Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “He that Overcometh” – Jesus reminds us that the mysteries found only in our God are “[hidden]…from the wise and prudent, and…revealed…unto babes [simple-minded individuals]” (Matthew 11:25 and Luke 10:21). In order to truly feast on the revelation of Jesus Christ, we must understand that it is the true hidden manna to our souls (see John 6). When John talks about that “white stone” with “a new name written” (Revelation 2:17), only the Holy Spirit of God is able to reveal unto us that this is the same stone that Daniel saw “cut out without hands.” In Daniel’s vision, that stone “smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces” (Daniel 2:34). The image represents nations that will try to assist the anti-Christ to subdue the earth. However, the stone represents Jesus Christ! Even during the tribulation period (which is to come), our God will encourage those who still exist to overcome – not comply with, but OVERCOME the anti-Christ nations!
Precious Ones, in the last days the knowledge of these mysteries will come forth. That “new name” will be Jesus, but no one will receive it (or know it) because Satan and his leaders will attempt to eradicate that Name in the majority of the world. Remember, Matthew taught us that all will not receive Jesus as Savior (Matthew 11:14). That is why it is said, “If ye will believe…” Here is the point – today there are people who are trying desperately to eradicate the Name of Jesus from the minds of the general populace. We must overcome this mode of thinking. Let the saints pray and fast (if needed) to protect our Savior’s Name!
I will write more on this subject next week. Until then, know this…
I love you all SO very much,
In His Love,
Pastor William L. McCoy
