During the past few weeks I have heard many testimonies of Christians who had dreams of satan being cast out of heaven. The question in my mind is that if these are warnings from the Lord, is it warnings of a near future event or is it a warning that it did happen and we are on borrowed time. I can not say for sure. Either there are many loonies out there trying to fool people or the Lord wants to warn us. You decide.
If there is anyone reading this who had a dream, vision or just a word from the Lord about this, please share it with us. You can post anonymous if you want to protect your privacy. I will approve it.

UNSEALED PROPHECY 
Last week and this is no joke:… I had a dream that I was in a house trying to cover up from a massive solar flare that hit the earth then i was near some fire and i died in the dream but then i was awake again in a street, there was shops but no cars, there was people walking around but in my dream and i knew I died and I was now in the 1000 years, I was looking for one of my best friends and I found him and we were really happy about being in the world with Jesus and then i woke up.. Not sure what it mean but it was one of those dreams i will never forget.
Revelation 12:9
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Lately out of nowhere this verse has been in my head quite allot:
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
This new super president the EU is sort of planning might really be something prophetic. And honestly if Solana gets that position im just going to laugh.
No point in getting stressed and panic, We need to be strong and really be prepared. Knowing the AC is actually here will be something very very weird but also a blessing.. Every day i wake up I thank the Lord for another day closer to seeing Jesus. If the AC comes soon then in my opinion that’s awesome because God’s word is again being fulfilled.
I say bring it 🙂
And ill try to help as many people as I can and If they want to kill me then they are sending me to Jesus if they don’t I help more people and see Jesus anyway. Either way Satan loses.

Satan’s man is being prepped for his position and as I’ve tried to put it into words , yet those came out in bouts of frustration …which I am sure you have all witnessed. I apologize to all for my fleshy outbursts but something is just wrong and any just don’t seem it get it !!
Re- the clip – We don’t need to ” swear”on anything right but do understand why he said that though 🙂 –
Jam 5:12 — But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
Vic he uploaded it – Apr 25, 2012 by bheceo and will try to find another one that ” firecharger” shared round about April the 4th.(Please note that I am not endorsing him at all I just find it fascinating )
I pray that I will not be placed in the ” loonie category ” guys but I don’t know what to do with the grieving in my spirit over the past few weeks. The heaviness is almost suffocating yet the peace of the Lord assures me that this battle is His and no matter what we are about to face, He is right here with us.

Subject: I have never once in my walk had this….happen
Please hear my heart as Christ is my witness ( today being my 19th Spiritual birthday whoooo) I have never once shared anything outside the word of God as a thought or a possible ” word” from the Lord. Gods word is my final authority and don’t trust anything outside of it …….even my own thoughts amen?
Well I am led to share the weirdest dream I had last night ( I can’t remember when last I dreamt )
We were driving to the mountains ( don’t recall if we were going to the cabin or what ) and shared that I felt a heaviness in my spirit. As we came around this sharp bend I looked to my right and suspended ( descended ) in mid air was this most vile looking creature that filled the sky in a cloud of massive darkness. The most fascinating thing was I had no fear and wanted to know who all we could pick up along the way. I knew right away satan had fallen.
Ichabod 😦
Maybe I’ve been so focussed on Isaiah 14 and that is why. I dunno 🙂

At the risk of being thought a loon I’m going to add to this conversation. I haven’t had any dreams, and as far as feelings go – I know the Lord has given them to us for a purpose but I don’t generally trust them. With that said- here we go.
About 2 weeks ago I started having this really weird feeling, that something was really wrong. It’s been bugging me a lot (and fortunately driving me to my knees a lot and driving me into the word a lot). I’ve had a general sense of uneasiness (I have to admit I’ve fallen into a bit of anxiety now and then when certain things were coming up, dates and such in the past, but not like this). For me it’s been elusive, just like a sensation that something is not right around me. I asked my wife about it about a week ago (like I said it took me a week to share with my own wife, since I’m not particularly trusting of my own feelings). She looked at me, and said “yeah, I know, I’ve been feeling the same way”. In her typical wise way she suggested I put up a poll on here – which as I’m slow in considering these things I haven’t decided if it would be good to do yet, but maybe it is.
Ok, breaks over for me, Back to work, and then later down on my knees to seek some wisdom.

I need to quote from a dear sis. I love her wisdom and respect her walk and ministry to the body.
” There is such a heaviness in the air, you can’t but be affected.
I truly believe that Satan has come down, cast out of heaven for good. We can feel this. I feel like the apostles of John the Baptist who came to Jesus and asked Him, are you the One? or should we expect another? We are asking ourselves, is this it? Is it really happening? Yes, it is happening. There has been a shift in the spiritual world. An explosion if you will.”
Because we walk in Spirit and Truth there is NO WAY that the darkness can hide hide. We know something is wrong and I love Mr’s Sheep’s ” poll” idea. Maybe here people that are no too willing to be ” labelled” could vote.

I’m actually laughing at you guys! Because, if you’re all loony – then I’m loony also.
I’ve had dreams about God since I was a child. It has been anything from the Rapture of the Church to being snatched up by the collar into the realms of heaven, with God Himself telling me: “You better be good”.
Guess what folks…….we’re not of the World, and just the mere fact that we all are focused on God, and His Return just about says it all to me. We’re not loony, just focused on what Scripture says will happen – it shows that we Believe!
It is the World that doesn’t understand. They don’t understand that what God says will happen, will happen. It may not be in the way that we all “think” in our own perceptions – but God’s Word will come to past.
I also giggle to myself, because just recently Vic admitted to me in an email that he thought I was crazy (loony) for mentioning that I believe that the 1st Beast mentioned in the Book of Revelation is the Revived Roman Empire and not a man. Well, he has since recanted this statement, and as a loving brother, admitted to me that he thought I was crazy (or loony) -but the facts of that which is occurring today, just “may” prove this to be the case.
So, in closing, if anyone is having just really weird things happening to them (as the way the World interprets it) – just remember that our steps have been ORDERED. God is in total control. Believe that He is First in your life, and EVERYTHING works for the good for those who love Him.
Amen.

Vic,
I want to send a special “shout out” to: Pastor Brian Roberts; BerryBlueBerry of 70th week; Scott of Born to Watch, and especially YOU – for staying on top of current events, and not making up excuses or QUITTING by way of providing information on your web-site’s, when things seemed to be so far in the distant, that doubt settles in.
We all must remember that in the End Times all different manner of deception will come in. Even so to the point that it would fool even the Elect, if it were possible. We all must ENDURE to the end – even when things don’t seem to be so apparent.
May God bless you all for not QUTTING! You see it’s very easy to report the news when it’s all roaring in hot off the press. But for those who will never give up, and take the RISK of reporting events that may not be in the popular view, but still edifies the Body of Christ – to you my hat goes off, and I thank God personally for you. May you all have a very special reward in Heaven.

can’t put my finger on anything specific either—but i’ve been watching for something too-since around the time (especially) of the end of march and then through april i have felt (though i do not actually trust my feelings but acknowledge them at least) that a deep darkness is falling and enveloping everything and was not at all surprised when i read of the eu looking for a super-minister (all the while ashton was on schedule to be seeing netanyahu). makes me think the aod is very close. i read the article a day or so before people were posting it and thought to myself-staying quiet in my heart about what i felt this is-that the powers that be are now fully in the grip of darkness and many many people are fully aligning themselves to the devil’s plan. so i read with interest what people were posting about their thoughts about it. like all the puzzle pieces are about to complete the picture. so here we are in may with america’s president making the move to approve same-sex marriage-like a final nail in the coffin so to speak of “no turning back”. i feel like the world over will see a clamp down of martial law soon as the henchmen are getting into place right now and will before long (within months to only a year from now perhaps?) be receiving orders from who i call hell’s man. yes just a hunch but the sheer weight of the collected facts on the ground tell me that Scripture is most definitely fulfilling for the final chapter of the world system–the beast system will roar to life and be that destructive machine the devil will man himself. so i watch with you all my fine friends in the Lord–i feel just like what lafreak described of his own heart—and i pray with you all for Wisdom and Strength and a heart of Compassion to reach out to others in Jesus’ Name along the way as the darkness continues to fall-overtaking everything. (btw-my verse to journal on this a.m.—(and now this post today about the heaviness)—matt 27:45…there was darkness over all the land…….the weight is the darkness descending (in my own personal feelings)–yes perhaps satan is cast down and will soon be “showtime”.

