Looking Through the Sea of Glass

A Failed Coup by Satan

Long before time began, a monumental battle took place in Heaven—a rebellion led by an archangel who devised a plan to overthrow the Almighty. His ambition was to elevate himself above God and establish his throne of worship. Such a foolish angel believed he could challenge the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Did the Father know that Lucifer would attempt to overthrow His divine kingdom? Absolutely. God, in His infinite wisdom, foresees all that the beings He created will do or say, as well as everything within the universe He brought into existence.  Because the Most High God is omniscient, He knows every secret thought of humankind long before they materialize, even those hidden beyond our daily awareness. We often overlook what Scripture teaches us: “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” declares the LORD. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine” (Isaiah 55:8, NLT).  So, the next time you consider hiding your thoughts or feelings or engaging in wicked deeds, remember—God knows you better than you know yourself. Every person alive will ultimately be accountable for their actions and must repent before facing final judgment. Our everlasting destiny—either in Heaven or Hell—is determined by our choices, with no middle ground or waiting place to pray someone out of purgatory.  This week, make it a point to read the Bible and reflect on these truths.
