We just cut it off, 11 00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:07.560 right? Almost in mid-sentence last time together. Part one here today. Part two, glad you're with 12 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:15.480 us right now. And so I left off by encouraging you to look at Isaiah chapter 14 and Ezekiel chapter 28 13 00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:24.120 regarding the origins of Satan and angels and what we're discussing Biblical demonology. I'm 14 00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:29.320 not gonna go back and rehearse all that. However, look what happened. And for those of you who are 15 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:35.720 watching, watching, listening right now, you can't see this. But for those of you watching, 16 00:01:35.720 --> 00:01:41.560 look what I have a copy of. We're able to get, since our last recording of first episode, 17 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:50.200 here's the book Biblical Demonology by Merrill Unger. This is a fantastic resource of understanding 18 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:57.800 the spiritual realm. In fact, the subtitle is a study of spiritual forces at work today. Dr. 19 00:01:57.800 --> 00:02:04.280 Merrill Unger, Biblical Demonology, great, great book. And you can get it at Target. You can get 20 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:11.400 it on Amazon. I remember when I was a younger believer, it was out of print for many years. So 21 00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:17.960 that's awesome. That's great. Let's dive into where we left off. Just go headfirst into this. 22 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:26.200 So Lucifer, the angelic world being created, they were created as servant, listen, as servant 23 00:02:28.040 --> 00:02:33.560 leaders, what do you mean leaders, servants, there were servants of the most high god. They were 24 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:42.280 ministering spirits, all angels. But we know that there is at least one aspect of leadership 25 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:48.040 attributes given to this one called Lucifer. We talked about him last time, other AKA Satan. 26 00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:56.840 After the fall in the garden, scratch that. After the fall of Lucifer at some point in 27 00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:06.760 eternity, prior to creation, he was then, he was named Satan or the destroyer, Diablos, the 28 00:03:06.760 --> 00:03:16.520 destroyer. And so when I say servant leader, all angels were created to serve the Lord. The Bible 29 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:23.560 makes that very clear. But Satan, Lucifer had a special spot. And you'll read about it in Isaiah 14 30 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:35.560 in Ezekiel 28 because he was tapped with being the leader of music in the angelic world. 31 00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:42.760 He was the one. In fact, if you read those two chapters, it tells you that when he moves, 32 00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:49.000 music comes out of them. Sounds. It says that when he moves, when he brings his hands together, 33 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:55.880 they are as timbrals or as tambourines. The Bible says, the Bible says, you'll read it again, 34 00:03:55.880 --> 00:04:04.040 Isaiah 14, Ezekiel 28, that there seems to be some sort of musical apparatus about his very torso. 35 00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:12.040 It says that there is pipes. I know this sounds crazy. Read your Bible. Just read your Bible. That he 36 00:04:12.040 --> 00:04:19.320 is the leader of worship. He was the worship leader in all of God's heaven. That was his job. 37 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:31.080 But he fell from that. And this, again, predates creation itself. It predates Eden. Satan was already 38 00:04:31.080 --> 00:04:40.440 Satan before Adam and Eve were in the garden. But listen, I want to also introduce this to you 39 00:04:40.440 --> 00:04:44.360 that it's uniquely my view. I'm not saying I'm right or wrong, but I believe I'm right. 40 00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:53.240 It doesn't matter, though. I believe that angels are what they are. They're angels. 