2. This is a battle for authority: Whose will should prevail in all matters of creation and destiny?

See Appendix 1, The Story of God: Our Sacred Roots

a. Isa. 43.10 – “You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me.”

b. Isa. 44.8 – Fear not, nor be afraid; have I not told you from of old and declared it? And you are my witnesses! Is there a God besides me? There is no Rock; I know not any.

3. This is a battle for glory: Who is worthy to receive the praise and glory for the splendor of creation and life? Ps. 115.1-3 – Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness! [2] Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” [3] Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases.

The Fight Is On! God declares that, because of sin and rebellion, the entire universe is at war. Since the creation of the universe, a battle has been raging in the heavenlies where God has determined to rescue the universe from the effects of the curse of Satan and the fi rst human pair. Every- thing is at stake, and not one square inch is not being contested. It is a knock-down, drag-out warfare for the fi nal control and destiny of creation. It is a battle for preeminence in the universe!