I read these articles and responses everyday. My heart longs for Christ’s return and seeing the steady but subtle transitions going on around us is breath-taking. The gay activists are getting more militant and bold. The statement by the president is another step to toward the abyss.
However, it’s important to maintain balance and perspective regarding what he said in relation to what he has actually done. Yes, he has expressed support for same-sex marriage but has done nothing that has enacted any legislation or has actually changed the law anywhere – yet!
In light of that, we must not panic or over-react. No doubt, what he said is significant and it opens the door wider than ever to future actions that will result in legailizing what is not acceptable to our Holy God. That concerns me.
For me, it’s just another dot that gives us something to watch and adds to the big picture. We are headed in the direction of destruction. So I will, as everyone else here will also I’m sure, keep on pressing into the Word, staying prayed-up, and listening closely for direction from the Holy Spirit.
With respect and expectation,

Welcome Bob,
I dont’ really think we are addressing anything to do with the gay agenda specifically, or the current president. Other than its sort of a another sign of how much morals in the US have decayed, that if God did not judge it he would need to apologize to Sodom. Prophetically, the president’s latest is insignificant other than he is just as worldly and anti-christian as the overwhelming majority leaders around the world today. The stuff going on in this country is a somewhat insignificant, a footnote if you will, part of the bigger picture of a steady advance toward the rapid fulfillment of many prophecies, and a short tumultuous march to the return of our Lord, and his day of ultimate victory over the enemy.

The media is reporting on politicians in Europe that fear the return of a Holy Roman Empire. Brannon looks at Daniel 2 and Daniel 7 that says there will be a revived Roman Empire and Revelation 17 that seems to imply that it will not just be a revived Roman Empire but a “Holy Roman Empire” tied to the Church of Rome. Topic: Jesus told us in Mathew 24 that when the things of Mathew 24 begin to unfold then that generation will be alive and on the earth at the time of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. That means that things will happen really fast and this is confirmed by Revelation 1:1 that correctly translated says that when the things of Revelation begin to be fulfilled they will happen “swiftly” or “quickly”. The fast growing creation of the revived Roman Empire gives credibility to the idea we are living in the last times and that Bible prophecy is going to continue to swiftly be fulfilled. Today’s program will encourage you as it will reveal the supernatural nature of God’s Word and that God is in control as world events unfold and we have been foretold. http://www.worldviewweekend.com/worldview-radio/play.php?id=showsFlat-21244

Interesting – I don’t know about a “holy” empire or a church run empire anywhere in Europe since the only “church” that appears to be really gaining there has minarets and a crescent moon on its buildings. I do think it’s telling how increasingly marginalized, true, biblical christianity is becoming in so many places in the world. Here in the US you are branded a loon or a wacko any time you profess any convictions that are derived from a biblical worldview.
I do think as we are told in Revelation 17 that the religions of man have a huge part to play in the enemies game plan. You’ll notice the worst criticism is generally NOT being levelled at the lukewarm denominations, the “liberal” worldly christians, the catholics rarely get it unless they are standing in the way of abortion rights or other sexual agendas. I think in time that group is going to bend to please the world too. I weep when I see that the concept of “sin” is absent from many so-called “evangelical” churches here, and I shake my head the the “emergent” church exists at all. As if we had some “different” set of problems today than people have for the last few thousand years, and the we needed some “fresh” approach to the gospel. Anyway, I think all those things and all the other man-centered, man-made religions of the world are headed for a convergence on working together “for the good of mankind”. Little do they know they’ll be working under the supervision and at the direction of the destroyer, the enemy of God.
Each day there are so many things coming out I could sit at my computer all day and comment on the news. Here are just a snippet of the stories from today I wish I had time to delve into as they relate to what we know will be.

Has Satan been caste out of Heaven? It seems rather obvious that there are so many modern teachings concerning the book of Revelation that we can no longer see its plain meaning. Everything in it has been relegated to the last seven years of this dispensation which is a fairly new doctrine and most likely radically wrong. I too believe in a seven year period, the rapture, the tribulation, etc, but the book of Revelation entails much more than that.
It is clear from Revelation chapter 12 that the Messiah came forth from Israel and Satan tried to destroy the Messiah but lost the battle and Jesus ascended into Heaven victorious. Once the Lamb of God who was slain for our sins ascended into Heaven the accuser of the Brethren was caste down. So the answer is no, Satan was not recently caste down regardless of how anyone is feeling lately. He was caste down 2,000 years ago and has had no right to go into Heaven and accuse us since then. This is all a part of Jesus finished work at Calvary. Without a knowledge of this we will stand on our own performance and have no real power over the enemy. We will gather in our camps to put others down and have no power to deliver any of them.
Satan has been defeated and we have been commissioned to preach the Gospel, which is the good news that our sins have been paid for and are forgiven so that we can receive the promised Spirit and be born of God.
The lukewarm are simply people without the flame of God’s Spirit burning in them. They will not be caste away because they are lukewarm but rather because of pride and their lack of acknowledgement that they desperately need a savoir to change them. They say that they lack nothing and yet are naked and blind.
We need to be careful that we are not proclaiming to have need of nothing while we sit back and judge others. We need to be careful that we don’t presumptuously put ourselves in the camp that is successfully living up to God’s standards since Jesus made it clear that camp does not exist among men, especially religious men. If we are truly full of the Spirit of God then we will be going about doing good and healing those who are oppressed of the devil, not sitting around talking about how holy we are and how lost everyone else is. In other words we will be more like Jesus and less like the Pharisees who depended on their rule following, outward holiness and passion for religion while judging the world around them as sinners.

i think there is a difference between the apostate church and the lukewarm church. false teachers and those who are the tares that follow them are dangerous. the lukewarm church is asleep and unconcerned which makes them easy prey. as was stressed on the other post rob pointed out-folks really need to do a heart check and examine themselves (letting the Spirit shed light on the Scripture not feelings or words/ideas of man) to see if they are really in the faith. if folks are feeling pinched and pricked by the words of warning of the Scriptures then they may be of the true church because they can feel Holy Spirit conviction. those already given over to a reprobate mind (romans 1) are dead to conviction and feel nothing to humble them-just offended because of their self-righteousness. the apostate church will not bring people to the Cross to repent there. by their fruits you shall know them Jesus said. most folks here at this site are very aware to be judging themselves rather than other individuals. that is why things are said in broad terms as not to speak against another yet honor the Scripture that sheds Light about the unfruitful works of darkness. (that’s what i see but feel free anyone to enlighten me on the subject).

Of course Satan accuses us now. He just can no longer do so before God and he no longer has access to the third Heaven.
The request Satan made to sift Simon was prior to the crucifixion and ascension of Christ but truthfully that is irrelevant and has nothing to do with Satan’s right to accuse us before God. Jesus knew Peter’s weaknesses and knew the devil was going to take advantage of them and warned him. That in no way says that Satan still has a right to enter into the third Heaven and accuse the brethren. In the Old Testament we see Satan going before God’s throne and accusing Job. This is what can no longer take place because of Christ’s finished work.
The accuser of the brethren has been caste down. Caste down where? Into the Earth where he seeks to devour and destroy all that he can and where he desires to sift and test the faith of Christians. The fact that Satan attacks us and accuses us and that in this world we have tribulation does not negate the fact that Satan has no more right to go into the third Heaven and accuse us before God. He accuses us and causes us to accuse one another quite frequently simply because we do not understand the power of the Gospel to save and we have no idea the full extent of what Jesus has accomplished for us.
I never said Satan cannot accuse us or attack us here. That is exactly what he is constantly doing. I did say he has no more right to accuse us in Heaven because as the Word of God plainly says we have been forever perfected in Christ and our sins have been removed from us as far as the east is from the west never to be remembered against us anymore by God. Satan cannot bring up to God what has been already paid for. If you think that he can then he will easily defeat you because he can always find fault with you. He will have you at an altar begging for forgiveness every day instead of going out and casting him out of others who need to be set free.
The fight we fight is the fight of faith. We are not struggling and striving to keep the devil from having any ammunition against us in the heavens. We are standing on the finished work of Jesus Christ knowing that He became sin who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God. Sin is not overcome by some great struggle with Satan but rather by the power of God’s Holy Spirit filling us with Life and moving us to will and do God’s pleasure. That is what the entire New Covenant is all about.
Satan has been defeated. The Lord is just sitting at the right hand of power expecting all his enemies to be made his footstool once His body realizes what He has accomplished. We are seated with him there FAR ABOVE all principalities and certainly far above the accuser of the brethren.
In this world the devil rages but be of good cheer because Jesus has overcome the world! Satan will attack us at every turn but if we stand on Christ’s victory and Satan’s defeat we will come out on top every time.

After he is cast out…he goes after the woman. What is the time-line given for her stay? agghh a time, times and half a time – 42 months. Case closed for me 🙂
When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman [Israel] who had given birth to the male child [Christ]. The woman [Israel] was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the desert, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach.

