The Eternal Battle | Elohim’s Daily Engagement in the Energetic War

The concept of an ongoing cosmic battle is deeply ingrained in many spiritual traditions. In Messianic Judaism, this battle is framed within the context of Elohim’s constant struggle against demonic forces that have infiltrated human vessels and the spirit realm. This article explores how Elohim leverages His power, along with His angels, divine lineage, and the spirit of ancestors from ancient civilizations, to combat these dark forces. We will use Hebrew symbols and language and provide biblical scriptural support from the World Messianic Bible to elucidate this eternal conflict.

The Nature of the Energetic War

Elohim (אֱלֹהִים) is depicted as the supreme force, constantly engaged in a battle against demons (שֵׁדִים) that seek to corrupt and dominate the human spirit and the physical world. This war is not just a clash of physical might but an energetic and spiritual confrontation, affecting both the seen and unseen realms.

The Role of Angels

Angels (מַלְאָכִים) are essential agents in Elohim’s cosmic army. They serve as messengers, warriors, and protectors, executing divine commands and combating demonic entities. The Book of Daniel provides a vivid portrayal of angelic warfare:

*”But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I remained there with the kings of Persia.”* (Daniel 10:13, WMB)

This passage highlights the ongoing struggle in the spiritual realm, where angelic beings like Michael (מִיכָאֵל) engage in battles against powerful demonic forces.

The Power of Elohim

Elohim’s power is limitless and encompasses the universe. This power is often described in terms of light (אוֹר), purity (טָהֳרָה), and truth (אֱמֶת). Elohim’s presence dispels darkness (חֹשֶׁךְ) and brings order out of chaos (תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ):

*”The earth was formless and void; darkness was on the surface of the deep. Elohim’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters. Elohim said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”* (Genesis 1:2–3, WMB)

This creative power of Elohim is also a destructive force against evil, constantly working to restore divine order and righteousness (צְדָקָה).

Divine Lineage and Ancestral Spirits

The divine lineage of Elohim includes the patriarchs, prophets, and righteous ancestors whose spirits continue to influence and protect the faithful. The Hebrew Bible (תַּנַ”ךְ) frequently references the power of these ancestral spirits:

*”Remember the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.”* (Deuteronomy 32:7, WMB)

The spirit of the ancestors (רוּחַ הַאֲבוֹת) from ancient civilizations plays a crucial role in guiding and empowering believers, providing wisdom and strength to resist demonic influences.

Hebrew Symbols and Language

Hebrew symbols and language carry profound spiritual significance in this cosmic battle. For example, the Tetragrammaton (יְהֹוָה) represents the ineffable name of God, embodying His ultimate power and authority. The Menorah (מְנוֹרָה), with its seven branches, symbolizes the divine light that dispels darkness.

Scriptural Support from the World Messianic Bible

The World Messianic Bible provides a wealth of scriptural support for understanding this spiritual warfare. In Ephesians, Paul speaks of the spiritual armor necessary for this battle:

*”Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”* (Ephesians 6:11–12, WMB)

Conclusion

The energetic war between Elohim and demonic forces is a fundamental aspect of spiritual life. Through His infinite power, His angels, and the spirit of ancestors from ancient civilizations, Elohim continuously combats the forces of darkness. By understanding and engaging in this spiritual warfare, believers can align themselves with divine purpose and contribute to the manifestation of Elohim’s kingdom on Earth.

As we navigate this cosmic battle, let us be reminded of Elohim’s promise of ultimate victory and the enduring power of His light and truth. May we be steadfast in our faith and vigilant in our spiritual journey, knowing that Elohim is ever-present, guiding and protecting us in this eternal struggle.
