So we discussed Lucifer's five I will statements here in our text. And so in verses 13 and 14, I'm not gonna go over all five of them again, as I mentioned, God responded with seven I wills and He's equal 28. But His doom is then summed up in those last two verses we read, or last three verses. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit, Well, for a thousand years he's in a bottomless pit. And then verse 16, they that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee and consider thee saying, is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms? They always say you should never meet your heroes. And I've experienced that myself because there's just, you know, I have... kind of a name with some people in our King James Bible believing circles and people see me on YouTube and hear me on the radio and they've seen the documentary that's been viewed by a couple million people and so they'll come here and I think they expect me to be as tall as Charlie and you know and just a presence about me that they kind of, then they see me. And I'm always warning everybody, I'm just a short, bald, pudgy little guy. My wife loves me the way I am. And I like teaching the Bible. There's nothing else to me. And so, you know, anybody that shows up expecting more, I certainly don't advertise more. What you see is what you get. And, you know, if you get here and you see me and I look different, then adjust your set when you go back home, amen? But that's just kind of a taste. How many of you have met somebody that you thought they were a giant among people, and then when you met them... And I'll say this, I learned early on because I had met some people that were Colonel Irwin of the NASA program, and he was just not, he wasn't a very big guy, and he was just real down-to-earth everything. It just wasn't what I was expecting. And I met this guy and that guy, and I met some of the Cincinnati Reds a few times when I went to games, and, you know, they were just kind of goofy guys who could play ball, you know? And then I got older, so then when I got saved, I was kind of expecting it. So then I met Peter Ruckman. And I think he's about five, six. He wasn't a big guy, and it wasn't anything intimidating about him. And everybody I know who knows him says he's one of the friendliest guys you'd ever meet. He's always bending over backwards, helping people out and everything. But he's got a reputation because he likes to tear up the devil. People think he's mean, but he just likes to tear up the devil. He doesn't like to tear up the... He's against the bad side, and he's for the good side, amen? And then I met Dave Hunt. How many of you know Dave Hunt, the author? And Chuck Missler. You ever met Chuck Missler? They were, like I said, they weren't anything extraordinary, but they were really nice guys. They'd talk to you. They didn't teach and then run off to their dressing room where they had dark chocolate waiting on them. They were just down to earth guys. But see, Satan, that's a game he plays. Satan is not anything unless you let him be anything. He can only affect you and as much as you open yourself up to him, except for your loved ones. Your loved ones can open themselves up and then affect you that way. But even then, it's a side effect, it's not a direct attack. attacked on your soul, so to speak. So, the only question left regarding Satan being brought down to hell is timing. How many of you are ready for Satan to be cast in the bottomless pit, amen? Well, that happens after the rapture. How many of you are ready for the rapture? Okay, I see that hand. So we begin with 2022 AD. That would be the year that this is being taught. 2 Peter 5, 8, 9 tells us what Satan's doing right now. Let's see if it's 1 Peter. Maybe it was the wrong typo. It is. It's 1 Peter 5, 8, 9. Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. So I think it's kind of implied there that, you know, as I said, he can only devour those who he may. See what I'm saying? Satan is presently at war with the saints. By the way, he's not bound. How many of you heard of amillennialism? The Bible teaches there's gonna be a millennial reign, Jesus is gonna rule on the earth, it's gonna be a thousand years, and all these really smart guys in seminary say, that's not to be taken literally. And so they symbolize it, spiritualize it or whatever. And they actually teach, not all of them teach this, by the way, because there's always, once you go away from sound doctrine, you can end up anywhere. But a lot of these guys actually teach that Satan is bound right now. and that the church or the thousand years in the Bible is symbolic of the church age. I couldn't be a Christian if that were true. To think that Satan is bound and this is the millennium that I read about in the Bible, it'd be a load of nonsense. That's why I've read some of these books in the past. It makes you just want to take the gun, take the book and start shooting it. I mean, it's just crazy. But stick to what the Bible says and ignore all these teachers. The absurdity of this view may seem unrealistic, but many Catholic, Reformed, and cults teach it. It's an amazing thing. All right, Jill, Revelation 12, 7 and 8. I'm sure this one's correct. And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not. Neither was their place found anymore in heaven. So what Satan's doing today, he will continue to do until that happens. Satan's demise begins with his defeat by Michael the archangel, and he'll be cast to the earth, and then it really gets ugly. Even then, though, Satan's rage only intensifies. Like I said, it's insanity. But you read in Revelation 20, 12, "...therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea, for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time." It's insanity. But when he does get cast down to the earth, because right now he's the prince of power, the heir, and he can roar and devour who he may, but he also can travel back and forth and around wherever he wants to do for whatever reason. But this happens. I believe he still has access like we read in Job 1. He doesn't have access to heaven proper, but he has access to an immediate audience with God. At this point, he's cast to the earth, and it's going to be bad stuff. John, you're there, Revelation 13, 1-4. