Terrorist Behind The Terrosist

"The devil who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are.  And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever."  
Revelation 20:10

Osama Bin Laden has been the main front page news story this past week, and I'm sure will be for the next little while.   I have to admit, I hadn't given much thought to Osama for quite some time.  I figured he was already dead, or living a miserable life on the run, hopping from cave to cave in some remote god forsaken part of the world.  As we all know now, he was alive and well and not hopping from cave to cave.  Now that the world's most wanted terrorist has been dealt with, it is important that we remember that the worst of all terrorists is still alive and well, and lurking about seeking whom he might devour.  There is a terrorist behind all terrorists and he is still busy at his work.  His day of judgment will come, and all of creation will truly rejoice, but that time has not yet come, so we must always be wary and alert concerning his workings.  The Bible gives many names to this terrorist, all of which describe areas of his character, these names ought to be enough to stir us all to walk in vigilance.  This we know, the Bible calls this terrorist our enemy, he hates our God, and therefore hates us.  When you add to enemy, the other names describing him you realize he makes Bin Laden look like a girl scout.  These names include.....murderer, destroyer, thief, adversary, wicked, corrupt, accuser, ruler of darkness, prince of demons, evil one, serpent, tempter.....I think you get the point!  We ought always to be awake, for this terrorist enemy of ours is still doing his murderous work from the spiritual realm.  The end of our enemy will joyously come at the coming of Jesus, but he is still out and about today, and we can't rely on Navy Seals for help.  The battle is ours, and the victory is assured.  We must be a people of prayer, an army on our knees, walking in the authority of the name of Jesus, and the certainty of triumph in His cross.