Yes I am pre trib and yes much of Revelation 12 has already happened and the rest is happening now.
It amazes me that the many of the same teachers who have taught that Satan fell with a third of the angels from heaven also teach that Revelation 12 is some future event. Revelation 12 is the only place in all of scripture that mentions a third of the angels falling with Lucifer. We cannot have it both ways.
Revelation 12 is clearly talking about Israel giving birth to the Messiah, Satan desiring and attempting to destroy him, the Messiah ascending into Heaven and Satan being defeated and caste down as a result. This is not going to a happen in the future. It took place already. Jesus has won the victory over Satan once and for all.
Go back and read Joseph’s dream and you see that the sun, moon and twelve stars represents the nation of Israel. As I said before I believe that Revelation 12 is so simple and easy to understand that only a mind clouded by modern interpretations of prophecy can see anything other than its plain meaning. I am not putting you down because I was there for years, trying to relegate everything in Revelation to the seven year tribulation period and it simply does not fit. God told John everything that had just happened with Christ and all that was coming until his return. Yes, much of it can be relegated to the last few years but certainly not all of it. The four horseman for example had already marched once and it was over a long span of time and Zechariah said they are spirits sent into the Earth that brought about different forms of government and raised different nations up such as Assyria, Babylon, Greece and Rome. Zechariah describes this and every competent bible scholar I have read shows how his vision was fulfilled in the Earth with the last horse marching just prior to Christ coming. John is simply told they will march again. From the time of Christ until now there have been different dominant governments and movements, religious and otherwise, that appear to line up perfectly with the way the horsemen marched in the first place. After many hours of study and teaching Revelation for over a year straight on Wednesday nights I am convinced the fourth horse is marching now and it is Islam. It is a green horse, not a pale horse as was wrongly interpreted from the word chloros.
Regardless of how we interpret the book of Revelation, the New Testament is clear that Jesus has won the victory and Satan has been defeated. I am convinced no one has the corner market on the book of Revelation and no one has it all right and of course that includes me. As for Revelation 12 it is just to simple to miss, in my opinion.

You are assuming everything in the entire chapter happens in a short time successively and there are no breaks between the time the devil was caste down and the 42 months. That is a lot to assume since the norm in prophecy is that it usually spans for long periods of time and includes more than one event. Even one statue that a prophet saw represented several different Kingdoms that would rise and take many, many years to come to pass. In some prophecies we can see the first coming of Jesus and the second in the same chapter and yet we would never argue they had to happen in a short time frame.
I prefer not to argue interpretations of prophecy with you though because it certainly qualifies as meaningless wrangling. The only reason I chimed in is because I believe it is damaging to negate all the scriptures that teach of Christ’s victory and Satan’s defeat in an effort to hold onto our interpretations of the book of Revelation. The simple fact is the scriptures are abundantly clear that Satan has been defeated and we are seated far above him now.

What is an Islam AC?
Give it a few more years and we may both see more “errors.” I don’t believe that prophecy is given to figure everything out. No one has it all figured out but I believe after all I have seen and studied in my heart that the rapture takes place simultaneously or immediately prior to the wrath of God coming. Some would call this a pre-wrath stance or a mid-trib stance but since I don’t believe the four horsemen are during the tribulation I am still pre- trib. I believe the massive earthquake is the arrival of the wrath of God and immediately after we see two things. First God turns back to the Jews and second we see the church standing before Christ in Heaven. Now I am assuming these events are bundled together and only God knows if that is correct.
By attempting to take a non dogmatic stance I have been able to teach Revelation and prophecy without a single argument or division in our church. I have strong beliefs but respect others’ views on eschatology. As for the Lord showing His own the truth about the end times, soon we will all know exactly how and when it is going to happen because it will happen. Until then I strongly doubt any one group will get it all right or even 100% agree with each other.

I appreciate your taking a non-dogmatic stance ont he teaching of prophecy, I think that is wise and commendable for keeping the focus of the church where it should be, on Christ. Many of us tend to be pre-wrath here (hope I’m not painting with too broad a brush here). I think though even though we tend toward there, there are many ideas and speculations about the meaning of many of yet future prophecies of scripture. I’d be the first to agree, there is a past component to Revelation 12, but as has been pointed out below by Hisown, the inclusion of 1260 days and the times, time and half a time in the text suggests some connection to the prophecies of Daniel which are clearly end times prophecy.
If you want put me in the pre-wrath camp, who would prefer to be wrong (since being caught up to the Lord would be far better). We certainly don’t have it all figured out here- so you are more than welcome to chime in to the discussion as you see fit.

What I believe that Pastor Dean is forgetting is what Jesus stated during His Ministry on Earth – and of course you all know this is prior to His ascension. It can be found in Luke 10:18, which states:
” And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.”
Now, the question becomes: How can this war with Michael, his angels and Satan occur in heaven – if Satan no longer has access – and Jesus plainly states that He saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven?

Yes Mr Baldy, we are all making some assumptions based on our interpretations of scripture. I believe that my assumption that Satan has been caste down and no longer has a right to accuse the brethren is very strongly supported by the Bible in general and many scriptures specifically. If anyone has any scriptures that seem to support Satan prancing through Heaven accusing the brethren of sin after the blood of Jesus Christ was shed I am open to view them.
Rather then taking hours to copy and paste I will just say that I believe every scripture about the cross and what was accomplished on the cross for our sakes speaks of Satan’s utter defeat and loss of the right to accuse us before God. The blood of Jesus was powerful enough to win the victory 2,000 years ago and there was no delay once it was presented in Heaven. In other words Jesus did not shed His blood so that the devil would eventually be defeated. He defeated Satan and took the keys of death, hell and the grave back then.
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord and the saints are not up there watching Satan accuse the brethren before Jesus day in and day out. Of all the visions John has of the throne there are no devils present whatsoever, only elders, angels and beasts worshiping the Most High. Heaven is not a place where we get to watch Satan spew his accusations rather it is a place of worship and glory for all the redeemed who have gone on to be with the Lord.
I do believe similarly to what several others have mentioned. I believe Satan is defeated in principle and in authority but not yet forever bound or physically destroyed. He still has a short time to roam the Earth and deceive and devour who he can but his days of going before God’s throne to point out our sins are over.
The scripture is clear that God the Father is invisible and no one has seen Him. Jesus is the physical manifestation of God and He is the one on the throne in Heaven. To me it is asinine to believe that Satan has a right to go before Jesus and point out our sins when Jesus has paid for them in full. That would be like someone going to the one who paid your light bill to argue that you owe for the light bill.
If I did not understand these things then demons would intimidate me and so would diseases and infirmities among men. But because I know about Christ’s conquering work I am able to caste out devils and see sick people healed. I have seen these things many times and only when I am standing on Jesus finished work and knowing Satan has been defeated. I have never had a demon argue with me and bring up my sins when I stand on Christ’s finished work. If he has no authority to do that on Earth then how could I ever imagine him doing that up in Heaven.
I preached for years and saw very few people healed and certainly no demon’s coming out of people. But through knowledge of the finished work of Jesus Christ taught to me by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God I have since seen many healings and deliverances. It is finished and no interpretation of Eschatology will convince me otherwise.
I rejoice with the brethren on here who are excited because Satan will soon be bound and physically destroyed. I agree that will happen soon.

I am not forgetting what Jesus said. I believe Jesus was talking about the initial fall and casting out of Satan and I don’t think that has anything to do with his right to accuse the brethren in Heaven now. We are discussing Satan’s right to go before God and accuse men of sin as he was doing in the Old Covenant such as in the book of Job long after he was caste out of Heaven.
Satan’s first casting out was being thrown out of the house so to speak. He was no longer allowed to live there but could come up and talk to God about our sins and demand justice and permission to kill, steal, destroy and devour men. When Jesus ascended into Heaven with his blood and proof the penalty had been paid there was another casting down that rendered Satan’s accusations defeated also. Now he can longer go before God and he is thrown down here to stay for a short time.

This whole topic has been interesting reading.
Whether Satan has been cast out or not doesn’t really matter in my opinion. All i know is he is going to drag down so many people to Hell with him and that’s the real point. Its all about people and Satan’s goal is to not let them be with the lord for eternity.
We know he gets his time physically for 42 months and on top of all the people who died so far without accepting Christ he wins all the time regarding taking people down with him. This is about all of US not a war between God and Satan. God created Satan and he doesn’t need to win anything he is the almighty. Satan is a rebel who wants to drag as many as he can down with him.
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.
Now if you keep reading that verse above flows right into:
Rev 13:5: And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies and power was given unto him to continue for forty and two months.
SO that sounds to me in plain English that he gets cast down to earth and has 42months (3.5 years) to do his worst before the Lord comes back.
and then
Matthew 24:38“For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
So again i cant see how he has been cast out when he gets cast out before the last 3.5 years ( he cant get cast out twice).. and as said in Matthew 24, that implies Christians and the rest will be here until the lord returns and have to cop Satan’s wrath and endure like the rest of the world.
Then there is the Mark of the Beast and As i have stated before.. when people receive the Mark of the beast there will be Christians who also accept it thinking they should be raptured first so that cant be the mark…
The mark of the beast is more a test from the Lord rather than from Satan.. Why would Satan care if a non christian gets the mark when he already has their soul? He doesn’t. Its the Christians he hopes take it and when the government says to people take this or no food for your kids and get killed or booted out of society people will panic thinking the Lord has left them and will take the mark. Its pretty clear and simple.
IF the rapture happened and Satan marks the rest there is no point.. They are already condemned anyway
Christians will be the ones who he will target as any non christian is already going to hell with Satan.
Cheers,
Peter.

