Why is it such a simple book? What does it want us to do? Be a great witness. Two points. Really simple. Complex events. We need to know really simple things.
Not from an eternal perspective. Everything that happens in here, every one of the seven seals, authorized. Every one of the seven trumpets, authorized. The bowl judgments, the plagues, pull it out. The way to overcome Satan and his accusations: be a faithful witness unto death.
Eros , agape, or phileo? Which would you guess? We make a mistake with agape. We usually say agape is perfect love. It is used that way often.
But agape means choice-love. Agape is used of the Pharisees. They loved the seats of honor. Do not love the things of this world for the lust of the flesh and the boastful pride of life, etc. So, if we choose to save our life, our psyche— our life, our soul. Psyche is translated soul about half the time and life about half the time, depending on which way the translators are trying to push the theology.
It would be a lot simpler. And guess what this word is: And they overcame him. They defeated him. They prevailed over him. They conquered over him. What word? Every promise in the letters to the seven churches—what was and is—at the end, what did it say every time? To him who conquers, prevails, wins. How do you win? Now is this just physical death? There are lots of different kinds of death, right? Rejection is probably the most common.
The first death that Adam and Eve experienced was exile. The world always threatens exile. My martyreo. Now this is interesting. Rejoice O heavens.
Who else? His angels. Remember Job? Where are they? So, rejoice O heaven. Finally these guys are cleared out! Your nasty neighbor that is always having parties late at night and keeping you up has moved out. Therefore rejoice. Now this one puzzles me. How many people do you know who live in the sea? For the devil— the adversary, the accuser— has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.
War breaks out in heaven. Satan loses that war. First hand. Now when does this happen? But my guess is in the middle of the 70th week. And part of the reason why this last three and a half years, this last 42 months, this last days is so dire, is because Satan is actually on earth with his angels wreaking havoc.
Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. And he does rule hell where people do go to live in eternal pain if they do not accept Jesus.
God has shown this in a vision so people may know. Bill Billings. The last thing Satan and the fallen angels would want is to take residency in Hell. They all get put in Hell to burn at the end of the Bible. If Satan ruled it then it would be eternal house arrest instead of eternal torture.
Some have similarities, some contradict one another. Chris ish. If God Himself, cast Satan out and his rebellious companions. Envy, jealousy, hatred, etc But remember it has already received the ultimate sentence, which is damnation, eternal damnation, yet to be enforced. But you can't agree with satan's falling, yet disagree he is the origin of sin.
Sin is disobeying god's words. And the 1st to do so was Satan! Now for sure the Vatican, to back up the insertion of Rome's tradition has kept part of the bible out of reach.
If you read the bible, to prove a point God only decides to reveal himself to you by granting you wisdom and understanding of his words. And he does it surely when He is pleased by and in you. How could satan have ever been in heaven if you have to be pure and perfect to enter?
Wait, you mean the Christian mythology is full of holes, idiosyncrasies, and contradictions? Sandra jordan. Satan, and the angels that he took with him when he was dispelled from heaven, were originally created in heaven, by God.
So, the illustrations of females in long white robes are not accurate. We like to embellish, dont we? How can perfect celestial beings betray God? Do they supposedly have feelings and emotions like us, mortals? God knows the past, present and future. Why then created the fallen angels if he knew how the story would end? I hate satan i don,t even hear about him. Hail Odin! Click here to view the book. Enjoy five blissful minutes of mindfulness and art with this guided meditation.