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having heads, and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was likened to a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power, and his seat and great authority. I believe it's devil possession. Just like, you remember Judas Iscariot is called the son of perdition? The Antichrist is called the son of perdition? Judas Iscariot, the devil went into him, not a devil, the devil went into him, and I believe that's what's being described right here, the Antichrist will be possessed. I believe it'll happen as a result of that wound to the head. All right, verse three. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshiped the dragon. Oh, wait a minute. They worship who? The dragon. Who is that? Satan. That's Satan. The whole world is going to be given over to Satan worship. Yep. Read that again, verse four. And they worshiped the dragon, which gave power unto the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, who was like unto the beast? Who was able to make war with him? Ain't that something? So who's the beast? The beast of the Antichrist. Yep. Which as far as we can tell is an actual human being that Satan will possess. Yes. Satan's greatest point of earthly power takes place even as he's being defeated. He's cast down to the earth, but as far as this planet is concerned, there will never be a time when Satan is more powerful than right before he is defeated. but it's as he's being defeated, actually. I mean, he doesn't realize it, but all those, you know, the seven seals and vials and trumpets, the three woes, you know, all that is all in the process of defeating Satan and the beast. And at that point is when Satan has his most power he's had since Isaiah 14. As we said in the beginning, unbelief is a form of insanity. I mean, we've seen it. I mean, remember Jim Jones? I mean, if you don't remember it, watch the documentary. Jim Jones knew it was up. Time's up. But instead of letting everybody just go home and him face the consequences, he kills. How many thousands was it? Was it 800? It's been two or three years since I watched that documentary that I'm trying to think who put it out. It's very well done. It actually has his son interviewed in this documentary. And just insanity. Kids, mostly women and children, could have just let him go and done himself in, but instead he had to take all those people with him. More than 900. It included a congressman named Ryan, wasn't it? Was it a Ryan? Does it say there? Okay, there's a congressman, a news reporter, wasn't it? Trying to get on an airplane to get out. Yeah. That's just one example. I mean, you know, you go on and on with the examples. Alright, Janie, are you there at Revelation 20 verses 1 through 3? Read that if you would. Okay. And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil, and Satan and bound him a thousand years, and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years should be fulfilled. And after that, he must be loosed a little season. So Satan will be defeated at the second coming of Jesus Christ. That's what this is explaining. and he will be bound for a thousand years. And look how verse three ends. After that, he must be loosed a little season. So people are always troubled by that. It seems like, and they ask me, why? Why does he cast him into the bottomless pit and then let him out? And I don't think this is Gregology. This is how I read it. God's gonna give man a thousand years where he rules and reigns, perfect peace, No more wars. You know, all the dopeheads for 50 years have been singing, all I am saying is give peace a chance. Well, Jesus is going to give peace a thousand years of chance. And you know what those hippies are going to do? They're going to rebel because they want free love. Light has come into the world and men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil. They're going to miss their sex, drugs, and rock and roll. and they're gonna rebel. After 1,000 years of seeing what peace is like, and then you're still gonna rebel. So note, he remains in the bottomless pit until the end of the millennial kingdom reign. For 1,000 years we're gonna live. Now you and I, if you're saved here tonight, those online or wherever you're listening, if you're saved, then you are going to rule and reign in a glorified body for 1,000 years. and we will be on an earth that'll be totally different than what we're on now because we don't have that kind of hierarchy. There aren't any glorified beings around right now, bodily, physically visible. There are angels and there are devils. In the millennium, there'll be no devils and we will be ruling and reigning in glorified bodies over mortal beings. Now, you say, that's crazy. Well, So is nothing exploding and giving us the entire universe and then, you know, so forth and so on that you're taught in the public school. So don't talk to me about what's crazy. The two words in response to any of those kind of objections are, but God. That answers it. And God has decided this is how it's gonna work out. So what happens then after the thousand years? We have Mary at Revelation chapter 20, verses seven and eight. And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. Now, I first have to say that just because Gog and Magog is here doesn't mean there's not another war with Gog and Magog. Just study history, you'll find Germany, Tries to defeat the entire world. World War I, they lose. 20 some years later, Germany tries to defeat the entire world. World War II, not the same war. Same country, different wars. There's going to be two Gog Magog wars, scripturally speaking. Could be more than that, we don't know. But right now that's why everybody's on Gog Magog, what's going on in Ukraine with Russia. We don't have time to get into all that. Satan is finally defeated after one last war at the end of the thousand year reign. of Christ. He's let loose. It says he goes out to deceive