"THE OLD GUARD DIES, BUT IT DOES NOT SURRENDER."
__General Cambronne


Napoleon's French elite Old Guard fighting fiercely at the Battle
of Waterloo was brave and courageous but it could not hold the
line against Wellington's (the Iron Duke) British infantry.


At the end, the French General Cambronne was commanding the
last remnants of Napoleon's Old Guard and was called upon by the
British General Colville to surrender.


General Cambronne replied:


"THE OLD GUARD DIES, BUT IT DOES NOT SURRENDER."


Whether historically true or not, the story presents an excellent
opportunity to state a strong Christian declaration:


CHRISTENDOM'S OLD GUARD NEITHER DIES OR SURRENDERS.


NEVER.


NOT EVER.


Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the Earth. I did not
come to bring peace but a sword __The Lord Jesus (Matthew 10:34)


The Lion Of The Tribe Of Judah cannot be defeated.


He (Jesus) must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.


"The LORD is a Warrior."
Exodus 15:3


Victory.
