There is a battle against the enemy that Israel and we must undertake. For Israel this was against real flesh and blood enemies, but as Paul says, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places." We must heed the numerous calls in Scripture to see the warfare in which we are engaged and be prepared to resist the enticements of darkness and sin.
