BIBLICAL DOCTRINES OF LUCIFER/SATAN PART 2.
Originally, I intended this to be a two-part study, however, I've decided to extend the study to include part 3, which will be posted next week. Enjoy.

Thank you for the study. We all agree and there is no doubt that Satan is a powerful angel endowed by God with unsurpassed worldly abilities and intelligence/knowledge of God. He certainly is the anointed . . Cherubim, a particular type of protecting angel. But Satan's authority over, for example, Seraphim (Isaiah 6:2) or the angels attending God's throne (Rev 7:11-12) is not established by scripture. Satan was perfect in all of his ways in the same way that all angels are, otherwise they could not be in God's presence. He was anointed and given a commission by God among the Cherubim, but that is all the scripture says, and he clearly did not fulfill his duty to God, i.e. rejected his annointing. The hierarchy of angelic orders is a favorite teaching of Rome because it supports their system of (fallen) angel worship. But God's angels don't accept worship (Rev 22:8-9) and no where is an angelic hierarchy mentioned in the Bible. What is clearly established by scripture is that Satan lost his battle for supremacy in Heaven and was cast out with the third of the angels that followed him. So, most of the angels, including Michael, chose NOT to follow him regardless of any rank or annointing. Our Lord describes Satan as the prince of THIS world (John 14:30). As such, we, in our flesh in this world, have no chance to defeat him. But when we accept Jesus Christ as our savior we enter God's kingdom which is not of this world (John 18:36). As such, Satan has no spiritual power or authority over us. He is the father of lies and a murderer from the beginning, and maintains no position in Jesus' Kingdom. He has already lost and has no chance to defeat believers provided we endure in the faith until the end. Allelujah! "Submit your selues therefore to God: resist the deuill, and hee will flee from you." James 4:7
i feel like everyone cuts off James 4:7 both before and after, a lot, and that's how we end up with people waving wands and MagicSpellPrayers around, along with the babbling, and the conducting, and the incense. i also see that there are many edits to these verses in particular, comparing 1611 to 1769, so this section seems important (even, for people to corrupt it)
today i was reading about goats (im a sheep farmer), and it turns out, that you cant put goats and sheep commonly together, or they will both make eachother starve in the fields, and the whole place barren after a time (bad for pasture), and also goats are weak to the worms of sheep, and the other way around too - and i thought of the bible and the separation of the goats from the sheep
just an example..of repeats 1 Kings 4:20 Iudah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merrie. Luke 17:27 They did eate, they dranke, they married wiues, they were giuen in mariage, vntill the day that Noe entred into the arke: and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Job 1:4 4 And his sonnes went and feasted in their houses, euery one his day, and sent and called for their three sisters, to eate and to drinke with them.5 And it was so, when the dayes of their feasting were gone about, that Iob sent and sanctified them, and rose vp early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: For Iob said, It may be that my sonnes haue sinned, and cursed God in their hearts: Thus did Iob continually.
eyes Proverbs 30:17; Revelation 4:8, Psalms 32:8, Proverbs 23:6, Matthew 6:23, Mark 9:47 and if anyone remember that movie from the 60s, called The Birds. they ate out the people's eyes, and were after the children. https://youtu.be/0fJh2gIBOto
im waiting for part 4 :) tho every post here is a blessing to listen to
Speaking of abominable fowls and their place throughout history, Babylon, Rome, Nazi Germany, and the USA for example, is there any level of validity in the belief that some historicist interpreters hold to, that the second beast of Revelation 13, from the earth, is representative of the USA since it clearly has Roman/Jesuit/Masonic influence in government, media, and the institutional religious system with their corrupted scriptures and doctrines?
AMEN! Such an important lesson that EVERY church everywhere needs!
