D-Day Anniversary~

Today is the 68th Anniversary of  D-Day~

June 6, 1944 was the day that 160,000 Allied Forces landed on the Normandy shores over a stretch of 50 miles in 2 waves-by air and on land, to fight the Germans. President Eisenhower said that this "crusade" would be something where he would accept nothing less than victory. By the end of the day the Allied Forces did move forward toward victory but at a great cost since more than 5,000 lives were lost that day. D-Day stands for the day that  an significant operation will take place. World War II continued until June 1945 when victory was announced.

Our country has been through a number of wars in our past-the Civil War, World War I & II, Vietnam, & Korea. We are even now still in a war as our troops are in Afghanistan and other eastern countries. But these wars pale in comparison to the final war that will take place here on earth. We are told in God's Word that Christ will come back for the Christian and there is a timeline from there. We have a 7 year tribulation, then a 1,000 year millennial reign, and then there will be a final war before Christ destroys Satan for good and then destroys this heaven and earth to give us a new one where we will live with Him for eternity. 

Revelation 18:10-14

"And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

   And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

   And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

   These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

   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."

For now we need to live one day at a time, witnessing to all those the Christ puts in our path. Share with them the love of Christ and what He has done for you in changing your life. He reached down and took me out of a miry pit-saved my soul and gave me everlasting life. What could be a more wonderful story to tell than that? There will be another D-Day-we don't when at this point but we are one day closer. Take every opportunity that God gives you.
