His Truth Is Marching On :: By Daymond Duck
Note to all readers: My computer was hacked and damaged beyond repair. I have been without a computer for four days. I am now learning a new computer and system. If you sent me an email that wasn’t answered, I probably won’t get around to answering it. I apologize. I am also way behind on what is going on, but here is the article I was working on when I was hacked.
A faithful reader recently sent me the words to the first verse of The Battle Hymn of the Republic and a link to an article by Leonard Grunstein (retired attorney, banker, author) that caused her to think of it.
The words are:
Mine eyes have seen the Glory of the coming of the Lord,
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored,
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword,
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
On Dec. 31, 2024, Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) posted an article by Leonard Grunstein (author, attorney, banker), who was responding to a crowd of Muslims that chanted “Mr. President, take us to Jerusalem” during a speech by Turkey’s President Erdogan. Grunstein noted that Erdogan has often said in the last four years that Jerusalem belongs to Turkey.
Grunstein ended his article by saying Jerusalem does not belong to Turkey.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! God’s truth is marching on.
Consider these words from Zech. 8:2-8.
- “Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
- Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
- Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
- And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
- Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.
- Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
- And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.”
God’s Word is truth (II Tim. 2:15), and Mr. Erdogan would do well to abandon the lie that Jerusalem belongs to Turkey.
On Jan. 7, 2025, Tim Moore, Director and Senior Evangelist at Lamb and Lion Ministries, wrote:
- The greatest of all the end-time signs is the existence of Israel.
- The “dry bones” have been regathered into a modern nation-state (Ezekiel 36-37) that continues to survive despite the concerted efforts of satanically inspired purveyors of hate.
- For those who have visited the Promised Land, you have witnessed the beauty and wonder of a restored Israel with your own eyes.
- For those who have not been able to visit Israel, a nation coming back from the dead as prophesied testifies to the Lord’s doing.
- The miracle that is Israel is truly marvelous in our eyes!
(My opinion: I agree. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! God’s truth is marching on, and it is marvelous in the eyes of those that are watching.)
(By the way: “Watch” is a command, not a suggestion.)
Here is more truth from the book of Zechariah (Zech. 12:1-3).
- “The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
- Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
- And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”
The Creator of all things said all who attack Jerusalem (at the end of the age) will be cut in pieces, and there are not enough people on earth to capture Jerusalem.
Israel is under attack on seven fronts today (from Iran, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Syria, Hamas and others in the Gaza Strip, Iraq, the Houthis in Yemen, and from terrorists inside Israel in Judea and Samaria), and all her attackers are losing.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! God’s truth is marching on.
Many of those that are attacking Israel today are proxies of Iran.
Iran is threatening to attack Israel soon.
On Jan. 9, 2025, Harbinger’s Daily posted an article by Robert Gottselig (Director of The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry in Canada), and Gottselig said:
- Students of God’s Word know that Iran will continue in its demonic plans to attack Israel until the God of Israel brings it to a decisive end, as we read in Ezekiel 38-39.
- The truth is that the Iranian regime’s days are numbered, and they ought to tremble before the God of Israel—who neither slumbers nor sleeps.
- God is indeed taking note, and judgment will come one day soon.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! God’s truth is marching on.
Here are more reasons to believe this way.
One, on Jan. 8, 2025, Jimmy Evans, founder and former senior pastor of Trinity Fellowship Church in Amarillo, Texas, said he loves Bible prophecy and he intends to focus on teaching it the rest of his life.
According to his website,
- We are living in a moment of widespread uncertainty.
- People are fearful.
- The news is almost always negative.
- That’s because we are living at the end of the end times.
- But God gave us Bible prophecy not to cause fear but to bring hope.
- It is more important than ever to bring our message of hope to those who are confused, frightened, or upset by the state of the world.
- We want to prepare believers for the return of Jesus Christ.
(FYI: I do not know why Jimmy Evans said end of the end times, but I know that the Battle of Gog and Magog will take place in the latter years and latter days, and some prophecy teachers believe latter years and latter days means at the end of the end times. I believe pastor Evans is right and am delighted to see the truth of Bible prophecy marching on.)
(More: On Jan. 14, 2025, it was reported that Russia’s Pres. Putin and Iran’s Pres. Pezeshkian will sign a comprehensive partnership pact with far-reaching military implications in Moscow on Jan. 17, 2025.)