41 00:04:54.280 --> 00:05:00.600 And a study for some other day, a podcast for some other time, is due to Genesis chapter 6, 42 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:09.080 I believe that demons are the spirits of those who drowned in the great flood, 43 00:05:09.960 --> 00:05:20.920 who were known as Rafaim or Nephilim or Anachim from the Bible. That's just my view. You can 44 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:30.840 read Genesis 6. And I think that when those hybrids, those things, those ones that came out of 45 00:05:32.280 --> 00:05:42.040 the unification, Jude says of strange flesh, that when those things of strange flesh 46 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:50.360 perished in the flood, that they were not angels nor were they humans, they were something else. 47 00:05:51.320 --> 00:05:58.120 And I believe that is the origin of demons and fallen angels or still holy angels, that's 48 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:05.720 something completely different. A topic for some other day. That's the origins just touching on 49 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:12.440 that. Look at our first episode. What about present at present today in our 21st century? 50 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:19.080 It's like what somebody said to see us Lewis and mere Christianity. When see us Lewis mentioned 51 00:06:19.080 --> 00:06:27.080 that the devil is certainly active in some lives more than others, he said that after he made 52 00:06:27.080 --> 00:06:32.120 that broadcast, somebody contacted him and said, you're not going to, you know, it suggests that 53 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:41.080 the devil is real, do you? And see us Lewis said, absolutely, because Jesus said he was real. 54 00:06:41.880 --> 00:06:49.000 So yeah, he's real. He's real, all right. At this present age, this present time in the 21st century, 55 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:56.200 what do we know? We know that he's loose. We know that Satan is loose to be about this world. 56 00:06:56.840 --> 00:07:06.600 And he has his demon powers working for him, his legions. We also know that he has one third of 57 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:14.440 the heavenly hosts of angelic creatures that he deceived working for him. And if you say, 58 00:07:14.440 --> 00:07:19.960 I don't believe that, that's okay. Read the book of Revelation. There are both demons and angels 59 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:28.920 that are held captive underneath. This is creepy. Underneath, not underwater, under the water, 60 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:35.720 under the riverbed of the Euphrates River. That's creepy. Book of Revelation. Check it out. Wow. 61 00:07:36.760 --> 00:07:43.240 That's something for the future. So he's loose. There's no doubt about it, but he's limited. 62 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:49.240 He's limited in power. He's limited in what he knows. He's limited in where he can be. 63 00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:56.200 He's not omnipresent. He's not omniscient. He's not omnipotent. He is not omnipotent. 64 00:07:57.960 --> 00:08:02.920 So stop giving him so much credit. That's very, very important to understand that. He is limited. 65 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:09.640 We also know that he's very angry for good reason. He's angry because for a lot of things, 66 00:08:09.640 --> 00:08:13.720 but he's certainly angry because he thought he had defeated Jesus Christ at the cross. 67 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:21.480 No doubt about that. Satan had entered possessed, by the way, this is very rare in scripture. 68 00:08:22.280 --> 00:08:30.280 We know for a fact that Satan entered into Judas Iscariot. As far as we know, I could be missing 69 00:08:30.280 --> 00:08:36.360 something, but I don't think so. The only other account where Satan literally possesses a human 70 00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:42.200 that we know of will be the coming antichrist. So Judas Iscariot, the son of perdition, 71 00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:47.720 and the coming antichrist, the son of perdition, both interesting. That title is given to them both. 72 00:08:49.160 --> 00:08:55.080 But there's no doubt about it that Satan's very angry. Why? Because on the third day, 73 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:59.480 Christ rose again from the grave. The Bible tells us that when that happened, Satan was defeated. 74 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:04.680 He still has his kingdom. He still has great power, and he's still loose. 75 00:09:06.280 --> 00:09:11.960 But because Christ rose from the dead, anyone who puts their faith in Jesus Christ is now free 76 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:17.880 from the tyranny of Satan. So you see, he's defeated in the lives of the believers. 