Msg #1452 The Grandest Opposition Ever Conceived

What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

In the annals of human history no birth has been more opposed than the Noel just celebrated. Ever since God said that he would put enmity between Satan's seed and woman's seed, Satan has hated male births; ONE would bruise his head. Cain, “who was of that wicked one” (1John 3:12) slew his brother Able, so that the first male born became the first first degree murderer. Satan one, God zero. Satan heard God promise Abram, “And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives... if it be a son, then ye shall kill him” (Exod 1:15). Satan two, God zero. Satan heard God promise David, “And when Athaliah... saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal” (2Kings 11:1). Of Athaliah, as vile as mother Jezebel, one could say “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth” (John 8:44). Satan three, God zero. Remember in this contest, God only needs ONE! Satan contaminates the Davidic line, “Therefore thus saith the LORD of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David” (Jer 36:30) God sent his chosen into bondage where Hamon said “If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed” (Est 3:9). God said, “behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son” (Luk 1:31). “Then Herod... was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem!” Satan six, God zero. “And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS.” God ONE, Satan zero! Suppose Satan is a poor looser? Ask Adolf Hitler.
