THE NAMES OF GOD ... DAY 5 ... JEHOVAH THE MAN OF WAR

TUESDAY 05 JUNE 2018
THE LORD IS THE MAN OF WAR



EXODUS 15:3 "The LORD is a Man of War: The LORD is His Name."

This passage is part of the song of Moses that was offered in praise over the crossing of the Red Sea after God destroyed the Egyptian army. When Moses calls God "The man of war", he simply means that though God is in heaven, he steps in the midst of our battles  and fights to do battle for us.

In Exodus 14:14, Moses exhorts the people saying, "The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace."

We read the same In Deuteronomy 1:301 Samuel 17:47 and 2 Chronicles 20:15.

HOW DOES JEHOVAH THE MAN OF WAR FIGHT FOR US?

1) Jehovah troubles those who trouble us

Exodus 14:24 "...the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians ... and troubled the host of the Egyptians,"

2) Jehovah makes difficult and complicates the progress of those who fight our progress

Exodus 14:25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.

3) Jehovah makes those who hold illegally what belongs to us to flee and drop it by causing them hear strange and terrifying noises

2 Kings 7:6 "For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, [even] the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.

4) Jehovah appears to them in night dreams, troubles their sleep and threatens them to drop what belongs to us.

Genesis 20:3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou [art but] a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she [is] a man’s wife.


5) Jehovah causes those who fight you to fight one another until they destroy one another.

2 Chronicles 20:23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up  ... every one helped to destroy another.

WHAT TO DO?

1. The Lord will fight for you when you hold your peace and let him fight for you. (Exdus 14:14)
2. The Lord will fight for you when you praise him in the midst of the battle (2 Chronicles 20:22-25)
