‘The
king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon all the men of valour… all
of them strong and fit for war’(24:16). A prisoner of war is taken out
of the battle. We have been given ‘the whole armour of God’(Ephesians
6:11,13). We must use‘the weapons of our warfare’. We must ‘take every
thought captive to obey Christ’(2 Corinthians 10:3-6). It is not easy to
‘fight the good fight of faith’(1 Timothy 6:12). Satan wants to make us
his prisoners of war. Satan is a very powerful enemy - ‘the whole world
is in the power of the evil one’. We must live as those who ‘are of
God’, firmly convinced that ‘He who is in us is greater than he who is
in the world’(1 John 6:19; 1:4). The world seems so strong. The devil
seems so powerful. It will not always be so - ‘Hallelujah!’(Revelation
16:19; 18:21; 20:10; 19:1,6-7).
