ABORTING & CHANGING OF MIND - PART I

 

Aborting your decision and/or changing your mind at the last few seconds of your mission can make all of the difference that needs to be made and it can mean and pertain to a lifetime of forgiveness. Aborting your decision to follow that which is evil, but instead follow that which is good.

 

1 Thes. 5:15  See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

 

1 Thes. 5:21  Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

 

1 Peter 3:13  And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

 

3 John 1:11  Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

 

Mark 10:17  And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? [18] And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. [19] Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. [20] And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. [21] Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

 

Mark 10:22   And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. [23] And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! [24] And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

 

Therefore, according to Jesus, He considered His disciples Children because of their lack of understanding or lack of ability to understand what He (Jesus) had said.

 

Many people

 

Do NOT know that which is good and Jesus Said “Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

 

Many people (adults) do NOT know or understand and are like the Lord’s disciples (adults being approximately 20-30 years of age) they did act, think and respond like Children, even though they have been told repeatedly over and over again. However, Jesus did NOT classify Himself as being good. Also, Jesus did NOT specify or declare Himself as God The Father. Otherwise He (Jesus) would have included Himself WITH or AS God The Father, which, by the way, would have removed or taken The Heavenly Father’s Deity (honor, respect) away from Him and would have shown dishonor and disrespect unto The Heavenly Father.

 

Also please remember, Almighty God nor Jesus The Son of God can or will lie, should either do so, it would totally place them UNDER the TOTAL authority of Satan the devil. This is one of the reason that Satan does everything that he can to deceive and if he can, convince anyone that he can that he is more powerful then Almighty God for this in one of Satan’s goals.

 

*******Remember, that very thing is a continual threat of Lucifer, Satan the devil. Isaiah 14:12   How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! [13] For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: [14] I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

 

[How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer]

 

The original fall of Lucifer (Isaiah 14:12-14), as well as his final casting down to hell itself (Isaiah 14:15), which is the end of all rebels against God, is the subject of this passage.

 

Six Proofs Satan Is the Subject of Isaiah 14:12-15

 

1. Lucifer is the name of Satan, as is agreed by Bible scholars (Isaiah 14:12). Lucifer (Hebrew: heylel (HSN-1966)), means brightness; morning star. From halal (HSN-1984), to shine.

2. Satan is the only one in Scripture referred to as having actually fallen from heaven (Isaiah 14:12; Luke 10:18), and the only personal ruler that is yet to be cast out of heaven with fallen angels (Rev. 12:7-12).  This identifies him as Lucifer of this passage.

3. Christ is the only person who is called a morning star (Isaiah 14:12). Angels are so-called in Job 38:7, and Christ is called the bright and morning star in Rev. 22:16; so whoever Lucifer is he could not be a mere man but a heavenly being. Lucifer is called the son of the morning (Isaiah 14:12)

4. Lucifer actually ascended to heaven in an effort to exalt his throne above the stars of God and to become like the Most High. This no earthly man could do, for he would have no access to heaven apart from God (Isaiah 14:13-14).

5. This whole passage has no literal meaning if interpreted in connection with a man, but in the light of other plain passages about the fall of Satan it clearly refers to him (Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:11-17; Matthew 25:41; Luke 10:18; Ephes. 6:10-18; Rev. 12:7-12).

6. This is another example of the law of double reference—two persons, one natural and the other supernatural—being involved in the same passage, as when Christ said to Peter, "Get thee behind Me, Satan" (Matthew 16:23), and the Lord said, "I will put enmity between thee and the woman" (Genesis 3:15).  In this chapter we have the earthly king of Babylon addressed (Isaiah 14:4-11,16-20) and the invisible king of Babylon also referred to in Isaiah 14:12-15.  See The Law of Double Reference.

 

[fallen from heaven]

 

Nine Facts about Lucifer

 

1. He was cast out of heaven (Isaiah 14:12; Luke 10:18). If he fell from heaven, he must have been cast out; and if cast out, he must have ascended to heaven in the first place to be cast out. There was some reason for him going there and not staying there after he got there. It must have been a forced and physical casting out, a departure because of superior power and forces (Rev. 12:7-12).

 

2. He was cut down (Hebrew: gada€ (HSN-1438) to fell a tree; destroy anything; cut down; cut off; cut asunder) to the ground (Isaiah 14:12; Luke 10:18). This was the reason he did not remain in heaven. He was forcibly intercepted in his invasion of heaven, and was defeated and cast down as a tree being felled by the woodsman (Isaiah 9:10; Isaiah 15:2; Isaiah 22:25; Isaiah 45:2). He was cut down to the ground; he found himself back on the earth he ascended from and which he ruled before his fall and invasion of heaven.

 

3. He had already weakened the nations (Isaiah 14:12; Ezekiel 28:11-17). This means that before his invasion of heaven he had weakened the nations of earth over whom he had ruled since the creation of the earth and its inhabitants. It was in a period before Adam's time.

 

Seven Proofs that Lucifer Ruled People:

 

(1) They are called nations here. Hebrew: gowy (HSN-1471), translated Gentiles, nation, nations, people, and heathen hundreds of times, and never translated angels. The nations he ruled over and weakened then must have been made up of men.

(2) God told Adam to replenish the earth, not replenish heaven or some other planet (Genesis 1:28). He told Noah to do the same thing 1656 years later (Genesis 9:1). According to this, it is as reasonable to believe that the earth was plenished before Adam's time as it is to accept that it was plenished before Noah's.
Futhermore, the command to replenish it meant to do so with their own kind—men. This indicates the kind of inhabitants which the earth had in the first place. Adam and his race can only reproduce their own kind (Genesis 1:11; Genesis 6:20).