Dear Mr J Dean…… I have noticed that you have taken the title “Pastor” from the way you have identified yourself on this forum. Interesting.
You have also mentioned that you are Pre Trib – not that that really has anything to do with the topic of discussion, as you have only answered what someone had asked you, but I must say that from the information that I have witnessed, most Pre Trib folk “read into” Scripture. You know, as in place things that aren’t there because they “think” things ought to be a certain way – or better yet they “believe” things should be a certain way, just because they “feel” it just has to be that way. You sir, appear to fall into this category as well. Now if I may prove my point……
You have offered absolutely NO Scriptural support to back your claim that Satan no longer has access to the Throne, but in contrast you make this statement:
“If anyone has any scriptures that seem to support Satan prancing through Heaven accusing the brethren of sin after the blood of Jesus Christ was shed I am open to view them.”
I find this very interesting, in that the very same Scripture that you initially mention (but never provide) – in Revelation 12; clearly shows Satan in Heaven fighting against Michael and his angels, and it also mentions the fact that there was no longer a place found for them “any longer” after his defeat. The operative word is “any longer”. This is hard evidence that this remains future – as he then comes down with “great wrath”.
As I have previously mentioned, Jesus said in Luke 10:18, that He beheld Satan fall from Heaven as lightening. Jesus mentioned this during His Earthly Ministry, and prior to His ascension – which means that there was an initial rebellion in Satan being cast out from the realms of where God resides – however; this does not negate the fact that he cannot enter this realm prior to his war with Michael to (accuse the brethren); then be subsequently defeated during the war with Michael and his angels – only then to be cast out once and for all. After all he isn’t mentioned there in Heaven, at that point, popping pop corn and giving out free tickets to hell.
I don’t mean to be mean spirited, but as Vic has mentioned – be prepared to be challenged. You have presented things that “you believe” to be true, and sir, the title Pastor doesn’t mean a thing unless you can provide Scripture to back your claims. As any believer in Christ would, especially you placing the title of “Pastor” in front of your name – should be expected to give an account as to why you “believe” as you do; instead of coming out on a platform with:
“Rather then taking hours to copy and paste I will just say that I believe every scripture about the cross and what was accomplished on the cross for our sakes” (This is your statement)
This is the Body of Christ. Please be prepared to give an account to say the things that you so boldly state, and support it with Scripture. This is what is required of us as mentioned in 1 Peter 3:15 – which sates:
“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear”

Could this great fall be associated with a ” great earthquake ” as the pit is opened and the demonic is released ( 6th seal I think it is – And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon) and secondly a massive blow to the once greatest nation on earth as part of her *judgment for Israel as they placed the yoke on her ? ( they shall say , are you the one that caused this destruction ? – Isaiah 14 )
*Not only for the treatment of Israel but the ” forsaking God ” in almost every accept of the society.
There is certainly a battle going on and that could be the grieving we are feeling in our spirits, but I so want to believe that we will KNOW when Satan has in-dwelt the man of sin and has started his 42 month ” roaring rule”
My question though is why did the unwise virgins ( having a form of godliness ) miss the ” event” or what about those that are consumed with being lover’s of self – the three F’s – “food , fun and frolicking ” people – could this be NOT as spectacular as we would expect ?

I’m with Lafreak on this one- I think to some extent we may be debating semantics here. I don’t know that I have, or have seen here a clear exposition of a)where satan has been since the resurrection b)what access he has / is denied since then. I DO know – he has no power to seperate us from the love of God, so where he is or isn’t really doesn’t ultimately matter. I DO know that he is the prince of this world, he is a roaring lion seeking who he may devour, that he is coming to this world with great wrath because he knows his time is short!
I hope you have not taken offense J Dean – we are often a lively bunch who are passionate about what the scriptures do and do not say. The sparks sometimes fly here when there are variations of opinion. Why is that- because it is vitally important, and I think we all want to engage fully our heart, soul, mind and strength. I hope that no one here is discouraged, but encouraged to prayerfully consider the input of their brothers and sisters as we open up the scriptures and do our best to seperate that which is true from that which is not.
Something else that’s been a big theme here especially this week, is that there is much still in the scriptures which we don’t fully understand, and about future events that I don’t think we can clearly predict exactly how prophecy will be fulfilled. The title of the blog is very appropriate here- since we seek to shine a light on those prophecies that have been unsealed (the fulfillment being revealed to our eyes) and watch for those that remain to be unsealed so that we will know in the time of the Lord’s choosing.

Thanks Colleen – I hope you are able to get some good loose leaf english tea where you are. My wife enjoys it immensely and we have a special little coffee/tea shop where we get very good beans/leaves to enjoy.
I think you are thinking of the 5th trumpet:
And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft. (Revelation 9:1-2 ESV)
That passage has been on my mind a lot since we started this discussion. I don’t know if it’s relevant to this or if it depicts some other event. In a way it seems relevant – since it mentions a “star” falling from “heaven”. I know in Isaiah 14:12 and Luke 10:18 it points out that the symbol of a star falling from heaven refers to satan. I find it interesting that also in Rev 8:10 the third trumpet is a star falling from heaven to harm the waters of the earth. Most recently, when I look on the trumpets they all seem to be contained within the time of the 7th seal, and reflect the beginning of God’s wrath on the earth. I could be wrong, but I don’t think we will be present on the earth when these things take place since we are not destined for his wrath. I’ve been of the opinion for a long time that we are snatched away to be with the Lord sometime between the start of the 6th and start of the 7th seal.

You answered your first question before you finished your barrage of irrelevant statements. You started by asking me why I removed the title pastor from my name and before you could get done you were trying to use that title to attack me and claim I was not answering to the caliber of a pastor. I knew it would eventually be used by someone irritated to attack me. It never fails in any debate or discussion when someone gets irritated and runs out of relevant data or reason they begin slipping in personal jabs which your last post is chock full of.
Your only scripture reference for Satan having access to continue accusing us before God is Revelation 12 which is the very place we are disagreeing on its timing. Luke 10 is completely irrelevant to this conversation since Satan’s initial fall has absolutely nothing to do with what we are talking about. You cannot show me any scripture that says Satan can still go into the third heaven and accuse us before the very one who paid our price. If you want to assume that is what Revelation 12 says then that is your prerogative. To me it clearly says the exact opposite and it does not matter how I “feel” about it.
As for taking my statement out of context that I don’t have hours to copy and paste and then saying I have not provided any scriptures, that makes me wonder if you are speed reading my posts. I have mentioned Joseph’s dream that shows who the woman is in Revelation 12, I have mentioned the fact we are seated far above all principalities with Christ in Heavenly places, I have mentioned the fact that before Christ no men could enter into heaven and after Christ they can. I have mentioned Jesus having the keys of death, hell and the grave. I have mentioned the fact John never saw any devils in heaven. I have mentioned the absurdity of Satan accusing us before the very one who paid the debt he is accusing us of owing. I have mentioned that the wording of Revelation 12 shows that the accuser of the brethren was caste down when Jesus ascended into heaven. I have mentioned that there is no New Testament support for Satan being in the third heaven accusing us before God. I have discussed the four horsemen to support my pre-wrath / pre-trib stance. I have mentioned Jesus saying “It is finished”. I have mentioned that the entire New Testament supports the fact that Jesus paid for our sins in full and won complete victory over the accuser of the brethren over 2,000 years ago. I have mentioned that relegating everything in Revelation to the future and a seven year tribulation period is a modern doctrine that cannot be found in historical biblical teachings. I have mentioned the fact that I never saw demons come out of people until I began to believe in their total defeat. I have appealed to common sense and rational thought by saying things like, “That would be like someone going to the one who paid your light bill to argue that you owe for the light bill.” All I have referred too supports a victorious cross that defeated the accuser of the brethren so that we now have all authority over him. If you don’t feel the same way that is fine. I have no attack for you or accusation. I simply disagree with your eschatology.
I have mentioned all of these things to support my opinion, not prove you or anyone else wrong. You and I have a right to believe as we desire based on what we feel God has revealed to us in His Word. I don’t accuse you of going by your feelings or reading into it what you want it to say though I may feel that way. That is not the way to discuss things as mature brothers in Christ.
It is perfectly fine to disagree with someone but when you start accusing them of making stuff up that is not there because of how they “feel” and attacking their ministry you are out of line and not mature enough for public discussion with your brother. When we begin to accuse one another and jab at each other it is because the accuser of the brethren is alive and well in the Earth inciting us to do so.
Not that it really matters but I have well over 600 hours in the book of Revelation alone and just two years ago I taught it for 52 weeks straight. I have never and never will base my beliefs concerning it on my feelings, denomination, general consensus, modern thought, ancient thought, etc, etc. I do my very best to rightly divide the word and seek God while studying it for the insight that can only come from His Holy Spirit. Now, to claim I have heard from the Holy Spirit better than the thousands of believers who have “heard” something different would be arrogant and foolish. What I believe is certainly working in my ministry and life and I have the tangible presence of God with my continually. Certainly my eschatology is not perfect, just as yours is not, but God does not seem to mind. I think he shakes his head at our dogmatic stances on things none of us fully see or understand. One thing for sure it will all come to light soon enough. That we all can agree on.