the nations. All those people who have been going along are going to then join his effort to overthrow King Jesus. Isn't that wild? So again, why? Well, after demonstrating a world system without Satan, God still gives a free will choice to men to choose to rebel. One last time. And it is, it's just so crazy, but that's, Satan's crazy, you know, with unbelief and hatred of God. People, I deal with people, and there's been people I've talked to, and I know some of you probably have too, you can see it in their eyes, they just hate Jesus Christ, and they hate you, but it's not really you they hate. They don't realize it, but it's Jesus in you that they hate. And, That's what's going on there. So we're back to Brother John in the back there, Revelation chapter 20, verses 9 and 10. And they went up on the breadth of the earth and passed the camp of the saints about in the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are. and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever. Amen. That's going to be the end. That's where they end up. Satan's end is in the lake of fire for all of eternity. And as we mentioned before, Satan is never called something like king of hell. The Bible never puts Satan on a throne in hell ruling over the damned or anything like that. So stick to your Bible and you'll avoid all kinds of nonsense. Let's read one last place up here in the front with Olivia. and she's gonna close our study out in Revelation 22 verses 15 and 16. And as you kind of say, that is a great ending, but I'm glad that's not where it ends. And we got a lot more than this, but read verses 15, 16 for us there, Olivia. For without our dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie, Jesus hath sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. Now, I told Cammie I would point this out, that when he says dogs, they're talking about unsaved Gentiles. Not your shih tzus and your German shepherds and Labradors and all that. But unsaved Gentiles, dogs. Remember the lady made that comment to Jesus. Jesus said it's not fit to give what's meat for the children to the dogs. And Jesus says, well, even the dogs live from the crumbs from the master's table. That's what that whole use of the word dogs is. Sorcerers. That's not the Las Vegas magic shows. Sorcerers involves witchcraft. I don't know if you ever studied witchcraft, but witchcraft involves making a potions. That's a real thing. What that did was it put people in an altered state of mind where they would be opened up to the spirit world. And so we've repeatedly reminded you that word sorcerers is a translation of the Greek term pharmakia. And so whether, amen, amen. It doesn't matter whether it comes from your doctor writing the prescription or from, you know, some guy on the street that you bought it from. If it's putting you into an altered state of mind, it is opening you up to the spirit world. And so there's street pharmacia and then there's pharmacy pharmacia. And that's what the whole point of those potions were, so they would see things and have experiences with spirits and that kind of thing. murderers, that includes abortionists, euthanasia, all these people killing all the old people with COVID in the nursing homes, that kind of thing, as well as those just shooting and killing people and stabbing people and poisoning people, all that, idolaters, whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. That's what's going to make heaven heaven. Eternity commences with no more Satan, sin, or sinners. You and I aren't going to be... Now, right now I'm a sinner saved by grace. And it cracks me up when I hear some of these preachers try to talk people out of believing that. They say, oh, you're not a sinner anymore. Yes, I am. And I have to confess my sin constantly. so that I can be cleansed from all unrighteousness by the blood that's already applied to my account eternally, but in a practical daily sense, I need that refreshing. I need to be forgiven constantly, but not when this happens. And that's hard for me to fathom, but I'm not gonna sin anymore. I'm not even gonna struggle with it. I'm not even gonna be tempted by it. and I'm not going to have to worry about what this guy's doing or that lady's doing or nobody around me is going to want to sin and they're not going to sin. I can't imagine it. It sounds like heaven. I've sat and just thought about what a world would be like with no sin and I really can't imagine it. Does that begin for us after the millennium? No, immediately upon the rapture, you receive your glorified body and you're... We are not sinners anymore. Now, we... There is one little... It's good you brought that because during the millennium, people are still mortal and they still sin. Yeah. Yeah, so as far as we are concerned, sin is done as soon as we rapture. Or if you die, you go to be with the Lord and from that point on. But while we rule and reign with Christ, it is to put down any sin that goes on. And at this point is when now we live where there's no sin anywhere, anytime, and we live in a completely pure... Let me do one thing and then we'll come back to you. This, of course, is the whole purpose for Jesus dying for our sins. He has died not just to forgive you, He wants to take you and purge you and make you like Him. He who knew no sin. and that's what is said in Daniel 9 24 70 weeks remember the 70 weeks prophecy people kind of lose sight of this by doing all the calculations and everything 70 weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city to finish the transgression and to make an end of sins and to make reconciliation for what iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy. All God's people say amen. Amen. All right, in our next study we're going to look at fallen angels and devils. They are not the same thing. When the battle's over, we shall wear a crown. Yes, we shall wear a crown. Yes, we shall wear a crown. When the battle's over, we shall wear a crown in the new Jerusalem. Wear a crown, wear a crown, wear a crown, wear a bright and shining crown. And when the battle's over, we shall wear a crown in the new Jerusalem.
