of the area involving the campaign are
1. The valley of Megiddo (Armageddon) – Isaiah 9:1, 4; Revelation 16:16
2. Valley of Jehoshaphat which is east of Jerusalem - Joel 2:32; 3:2, 12; Zechariah 12:2-11; 14:2; Revelation 11:2;
Revelation 14:20
3. Edom – Isaiah 34; 63
4. Mountains of Israel – Ezekiel 39:2, 4, 17
I. Armageddon is located 10 miles south from Nazareth and is 15 miles in land from the Mediterranean. It was a
place where are key biblical battles where fought. (Judges 4-5, 7, 1 Samuel 31:8).
J. The Armageddon campaign will take place prior to the 2nd Coming of the Lord (Revelation 6:5-6; Daniel 11:40-45)
but it will culminate with what is known as the battle of Jerusalem. The issue of the Armageddon campaign is Jerusalem,
because Jerusalem will be where the government of heaven and earth will be brought together under the Father’s
authority.
I (Lord) will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; the city shall be taken, the houses rifled, and the women
ravished. Half of the city shall go into captivity, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 Then
the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations... (Zechariah 14:2-3)
12 This shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: their flesh shall
dissolve while they stand on their feet, their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, and their tongues shall dissolve in their
mouths. 13 It shall come to pass in that day that a great panic from the LORD will be among them. Everyone will seize the
hand of his neighbor, and raise his hand against his neighbor's hand; 14 Judah also will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth
of all the surrounding nations shall be gathered together: Gold, silver, and apparel in great abundance. 15 Such also
shall be the plague on the horse and the mule, on the camel and the donkey, and on all the cattle that will be in those
camps. So shall this plague be. (Zechariah 14:12-15)
3 In that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut
in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it. 4 In that day," says the LORD, "I will strike every horse
with confusion, and its rider with madness…8 In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem…9 It shall
be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. (Zechariah 12:3, 8-9)
IV. THE ENDING OF THE ARMAGEDDON CAMPAIGN DURING THE 2ND COMING
A. The ending of the Armageddon Campaign happens in the context of the 2nd Coming of Christ to establish His theocratic
government in the earth. The Armageddon Campaign is often thought of as an isolated battle that occurs just before Jesus
returns. It is a military campaign that lasts 3½ years and will involve many different battles. It ends with the final battle
referred to as the Battle of Jerusalem, which is fought in the Valley of Jehoshaphat just outside of Jerusalem. The
Antichrist will conduct numerous battles around the world (Revelation 6:1-6; Daniel 11:40-45), in context to the 3½-
year Armageddon Campaign.
B. Crucial to the subject of the ending of the Armageddon Campaign is the understanding that the Second Coming
Procession involves a 3-stage procession. This Procession begins in the sky at the 7th Trumpet (Last Trumpet;
Revelation 11:15; 1 Corinthians 15:52) with the Rapture and ends on the earth after the 7th Bowl to end the
Armageddon campaign with an astonishing victory over the armies of the Antichrist at Jerusalem (Revelation 19:11-21;
Zechariah 12:1-13:6; 14:1-9).