Well now Pastor J.Dean – if I may still call you that.
You certainly do feel a need to qualify yourself, now don’t ya? You have mentioned a lot.
Perhaps at this point, it is a lot of rhetoric. Instead of the rhetoric, how about “cut out” what you “think” and apply some Scripture to the way that you have interpreted what you have read – so that others can form their own opinions, instead of taking a defensive stance.
Your cop out as far as your unwillingness to support what you say without Scripture is meaningless – at least to me. Cut and paste is easy – the time it take to edify the Body of Christ should be irrelevant.
Apparently you took time out to write your attack on me, and the disagreement that you have of my eschatology thereof. And it does appear as if it took you some time. I don’t take it personal however. Perhaps my insistence on you backing up what you have presented will light a fire in you enough to put Scripture where your mouth is.

Okay gentlemen, lets not make this a personal attack between brothers, but lets discus (with Biblical support) what we understand. Discus the topic, not the person.
Pastor Dean, although I don’t fully agree with your eschatology, I can see in your words that you do know the Lord. Although we may differ in understanding, I am sure that we can learn from each other. As Justasheep said, the sparks does fly sometimes. Even I have been on the receiving end of it. But I guarantee you that it is in love.
One thing I can say of Mr Baldy, he has a hunger for the truth that I have not seen in many, and he only believes any statement that is supported by the Bible. If he smells an assumption, told as truth without clear Biblical support, he will be like a hound dog all over you.

” How old are you Mr. Baldy? Am I talking with a 15 year old or just someone mentally slow?”
You know Dean I’ve been wanting to share a scripture with you for the longest time but felt it was NOT time. It is now.
Jer 5:31 — The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
Are you not supposed to be an example to the flock? ( don’t answer that as your character clearly shows here again )
Two days ago I wanted to share with you why the Lord has called me out of the harlot church ( no different than than the RCC) and why this knee doesn’t bend to any other but Christ but that is now irrelevant. RCC pope or Protestant priest, I refuse to kiss the ring and have the right as a child of God to question you or any other that thinks they have RULE over His own.
God gives me the right to question- He told me so 🙂

Ok, sorry for the last question. Perhaps you are sincerely not catching the many scriptures I have referred to because I failed to paste the chapter and verse. Sometimes I am guilty of thinking people have a basic knowledge of scripture as a whole and have read through the bible enough times to catch it when a part of it is mentioned. It never ceases to amaze me when I ask the church, “Do you remember when Jesus said so and so?” and they look at me like a deer in headlights. I am sorry for assuming that you knew the Word well enough to catch the many places in scripture I have referred to.
I will take a few minutes to give a few chapter and verse references.
Colossians 2:13-15 (KJV) 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
All of this is past tense and a work that was finished on the cross. What is finished?
1. We have been quickened together with Christ. That means we have been filled with God’s resurrection Life and that we have been made His righteousness and perfection.
2. All of the ordinances that stood against us have been nailed to his cross. That means the Law that we were all guilty of breaking is done away with through faith in Christ and therefore none of us who are true believers, who have been quickened together with him in newness of life, have any guilt whatsoever. We have no guilt at all so no one can accuse us of anything. Don’t get lost this is all very elementary.
3. He spoiled principalities and powers and made an open shew of them triumphing over them through the cross. This means that He defeated the accuser of the brethren and publicly humiliated him and all his followers who thrive on their accusing nature. Jesus has defeated Satan and yet Satan still rages in the world. Why? Because he did not defeat him for the world yet but rather he defeated him for the brethren. He has been caste down and is wreaking havoc in the Earth for his time is short.
John 3:13 (KJV) 13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
1. This means that before Jesus came and died for us that none of us were worthy to enter into heaven. Why not? We all had sin and it would not be just to kick Satan out for sin and let us come in though we were in sin also. The accuser of the brethren and the holiness of God prevented any man’s entrance into heaven. Remember Satan had the keys of death and hades. Why and how did he get them? Why did he have a right to kill and take men to hell? Why does he no longer have that right among all who put faith in Jesus Christ?
2 Corinthians 5:8 (ASV) 8 we are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
1. This means we can go to heaven now when we die. Why? Because Satan can no longer accuse us and we are perfect and holy through the blood of Jesus!
Here are a few questions for you
Why could no one go to Heaven before the cross? Are there people in Heaven now? What drastic change happened to make this possible?
Who is the one who sits on the throne who lives forever and ever?
If Jesus is on the throne, is it him that the devil comes and accuses us before? Jesus paid our debt in full and our sins have been eradicated forever. The idea of Satan going into the third heaven to remind Jesus of them is absurd to say the least.
What does heaven look like today? Where does Satan go when he visits? Does he just wait patiently in the background while worship and praise go up to the one who paid the price for sins and then come and accuse the brethren while the elders and all the saints quietly hush to hear his defeated gossip? That sounds like a doctrine of devils who do not want us to know they are defeated.
Revelation 4:10-11 (KJV) 10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
How is it that though we are now seated with Jesus in heavenly places that you believe Satan gets to come before our seat of perfect righteousness and accuse us of unrighteousness?
Ephesians 1:20-23 (KJV) 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Ephesians 2:1-6 (KJV) 1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 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: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
How is it that Satan can bring accusations against those who have been made perfect by the blood of Jesus?
Hebrews 10:14 (KJV) 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Why would Satan still be able to go before God’s throne to accuse us since Jesus, though his substitutionary death, destroyed Satan on behalf of all those who put faith in Him?
Hebrews 2:14-15 (KJV) 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
We just read that the devil had the power of death and Jesus demolished that. So now we know how he got the keys of death and hades? What exactly qualified him as the Son of Man and our eldest brother to get them? What qualifies Him to keep them?
Revelation 1:18 (KJV) 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
If part of the New Covenant that we are under is for God not to remember our sins then how can Satan be going there to remind him of them? That would be another absurdity!
Jeremiah 31:34 (KJV) 34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Again, it is because of these scriptures and many others concerning the victory of Jesus and our complete redemption that I do not believe heaven is a place where Satan is going day and night to accuse the forgiven and perfect saints of God.
We can agree to disagree without attacking, accusing and being disrespectful.

Sorry if I hurt your feelings. I tried to be nice over and over but that obviously does not work with some people.

Once I finally bit back you called me a false prophet, bad pastor and said you know my character now. I feel like that is a double standard or perhaps I just hit a nerve?
As for you leaving the apostate church, have you found the non apostate church yet? According to Jesus the gates of hell will not prevail against his church. So, to say the whole thing is apostate cannot be accurate. There are dead churches and certainly every church is imperfect because imperfect people are in each one but the church is still alive and well and the Word of God commands us to be a part of it and give up our lives for the brethren in it. Of course there are those who cannot or will not flow in unity and love with other believers and eventually they end up on their own. Hopefully that is not the case with you or anyone in here.
God bless you all and I will be glad to exit and let you guys get back to affirming one another in what you have in common.

Judgment BEGINS in the house of God, but then again you should know that right 🙂
Rev 18:4 — And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
When you placed yourself ” above ” us and your speech was so condensing you reminded me of many I’ve met in my walk- Gal 6:3 — For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
Men who refuse to be accountable to their flock and use their position to silence all those that would challenge their man made pre trib position- even if it defied everything the Holy Spirit was leading one too. That Dean is my concern with you and the reason for the ” RULE WITH THEIR MEANS ” part of that scripture.
Also I will go as far as to call the pre trib position a false doctrine yes.

Vic, Rob, Colleen, Shorty…and others,
I guess you all know that it has never been a matter of not knowing Scripture for any of we who frequent this wonderful web site – and even for those who on a first time basis just happen to drop in. And it’s really not just having an ability to quote Scripture,and applying your own interpretation to it – to which many are mislead; but by putting the Scripture with what one is saying, and allowing one to decide if what you are saying is biblical. This edifies the Body of Christ; to those who are not as familiar with Scripture, and to those who are looking for the Truth.
Vic has stated plainly that Dean would be tested. Any true Pastor of his “salt” – or anyone that can hold his own, will not result to insults; even when he is insulted. The bible is true when it says that you will know them by their “fruit”. (Matthew 7:15-16)
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits.”
I won’t add anything more to what you all have said – other than to say that I believe that Dean has correctly removed the title of “Pastor” from his replies.

Matthew 7:2-5 (KJV) 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
Do you who judge others do the same thing? Anyone who would call someone a false prophet and a false shepherd because they used some sarcasm after being personally insulted is a little confused. My wife is the sweetest Christian that anyone I know has ever met but I have learned if you bite her enough she will eventually bite back. Does that make her a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Of course not, that makes her human and has nothing to do with being a false prophet. Jesus constantly rebuked holier than thou religious people who thought they had it all together so what does that make him?
I have been in ministry for 19 years and have never so much as raised my voice at another believer or divided from them and went my own way. I have never forced any doctrine on my “sheep” much less matters of eschatology. I stated that clearly from the beginning. If I am guilty of anything it is calling them like I see them. You were responding to me with immaturity and personal jabs. After trying to be nice and cordial you continued so I finally called it like I saw it and I don’t regret it. If you came in my church with that disrespectful attitude and accusing nature I would do the same thing whether I was the pastor or the brother sitting beside you and you would have another reason to leave the “apostate church.” Perhaps the problem does not lie with the church at all.
Is it any wonder that some of you have decided to come out of the “apostate church.” You are on here name calling, questioning someone’s salvation, calling a pastor you don’t know a false shepherd and applying double standards to yourselves. Could it be that some of you and some people who frequent these kinds of sites simply have personality disorders and they cannot get along with other believers? In such cases it is convenient to become a holy called out one, isn’t it?
Most believers are able to faithfully serve with other believers and not leave their churches because of imperfections and imperfect people. They are not in the habit of attacking people who have different eschatology or thinking they have some special insight that exalts them so high above others that they have to leave the apostates behind so they can sit at home and put people down on a computer. Obviously not all here are guilty but everyone should practice some discernment and encourage the ones who are to go to church and seek healthy relationships with real people who are imperfect but seeking the Lord as well.
God bless you all. He is able to save all of us, even with our imperfections, if we will look to Him to finish the good work he has begun. May He grant you life and repentance and may He do the same for me. Thank God in Heaven we won’t be confused and attacking one another.

