The Standard

“When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.” Isa 59:19

WEB. standard
1 any figure or object, esp. a flag or banner, used as an emblem or symbol of a leader, people, military unit, etc.; specif., a) Heraldry a long, tapering flag used as an ensign, as by a king b) Mil. the colors of a cavalry unit

Your standard is made up of God’s Name, His Word and His blood, which precede the manifestation of His Glory. God’s Spirit is upon you and He has anointed you to herald the victory. When you declare His Name, His Word and His Blood you hold up the banner of His Kingdom. And where His banner is He is. His Name, Word and Blood have already bought and brought liberty, and are the armory for victory.

The Word that you wield is your Sword and your Shield, by it the Standard held and the Glory revealed.

Isa 59:14 – 60:3
14 Justice is turned back,
And righteousness stands afar off;
For truth is fallen in the street,
And equity cannot enter.
15 So truth fails,
And he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.
Then the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him
That there was no justice.
16 He saw that there was no man,
And wondered that there was no intercessor;
Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him;
And His own righteousness, it sustained Him.
17 For He put on righteousness as a breastplate,
And a helmet of salvation on His head;
He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing,
And was clad with zeal as a cloak.
18 According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay,
Fury to His adversaries,
Recompense to His enemies;
The coastlands He will fully repay.
19 So shall they fear
The name of the Lord from the west,
And His glory from the rising of the sun;
When the enemy comes in like a flood,
The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.

20 "The Redeemer will come to Zion,
And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,"
Says the Lord.

21 "As for Me," says the Lord, "this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants' descendants," says the Lord, "from this time and forevermore."

1 Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.
3 The Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.