C. There are three stages to Jesus’ Procession:
1. Jesus’ procession across the sky: to rapture the Church (Matthew 24:30-31; Revelation 1:7)
2. Jesus’ procession on the land: traveling from Egypt through Jordan up to Jerusalem (Isaiah 63; Habakkuk 3)
3. Jesus’ procession into Jerusalem: to the Mount of Olives followed by His coronation
V. SOME SCRIPTURES REFERENCING THE ARMAGEDDON CAMPAIGN.
3 Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One, with Your glory and Your majesty. 4 In Your majesty ride prosperously
because of truth, humility, and righteousness…5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King's enemies; the peoples
(nations) fall under You. 6 Your Throne, O God, is forever…7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore
God…has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions. (Psalm 45:3-7)
1 Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah, this One who is glorious in His apparel (Jesus),
traveling in the greatness of His strength?-- "I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save." 2 Why is Your apparel red,
and Your garments like one who treads in the winepress? 3 "I have trodden the winepress…for I have trodden them in
My anger, and trampled them in My fury; their blood is sprinkled upon My garments (in context to the Battle of Jerusalem),
and I have stained all My robes. 4 For the day of vengeance is in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come…
6 I have trodden down the peoples in My anger, made them drunk in My fury, and brought down their strength…
(Isaiah 63:1-6)
1 Let the earth hear, and all that is in it…2 For the indignation of the LORD is against all nations, and His fury against
all their armies; He has utterly destroyed them, He has given them over to the slaughter. 3 Also their slain shall be
thrown out; Their stench shall rise from their corpses, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. 4 All the host
of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll; all their host shall fall down…5 "For My
sword shall be bathed in heaven; indeed it shall come down on Edom…6 The sword of the LORD is filled with blood…
for the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom. 7…their land shall be soaked with
blood…8 For it is the day of the LORD'S vengeance, the year of recompense for the cause of Zion. (Isaiah 34:1-8)
18 It shall be that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come and see My glory…23 All flesh shall come to worship
before Me…24 and they shall go forth and look upon the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me…
They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh." (Isaiah 66:18-24)
1 The LORD makes the earth empty and makes it waste, distorts its surface and scatters abroad its inhabitants…3 The
land shall be entirely emptied and utterly plundered…4 the haughty people of the earth languish. 5 The earth is defiled
under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws.. 6 Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and
those who dwell in it are desolate. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left…21 It shall
come to pass in that day that the LORD will punish on high the host of exalted ones (demonic principalities), and on
the earth the kings of the earth. 22 They will be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and will be shut
up in the prison; after many days they will be punished. 23 Then the moon will be disgraced and the sun ashamed; for
the LORD of hosts will reign on Mount Zion…before His elders, gloriously. (Isaiah 24:1-6, 21-23)
11 Behold, a white horse. He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes
war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns…13 He was clothed with a robe dipped
in blood…14 The armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now out of
His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron.
He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe…a name
written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. 17 Then I saw an angel…saying to all the birds…, "Come and gather
together for the supper of the great God, 18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of
mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small
and great." 19 I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him
who sat on the horse and against His army. 20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet…these
two were cast alive into the lake of fire…21 the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him
who sat on the horse. All the birds were filled with their flesh. (Revelation 19:11-21)
13 I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon (Satan), out of the mouth of the beast
(Antichrist), and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go
out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
16 And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. (Revelation 16:13-16)
19 The angel…gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20 And the
winepress was trampled (by Jesus) outside the city (Jerusalem), and blood came out of the winepress, up to the horses'
bridles, for 1,600 furlongs (1,600 stadia in NIV or 200 miles from Megiddo or Armageddon in the north to Bozrah in the
south) (Revelation. 14:19-20)
2 I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will enter into judgment with them
there...11 Assemble and come, all you nations, And gather together all around...9 Proclaim this among the nations:
"Prepare for war...let all the men of war draw near, let them come up...” 11 Assemble and come, all you nations…
12 Let the nations…come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
13 Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down; for the winepress is full, the vats overflow-- for their
wickedness is great." 14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! for the day of the LORD is near in the valley
of decision. 15 The sun and moon will grow dark, and the stars will diminish their brightness. 16 The LORD also will
roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; the heavens and earth will shake; but the LORD will be a shelter
for His people…17 "So you shall know that I am the LORD your God, dwelling in Zion My holy mountain. Then
Jerusalem shall be holy, and no aliens (foreign armies) shall ever pass through her again." (Joel 3:2, 9-17)
The LORD shall go forth like a mighty man; He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war. He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud; He
shall prevail against His enemies. 14 "I have held My peace a long time, I have been still and restrained Myself. Now I will
cry like a woman in labor, I will pant and gasp at once. 15 I will lay waste the mountains and hills, and dry up all their
vegetation; I will make the rivers coastlands, and I will dry up the pools.” (Isaiah 42:13-15)
3 Then the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle. In that day His feet will
stand on the Mount of Olives…and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, making a very large
valley…5 Then you shall flee through My mountain valley…Yes, you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the
days of Uzziah…Thus the LORD my God will come, and all the saints with You. (Zechariah 14:3-5)
12 This shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: their flesh shall
dissolve while they stand on their feet, their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, and their tongues shall dissolve in their
mouths. 13 It shall come to pass in that day that a great panic from the LORD will be among them. Everyone will seize
the hand of his neighbor, and raise his hand against his neighbor's hand; 14 Judah also will fight at Jerusalem. The
wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be gathered together: Gold, silver, and apparel in great abundance.