Two, concerning Israel being a great army and expanding its borders at the end of the age: a key provision of Israel’s ceasefire agreement with Lebanon requires Lebanon to remove Hezbollah from south of the Litani River.
Lebanon has not met that requirement, so on Jan. 8, 2025, Israeli officials said they will not withdraw their military from Lebanon until Lebanon meets it.
(More: Lebanon said its military is not strong enough to do it, so the Biden administration has transferred more than $100 million ($95 million that was appropriated for Egypt and $7.5 million that was appropriated for Israel) from Egypt and Israel to Lebanon. The problem is that Hezbollah has infiltrated Lebanon’s army, and they will wind up with part of the money and can use it to fight Israel.)
Three, concerning wars and rumors of wars at the end of the age:
- On Jan. 8, 2025, U.S. jets carried out multiple strikes against two underground Iranian-backed Houthi weapons storage facilities in Yemen.
- On Jan. 9, 2025, the Houthis in Yemen launched three drones at Israel. All of them were shot down.
- On Jan. 10, 2025, the U.S. and UK attacked ports, a power station, and some military infrastructure in Yemen.
Four, concerning bad leaders, leaders with reprobate minds, etc. at the end of the age, according to Zero Hedge as of Friday morning (1-10-25), the LA fires have:
- Killed at least ten people.
- Forced the evacuation of 180,000 people.
- Destroyed more than 10,000 structures.
- Caused up to $150 billion in preliminary damages and economic losses.
The LA Times reported that the Santa Ynez Reservoir (a critical 117-million-gallon water source that could have prevented a lot of this) has been empty and offline for almost a year.
(My comment: I have been asked if I think the judgment of God is falling on LA. I do not know. But I do know that one way God judges people is to give them bad leaders. He does this to motivate repentance and prayer. He will help those that repent and pray. But He may ramp it up if they don’t repent and pray.)
Five, concerning bad leaders, leaders with reprobate minds, etc., at the end of the age: according to The Expose on Jan. 10, 2025, the UK is expecting freezing temperatures in the coming weeks, and it only has one week’s worth of natural gas.
The low gas reserves are a result of the UK’s reliance on wind farms, but the wind speeds have been low and the wind farms are not producing enough energy.
(My comment: The UK citizens have been turning away from God and Israel for years. God is loving and patient, but there will be a payday someday, and elections have consequences.)
Six, concerning world government: on Jan. 8, 2025, Vasko Kohlmayer (author, grew up in Communist Czechoslovakia), expressed his opinion that globalism is collapsing.Top of Form
Some of his reasons include:
- The election of Donald Trump.
- The resignation of Justin Trudeau.
- The possibility that the governments of Austria, Germany, France, Britain, and others could fall.
Kolhmayer says public discontent is reaching a boiling point.
(My opinion on this: Jesus said there will be distress of nations with perplexity – discontent on earth – when His return is near; see Luke 21:25-27.)
Kolhmayer believes the globalists were largely successful in controlling the public discontent with demonization and censorship for a while, but those tactics started failing when Elon Musk bought Twitter (now platform X) because Musk reaches people all over the world, and he started letting the truth come out.
Kolhmayer said:
- The globalists are the real enemies of Democracy.
- The truth is the exact opposite of what they claim.
- They cannot withstand the truth.
Here is a link to his article.
(My opinion: Several times, Jesus warned about deceit at the end of the age. Discontented people will eventually cry out for a man with a plan; there will be a world government, but God’s people will not be here. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! God’s truth is marching on.)
Seven, concerning globalists demonizing and censoring people: on Jan. 9, 2025, Pres. Biden delivered a eulogy at the funeral of former Pres. Jimmy Carter at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C.
Carter’s casket was on a stage in the Cathedral.
The stage floor had a large Christian cross emblazoned on the floor with four more smaller Christian crosses emblazoned on the floor around the large cross.
Carter’s casket rested over the center of the large cross (where the vertical and horizontal bars crossed) with the four smaller crosses surrounding his casket.
Carter was a Christian, and to be surrounded by one of the most important Christian symbols on earth is very appropriate.
But here is the issue: Democrat Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has been criticizing Pres. Trump’s nominee to head the Defense Dept. (Pete Hegseth) for, among other things, having a Christian symbol tattooed on his body.
She thinks this makes Hegseth an extremist.
FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).
Finally, are you Rapture Ready?
If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.
