Many times over the past year I have had to think of my loved ones - TopicsExpress



          

Many times over the past year I have had to think of my loved ones and even myself passing through death and approaching Jesus Christ. The Word of God and the following narrative have been very helpful to me. May I share this with you. Death is robbed of much of its terror for the true believer, but we still need Gods protection as we take that last journey. At the moment of death the spirit departs from the body and moves through the atmosphere. But the Scripture teaches us that the devil lurks then. He is the prince of the power of the air (Ephesians 2:2). If the eyes of our understanding were opened, we would probably see the air filled with demons, the enemies of Christ. If Satan could hinder the angel of Daniel 10 for three weeks on his mission to earth, we can imagine the opposition a Christian may encounter at death. But Christ on Calvary cleared a road through Satans kingdom. When Christ came to earth, He had to pass through the devils territory and open up a beachhead here. That is one reason He was accompanied by a host of angels when He came (Luke 2:18-14). and this is why holy angels will accompany Him when he comes again (Matthew 16:27). Till then, the moment of death is Satans final opportunity to attack the true believer; but God has sent His angels to guard us at that time. How thankful we should be for that promise. Billy Graham
