Who is Satan?
It's not just about thinking Jesus could have been real and then if he shows up you'll follow suit. I mean would it really be that easy? Sure he is coming back but there is someone else coming for you first. Physical examples of this have happened throughout the past enabling the people of your heritage to face similar challenges, and so examples could be recorded for our edification today. Our heritage is eternal. We will all live together in heaven. We live at different times here as we each pass through a limited lifespan one at a time (with overlapping of the generations). By coming spread over time we can be unconditionally self-accountable yet influenced by loved ones. The soul is eternal. When in heaven it is housed in a spiritual body. Not a floatation device or some transparent thing… but a solid mass that is simply not subject to decay and disease that results from being flesh. We leverage a temporary flesh body because if we came in our spiritual bodies we wouldn't age or die (so to speak). We couldn't even be born because as a living soul in our spiritual body we would all already be adults. I could go on for pages about the importance of family values based on this concept alone. Just think how different it would be if we were here in our spiritual bodies? Our entire pursuit of humanity would be on such a different level because with all of us here at the same time (just as most people recognize we will all be together later in heaven) we would be arguing about "who" God was not "if" God was. The fact is the first is the correct argument to have and the second the result of explaining reality to a lost soul.
Our histories give our generations a personal experience of why we need God. On today's global scale we have demonstrated what happens when everyone makes their own rules while playing on the same field. We have different continents, nations, races and religions and they do not provide a possibility of coexistence for all. In an isolated existence they each work within themselves (albeit some at the expense of its own peoples), but once on a global scale the friction of differences become overwhelming. And here we are. That doesn't imply everyone needs to be the same. That's as bland as the word can define. Variety in race and culture and family are desirable and ever present in the eternity. People of any background can blend together under one umbrella if they could see the big picture. People of every background will be in heaven and that can only happen if they got in credibly. Every group we stereotype will have eternal representation as evidenced that God made each of us in our own image. That should tell you a black person will be black in heaven and an Asian will be Asian… There is not one living soul that has ever been born that was a throw away in God's eyes.
One of the greatest gifts to humanity is culture and we have turned it into a cancerous thing under the guidance of man's perspectives.
Our participation may be short on an individual basis but the collective of our family tree still represents a larger position. We don't need to live and prove it forever, just long enough to let our Father see what He needs to about each of us. Those that are taken before they are born are most likely those that were too good to have to experience this test. They fulfilled the requirement by entering the womb, and they were taken back before being subject to what we have done with the gift of life. Everyone that takes on the flesh returns back to heaven when they die regardless of how long or short, good or bad that they lived. When you die your soul to will return instantly to the place you and your heritage were before you came here, which is with the Father as documented in these two verses from the book of Ecclesiastes:
Ecclesiastes 12: 6
Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
That means when you die.
Ecclesiastes 12: 7
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Once we die we instantly return to God. It doesn't say anything about hanging around in a hole in the ground for some period. It doesn't say you go into limbo, to some distant place, or whatever? It says we die and return. Re-turn. You can't return to someplace you haven't been any more than we can replenish the earth if we haven't been here before. That is was we were instructed to do back in Genesis:
Genesis 1: 28
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
We replenish the earth by being born into an innocent state without the full knowledge our soul had prior to entering the womb. It's a "re"plennish because we were in heaven with God before coming here to be born just like He was in heaven before He came here. With the heritages in heaven being spread out over time it lets God evaluate the collective based upon individual positions. Still you can't blame a relative that passed many years ago even though in many cases what they did many years ago probably has current family members in their collective belief. That distant connection serves to let God test how we as individuals would follow a position within heritage. This is a heavy test for those that are several generations deep into some of these modern doctrines that work against what is written. Even though they seem so glorious and righteous on the outside. That's just how it should be because this is the very leverage Satan used when he challenged for the throne. In a nutshell that is what this is all about. Who is going to sit on the throne?