77 00:09:19.800 --> 00:09:24.760 We also know that he's so proficient at lying. Jesus said he's the father of all lies. 78 00:09:25.560 --> 00:09:32.280 Imagine that when somebody tells a lie, there's a lot of spiritual drama invisible that's going on. 79 00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:40.040 And God hates a liar. God hates lies. The Bible says in the Ten Commandments, they'll 80 00:09:40.040 --> 00:09:49.720 shout not lie, and yet Satan is the very origin of lies. I don't mean to be funny when I say this. 81 00:09:50.040 --> 00:09:53.960 In fact, I mean to be very, very serious about this. He's the ultimate influencer. 82 00:09:55.160 --> 00:10:00.680 Look at the scripture and see what Satan does in people's lives. He is the consummate influencer. 83 00:10:01.640 --> 00:10:09.560 We would say the Tempter. Satan will tempt you. You see, well, can Satan read my mind? I do not 84 00:10:09.560 --> 00:10:16.600 believe that's possible. You see, well, it seems like he can. How about this? He's been around 85 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:22.200 a long time. He's been around humans a long time. He doesn't have to sleep. He studies, 86 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.120 look, when we go to sleep, he probably goes to some other part of the world and he studies 87 00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:33.560 humans to see their tendencies and their patterns and their, you know, look, we're not too, 88 00:10:33.560 --> 00:10:40.200 we're not too unpredictable, are we? And so he knows when is the right time? And he knows, for example, 89 00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:46.040 that there's a handsome guy coming down the street or a handsome girl coming down the streets. 90 00:10:46.040 --> 00:10:52.280 And he knows to put it to shoot a shot of temptation at you in anticipation or maybe 91 00:10:53.640 --> 00:10:59.880 there's something that he knows that you're susceptible to. Let's say gambling. I don't remember 92 00:10:59.880 --> 00:11:09.400 where I was at recently. At least and I were with some friends and we, whatever state it was, 93 00:11:09.400 --> 00:11:13.400 they had gambling there. We walked through this play. We walked through, we walked into the 94 00:11:13.400 --> 00:11:17.880 building and it was like, what? And they're had gambling and we were heading over to get 95 00:11:17.880 --> 00:11:23.480 something to eat in this place. The gambling. Look, gambling, I've never been tempted in my life 96 00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:29.720 to gamble. Whatever predisposition is that causes people to be tempted by gambling, I don't have it. 97 00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:36.760 You can, you can give me 5,000 coins and a slot machine. I won't do it. It's just not my thing. 98 00:11:36.760 --> 00:11:40.600 I think it's stupid. I'm not tempted by it. So Satan doesn't tempt me about that. 99 00:11:41.560 --> 00:11:46.520 But he does about other things. Why? Because he knows me by studying me, but he doesn't know me 100 00:11:46.520 --> 00:11:50.200 because he reads my mind. That's not, I don't believe that's publicly possible. I don't think 101 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:55.960 Scripture is clearly. Only God knows your thoughts. Only God can read your mind. Satan can shoot 102 00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:59.560 things into your mind. There's no doubt about that. That's why we're to bring every thought under 103 00:11:59.560 --> 00:12:05.480 the captivity, captivity of Jesus Christ. Look at 2 Corinthians chapter 10. We wore not 104 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:11.080 against flesh and blood. You and I are worn against principalities and powers in rulers of the 105 00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:17.000 dark age, the dark world, sinister foes that are invisible. They're not flesh. 106 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:29.480 They're invisible, demonic and fallen angel, source of evil. We know that regarding his 107 00:12:30.040 --> 00:12:39.560 future that today's evil, Jesus said, as it is today, Jesus said, as we get further down the 108 00:12:39.560 --> 00:12:50.920 prophetic timeline of the last days, evil's going to increase. Read Matthew 24. Read, I believe, 109 00:12:50.920 --> 00:12:59.800 it's Luke 17. Read Mark 13. Evil's going to increase. Why? Because there's going to be more and 110 00:12:59.800 --> 00:13:06.520 more people that are giving their lives over to darkness. Satan will be taking advantage. Jesus 111 00:13:06.520 --> 00:13:12.520 said that just before he returns, it's going to be like it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah. 112 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:21.240 