TOPIC: REMOVING LIFE’S RESISTANCE
TEXT: Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the Lord, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain (Jeremiah 51:25).
Jeremiah 51 describes how God would rise up against Babylon. While this chapter speaks of literal ancient Babylon, Revelation 17 depicts its symbolic sense, which is that Babylon always represents sin and resistance to God. Jeremiah 51:25 says God will burn the mountain of Babylon. Then in Zechariah 4:7, the prophet also tells the mountain that it will become a plain, meaning that it will be destroyed. Mountains always speak of something considered immoveable, so God destroying it makes the statement that all resistance must bow to Him. The next question is, what method did God use to destroy this resistant mountain? Zechariah 4:7 says the Lord instructed Zerubbabel to shout at the mountain and cry grace to it. This brings more understanding to when Jesus told His disciples they could literally speak to the mountain to remove it (see Mark 11:23-24). He was showing that they had the power to tear the mountain down or remove resistance by speaking.
You have the ability speak to the mountain resisting you. It may be tempting to just keep looking at it and give in to worry, but Jesus gave you the power to speak to it. Go ahead, shout and tear the mountain down!
