Yes
I wonder if one of the most successful deceptions of Satan is convincing peeps that he is Gods only enemy... Jesus Christ clearly says the last enemy to be defeated will be death... Right off the top of my head, without much thought or ANY research, I can think of 3 enemies of God... Satan, Mammon, and Death... Just something I was thinking about and wanted to share...
@Nightring satan is the origin of what you said and all demons. satan really doesn't want people to believe he is real then they realize God is real. satan imitates God. With the temptation came the fall and death. he is poorly still wanting to be god. When God defeats death it will be at a time when all that is in hell is released and people will beg to die and there will be no death. God is going to remove death. He is going to let them see and experience the gods they worshipped. This spiritual war is satan against God and we are victims being used by satan til we learn what the spiritual was really is. I have probably said too much already just gave you what came to me. Above I told 2ncourage about a book I am reading. It gave me many answers I have wondered about many years.
Mat 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. ----------------------------------------
You are going to find that when you repeat what others are saying as your own understanding at any given moment (for we all know that our understanding of things spiritual grows and changes over time) that it may behoove you to look into the words they use... For example... "all that is in hell is released" etc etc... Without any clarification, you may inadvertently lead people to believe that you are speaking of the lake of fire reserved for the devil and his angels... But that is not actually where they are now is it??? (rhetorical question) So you may wish to dig a little deeper in your studies and begin to understand the different places described in the Bible with the use of just one word... Do you mean the lake of fire? (known as Gehenna) Or do you mean Hades? or is there even a third place referenced with the word hell... (again rhetorical questions for your own personal study... I already know the answers) And do not mistake me as pointing out that word alone for digging on... I mean every single one that pastors and other well meaning peeps throw out there to folks... I am glad you find that book informative... I have also studied in depth, from the original sources, this subject...
---------------------------------------
I want you to know that what you wrote is good, yet it has some errors that lead me to believe you might be quite new to the deeper aspects of this subject... I hesitate to write anything at all only because so many mis-read most of what is written when dealing in matters spiritual... And far far too many mis-speak when they discuss such topics... Just like that fella saying that all that is in hell will be released... He full well knows that nothing will ever be released from the lake of fire... But fails to disclose that the lake of fire is not what he was referring too... And this is how errors creep in over time... Peeps just repeat what they hear, without looking into it themselves... Because they are caught up in Mammon and dont want to spend the time away from the world to learn the truth...
------------------------------------------
Satan is not the origin of Death, or Mammon... Satan was the origin of introducing Death into the world through tricking Adam and Eve into choosing to believe Satan over God... He got em to believe that they would not die, but become like Gods themselves... And they fell for it... And Mammon is another subject entirely... Satan has not Created anything... As you point out, all he can do is mimic... Also, Satan is not the origin of demons (evil spirits)... The fallen who took wives from all whom they chose are the origin of demons... Satan is not currently among that lot...
Those fallen who had kids... They are the origin of evil spirits... They are currently locked up... And a harsh harsh sentence was pronounced on them... And they were relatively few in number compared to the rest who are still free to cause havok on this ol cursed world... Satan is among the lot who are still free, and the chief of those who are still free....
----------------------------------------------
Anyway, thanks for your input... I Love peeps who dig deeply into these topics because they love God... And you clearly love God and it shows!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Alden Wilson Tozer lays it out plain in the beginning of this sermon about interpreters 😃 Kind of along the same lines, somewhat similar to, what I was saying in a portion of what I wrote... Thanks for this post @Powder 💜 , Love listening to these on fire ol time preachers... http://ia800206.us.archive.org/1/items/SERMONINDEX_SID9602/SID9602.mp3

faith in the Lord and in his Word does not open a way for us where everything is easy and calm; it does not rescue us from life’s storms. Faith gives us the assurance of a Presence, the presence of Jesus who encourages us to overcome the existential tempests, the certainty of a hand that grabs hold of us so as to help us face the difficulties, pointing the way for us even when it is dark. Faith, in short, is not an escape route from life’s problems, but it sustains the journey and gives it meaning.

So as you can plainly see, there will be those who oppose the coming Assyrian... There will be those who oppose the Anti-Christ... And these who oppose that Assyrian, will lay waste to the land of Assyria, and Babylon... So if ya dont know where Assyria is, Just think of a large swath of land through Turkey, Those little nations south of Russia and North of Turkey, (All of the Stans, and Armenia and whatnot) and Syria too... And then broaden that to include the entrances to the Land of Babylon... It's a HUGE area... And when ya look at the pic I share, think about Syene and the Prophecies for Egypt 😉
Jesus Christ plainly told us where the seat of satan is... I'll give ya one clue... The area it is in is in the Pic above... And guess what... It aint Moscow... Or Rome... -----------------------------
You can actually do Studies on the land of Assyria, and the Assyrians, that will lead you to in depth understandings of stories we tell our kids... Like The Story of Jonah... There is so much there that it is mind boggling... Of course without Prayer and Guidance, you will just end up with a mis-understanding that is flawed at best... Kind of like those peeps who use there flawed logic to make TV specials that look for the Garden of Eden here on Earth... They ask questions like "Where was it"... As if it is gone now or something... They have no real understanding of what is written, or spiritual matters in general to be honest... They mis-read just about everything (or at least a lot) and present flawed arguments from a flawed logic... So be careful out there... And here too... Many are the ravenous wolves who seek to kill steal and destroy... And many are dressed as sheep, and some few are dressed as shepherds, and some are dressed as sheep dogs... But not only be careful of those, but those of us who have incomplete understandings too... Innocent of ill will many of us seekers may be, but many is the time that I have realized that what I once believed was not complete, and sometimes even completely wrong and in error... So keep your eyes peeled and those Bibles open when discussing such matters... And do not fear to be wrong... How can we be corrected OR shown the truth OR come to a deeper level of understanding, if we are not brave enough to throw our thoughts out there to begin with???
I was feeling extra blessed tonight, so I pulled up one of my fav. Videos...I don’t know if it’s the words, the song, or the setting, but I li hope u can enjoy too (it could be the topic 😍) https://youtu.be/aZTAMYiAOdc
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.
In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
My mic will not unmute, so I will post a written prayer...Heavenly Father, please grant all who are seeking You for guidance, strength, courage, wisdom and whatever else is needed in this journey we are on in trying to expose the darkness, an abudance of Your TRUTH, GRACE, DISCERNMENT, HUMILITY, MEEKNESS, FAITH, HOPE, ENDURANCE, and anything else that is needed to do Your work and complete Your will, For Such a Time as This.
@Nightring keep it coming! Am loving it! Wisdom, discernment, and Holy Spirit all are needed to peel back the layers of the Word. ❤