As it was in the days of Noah, when people thought about evil continually, I think we're very close 113 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:32.120 if not there. So, evil's going to be increasing. That's what the future is hosting in this world 114 00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:40.360 and in the world or the time that's coming. We know that the Antichrist, who we label this guy 115 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:46.280 the Antichrist like he's some sort of a buffoon walking around with Satan tail sticking out of his 116 00:13:46.280 --> 00:14:02.280 pants, it's got to be honestly terrifying to think that there is a human that Satan will possess 117 00:14:02.680 --> 00:14:12.920 to bring about what Satan thinks is the last final attempt, perhaps maybe, or close to the last 118 00:14:12.920 --> 00:14:22.360 final attempt to throw down his cards because he thinks he's going to win. He didn't win at the 119 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:30.200 cross. By the way, he didn't win at the manger either. He lost at the manger when Christ was 120 00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:39.720 born. He lost at the cross. I have to be careful what I'm about to say. 121 00:14:45.640 --> 00:14:52.440 I can tell you that my wife and I at least years ago, we were in a situation 122 00:14:53.400 --> 00:15:01.800 where it became overwhelmingly undeniably clear that the person that we were talking with was, 123 00:15:01.800 --> 00:15:11.160 in fact, demon possessed, not Satan possessed, demon possessed. This man's eyes, we watched it happen 124 00:15:11.160 --> 00:15:19.480 right in front. This man's eyes turned black in his head, like black marbles. When his eyes turned 125 00:15:19.560 --> 00:15:26.200 black, his voice changed and his voice didn't change from like, you know, his normal voice to like 126 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:35.560 Mickey Mouse. His voice changed and it sounded like he was speaking through a pipe 20 feet away, 127 00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:42.680 coming out of the guy's mouth. And the voices that came out of his mouth, you know what he said? 128 00:15:43.160 --> 00:15:51.320 Stop talking about Jesus. Don't say the name anymore. I will not hear it. Don't mention that name. 129 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:57.080 And I said, Jesus Christ is coming back. He's the Lord. He died on the cross. He rose again 130 00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:01.640 from the grave. He's the king of kings and the Lord of lords. This guy starts getting freaked out 131 00:16:01.640 --> 00:16:13.000 physically bizarre. And what transpired is as vivid in my mind as it happened, as if it happened 132 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:22.920 this morning. I would not give up on Jesus Christ as Lord and he's coming back. That voice said, 133 00:16:22.920 --> 00:16:29.400 Jesus Christ is in hell. He's rotting and we're eating his flesh. And I said, Jesus Christ is seated 134 00:16:29.400 --> 00:16:34.680 at the right hand of God the Father. And I wouldn't budge. I would, I just kept saying that. 135 00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:43.880 This guy became more and more agitated. And then out of that pipe sound voice said, all right. 136 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:49.640 But he's not coming back. We're going to do everything to keep him from coming back. 137 00:16:51.640 --> 00:16:58.120 Wow. Wow. Well, they're going to lose that one too because he's coming back folks. 138 00:16:59.640 --> 00:17:03.800 Isn't it interesting that the Bible warns that in the last days there's going to be people saying, 139 00:17:03.800 --> 00:17:09.880 he's not coming back. That's exactly what Satan wants people to believe. The Bible says, watch out. 140 00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:14.120 There can be people scoffing and they're going to be scoffers and mockers. And they're going to be 141 00:17:14.120 --> 00:17:18.840 saying, where's the promise of the Father and where's the promise of him coming back? All things 142 00:17:18.840 --> 00:17:24.840 continue as they were since creation. And the Bible says, and this there willfully ignorance. 