(Nuggets from Obadiah 1:17)
"But on Mount Zion [in Jerusalem] there shall be deliverance [for those who escape], and it shall be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess its [own former] possessions." [Ezek. 36; Joel 2:32.]
On this penultimate day of the year 2025, God's word is strategic, and His desire is that you POSSESS ALL YOUR POSSESSIONS, leaving nothing behind.
Here, Obadiah was prophesying about the ULTIMATE TRIUMPH AND RESTORATION OF ISRAEL, GOD'S OWN NATION.
The RESTORATION and AGE-ENDURING PROSPERITY of the house of Jacob were highlighted from verse 17 till 21, showing how God will give them the entire possessions and put an end to all the opposition they have ever and will ever experience.
Israel has been undergoing stiff opposition from the time the Amalekites attacked them shortly after the Exodus from Egypt till date.
Currently, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen are their major enemies, while militant forces like Hamas and Hezbollah have been a thorn in the flesh of the nation Israel.
Gaza strip has been a bone of contention and a flashpoint in the ongoing war between Israel and Palestine for some decades now.
From 1933 to 1945, during the HOLOCAUST, the Nazi Germany regime headed by Adolf Hitler persecuted and murdered 6 million Jews. Unstoppable as they have always been, the nation of Israel began to return back to their native land and the state of Israel was officially declared on 14th May, 1948.
Since then, the nation Israel has been facing stiff opposition till date, which will culminate towards the end of the great tribulation when the antichrist and his forces will want to annihilate them after deceiving them and breaking the truce, during which time Jesus Christ our Lord will surface with His angels in the battle of Armageddon.
Jesus Christ will come in His glory as the King of kings and the Lord of lords and put an end to the assault of the antichrist and his forces to the nation Israel, marking the end of wicked human rule and the beginning of CHRIST'S MILLENNIAL REIGN - THE GOLDEN AGE.
By extension, God's own children who are SINCERE AND GENUINE, have been facing stiff opposition and assault by the enemies, denying them their possessions and oppressing them with reckless abandon.
However, God says that the time to end the oppression has finally come.
He will deliver you from the hands of the enemies, but THERE IS A CONDITION - THERE SHALL BE HOLINESS.
This is the essence of the HOLINESS CHALLENGE; you can't have unrestricted access to God's blessings without HOLINESS.
DEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO GOD, PLEASE HIM EVERY DAY AND YOU WILL POSSESS ALL YOUR POSSESSIONS NOW AND IN THE NEW YEAR AND YEARS AHEAD.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
DAY 364 OF 365🔥