This is a fight from within. The "good and evil" thing wasn't black and white from inception like some Yin Yang fool wants you to believe. Balance is how we maintain dignity and wrestle with maturity in our current condition. It does not condone eternal existence. Evil is a cancerous darkness that spread from within and tried to take over the light. If Satan were obviously evil from the very beginning do you think he would ever get close enough to challenge God for a Holy position? The threat Satan brought is the scariest of all in that the challenge for the throne came from a very trusted and respected soul at the time. Maybe the epidemic of divorce in our culture today is God's way of giving us a little taste of how it feels to be him as we get our hearts broken by those we love. Satan wasn't bad from the start any more than marriages intend to break hearts. He became evil from within his own mind. He leveraged the gifts and position he had to benefit himself at the expense of others. Nonetheless Satan was created by the same Father that created every person that ever lived… and all were created with hope that they would see the eternity. Our Father is not the author of evil and by Him none were created evil. We were given the gift of choice and unfortunately some souls choose to pursue evil. When Satan was created he was given the best of the best. He walked with God and was promoted all the way up to a Cherub (a body guard to the throne). The book of Ezekiel in the Old Testament gives us the documentation to Satan's scenario:
Ezekiel 28: 12
"Son of man, take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says:
" 'You were the model of perfection,
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
Tyre means rock. The king with a small k tells us it's a false king and combined with Tyre it is symbolic for the false King or false Rock. Who is our Rock? Christ. What position does Satan seek? Christ's. He more that wanted it, he fully believed it because after all he was created the model of perfection. Imagine today's Hollywood vanity combined with the Pope's religious authority (to those that follow).
Ezekiel 28: 13
You were in Eden,
the garden of God;
every precious stone adorned you:
ruby, topaz and emerald,
chrysolite, onyx and jasper,
sapphire, turquoise and beryl.
Your settings and mountings were made of gold;
on the day you were created they were prepared.
This is talking about the first earth age because it addresses when Satan was created. All souls were all created in the first earth age. We also know it's the first earth age because at this time Satan was wearing a priests breastplate. That's hidden in the stones that adorned him. Ruby is the tribe of Zebulon. Topaz is the tribe of Issachar. Emerald is the tribe of Reuben. Onyx is the tribe of Asher. Jasper is the tribe of Naphtali. Sapphire is the tribe of Simeon. Beryl is the tribe of Dan. He had risen to a position within the church were he had access to the garden of Eden, which is basically God's garden. Since the geographical location of Eden is the same now as is was during the first earth age and because geographies don't change it should be no big stretch to see why the middle east drama is just as it is today as they fight over what was then.
Ezekiel 28: 14
You were anointed as a guardian cherub,
for so I ordained you.
You were on the holy mount of God;
you walked among the fiery stones.
He was so trustable that he became a guardian to the throne and he walked with God in the most private and Holy of settings. This clearly describes a first earth age condition in that in that God's holy mount and fiery stones are present.
Ezekiel 28: 15
You were blameless in your ways
from the day you were created
till wickedness was found in you.
He was perfect when he was created. He was not created evil. It came from within him just as the opposite (love) must emanate from within. It started small but just as the cancer it is with time comes consummation.
Ezekiel 28: 16
Through your widespread trade
you were filled with violence,
and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,
and I expelled you, O guardian cherub,
from among the fiery stones.
His corruption overtook him and he was more or less fired. But do you think this stopped Satan? Instead he rallied those who followed him and there are stories throughout the Bible that touch on what he did from the overthrow all the way up to the drama in this present day. The next verse fast forwards to the time when Satan is cast here:
Ezekiel 28: 17
Your heart became proud
on account of your beauty,
and you corrupted your wisdom
because of your splendor.
So I threw you to the earth;
I made a spectacle of you before kings.
When did he throw him to the earth? Not in the garden. Not with Job. Not even when Christ was tempted… In Revelation he is booted to the earth at the 6th seal, 6th trump, and 6th vial. That hasn't happened yet. This homework will show you how close that future is to us today. The price for the path Satan took is revealed in the next verse with the carrying out of God's sentence upon him:
Ezekiel 28: 18
By your many sins and dishonest trade
you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire come out from you,
and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes on the ground
in the sight of all who were watching.
Revelation also describes how Satan will be consumed just as Ezekiel described. That detail puts the timeline for the 18th verse at the end of the Lord's Day. So the documentation of Satan that Ezekiel gave us covered from the first earth age to the end of the second earth age to the end of the Lord's Day. That's a triple testimony of who this character is.