143 00:17:24.840 --> 00:17:30.120 That means they choose not to believe it. It's not going to know it. They chose not to believe it. 144 00:17:30.840 --> 00:17:36.200 Now listen, here's a, before we leave off, because I'm low on time again, but I do have to finish this. 145 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:45.800 Is, think of this. This is a, this is not only really good biblical demonology study. What I'm 146 00:17:45.800 --> 00:17:53.960 about to say, it'll freak you out. Satan doesn't know the end time scenario. He's trying to learn it. 147 00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:58.360 I think his arrogance and his pride blinds him from knowing what most of you know. 148 00:18:00.360 --> 00:18:04.600 You don't, you have the lights. Satan doesn't have the light, which means, 149 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:12.920 with Israel now a nation again since May 14, 1948, the Bible is very clear about Israel's future. 150 00:18:14.040 --> 00:18:17.880 So when's the rapture going to happen? Nobody knows. 151 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:26.680 When's the second coming? Well, at some point, at least seven years after the rapture. 152 00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:36.920 Well, the Bible's pretty clear that Israel in the last days, they're going to be deceived by the 153 00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:43.240 Antichrist. He's going to stand in the temple in Jerusalem. Second Thessalonians chapter two tells 154 00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:49.320 us that he's going to declare himself to be God. You know that? You know what that means? 155 00:18:50.520 --> 00:18:58.440 I think every generation, Satan has had to have an Antichrist waiting in the wings. He's got to 156 00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:03.720 shop around just like you go up and down the aisles of Costco looking for what you can use. 157 00:19:05.800 --> 00:19:11.560 Every generation, Satan has to have someone who fits the bill for him that can step into the wings 158 00:19:11.560 --> 00:19:16.200 of the man that he's going to possess. Think of that. 159 00:19:18.760 --> 00:19:23.560 The book of Daniel tells us that the Antichrist is going to arise when the world cries out for peace 160 00:19:23.560 --> 00:19:29.800 and prosperity. Wow. What's the world going to look like when there's no leaders? Right now, 161 00:19:29.800 --> 00:19:33.400 really, it's undisputed leader of the world right now is Donald Trump. I don't care what you think 162 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:40.040 about him. It's tough. The guy makes a comment. He changes the world markets. The guy gets to be 163 00:19:40.120 --> 00:19:46.600 president and other nations start voting differently and they start electing their own versions of 164 00:19:46.600 --> 00:19:57.160 Donald Trump's. The guy does stuff and it's like what? And wow. And prosperity is starting to rise 165 00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:07.240 and the Middle East, Saudi Arabians, the Israelis, the Jordanians, they're delighted with now the 166 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:15.560 potentiality of peace because of Trump's strength. What's going to happen when there's no 167 00:20:15.560 --> 00:20:25.000 world leader? Oh, Satan will produce one. And it's, think about that for a moment. He has to have 168 00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:33.320 someone who he can possess to commence the end time events that he finds himself stuck to because 169 00:20:33.320 --> 00:20:44.280 only God rules and reigns the end time events. I mentioned earlier and it's true. Satan is a 170 00:20:44.280 --> 00:20:51.880 defeated foe. He has no power over the believer. He only has power to sway the unbelievers. 171 00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:59.880 Satan is no doubt about it behind persecution, persecution. Okay. God is behind trials. You and I 172 00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:06.600 go through trials. Those are engineered by God. Trials make a stronger trials are given to us by 173 00:21:06.600 --> 00:21:13.640 God to drive home our faith, to knock what we know out of our head so it falls down into our heart 174 00:21:14.360 --> 00:21:21.560 so it gets into our feet and our hands. That's what a trial is for. But Satan is all about temptation. 175 00:21:21.560 --> 00:21:33.880 God doesn't tempt. Satan tempts and listen and Satan is the one who goes about to perpetrate evil 176 00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:40.360 and for the believer, for the believer, Satan cannot take control of our lives. He can only 177 00:21:40.360 --> 00:21:45.960 shoot temptations at us but he can never possess a believer. It's impossible. Scripture is clear on 178 00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:53.080 this but he's defeated so he's living on borrow time so to speak because we know this. That is last 179 00:21:53.080 --> 00:21:59.960 big gig is when he tries to throw everything in the kitchen sink at Jesus and what is called 180 00:22:00.760 --> 00:22:09.000 the Battle of Armageddon and it's going to flop on him and at the end of the battle, well, 181 00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:14.280 not even the end of the Battle of Armageddon. In fact, Jesus puts an end to the Battle of Armageddon. 