The Tabernacles are empty, the Altars are stripped, and Christ lays in the tomb. It seems as though Satan has won, and he must have thought so. You can imagine the infernal ecstasy. Imagine, too, the horror of the Adversary as Christ rises from the dead, demolishing the calculus of the Pit.
Consummatum est. It is finished, the perfect sacrifice is made, man is reconciled to God and the powers of Hell cast down, only to rage in fury as they descend into the Lake of Fire.
They take their followers with them, the followers of the False Prophet Caiaphas, who on the sixth hour of the sixth day stamp their foreheads with the mark of the Beast crying out, "We have no king but Caesar!"
We follow a different King, the Lord of Life, who reigns victorious on the hard wood of the Cross. Satan and death have no power over us.
Rejoice in that and stand firm.
God bless,

I rejoice.
Same here, Ed.
Thank you...
An event with two thousands legs that has stood the test of time. It will outlive all the doubters, as it should.
It's a hard day, Adrienne, but we mustn't forget the victory.
Well said, WSF. 100%.
"Rejoice in that and stand firm" Amen
Bless you, Brig!