Ezekiel 28: 19
All the nations who knew you
are appalled at you;
you have come to a horrible end
and will be no more.' "
The third and final earth age where we all reside will be free of the cancer Satan cultivates. His downfall was to covet that which he was charged with protecting. In this case it meant he went from protecting the throne to challenging God for His position so that he could be worshiped. It sounds petty but his efforts yielding the deception of 1/3 of our population as he convinced them that his doctrine was the correct doctrine. This is backed up in Revelation:
Revelation 12: 4
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Who's tail pulled 1/3? The dragon is Satan. When we come to earth as a baby the war over our soul doesn't start, it continues. The war between good and evil is not fought in opposing clarity. There isn't an obvious evil team and an obvious good team where everyone is wearing a clearly marked jersey with their name and number on it. We all appear to be on the same team. At least those closest to the heat of the battle are vying to be on the same team (or their perspective of it). At this level we are definitely talking about a threat from someone on the inside. Someone that looks like us. Someone that talks like us. Someone that claims the same heritage. Make no mistake that Satan claims the same pillars. He just made slight adjustments that would lead souls to follow him. Then he pursued it to the point where war would break and 1/3 of the living souls would rise against the very Father that created them. What does that have to do with you? If you are a living soul then it has everything to do with you. Deceived or not at least 1/3 of the stars have their heads on the chopping block and this window of time is how we show him our positions.
He's coming back.
Paul taught in the 11th chapter of II Corinthians how Satan himself is coming disguised as an angel of light. Why would he do that? Throughout the Bible Christ is referred to as the light. Satan's problem before was that we wanted Christ's position so it should be no big stretch to forecast his appearance to strive for just that. An angel of the light must be in contrast to what? Symbolically Christians are children of the day and our opponents are children of the night. The Son is the greater light that rules the day and the moon is the lesser light that rules the night. That is why prophecy in the Bible concerning God's people is given in days and Satanic or negative prophesy is given in months or moons. So if Satan is coming here to present himself as Christ then he would have to appear as an angel of light.
II Corinthians 11:14
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
The word "transformed" would be better translated as "disguised". Just step back a bit and ask yourself how Satan could become an angel of light, or become a Christian, or specifically into "The Christian"? Something is fuzzy with that concept. Satan couldn't possibly be transformed into Christ. That would mean the whole fight within the Bible was between God and himself. That would mean that Satan would become Christ. What? No way. They are two different souls. Some might say it just means that Satan becomes good. Sorry, he's already sentenced to perish and even holds the title of the Son of Perdition. His followers are sentenced also but they are not named other than as Fallen Angels. Satan is flat out named by the listing of all his titles in Revelation. We'll get there, but for now the point is these are not viable explanations. Let's back up a bit and explore the word transformed. The Greek word for transformed is metaschematizo. It means to transfigure or disguise, to transfer or transform (self). Bingo! This is gold here people. I didn't change the Word when I suggested "disguise" as a better translation. Its correct, provides clarity, and is within the confines suggested by the original translators in 1611, so let it rest. Haven't I mentioned regularly how Satan shall pretend to be Christ in Jerusalem (he may tour the world but his base is there)? To pretend to be Christ Satan is disguising him self as in the original word measchematizo. This is what you want to remember as biblical:
II Corinthians 11:14
And no marvel; for Satan himself is disguised into an angel of light.
Presently he is under guard by Michael in heaven but at the 6th Trump he is booted from heaven to earth for his hour of temptation. It will be a tribulation for those that know the truth as they stand against Satan. Of course it's going to be tough, but isn't that why we are the ones doing it? Let's go. What happens between the 6th and 7th? What is Satan going to be doing here? He is going to execute the first of two tribulations that are written about as he tests the Christian and promises to guide the world to salvation. He is the false Jesus returning to deceive as many as he can. His tribulation is how he uses scripture to convince you that he maps to the return of Christ. Then when the true Christ comes at the 7th trump (with those who lived before) the physical bodies of those alive at the time will be instantly changed back into the spiritual body and we will enter the Lord's Day.