This thread went from a sensible conversation about Satan being cast down to a battle ground… We all have our own opinions and views but we all do agree in the Lord Jesus as our savior.
Some versions vary more than others and when it comes to prophecy and its a hard one to put your finger on and say 100% this is right that is right and so on.
I reckon everyone should just calm down and relax a bit :)..
I still think the ENPI theory is worth watching and that’s my opinion but also might be fact but i cant say 100%. I also think Satan will be cast down prior to the abomination of desolation and that might happen soon by looking at current events.
I also think Javier Solana is out of anyone else in history has done (end time prophecy wise) alot more than any other person regarding who the AC might end up being and is worth watching.

Dean,
I actually wasn’t going to comment on any other statements that you have made, but honestly you seem to be a very sensitive person. You come across very arrogant, and proud of yourself . You further seen to have this never-ending need to qualify yourself. I personally don’t care how many hours of study you have, or how long you have been in the Ministry – just as long as what you have to add edifies the Church. Having the right to boast belongs to no man. It appears as if when someone challenges you, you “attempt” to draw them into argumentative points of view, and if they don’t agree with you, you result to name calling – or making subtle comments about them. And this has been you – you alone, and not others.
Just reading your comments, you have accused some of calling you a false preacher, or making accusations towards you – well, if you are referring to me, if you’ll carefully read what I have posted, you will see that I never accused you of anything. But I have sternly challenged you, and so has Hisown.
You are sensitive man. You point blame towards others when they ask you to show account for your actions. This is a very effective device, when you’re in a Christian audience – and you play on the emotions of those who want peace. Well, while I am a Christian, I ain’t no Punk – and I see right through your nonsense – or else you would have left it alone. Why don’t you quit pointing fingers, and man up.
Guys, I don’t want to offend anyone, but re-read what this guy has posted, how he states it, and how he applies his very sensitive emotions to his views. Dean, many won’t communicate to you what I am – but they feel it it their hearts.

Dean please hear my heart. We are called to warn, edify and protect the flock right?
Personally for me to trust you and to test the fruit of your ministry I asked you very kindly to send us the link of your church ( you ignored that request ) so that as bereans we – “in received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so”
No man has the right to take that God given command from us- like in TEST all things right? Please don’t deny me that 🙂
We are in a time of great deception and the Lord keeps on reminding me of the warnings in His Word. I take note when He does.
Cast out of the ” synagogues”, beaten and betrayed? a serious wake up call for the time we are in. Jesus warned us beforehand.
But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.Mark 13.
Jer 9:4 — Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.

This caught my attention – “The alliance between Iran, Russia, and Turkey is getting stronger from all accounts, and it will be interesting how the G8 summit plays out with the May 23rd Iranian nuclear meeting in Baghdad, which ironically is where the four angels are chained in Revelation even though their moment in prophecy is not here yet.”

Revelation 9
1And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

Pastor Brian’s commentaries are always rock solid and very thorough. We are really blessed that he is able to continue watching and sharing his thoughts. I don’t think I’ve ever ready any of comments yet where I wasn’t nodding my head thinking – that’s exactly right.
I can’t remember the name of it, but I recall a short time back Putin calling for an expansion of a Western Asia pact that would widen Russia’s influence over the region. I also think it is quite interesting that Armenia and Azerbaijan (two of Israel’s only remaining friends in the region) are rumored to be on the brink of war over ngorno karabakh again. Azerbaijan is an important site for airborne support/refuge for any Israeli jets that would take part in an attack on Iran. If the russians intervene, that asset could be cut-off.

I echo the comments on Pastor Roberts.He is in tune with daily events as they may relate to Bible Prophecy. Although I have a slight disagreement with him concerning the fact that there will be a “False Prophet” – I do admire his willingness to not be so closed minded as to rule out the ENP(I) . As a matter of fact, he often mentions it in his commentaries, while others have ruled it out completely, abandoned it – or have never considered that it could be the strengthening (confirming ) Instrument of the Covenant with Many. He has also considered that some other 7 year Covenant could come into play at some point – which tells me that he realizes that we are in the last days. He has demonstrated that he is a faithful Watcher.
Pastor Roberts, Chris Perver, BerryBlueBerry & Curt of the 70th week; Scott of Born to Watch, Constance Cumbey…and Farmer are a few that can be noted that have good sites bring forth information.

The Lord gave me a dream on March 5 of this year. It is a rather lenghty story of how what all he has done with me started a little over a year ago. I at that time “sensed” his near return but then some things in my life that had been in the making (not good) from 24 years ago literally brought me to my knees in desparation on Good Friday of 2011. I told the Lord, I will seek you like I have never in my life but I cannot take the turmoil of what these difficulties have caused any longer that had been going on for 24 years. It had to do with the sexual abuse of my son by a church member who was also my neighber and his wife was the daycare provider for my young son. Anyway…the problems that arise from/with a sexually abused child as they go into adulthood can be traumatic ont he entire family and have been for many many years. Many suicide attempts by my son, and just much heartache. Well…once I fell to my knees, and started diligently seeking the Lord he told me in my spirit…Seek my face, and I will fix your problems”…So that is what I started doing. My diligently seeking led me to study in depth the book of Revelation, Daniel and of course by the time you study all other aspects of the end of times you practically go through every book of the Bible. back in the early part of the year for several weeks the thought came to mind and I had been contemplating that satan would not want the world/Christians to know when the “covenant with many” that starts the final week of Daniel. Well..first of all let me say the Holy Spirit has been “moving” in my belly ( i know weird but I pray you will believe me…as I study truths of scripture),He has given me the gift of discernment ( let me know by moving in me when I am in the presence of demons…specifically demons of perversion…again weird but true) and has enlightened me on many things to be true that i never fathomed was real…such as Nephilims, and much more). Anyway…on the night of March 5, the Holy Spirit literally woke me by moving in my belly ( feels like a million or more butterflys fluttering inside) sometime in the middle of the night. When I woke from this moving immediately the words came to my mind “Quit looking for the covenant it has happened” you are in the final 7 years now”. I asked the Lord…did you wake me so I would remember this dream/words. He moved and moved ( which means yes …well he moves in different ways for different things, but he moved as he does saying yes I did). I then went back to sleep and not long I don’t think after that he woke me again, and when I woke the words came to mind “the next thing to look for is the Abomination of Desolation”…I again, said Lord did you wake me so I would remember these words. Again, He said YES. So…I have been telling as many people I know ( and everyone I know is/was still searching for something that could have been the covenant) about the dream. I know it sounds weird about Him moving in my belly but he does it everyday….when I study, when He wants my attention to spend time with Him, when He wants to warn me of demons, when I take my grandsons to movies, skating, etc and songs are playing that are not of God ( and believe me there are tons) in kids movies…He warned me ahead of time when my car was going to breakdown, He warned me when I made wrong turns while driving, I cannot tell you how the list goes on and on and on. I cannot even begin to get “mad” about anything he feels is not “called” for..or even upset without Him immediately stopping me by moving….I pray you all believe me, He is my Lord, my Master, my Savior…He has cleansed me from the very depths of my soul from the hurts of the last 24 years, He told me who it was/confirmed it was actually 2 people that molested my son…one my son never denied as I told him the Lord told me…i confronted the person that did it…they said “well what about all the good things I did for him”…he cried like a baby, never denied nor admitted it. Anyway, he has worked miracles in my life and part of the miracle is letting me know that we are in the final 7 years now. I pray that those that do not believe in Jesus will seek him and give their life, their hearts and their souls to him. then…prepare for what is to come. Food, water and whatever we may need to last until the Lord returns. I believe we are here through most of the final 3.5 years of the 7 year tribulation.

I have come to the same conclusion of a 6th seal rapture…Rev 6:12-13 describes as well to me exactly Matthew 24:29 says and then goes on to say in Matthew 24:31 He shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they shall gather his elect, THEN..Luke 21:25-28 is again the same signs/scenario as well as Mark 13:24-27. I pray this is when we are “out of here” 🙂 before those trumpets start blowing! I tend to think we may be gone right before the last year of the final 3.5 years of the 7. Not sure if these verses mean anything…about how the “wrath of God” will last a year and I think the wrath starts being poured out after the 6th seal as it says in Revelation 6:17 for the great day of his wrath is come. and …if a day is a year as in the final week of Daniel then that makes sense. Also, Isaiah 63:4, 61:2 and 34:8 all reference “a year” when talking about the Lords vengeance. Any thougths?

