The enemy had been killing the Colonel’s men for 3 days… hitting them with everything they had… beating on them again and again… hmmm… sounds a little like how they were killing Jesus… hitting Him with every thing they had… then hung Him on a cross..  “… they will kill Him…. and He will be raised on the third day.”   hmmmm…

I wonder what time it was when that stone was rolled away from His tomb… and Jesus came forth…  hmmmm… ya think maybe it could have been 5:57 A.M.  ? ? ?…. hmmmmm….   🙂

God’s enemy had been celebrating killing Jesus for 3 days… he went to great precautions to make sure there was no way Jesus could get out of that tomb…  but it didn’t work… Jesus did come forth…  Jesus  was raised  from the dead… on the third day… that third day was the day of God’s  total victory  over His enemy… it was over… the enemy was defeated… forever…

We were born into a world at war… where God’s enemy still thinks he can win it back.. so he is constantly attacking everything that God has created and called good. Just like the VietCong were ready to attack the Colonel and his men the final time… that morning….  at 5:57 A.M… on the  Third Day  of attacks… this attack would finish them off…

God’s people would try to defend themselves… like they always do… but His enemy  would overrun them and win again…  he would show God… hmmmm… ya think maybe….?    something different happened  this time though… this time the leader left the  defending  position… and  attacked  the enemy with all his men following him… ended in total victory…  annihilating the enemy… winning much more than just  the day  … hmmmm.. can we see something in this???

I am not teaching a doctrine of some sort… I am just sharing an experience that I had 11 years ago… just a story… and how many stories since… over the years…. hmmm..  who knows… try it…  you might just like it.