Daniel 9:27
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
That symbolic week is a 7-year period and part of a formula you can use with other scripture to recognize the abomination of desolation. That's why Christ quoted this in Mark 13. Daniel not only covers the abomination but also exposes the two-tribulation reality. In the first tribulation the false Christ confirms the covenant. What is the Bible? It is God's covenant with us. Do you understand what the false Christ is claiming by confirming the covenant? The statement won't be intended to be only for a week. The statement will be representing forever. The allotted time in your formula is a week. 7 years divided into two 3 ½ year periods as Daniel prophesied. At the halfway mark he will stop the communion for Christian churches and other sacrifices various religions claim because he is here. Get it? Why pray to a distant God when he is right here? How can I tell you that it is Satan and not God? The description of "for the overspreading of abominations" and the double use of "desolation" emphatically ties it to Satan. Even the Hebrew explicitly states on wings as a "Desolator". That means an entity. Not like the word desolation, which is a condition. The Desolator will be a being and he will be supernatural. Don't be surprised. Don't let him distract you from Christ. We have been warned that he is coming disguised as an angel of light. He is in heaven right now getting his final battle plans together and very shortly will be discharged to earth to carry out his mission.
We have been warned that he is coming disguised as an angel of light. But where has he been lately? He's been in heaven ever since Christ told him to get behind him about 2,000 years ago. But he isn't just sitting around watching us do his bidding. He is in heaven where the war is raging right now and he is getting his final battle plans together because very shortly he will be discharged to earth to carry out his mission.
Revelation 12:7
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Satan is the dragon and his angels are the fallen angels that came during the days of Noah (that's why there was a flood). It clearly states they are in heaven right now. Nobody goes to hell until after the great judgment. You have to face God to be judged and where is He? Actually a better question would be where is heaven? Heaven is where God is. Nobody is in hell right now, not even Satan. That's right, even Satan is in heaven. You just read it yourself. There is no up or down. There is here on earth in the flesh and here in heaven's dimension in the spiritual body. It is a biological fact that your physical body is a blinder to a greater surrounding that exists regardless if you can see it or not. It is not out in space somewhere.
They are sent here.
Earth is where the energies of the universe intermingle. In heaven's dimension they are doing the same. Let that settle because the bad guys are coming again.
Revelation 12:8
And prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven.
They were fruitless in their heavenly war because all in Christ have power over Satan. That means here or there, so do not let these clowns get the best of you. Christ gave you the power. Learn it. Use it. You are going to need it. You just read they were no longer in heaven so where do you think they will be going? That's right… the time will come for them to show up here. When they get here those who are in Christ will be as Michael and his angels in that we will be spiritually warring against them and what they stand for. Sadly those not prepared will see this event through rose-colored glasses and that lets them get deceived.
Revelation 12:9
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Doesn't even need explaining does it? He and his angels are coming. They deceive the whole world. Measchematizo manifest.
The main event.
Revelation 12:10
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
This is the trial of time. Christ is our advocate. Satan is our accuser. Satan's peaceful global reconciliation ensures everyone around you will be drunk in celebration. Fully in belief they are accepted for eternity. Do you think you will be able to keep your soul when the world is being harvested around you? Do you think the collective humanity will snap out of their ideological fantasies or be taken hook, line and sinker? It sounds pretty straightforward. You are reading about it now in clear terms. Can't we all just read this and get on the same page? Let's see what Christ said would happen. In verse Mark 13:14 he cited the event when Satan stands in the temple of Jerusalem and claims to be God here as the Second Advent. Then what?
Be a watchman.
Mark 13:15
And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
Who is on the housetop? In Christ's day watchmen were posted on the housetop at night. When Christ comes again and is here with us then we won't need watchmen, right? The fact watchmen are still needed combined with the fact that when Christ does return we are all instantly changed into our spiritual body should indicate to you that this writing is addressing time before Christ's return. The watchmen of today are those Christ refers to with "eyes to see" or "ears to hear". He is talking about those who know the concepts as described so far in this work. If you see and recognize these events when they happen then be as one of His watchman and give your warning and get out. There is no time or need for anything else.
Stay in the field.
Mark 13:16
And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
Who is in the field? Right now all of us are in the field. Later it better be you playing your position the best you ever have. Those thinking they were going to be raptured were taken from the field by Satan earlier in the timeline. So it's the one's who know the truth that stay and do the work. That is how you sew seeds and stand firm against this radical infatuation consuming our peoples. When Satan stands in Jerusalem claiming to be Christ it's over my friend. You don't need your coat. Time has culminated.
