This phrase, “Shelter in Place,” has become a common warning in our day. Usually used during dangerous weather threats and catastrophes, as all creation groans for the manifestations of the sons of God. The increase in these worldwide catastrophes cannot be denied. Being here in the Middle East, it has a different use. The threat of wars and rumors of wars have swirled for years over the region as all of the nations of the world are being gathered for a final confrontation of the Satanic forces and King Jesus with His Kingdom to come.
Be not deceived, HE IS COMING AGAIN! Even as rockets are being launched into Israel and controlled strikes in southern Lebanon and Beirut by Israel.
In the verses above, the shelter in place for the people of God is He Himself. They run to Him, into His name. The word of the Lord describes Him as our refuge, tower, bulwark, shelter, fortress, shield, and a secret place that He only knows. What a great blessed assurance we have being hidden in Him. His name is above every name and He has given it to us.
As we face the uncertainty of these times, where the heavens above are full of the last battle for this globe — God’s creation and Satan’s false claim — we have a place of safety and protection. In Him, there is no darkness at all. He has provided for us, and in this place is fullness of joy, not just survival, but so much more. For the righteous, when we look up we do not see catastrophes, but we see:
Fear not and run into Him! Hallelujah the King is coming!
