In the Name of the Lord, We Set Up Our Banners

Jesus

Not too long ago, a little boy asked me to play a board game. I agreed. He pushed the instructions toward me and told me to read them. I asked him about one of the playing pieces. “What does the flag stand for?”

He was quick to inform me in a rather definitive voice, When you capture the flag, you win.

A little child shall lead them.

Psalm 20:5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.

In a Bible Dictionary, Peloubet’s Bible Dictionary, “banner” is referred to under “ensign”. Among the definitions it says this: “probably resembled…a figure or device of some kind elevated on a pole…such as…the king’s name.”

And who is the King’s name? The name of Jesus.

And so when the authority of the name of Jesus is used over a situation, when Jesus is Lord, the victory is won.

When you capture the flag, you win.

6 But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down); 7 or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)” 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith which we preach: 9 that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart, one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him. 13 For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