Don't plant his seeds.
Mark 13:17
But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
This is symbolic so it has nothing to do with physical childbirth among humans. Get that one out of your head. God is sending a message to His team here regarding the hour of temptation which will be a fantastic time, not a gory time. Many people think so but how unnatural and inconsistent with God's word would that be? Pregnancy is both ongoing throughout the world and the greatest blessing from God. Would there be a "woe" to everyone who was pregnant regardless if they were good or bad? Would there be a "woe" to all the unborn innocent children at the time of Christ's return? No this is much simpler and a lot deeper. Remember our context is the time between Satan with his fallen coming here and the return of Christ. The hour of temptation is the time Satan makes his bid to the people of the world for the office of God. His method is deceit and religious doctrine. For a person to follow Satan's doctrine is for them to absorb and accept his concepts, teachings etc. It doesn't happen instantly, it takes time. You have to nurture it along. The people who let his seed incubate in their head become impregnated with his doctrine. Having his doctrine and spreading his word to those around you IS the mark of the beast. Giving suck describes nurturing along the content. You don't give a baby steak because they are not prepared to chew meat. You feed with milk until their system develops. That is his tactic and the woe is to those who went along with him. Imagine how they will feel when Christ does return and they recognize what they did… there is your woe. Christ returns from being a way 2,000 years to find his "bride" with another person's baby. This symbolism is to communicate how he will feel when he comes back to us only to find everyone in someone else's church. Do you follow me? Even worse that someone else is claiming to be him and the people believe it? Why didn't people know the difference? Why did Paul say he wanted to present us as a chaste virgin? How many will be impregnated spiritually with the doctrine of the false Christ?
Stay in season.
Mark 13:18
And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
The end of the world is the harvesting of souls. When is harvest? Harvests take place in the summer or early fall. The winter is out of season. That doesn't necessarily mean it will be a physical summer in your backyard because there are opposing seasons on earth. Don't get tricked that the timeframe means the seasons of the northern hemisphere or anything like that. The point is being here is that you need to make sure "you" are not out of season. Rapture seekers jump too early (follow the false Christ) and God haters jump too late (think nothing like this could be real). You are charges with being familiar enough with the Word to recognize the time.
Connect the dots.
Mark 13:19
For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
"Those days" means the days that Satan is here making his play. Some doctrines take the word affliction to suggest Satan will be here to distress the church with mental and/or bodily pain, and therefore will be super easy to spot. An interesting note about the word translated to "affliction." In the Greek the definition also means tribulation. When correctly discerned the statement is during the days Satan is here there will be a tribulation unlike anything since the creation. If it was since the creation then something happened back then as a benchmark. If I say this is the best steak I had since last summer that means it last summer I had a relative equivalent. So we have a hint to research. When was the creation? For us that would be Genesis. In particular I would like to cite Noah's flood. Christ was emphasizing an affliction such as the days of Noah. It is described without a doubt in the book of Jude that there were fallen angels were here giving and taking in marriage with those of Noah's time. God's flood is how he corralled and got them back into their heavenly estate (dimension). He drowned the people and "recalled" the fallen. This time they come back with Satan and initiate the 1st tribulation. It will be the Bible that he uses as his documentation. Those who are biblically familiar according to their doctrines yet illiterate to these concepts are the most gullible. They will spread his doctrine with beguiled zeal. He is supernatural. He as the ability to defy the natural laws we are all subject to in this second earth age. You can't get much more convincing than that when what you see for yourself tells you that it is real. Add to that the peer pressure of global acceptance as everyone is participating and top it off a little with the knowledge it will be conducted by a soul that won't be limited to the 10% brain functionality we have… Again I ask you, are you ready?
Avoid deception.
Mark 13:20
And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom He hath chosen, He hath shortened the days.
