A Simple Bible promise
No weapon formed against thee prospereth, And every tongue rising against thee, In judgment thou condemnest.
This is the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah, And their righteousness from me, an affirmation of Jehovah!
Isaiah 54:17, Young's Literal Translation
Isaiah 54:17, Young's Literal Translation
This Easter season, I've searched parts of the New Testament, uncovering paths that lead to Bible promises.
But there's a simple Old Testament promise that doesn't need uncovering. It's a promise that's well-known and plain as day:
"No weapon formed against you will prosper. And every tongue [that will not repent], in the Judgment you will condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord. Their righteousness, from Heaven, affirms their place in Me."
What I have uncovered, today, is the fact that people, as individuals, too often are becoming weapons. And some ministries are giving such souls false comfort, telling them Jesus "justifies" the ungodly.
But "justify," in the New Testament, means "to make right." So, faith in Jesus makes right the ungodly.
... Remember, when Jesus's ministry was first revealed to Israel, John the Baptist's message was that everyone needed to "Repent!" Then, Jesus said the same, more softly. Then the disciples said the same, in more detail.
Repent. No weapon (other than Jesus's word) will prosper.
Contrary to versions of scripture that say no weapon will succeed, indeed, many weapons outside of Christ are succeeding. But, ultimately, none can prosper. In the eternal sense, every weapon outside of Christ will be condemned, unless the soul repents!

No weapon formed against my hope can prosper.