182 00:22:15.080 --> 00:22:20.840 It's the second coming of Christ that ends Armageddon. Read that carefully in Scripture. 183 00:22:22.600 --> 00:22:25.480 I'm going to hurry up because you're running out of time. I got about five minutes. 184 00:22:27.320 --> 00:22:33.880 He's going to be bound for a thousand years. The rule and reign of Jesus's politics will be 185 00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:38.920 called the millennium. Jesus will sit on the throne of David and Jerusalem and rule and reign for 186 00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:46.760 thousand years. That's what a chunk of the book of Isaiah is about when the Messiah is enthroned. 187 00:22:46.760 --> 00:22:52.760 The trees of the field will clap their hands when the Messiah rules and reigns from Jerusalem. 188 00:22:52.760 --> 00:23:01.480 The deserts will bring forth blossoms and bloom the deserts which is very awesome. You see, well, 189 00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:06.440 how's that going to happen? Well, those of us who live in California, we have got one of the 190 00:23:06.520 --> 00:23:10.440 greatest deserts in the world. It's called the Mojave. Did you know that when it rains, 191 00:23:11.800 --> 00:23:18.360 a cactus, some of it will bloom. The top of it will just bloom. It was beautiful yellow, pink, 192 00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:27.560 purple, red, flower, but it will still have all of the needles, right, on a cactus. Do you know what a 193 00:23:27.560 --> 00:23:35.240 needle is on a cactus? A needle on a cactus is an underdeveloped blossom. It's an underdeveloped flower. 194 00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:41.080 It won't mature. It's a needle. He's going to cause the deserts to bloom when he returns. 195 00:23:41.080 --> 00:23:49.000 When Christ returns, the deserts are going to look like bouquets when Christ comes back. The 196 00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:54.360 Bible says in the second coming, when Satan's bound, that God is going to, the Lord is going to 197 00:23:54.360 --> 00:24:00.200 crack open the Mount of Olives and a spring of water is going to come up and the water is going to 198 00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:05.720 flow to the Mediterranean and the water is going to flow to the Dead Sea. The fish from the Mediterranean 199 00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:12.600 are going to swim in that canal, that river made by Jesus into the Dead Sea. It says in Ezekiel, 200 00:24:12.600 --> 00:24:17.480 the same fish that are found in the Mediterranean will be found in the Dead Sea. When's that? 201 00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:23.320 When Jesus returns, a thousand year government, I know it's going to freak out some Christians, 202 00:24:23.320 --> 00:24:28.600 they're, who do we get involved in politics? You better change your mind. You better get ready 203 00:24:28.600 --> 00:24:33.480 because Jesus' big politics is coming. He's going to be king. It's going to be awesome. 204 00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:39.960 But during that time, Satan will be bound, but yet for those who have lived into the millennium, 205 00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:45.480 that is, they've been judged by Christ. They're mortals. They survive the tribulation period. 206 00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:50.600 There's just a remnant. They live in. They enter into the earthly kingdom of Christ. You and I 207 00:24:50.600 --> 00:24:55.800 will not be that. We will be glorified with Christ by them. We will not be subject to what they're 208 00:24:55.800 --> 00:25:02.680 going to go through. They will be like we are now where we're subject to death. The Bible says in 209 00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:07.960 the book of Isaiah that when a man dies in the millennium at the age of 100, it says to a child died. 210 00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:13.560 So that means longevity is going to increase. The earth is going to be repopulated, but at the end 211 00:25:13.560 --> 00:25:19.320 of a thousand years, the Bible says Satan will be loosed to deceive those who dwell on the earth 212 00:25:19.320 --> 00:25:27.320 one final time. And then we know that his demise will be at the end of the thousand years, 213 00:25:27.320 --> 00:25:40.680 Satan, death, hell, all of it, Hades, all of it, demons, fallen angels will all be cast in the 214 00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:50.760 lake of fire that burns forever. Wow. So these last two episodes have been kind of intense. 