The Lord shorted the days because when Satan appears and does his magic he is convincing beyond a reasonable doubt. He will captivate all and all will see him in his debut. We're talking about everyday people just like you and me. Many love the very same God I do, Adam did, and that was Christ. But they too will be tricked. Why should He protect any person that denies God exists to the point they would hate you if they knew you believed? I'm talking about the people in a Christian church and those in the opponent's church. They have people who will fight, kill, and cut off your head because they think a different god will deliver them. Satan will round all these types up equally. It is no big drama. They are fish on his lure. They have been for centuries. This unification under a religious umbrella maps to many other religious traditions and feudal foundations should be viewed as anything less than God like even if it appears like it. God says right there in the 20th verse that we are not going to make it unless he shortened the days.
Stand as an elect.
He did it for all but He cited the elect because they know the difference between a lure and the real thing. The elect are not any special class or level in some religious hierarchy. This is about people here on earth in everyday scenarios sprinkled throughout society that will make a stand when the time is right. It will seem like they came out of nowhere and are everywhere, but they have always been there they just haven't woken up yet. As you become familiar with the whole Word maybe you will see how this is the process by which He communicates. His Word reveals the truths to you if it is for you to see regardless of your perceived lot in life. You might even be a ringer (if you know what I mean). Everyone reading this is already halfway there because if you can follow these concepts so far then you are as much a candidate for being within the elect as anyone else who is alive today. There have been surprising biblical hero's throughout the existence of humanity from the very first soul thousands of years before Adam, to Adam who was the first with knowledge of the word (direct communication with God and truth, etc.), even up to some of those with us in this day who haven't woken up yet. The election is between you and Him. Even if not one on the field today you should still recognize and represent for your team no matter where you are. I live in California but I will always have Denver colors.
Who are the elect?
Satan's colors go all the way back to the first earth age when we were all here together and Satan lead his overthrow and secured 1/3 the total group at that stage. That's roughly 4 billion souls that followed him. When they rose up whom did they rise and fight against? Obviously there was an opposing force that stood against them. Let me rephrase that… Obviously there was an opposing force that stood for God. Satan's did not go unopposed and he did not succeed. You will find it in your Bible that at that time God justified those who stood correct. It is these souls during this second earth age that God uses to ensure all that is written come to pass as it was written.
Not all have freewill.
If God is fair He couldn't make someone behave a certain way and then hold them accountable, right? Follow me for a minute. If God interfered with a player on the field and that player failed to make the cut they would be able cite God's interference, etc. So what about the fact it was recorded about Christ's crucifixion a thousand years before it happened with details that go all the way down to the words that would be said by those there and the exact actions they would take. Those who partook were on both sides just like most epic stories in the Word. These are real beings that represent both sides to the core, not a bunch of Bible scholars acting out plays! Do you have any idea how many random things throughout an un-designed global existence would have to take place for that to "just happen"? There are people God uses to ensure the things that were written for us would stand the tests of time. He uses those without freewill on both sides to ensure those with freewill are given the appropriate conditions for their test. How about the actions of Judas? He was a disciple for a lot longer than the short time that was required to fulfill scripture with his kiss. Do you think a solid disciple who was the treasure for Christ was motivated by 30 pieces of silver? Or did divine intervention take place at that supper so that the Word could be fulfilled? Let me give another controversial example. Pharaoh. Is it not written that God hardened his heart against Moses as part of a greater plan to prepare him for his position when it was time? If either Judas or Pharaoh appears to be candidates for the harshest of judgments then you are viewing them out of context. Don't miss the people God uses throughout time to see his plan through. There are also those who didn't seem to be on the same team but played a key role.
But most do.
This second earth age is humanities time of freewill for the majority. It is one of our Father's most precious gifts and often the most abused. Freewill back in the first earth age is what lead to us needing to go through the second earth age. Now that very same freewill is why I can say it is by our choices we are later to be rewarded or whatever is justified. Even if God put people in a slumber to ensure the scripture as recorded would be able to be fulfilled accordingly people still demonstrate enough freewill on a day to day basis for our Father to be fair in judgment. Where you are when you wake up is no big deal. Especially if it was part of His plan to have you there. We only use 10% of our brains and these truths we feel so on top of are just scratching the surface of the real bulk hidden within the other 90%. So nobody here has the ability to do anything else other than strive to choose right and help others do the same. Today that means coming out of confusion and being prepared to articulate your position. If this story is making sense and you have understanding of the concepts in this work then you might as well consider yourself on the team (if you chose the good side). How many people actually take the field will be determined when we are delivered up to testify. Will you be ready? Maybe you will be in the stands, watch on TV, or just read about it online, it doesn't matter if you know what's up. What matters is what you do with what you know. What are you going to do when you see Satan taking the people on a ride of death with expert showmanship just as it is written? How did they know? Come on…
Others will be deceived.
