Here,
on earth, there is spiritual warfare. We do not fight in our own
strength - "The Lord will go out and fight against those nations"
(Zechariah 14:3). When the Lord returns, there will be His triumph over
all His enemies: "The Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones will
be with Him" (Zechariah 14:5). We must not lose sight of the eternal
perspective. This is what gives us encouragement: "the Lord will be King
over all the earth. On that day, the Lord will be the only Lord, and
His Name the only name" (Zechariah 14:9).
"Be careful! Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!" (Matthew 17:6),. even after there us divine revelation (Matthew 16:17), the influence of evil can be felt (Matthew 16:23), The warning - "Be careful! Watch out ... !" must never be forgotten. Satan is looking for an opportunity to leads us away from the Lord. We must hear what Jesus is saying to us about discipleship (Matthew 16:24), and we must commit ourselves to Him (Matthew 16:25). There is nothing more important than this (Matthew 16:26). If we are to be true followers of Jesus, we must learn to live our lives in the light of eternity (Matthew 16:27). We are to seek revelations of God's eternal Kingdom, revelations which will send us back, from the mountain-top, to live each day for Jesus.