215 00:25:50.760 --> 00:25:55.960 I've just scratched the surface and each and everyone and so many more of these topics. We could 216 00:25:55.960 --> 00:26:01.240 dig down so deep that we could actually write books on this because many people have. It's a 217 00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:05.800 theology, though, from scripture that a lot of people avoid because look, you walk around 218 00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:10.520 Satan so smart. He's got us into thinking that if somebody believes that Satan exists that 219 00:26:10.520 --> 00:26:17.400 they've just gotten too caught up in Halloween parties because Satan so he's so slick. He's got 220 00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:23.320 he's got people to think that if you believe in the devil, he's all rad. He's got a black goat 221 00:26:23.320 --> 00:26:32.920 tea, he's got a pitchfork, got underwear, a little bit of a belly and a bad attitude, big eyebrows. 222 00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:43.800 Nope. Not not at all. I'm going to end with this. Did you know that the Bible tells us in Isaiah 14 223 00:26:43.800 --> 00:26:54.200 in Ezekiel 28 that the most beautiful personality, the most beautiful angel 224 00:26:55.880 --> 00:27:04.600 God ever made was the one who goes by the name of Lucifer by far the most beautiful, 225 00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:18.360 by far the one and only worship leader. He was the crowning cherub, which means he was the top dog. 226 00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:25.160 And I'll leave you with this. You want to know why he messed up? How'd you like to know that? You 227 00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:34.040 can. I want you to read Isaiah chapter 14 in Ezekiel 28. You're going to find the five I wills 228 00:27:34.040 --> 00:27:42.760 of Satan five there's five pillars of Satan's fall. And you know what the number one thing is? 229 00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:58.840 I want to be a God. That's one of them. He wanted to be a God. Beware of anybody who tries to 230 00:27:58.840 --> 00:28:05.640 convince you that you too can become a God. It didn't go over well with Satan. It didn't go 231 00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:13.880 over well for Adam and Eve. It's a doctrine from hell. But I'm convinced of greater things 232 00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:22.920 concerning you. Trust Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Read John's Gospel. No and become 233 00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:30.280 very familiar with the deity of Christ. Look friends, you can study all 66 books of the Bible. How 234 00:28:30.280 --> 00:28:35.160 about this? You can study all 65 books of the Bible and you miss John's Gospel. You're going to 235 00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:46.200 miss the great, great authorship of who Jesus really is. In the beginning was the word. The word 236 00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:53.960 was with God and the word was God. John says that we beheld his glory. The glory has of the only 237 00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:59.000 begotten of the Father full of grace and truth. In John chapter one he goes on to say, 238 00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:12.520 and the word became flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus Christ is the word. He's God, second person 239 00:29:12.520 --> 00:29:22.760 of the Holy Trinity and he is not threatened or rivaled by Satan. So if you want to know a whole 240 00:29:22.840 --> 00:29:29.480 lot more, biblical demonology, marrow lunger, get a copy of this. You can get it anywhere, 241 00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:33.560 apparently, from what we're told now. And I'm really happy about that because as I said in the 242 00:29:33.560 --> 00:29:39.160 beginning, when I was a young believer, you had to buy old, old books like this because they 243 00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:43.880 didn't print them and now they're back in print. All right. Until next time, God bless you guys. 244 00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:48.680 We believe here at real life. We believe that it's time for you to live out. What you believe in 245 00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:52.200 that it's time for real life. And so I want to thank you guys for being with me on the 246 00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:56.840 Jack Gibbs podcast.
