JERUSALEM: CITY OF SOUL - SHORT AND BEAUTIFUL VIDEO
Beautiful...
Shabbot Shalom!
Pray for Israel...and the World!
satan, SUMMARY (I just cannot "respect" him enough to capitalize his name even though this causes my titles to not conform)
Satan, Summary:
This fearful being, apparently created one of the cherubim
Ezekiel 1:5
5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
Ezekiel 28:12
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
And anointed for a position of great authority, perhaps over the primitive creation.
Genesis 1:2 (Earth was not created 5000 or so years ago as some contend. It's creation was countless ages ago)
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. (God has been forever and earth's origin as far back as one can imagine!)
Ezekiel 28:11-15
11 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
FELL THROUGH PRIDE: "I WILL" TO THIS DAY MARKS ALL SINNERS TESTIMONY, NOT TO GOD BUT SELF (Unknowing sin trait of Satan and identification of his influence!)
Isaiah 14:12-14
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
His "I WILL" marks the introduction of SIN into the universe!
His rebellion caused GOD to cast him out of Heaven to the earth
Luke 10:18 (Jesus testifies)
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Earth and air are the scene of his tireless activity
Ephesians 2:2
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
1 Peter 5:8
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
After the creation of man he entered into the serpent.
Genesis 3:1
Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
The serpent, in his Edenic form, is not to be thought of as a writhing reptile. That is the effect of the curse Genesis 3:14 . The creature which lent itself to Satan may well have been the most beautiful as was the most "subtle" of creatures less than man. Traces of that beauty remain despite the curse. Every movement of a serpent is graceful, and many species are beautifully colored. In the serpent, Satan first appeared as "an angel of light"
2 Corinthians 11:14
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
The Adamic Covenant promised the ultimate destruction of Satan through the "Seed of the woman".
3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
The chain of references which begins here includes the promises and prophecies concerning Christ which were fulfilled in His birth and works at His first advent. The pinnacle of our Lord and Saviors work was on the cross and later resurrection from the dead. On the cross He defeated Satan and his power over death was finished when Christ rose the 3 rd day.
"For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil." 1 John 3:8
The cross is the place where Christ redeemed men from the power of Satan. Satan held men captive because of sin; but on the cross the Lord Jesus paid for our sins. He ended all of Satan's rights over us. Men can now choose who they will serve. Those who choose Jesus Christ as their Lord are delivered from the power of Satan. The Bible says,
"Giving thanks unto the Father…who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and brought us into the kingdom of His dear Son." Colossians 1:12-13
The Bible says that the Lord Jesus took our nature upon Him that…
"through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil."
When the Lord Jesus died on the cross, it seemed as though the powers of darkness were victorious over Him. But on the third day He arose from the grave with a mighty triumph over Satan and the powers of darkness.
Hebrews 2:14-15
Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.
The Lord Jesus appeared on the earth for a period of 40 days after His resurrection. Before He ascended back into Heaven, He said,
"ALL POWER is given unto Me in Heaven and in earth." Matthew 28:18
The powers of darkness were defeated!
The Lord Jesus ascended back into Heaven as Victor over all the powers of darkness. Satan and his evil spirits were stripped of all their authority. He made a show of them openly. The Bible says,
"And having spoiled (defeated) principalities and powers, He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them…" Colossians 2:15
Christ was Exalted
The Father welcomed His beloved Son home to glory and gave Him the place of greatest honor and power. Jesus Christ was seated on the very throne of Heaven—far above all the powers of darkness. The Bible says,
"…He (God) raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion." Ephesians 1:20-21
Christ's Victory is our Victory
WE BELIEVE THE GOSPEL OF GOD'S GRACE
Now here is an amazing truth: CHRIST'S VICTORY OVER THE POWERS OF DARKNESS IS OUR VICTORY! What Christ did, He did as our Representative. We shared in His death, we shared in His burial, we shared in His resurrection, and we share also in His victory over Satan! God raised Christ up and seated Him at His own right hand, and He raised us up with Him. The Bible says,
"(God) has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:6
We who are in Christ are seated with Him in that position of power and victory "far above all."
"Behold, I give you authority…over all the power of the enemy…" Luke 10:19
The Christian life is a life of WARFARE. We are called to be good soldiers of the Lord Jesus Christ and "to war a good warfare."
The reason why the Christian life is a warfare is that we have a terrible enemy who seeks to destroy us. That enemy is Satan. The Bible warns us,
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8
Satan is called "the prince of the power of the air" because he and his fallen angels now inhabit the atmosphere above the earth. Though we cannot see them, Satan and his fallen angels are the real enemies of the child of God. The Bible says,
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12
Romans 8:38-39
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Then began his long warfare against the work of God in behalf of humanity, which still continues. The present world-system Revelation 13:8 organized upon the principle of force, greed, selfishness, ambition, and sinful pleasure, is his work and was the bribe which he offered to Christ Matthew 4:8 Matthew 4:9 . Of that world-system he is prince ; John 14:30 ; 16:11 and god 2 Corinthians 4:4 . As "prince of the power of the air" Ephesians 2:2 he is at the head of vast host of demons. To him, under God, was committed upon earth the power of death Hebrews 2:14 . Cast out of heaven as his proper sphere and "first estate," he still has access to God as the "accuser of the brethren" Revelation 12:10 and is permitted a certain power of sifting or testing the self-confident and carnal among believers ; Job 1:6-11 ; Luke 22:31 Luke 22:32 ; 1 Corinthians 5:5 ; 1 Timothy 1:20 but this is strictly permissive and limited power, and believers so sifted are kept in faith through the advocacy of Christ Luke 22:31 Luke 22:32 ; ***1 John 2:1 .
At the beginning of the great tribulation Satan's privilege of access to God as accuser will be withdrawn Revelation 12:7-12 . At the return of Christ in glory Satan will be bound for one thousand years, Revelation 20:2, after which he will be "loosed for a little season" Revelation 20:3 Revelation 20:7 Revelation 20:8 and will become the head of final effort to overthrow the kingdom. Defeated in this, he will be finally cast into the lake of fire, his final doom. The notion that he reigns in hell is Miltonic, not biblical. He is prince of this present world-system, but will be tormented in the lake of fire.
