Those
who were armed for battle received this message from the Lord: “Do not
be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is
not yours, but God’s” (2 Chronicles 21:15).
Now, we fight many battles. There will come a Day when these battles
will be behind us and we will share in the glory of God: “And just as we
have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the
likeness of the Man from heaven” (1 Corinthians 15:4-9).
The glory of the Lord will be revealed. There will be no king but the
Lord - “all the kings of the earth will revere Your glory” (Psalm 102:15).
" ... Will you ... come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, We are safe" - safe to do all these detestable things? Has this house, which bears My Name become a den of robbers to you? But I have been watching! declares the Lord" (Jeremiah 7:8-11). “God demands a conversion of the mind and heart as the basis of peace and security (cf. Is 26:3), not the superstitious veneration of a stone building or a traditionally sacred site” ( R K Harrison , Jeremiah ).