The Lord had been preparing us for this time’s of sorrows since then and to see His Word not return void is the most amazing testimony of how He will lead and guide us through the soon coming 1260 days trib.
I wanted to testify of how the Lord is growing our home fellowship ( like in the old days of meeting in homes ) The day before yesterday the Lord sent another two strangers into my life in a parking lot near the beach. It was such a God thing as He planned the whole divine appointment meeting in the most perfect timing and providential perfection.They shared to the finest detail what we share here and expressed their concern for what they are sensing. They felt defeated as they were not being fed and have asked to join us Friday nights 🙂

Yesterday the Holy Spirit reminded me of a verse he gave me in 2007 which I posted yesterday MAY 17, 2012 – 3:06 PM
Isa 66:5 — Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
In the wee hours of this morning He reminded me of a man that loved to use malicious words as it is written :
3Jo 1:10 — Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.
I wanted to study this little man more and what more the Word of God had to say about ” having no guile in one’s mouth ” when lo and behold the correlating verse was , yes you guessed it Isa 66: 5. I was shocked- well , not really as this is how the Lod has been working in my life since I stopped placing my ” trust in men ” and started to worship Him alone 🙂
I will ask Dean( I think it’s the THIRD time now ) to please share his ministry page with us so that we as children of God can ” prove all things ” which could lay the questions to rest.
Confession time 🙂 After I got saved out of the JW cult, I was on fire ( you guys know my whole story of how the Lord sent me as a young widow to this strange land and don’t feel like repeating it ) and was devastated to witness the very same ” arrogant spirit” I saw (in my preach dad ) in almost every Baptist Fundamental church I went too. It took me about 15 yrs after being saved to pluck up enough courage to even dare to ” question the pastor” and boy I was met with the very same smirky look, the sarcastic laugh, the little innuendoes and the smack on the hands for DARING to question HIM.
That’s when God called me out and showed me the methods a TRUE Shepard uses as he feeds his flock. It ain’t in cruelty and mocking’s either. Where is the love, the humility, the caring and the feeding? I’m sorry but may the Lord rebuke me if I ‘m in error but I don’t see that and that is what red flagged me.
It’s not about, look at me I , me or myself Dean, it’s being a vessel God chooses to work though and that is why I stand with Mr B…he has a reputation of being used of God to affirm in more ways than what I can even begin to count as well as those who fellowship here have built up my trust and my respect.
Why not let us into your world , what are you afraid we might see?

How else would one be willing to forsake all for Christ?
As a fundamentalist Baptist in all the yrs and my walk with Christ I was reprimanded for DARING to share what the Lord was showing me through His precious Holy Spirit and was DEMANDED that I adhere to those that rule over me. There was no extra biblical whoo hoo stuff just plain the WORD of God lead by His precious Holy Spirit that was being told me ” no there is no such thing today as the gifts are done away with”. Then what alerts me to the falsehood I see I would ask? I was silenced 😦

HI Deb,
It takes a lot to have the strength to come out and share the experiences that you have had throughout your life.
As I read your testimony, I am reminded of how Jesus warns us over and over again that at His Coming men would be behaving just like they were when the Earth was destroyed by flood. (Matthew 24:37-39) They weren’t WATCHING, as they didn’t believe, and they didn’t have a clue.
While we won’t know the exact day and hour we will recognize the signs. There is no doubt in my mind that we are in the last days – and I don’t need to be convinced of it either. The signs speak for themselves. Many of you don’t see what is really going on outside of your own environment, or world. Sexual immorality is OUT of CONTROL! It is so bad, that I hope and pray that none here are involved in such a destructive, deceptive, emotionally mind controlling terrible sin. Paul speaks of this sin, in that he warns how very self destructive it is.
1 Corinthians 6:17-19:
17) But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 18) Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19) Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own”
Deb’s testimony speaks volumes to me. I’ve seen cases where little children have been taken advantage of by some sick, warped, twisted minded person, who has been so filled by their own lust – that I can’t help but to believe that the evil that is in them is being demonically controlled. These demons, in my opinion often control those who are predisposed to that sort of sin.
There is so much sin going on out there in our neighborhood’s that we don’t see – and many diverse sins, such as sexual immorality has been so desensitized, that we become numb to what is going on in our surroundings. We trust people too much – at a time we should be on high alert for these perverts, and men and women of sin that do the Body of Christ no good, but destroy homes and lives.
It is no wonder that most will miss not only the 7 year covenant that is confirmed, or strengthened, even if it isn’t the ENP(I) – as another one could come, but I believe that many will miss the A0D as well.

Not that I need to constantly reminded that I’m a princess daughter of the King but it sure helps to heal the wounds of being completely rejected and despised by my own family for the cause of Christ, not to mention most of the religious I meet in my travels.
1) You said – ” We trust people too much – at a time we should be on high alert for these perverts, and men and women of sin that do the Body of Christ no good, but destroy homes and lives.” 2) I believe that many will miss the A0D as well.”
How does one even begin to share this concern with a people that God is pouring into our lives in a time such as this? I don’t know what to do with the flow of people He is sending as every single one of them quote the ” Left Behind series ” VERBATIM and have it all down..how does one even begin to cut through the years of this teaching and present the AOD from different perspective . I tried last night in our home fellowship ( which the Lord is adding too daily ) and realized it is only the Lord that can open the eyes of another. He promised amen ?
Getting back to the original thought of this very long discussion 🙂 I was blessed this morning by a commentary by David Guzik on –
2 Kings 22
“Some people forget that Satan and his fellow fallen angels have access to heaven (Job 1:6; Revelation 12:10). There is a well-intentioned but mistaken teaching that God can allow no evil in His presence, meaning that Satan and other fallen angels could not be in His presence. These passages show that God can allow evil in His presence, though He can have no fellowship with evil and one day all evil will be removed from His presence (Revelation 20:14-15). ”
Good stuff !

He entered the garden to pray
He knew when He entered

His Blood was already spilling
God loved His Son
as Son loved Father
and for this He was willing.
the agony then continued as thorns pierced His brow
again the Blood trickled down the Lamb’s face
dripping from His cruel Crown
His Body battered but His Spirit undaunted
His accusers continued their hate
they could not break down His Silent Stand
then mocking they sent Him away.
a Spectacle to see as the Nails were driven
suspended between earth and sky
and then the Blood flowed——from the Lamb that was given
yes-for you and i.

this came in mere moments after i prayed having read this portion of Scripture then asked for a poem. He blew me away with this answer back. He is acquainted with grief is He not? it is true—nobody knows better than Jesus what rejection feels like so He knows what we go through in this poor broken world. redeeming poor broken us was why He came–it was for Joy (hebrews 12) that was set before Him He endured the cross despising the shame–yes in spite of taking the world’s shame He did this with Joy–but–what a cost to God the Father and Jesus His Son. and now how Beautiful His Glory as He sits at the Right Hand of the Throne of God!!! this is Who is keeping our hearts company when the world says it wants no part of us—(and oh how tragic when people decide they want no part of Him)………………love to all in His Beautiful Name.

Mat 24:29 Immediately *AFTER the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

People don’t need the devil to be wicked. Many people can find the devil looking back at them in the mirror.The person in the mirror usually is that persons own worst enemy and the devil knows it. The devil is a convenient whipping boy for people that are in denial of THEIR OWN WICKEDNESS. The coward says,”the DEVIL made me do it”! People are evil and sneaky and they have secret sins that they would never admit. The thoughts of their minds are depraved and sick beyond almost all imagining. Is the body the Temple of the HOLY SPIRIT or has it become a habitation of DEMONS? The Lord said of some that they were of their FATHER THE DEVIL. Just make sure he ain’t YOUR DADDY! Romans 7 and 8 should be kept in mind. You must battle thought for thought against your adversary and cast out of your mind ANY and ALL thoughts that do not conform to HOLINESS.Many believers are conquered right in their own minds right off the bat (immediately). If Satan has your mind, the rest doesn’t matter because you have ALREADY LOST. You must have the HOLY SPIRIT and being able to identify him is even better. Stay IN the HOLY SPIRIT and you have the VICTORY. YOUR LIFE is IN the HOLY SPIRIT. Outside of the HOLY SPIRIT is DEFEAT and DEATH. My own personal story is this. There were times of great distress and mental anguish as a believer. I mean on a daily and continual basis. I was a “true believer”,yet I was literally tormented on the inside by events happening externally,personal interactions with others,my employment situation,my financial situation,the ungodly words and conduct of people around me,temptations presented themselves, all those things and much much more all caused all kinds of thought processes and feelings. Of course I cried out to the Lord. I noticed that sometimes I felt REALLY GOOD and had GREAT PEACE but that was fleeting and momentary and I was right back into the inner turmoil along with my worldly affairs such as my job and interactions with others and the INNER PEACE that was so fleeting, GONE! I silently wished that the LORD would give me that GOOD FEELING and PEACE that felt so GREAT. The PEACE came back and was gone again quickly. I then over time REALIZED that that GREAT PEACE was acutally the HOLY SPIRIT and that I was in a SPIRITUAL WAR and if I didn’t pay attention I could be overcome by evil and LOSE. I learned to identify the HOLY SPIRIT and I learned how to stay in HIM and FIGHT IN THE SPIRIT. I actually had the HOLY SPIRIT the ENTIRE TIME but my inability to perceive him for who he is cost me, years of defeat. I now live the VICTORY. You must wear your armor as described in Ephesians 6. You must have courage and be brave enough to live the VICTORIOUS LIFE that the LORD wants you to live and that HE PAID FOR. The VICTORY IS YOURS. If you don’t fight, and that could be because you don’t know how to or because you are frightened, IF YOU DON’T FIGHT, YOU WILL LOSE and IF YOU DON’T FIGHT CORRECTLY, YOU WILL LOSE! If a soldier is commanded by his CAPTAIN to gird himself for battle and to wear his armor,to put on his helmet,take up his shield and draw and use his sword it is for a VALID REASON. If the SOLDIER disobeys, he will be slain in battle of the ENEMY. The CAPTAIN will not be at fault. Your adversary wants you dead, if you are unarmed and dreaming, scared or disobedient YOU WILL LOSE.

