Nahum 2:1
The scatterer has come up against you. Man the ramparts; watch the road; dress for battle; collect all your strength.
When you can see that you are up against it, there is nothing left to do but to go up against it.
MAN THE RAMPARTS
The ramparts are where you take a stand. A man places himself between his beloved and the danger that comes against her. When the scatterer comes to destroy all that you've gathered, play the man and man your post.
WATCH THE ROAD
The enemy comes in predictable fashion. Sin may seek to surprise us, but we should never be caught off guard. We are not ignorant of its schemes. Watch the road. Keep your eyes on the places it has previously tread down. Don't be ready to watch, be watchful.
DRESS FOR BATTLE
The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war. Do not wait to get ready, be ready. Dress for battle beforehand. Put on the whole armor of God. The enemy will hold nothing back. Don't have your gear at hand, have it on.
COLLECT ALL YOUR STRENGTH
Collect all your strength. Gather all you can muster against the scatterer. Do not scramble. Collect yourself ahead of time. Gather your strength against the scatterer before its needed.
Matthew 12:30
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
The one who gathers with sin is a scatterer against the Savior. The one who scatters from sin is a gatherer with God.
1 Corinthians 16:13-14
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
Let all your things be done with charity.
