Spoiling the Strong's Man's House

Chris McCann
Mark 3:24Mark 3:272 Chronicles 20:25Zechariah 14:1

We've recently learned that this passage is describing the fall of Babylon (this world) in our present time as God has brought to pass judgment on the world:

Mark 3:24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.

The world's division is evident. The word 'divided' is being used as a form of commentary on things happening all over the earth.

Given the context of the above Scriptures, which we now can identify as describing events associated with Judgment Day, isn't it interesting that in the next verse we read:

Mark 3:27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

Again, we know that in order for Satan's kingdom to fall and be divided, it was necessary to depose Satan himself. And on the date of May 21, 2011 Satan was put down from all official rule over this world – as the Lord Jesus Christ took his kingdom away from Him and began to rule as King of the earth (King over all kings) ruling with a rod of iron and seated upon a judgment throne.

Certainly, a stronger than he (Satan) has come and will spoil the goods of the strong man's house (the kingdom of this world) as this world will be given to God's elect as a spoil of the victory won by the Lord Jesus Christ:

2 Chronicles 20:25 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.

Zechariah 14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
