God gave me today a vision – He showed me His sealed tomb.
It is night. The Lord lay inside, behind a sealed heavy stone – dead. He was crucified and murdered just hours before.
Demons cavort and celebrate in the garden outside the tomb. Dancing around and upon the stone, the sing, “He is dead!”, “He can’t touch us no more!”, “we got Him! We won!”.
For a moment despair comes into my heart. Then, I remember His words, “they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised” – Matthew 17:23.
Suddenly a flash of Heavenly light and a hint of angelic song fills the air, the ground shakes. The stone moves under the stunned demons’ feet. All celebration and dance have left them, their eyes are wide in terror.
The demons scream. Terror fills their chests as they realize only in this moment their grave error.
While they danced and gloated, Jesus went to the underworld and emptied their realm. Every soul who had waited in hope – gone! Even the parents of man who created the fall are no longer in their prison. All gone!
The demons in this moment know their defeat. They scurry like cockroaches before the Lord of Light. Before the risen Lord Jesus they flee in terror. They run back to their dark, empty pit of Hell.
Death is destroyed! Sin is defeated!
Jesus Christ is risen today! Join the angel host, singing, “ALLELUIA AAAALLLEEEUUUIIIIAAA!