1Jo 2:16 — For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
He is a liar and a murderer, he obeys the lust for things forbidden. He uses s e d u c t i o n as he did in the garden of Eden.
Jhn 8:44 — Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

The mind is a spiritual receiver if you will. The enemy is invisible. Remember we are not waging war against flesh and blood. Remember,”Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world”,I have used that to great effect many times. We have the VICTORY but we are ordered to fight and commanded to use the weapons of our faith. The kingdom of heaven suffers(permits) violence and we are in a WAR. Part of the arrangement is that no matter what happens, we should not be anxious about anything,the POWER of the LORD is UNLIMITED ! The LORD in YOU is truly a no contest VICTORY every time, guaranteed if you have the FAITH. TRUST ME, when I tell you Satan or any other evil entity can’t win against a HOLY SPIRIT FILLED WARRIOR. In fact according to the Scriptures everything is going according to the way the Lord said it would. Great confidence can be had understanding that fact. God wrote it all out in a book and published it and you know what Satan can do to stop it ????, NOTHING !!!! lol lol lol, I repeat, Satan can’t stop it! lol lol I beat him up many times, I have that dummy on the run because the Lord and I are friends and I now know how to stay in the HOLY SPIRIT.

I was not implying that you were being deceived. My warning to you was that in your efforts to understand the Truth, that you not be overtaken by those who have very subtle messages in their delivery – insomuch that they often don’t have the truth in their hearts, but have a deep desire to deceive those that do.
Your heart is tender. Perhaps it is from coming from a very deceptive, very false doctrine. I really don’t know. Those who have endured False Doctrine are often those who fall victim to very clever words, easy soothe saying spirits – that often comfort the mind in an effort to find peace. For the most part, it can be a victimization form of sensationalism.
I love you Colleen, and although I have never met you, I can sincerely tell by your earnest desire to lean the truth, that you desire the Truth from your heart.
My initial reply to this was that you see through those who desire to destroy through soft words that give apparent medicine to the heart, but in the very end destroy the soul.
May peace continue to find you, through the Holy Spirit of God.

Hisown,
I’ll let Mr B. respond for himself to most of this, but I have a thought about being deceived. Having come out of the Roman Catholic apostate tradition myself, since I’ve come to true saving faith in Christ I think I am even more sensitive to the clever schemes of men. I listened to them for 30 years – now when I hear them from other traditions be it the SDA’s, JW’s, Mormons, Catholics, word-faith, pentecostals, luke-warm mainliners, or “liberal theology” denominations – it doesn’t matter I have a desire to check everything a person says against the Word, and with other commentaries on the word that I’ve found to be faithful guides and resources in the past.
Where I think Mr. B could have a point about those of us that were not raised in the habits of lifelong bible study – is that we might not have the depth of biblical base for the word of truth to work in us as effectively and as reliably as someone who has diligently studied their whole lives. I do believe though that the Holy Spirit is a huge help here though (to both the well-studied, and the more recently studied) I sometimes heare someone delivering a message or word, and something inside me just doesn’t set right with it, it sounds all wrong. Sure enough, when I’ve had time to digest and check against scripture it’s not hard to find where they’ve gone wrong.
You are right though – we all need to be on our guard, against pride in thinking we know the Lord and His Word so well that we cannot be deceived and against the drip by drip erosion of unrepentant sin. I’ve been finding these last few years – if it doesn’t seem like my prayer life/spiritual life isn’t going so great that those are the times to double down and ask the Lord to point out sin/guide me into repentance in an area of my life.
I hope that helps and is encouraging to both of you.

You are absolutely right. Not one of us can say that we have arrived – and know it all. I sincerely hope that I’m not coming across that way.
The message that I was trying to relay actually comes from experiencing my own family members who are involved with the very false Jehovah Witness cult. I have personally seen it destroy lives. My uncle is the greatest disappointment. He only believes in this cult because he feels in his own understanding that no one should go to hell. They tell him what he wants to hear, so he feels good about their false message. I have also witnessed other people that I have become close to in my life leave one cult, only to find another one – almost as if they are drawn to various forms of spiritual deception like a magnet. I don’t know what it is, other than to say that it is the power of Satan.
I have a very deep passion when it comes to deception. It just flat out destroys – and I don’t care what form it comes in, so if I came across a bit harsh and self-righteous, please forgive me, as that was not my intent.

The ” Jezebel spirit ” – and the doctrine of Balaam = teaching , trying to SEDUCE the children of God in three areas.
1) Being a stumbling block.
2) Idolatry.
3) Sexual immorality
What was that again about the three F’s? oh yea, food , fun and frolicking 😦
Rev 2:14 — But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
Rev 2:20 — Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
This was the most powerful quote of the article.
“You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.” (Luke 3:7-9)
Since God cannot change, the spiritually mature should see that the point is still the same: It’s one thing to say you belong to God, but it’s quite another to have the life to back it up. You don’t think that the Pharisees had any good works; of course they did, but they loved the approval of men, just the same as Rick Warren and Rob Bell and Joel Osteen and Pope Benedict XVI seem to today. I exhort you, don’t be fooled by deluded deceivers any longer because this is what the Lord says to those who are:
“‘But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice sexual immorality. So also you have some who hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.’”
(Revelation 2:14-17)”

5)
The desire for power and prestige. The desire for power and prestige- but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: (Matthew 20:25-27)

7)

8)

And he showed me more than I ever thought was possible. And now I realize how much more I still don’t have a clue about. This is not scripture, but has been gnawing away at me. I had seen some material saying that the 4th of July was the day that Satan would be cast to the earth. I didn’t think much about it, since you never know what is true or not unless it is in the Bible. But that night, I saw the lowest hainging blood red moon. Thought it was ominous, but we have had others so didn’t really make any connections. Until I woke up in the middle of the night to the craziest lightning storm ever. It was just constant lightning. A little thunder, but this lightning seemed other worldly. I still didnt make the connection. The next day I started thinking of that passage how Satan would fall like lightning from the heavens. Then I remembered that information I had read. It is now what is stuck in my head. Was wondering if others had or heard anything along these lines. So much has happened to me, that now I can’t really ignore these kind of feelings. But I just feel so drained and just don’t want to be in this wicked world anymore. I’m scared for my family and friends, but just don’t have it in me right now to try and help people anymore. I’m just so tired of trying to wake people up. So many just think they know everything without looking into anything. Feels like i’m just going through the motions. Work is so unimportant, but I’m still living in this world and have to pay the bills. It feels so close, but I know I can’t know the day or hour. And I honestly am scared too, because I wouldn’t dare presume to know God’s mind and how he feels about me. God Bless you all. Thanks for this site.

`Oct.30, The Hardest Lesson
Wait and you shall realize the Joy of the one who can be calm and wait, knowing that all is well. The last, and hardest lesson, is that of waiting. So wait.
I would almost say tonight “Forgive Me, children, that I allow this extra burden to rest upon you even for so short a time.”
I would have you know this, that from the moment you placed all in My Hands, and sought no other aid, from that moment I have taken the quickest way possible to work out your salvation, and to free you.
There is so much you have had to be taught — to avoid future disaster. But the Friend with whom you stand by the grave of failure, of dead ambitions, of relinquished desires, that Friend is a Friend for all time.
Use this waiting time to cement the Friendship with Me, and to increase your Knowledge of Me.
Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield. Psalm 33:20
Keep lookin’ up!

Have you guys been sensing from the Holy Sprit that something is just not ” right”? ( and that we will know what that is pretty soon here?)
The Lord has called me to schedule a meeting this morning with three prayer partners and am overwhelmed by the ” urgency” I have in my spirit.
Thank-you for praying as you read this.

Yes Hisown the presence of evil in the world seems to be descending like a thickening fog all around us. The enemy is pulling out every trick he can because he knows his time is short.
