The Lamb Shall Overcome Them


These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.” (Revelation 17:14, KJV 1900)

I'm reading in the book of Revelation this morning (SLC airport cooling my heels in a 3.5 hour sit!?!).  I love the certainty of the Scriptures when it comes to the end of history.   Here, when the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world goes up in battle against the titanic forces of evil, we find out the end result:  "The Lamb shall overcome them."  Not: "The Lamb might overcome them" or "We are very hopeful that the Lamb will overcome, but: "The Lamb shall overcome,"  Certain.  Sure. 

And so history will come to an end.  Christ wins.  Satan loses.