Revelation 13:13
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
That means that he will be able to make lightning come down and strike. It is my supposition that we most likely won't see that move until he kills the two witnesses that stand against him. But don't be surprised if he does it every time he enters a room. Pride will do that. Using supernatural capabilities to amuse a human being from our time is undisputable. Adam and Eve weren't as gullible as you think.
Stand fast 5 months.
Revelation 9:5
And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
The torment is for the people who know the truth. I mean it's going to hurt to watch these characters have their way. I will be their enemy because they know I see them and know them. And I will be their enemy because they are my enemy. They are not allowed to kill or even touch His election but they do sting as a scorpion with their lies and deceit, or with their strategies to discredit the ones that testify against them. To everyone else they will seem like the greatest thing going. They think Satan is Christ and he indeed captures the attention of the world to such a depth that God had to shorten the timeframe to a five month period. That is why Christ said he would shorten the days. You just read it in Mark. And here Revelation 9 lets us know it's a 5-month period (the 70th week of Daniel is a five month period). When the fallen angels that come back with Satan they will have five months to get as many believers as they can. Wow. Are we ready?
Don't follow the crowd.
Mark 13:21
And then if any man shall say to you, "Lo, here is Christ;" or, "lo, He is there;" believe him not:
What did Christ just say about this? When people start telling you he is here it is not true. It is that simple. Someday he will be here and you need to know how to recognize the difference between his return and the time this verse refers. There are two main reasons or evidences you can count on:
- The first is that Christ does not return until the after the desolation, which happens at the end of Satan's mini-reign. If you haven't seen Satan then you know Christ has not come yet.
- Second, when Christ does return we are all instantly changed back into our spiritual bodies. That means that if you are still in the flesh (as you are now) then Christ is not back yet.
These two reasons are super-obvious. So why would Christ need to give such a warning? Unless there would be many people running around claiming that Christ returned? Bingo! That is exactly what will be happening.
It's going to happen.
Mark 13:22
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
False Christ's shall rise. Shall is a legally binding term. For example if I said I will do something it means that I intend to do it. It is my will to do it. But if I say I shall do something then I am bound to that obligation. You just read a line of documentation within God's contract with us that guarantees a group of fakes are going to make their play. That they will bring church to a level that makes even the elect double check their homework. But this verse also includes a phrase that indicates that it is not possible to deceive the elect. You can't unlearn a truth and the election won't be deceived. There have been a few wacko's who have claimed to be Christ, but none have risen beyond their own compound. And there have been men past and present that have represented Satan's side to a great depth. Soon there will be a superstar of this genre on the scene and you best recall all of Mark 13, Matthew 24, and Luke 21, to snap out of the funk that is pulling all those around you. Not all of the false prophets are coming with Satan at that time. Many have come and gone and many are here now. Some know exactly what they are doing and others have no clue they are tinkering with Satan himself. This statement is inclusive of today's so-called men of the cloth. They will support and be given credentials from the false Christ. You will see Satan's organization, his hierarchy, and his people.
We were warned.
Mark 13:23
But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
Pay very close attention to that statement because it is telling you that you have enough information to accurately and rightly divide the scriptures with our reality. The instead of Jesus was promised to come. Verse 14 said where he would be. Don't follow him! What about those that do? That is totally between them and God. Each has a reason. That is why we have the millennium (the Lord's Day, 1,000 years here together in a disciplined reconciliation). There are billions who are haters and will never make it. But there are also billions who followed in ignorance or intense circumstance. These and the deceived are hardly held accountable for the total depth of the sin in that reconciliation with man often requires catching them red handed. Additionally it is God who fashioned the mixture that generates the 10% of our brain that we use, and it is written that God put a slumber upon the people so these truths simply won't click. Many will think with all their heart they are doing the right thing.
