There have been many famous rally cries throughout history. The Texans raised one, birthed in March 1836, when, as they fought against Mexico, shouted, "Remember the Alamo!" "Fifty-four Forty or Fight!" was
the famous 1844 presidential campaign slogan of James Knox Polk that
contributed to his unexpected victory. The slogan was named after a line of latitude that served as the northern border of Oregon at 54 degrees 40 minutes.
The American Revolution gave rise to dozens of rallying cries—“No
Taxation Without Representation;” “Join or Die;” “Don’t Tread on Me”—but
few had as significant an impact as “Liberty or Death.” The phrase
first appeared in a March 1775 address by Patrick Henry, in which he said, "I know not what course others may take, but give me liberty or give me death!"
Satan has his rally cry and those who are Bible-tuned heard it loud and clear last week. Satan's rally cry is 4,000 years old, beginning with God's sovereign choice of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and he's relentless in repeating it, whether in print or shouted verbally. In such repetition, he's indefatigable. The Egyptian pharaoh shouted it as did Haman.
Today, the cry still rings throughout the world: In July 2017, "a California imam delivered a ferociously anti-Semitic sermon from his podium at the Islamic Center of Davis, calling for Allah to 'annihilate' the Jews 'down to the very last one."” "All Jews must die" was rally cry the murderer of 11 Jews attending a synagogue service in Pittsburgh shouted, not once, but over and over again just this month.
The shout will be on other during the Great Tribulation when the Anti-Christ reveals himself to be Satan's fool and tool to annihilate God's chosen people, as he tries, but will fail, to eliminate the people to whom God must fulfill the promises of the Abrahamic, Palestinian, Davidic, and New Covenants.
It's a rally cry doomed for failure. Ps. 87:35-37 says so: "Once I have sworn by My holiness;
I will not lie to David. His descendants shall endure forever and his throne as the sun before Me. It shall be established forever like the moon, and the witness in the sky is faithful."
