Message
On June 17, 1812, the US Senate approved a House-passed resolution declaring war with Great Britain. According to the text of the declaration, “…the President of the United States is hereby authorized to use the whole land and naval force of the United States to carry the same into effect…” A declaration of war is a formal act by which one state announces existing or impending war activity against another.
In our text today, notice is given of a perpetual quarrel commenced between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan: war is proclaimed between the seed of the woman and the seed of the Serpent. According to this declaration, there is going to be a continual conflict between God’s people and Satan. Heaven and hell can never be reconciled. This war will continue while there is a single godly man on this side heaven, and a wicked man on this side hell. The outcome of the conflict is already determined. Good will triumph over evil. On which side of the conflict do you belong?