15 Such also shall be the plague on the horse and the mule, on the camel and the donkey, and on all the cattle
that will be in those camps. So shall this plague be. (Zechariah 14:12-15)
3 In that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in
pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it. 4 In that day," says the LORD, "I will strike every horse
with confusion, and its rider with madness…8 In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem…9 It shall
be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. (Zechariah 12:3, 8-9)
44 And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the
kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand
forever. (Daniel 2:44)
11 "I watched then because of the sound of the pompous words which the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast
was slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, they had their
dominion taken away… (Daniel 7:11-12)
1 The LORD (Father) said to my Lord (Jesus), "Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool." 2 The
LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies...4 The LORD has sworn…,
"You (Jesus) are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek." 5 The Lord is at Your (Jesus) right hand; He
(Jesus) shall execute kings in the day of His wrath (Battle of Jerusalem). 6 He (Jesus) shall judge among the nations,
He shall fill the places with dead bodies, He shall execute the heads of many countries. (Psalm 110:1-6)
1 Why do the nations rage, and the people (nations) plot a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the
rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against His Anointed…4 He (Father) who sits in the heavens shall
laugh; the LORD shall hold them in derision. 5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, and distress them in His deep
displeasure: 6 "Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion."…8 Ask of Me (Father), and I will give You (Jesus) the
nations for Your inheritance (Millennial Kingdom), and the ends of the earth for Your possession. 9 You shall break
them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel (Battle of Jerusalem)'" 10 Therefore, be
wise, O kings…11 serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you
perish in the way… (Psalm 2:1-12)
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand, 7 to execute vengeance on
the nations, and punishments on the peoples (nations); 8 to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters
of iron; 9 to execute on them the written judgment-- this honor have all His saints. (Psalm 149:6-9)
11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation; At the light of Your arrows they went, At the shining of Your glittering
spear. 12 You marched through the land in indignation; You trampled the nations in anger. 13 You went forth for the
salvation of Your people, For salvation with Your Anointed. You struck the head from the house of the wicked, By laying
bare from foundation to neck. (Habakkuk 3:11-13)
8 Therefore wait for Me…until the day I rise up for plunder; My determination is to gather the nations to My assembly of
kingdoms, to pour on them My indignation, all my fierce anger; all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of My jealousy.
(Zephaniah 3:8)
1 Behold, I am against you, O Gog (Antichrist)…2 I will turn you around and lead you on, bringing you up from the far
north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel. 3 Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand…4 You shall fall
upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops…I will give you to birds of prey…to be devoured. 5 You shall fall
on the open field…8 this is the day of which I have spoken. 11…I will give Gog a burial place in Israel…they will bury
Gog and all his multitude. (Ezekiel 39:1-11)
14 Come, I will advise you what this people (Israel) will do to your people in the latter days." 15 He took up his oracle and
said: "The utterance of Balaam…17 "A Star (Jesus) shall come out of Jacob (Israel); a Scepter shall rise out of Israel,
and batter the brow of Moab (modern day Jordan), and destroy all the sons of tumult. 18 "Edom shall be a possession;
Seir also, his enemies, shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly. 19 Out of Jacob One (Jesus) shall have
dominion, and destroy the remains of the city." 20 Then he looked on Amalek, and…said: "Amalek…shall be last
until he perishes." (Numbers 24:14-20)