(3) Jeremiah confirms the fact that men, not angels, inhabited the earth before Adam, for in his description of the chaotic earth he says there was no man. In the time before Adam and chaos, men lived in cities and in fruitful places on earth like men of today, so they must have eaten food and been mortal as we are today. See Jeremiah 4:23-26.

(4) Ezekiel also confirms the fact that they were people (Hebrew: gowy (HSN-1471), as in point 1, above), and were ruled by kings. Both terms are used in Ezekiel 28:11-19. 

(5) Peter indicates that the pre-Adamites were mortal beings, for they could be drowned.  "The world (Greek: kosmos (GSN-2889), social order) that then was (before Adam's day), being overflowed with water, perished:  but the heavens and the earth, which are now (since the six days' work of Genesis 1:3-2:25) ... are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men ...  (we) look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness" (see 2 Peter 3:5-13).

(6) Moses confirms this further by revealing the fact of the flood which caused the pre-Adamites to be drowned (Genesis 1:2).

(7) No statement regarding angels or spirit beings of any kind living on the earth can be found in Scripture. Angels of Satan are spoken of as stars of heaven, indicating that they were originally created to be God's subjects in heaven and not Lucifer's on earth (Rev. 12:1-12).

 

The only statement in Scripture that causes some to stumble over the idea of pre-Adamites being men is 1 Cor. 15:45 where it speaks of the first man Adam; but this could be understood by realizing that he was created the first of this present race of men. It should never be taken to mean that he was the first being who ever lived on the earth, for others, even nations made up of men—mortal beings capable of being drowned in a flood - operated in a social system before Adam and the flood of Lucifer's time.

 

4. "I will ascend into heaven" (Isaiah 14:13). This is one of the things Lucifer said in his heart when planning to overthrow God in heaven. According to Col. 1:15-18, thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers, visible and invisible, were created in heaven and in earth, which shows the establishment of kingdoms in many places in the heavens, on other planets, besides the earth. Lucifer was given dominion of the earth and worked deceitfully to get other angelic rulers to follow him in his war against God. Not only did Lucifer's own earthly, mortal subjects rebel, but over one-third of God's angels, for there are that many still with Satan to be finally cast down to earth in the future tribulation (Rev. 12:1-12). The place of mobilization was the earth. How long they rebelled before the actual break with God is not known.

5. "I will exalt my throne above the stars of God" (Isaiah 14:13). This statement not only proves that Lucifer's plan was to invade heaven, dethrone God, and become the supreme ruler of all creations, but it shows that he already was a ruler. If he had a throne he had a kingdom and he himself was a king; he had subjects to rule over and there must have been a location for the kingdom. Who were his subjects? The pre-Adamite men of point 3, above; and his kingdom was located on the earth, as seen in point 7, below.

6. "I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north" (Isaiah 14:13). Lucifer was not satisfied to sit on his own throne, but wanted to sit also on God's throne to be worshiped as the Supreme Sovereign of all creations. This gives the location or direction of heaven—north of the earth—and reveals the fact that there is a congregation of saints or holy beings who gather to worship God. In Psalm 75:6-7 it speaks of promotion coming, not from the east, west, or south, but from the Lord; so, according to this also, the Lord and heaven are in the north.

7. "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds" (Isaiah 14:14). This settles the matter regarding the location of Lucifer's kingdom before Adam's time.

 

Three Things Locate It:

 

(1) It had to be under the planet heaven, or Lucifer could not have determined in his heart to ascend into heaven (Isaiah 14:13).

(2) It had to be under the stars of God or he could not have determined to exalt his throne above them (Isaiah 14:13).

(3) It had to be under the clouds that surround the earth or he could not have determined to ascend above them (Isaiah 14:14). Though a kingdom could be located many places under heaven and under the stars, it could not be under the clouds of earth without being on earth. This should convince us that Lucifer had an earthly kingdom, not a heavenly one, and that his subjects were earthly, not heavenly. Furthermore, since angels and other spirit beings are not constituted like the beings created to live on the earth, we must conclude that they were not the earthly subjects of Lucifer's kingdom. The fact that angels of Satan are now confined to the heavenlies surrounding the earth is proof that they no longer are
fit to reside in heaven; and the fact that they will be confined eternally in a hell beneath the earth (Matthew 25:41) proves that they sinned in connection with the earth and Lucifer's program of invading heaven from the earth.

 

8. "I will be like the Most High" (Isaiah 14:14).  This was the central idea around which revolved all the sinful and rebellious activities of Lucifer. It is a noble trait to desire to be like God; but to transgress the laws of God and become devoted to a life of self-gratification at the expense of the highest good of all—this is the greatest of all crimes among free moral agents.  Lucifer wanted to become like God at the expense of God and everyone else; this was extreme sinfulness against God and nature.  It was by this appeal to be like God that Eve was deceived (Genesis 3:5).  Christ came to imitate God among men, and to set an example of true God-likeness, that of being like God in consecration to the good of all—not for the good of self-gratification.  Thus he repeatedly declared the true nature of consecration and godliness.  See Christ's Union with the Father.

9. "Thou shalt be brought down to hell." This will be the final doom of Satan and all who follow him (Isaiah 14:15; Matthew 25:21; Rev. 20:10).

 

[which didst weaken the nations]

 

Lucifer had already weakened the nations over whom he ruled before his actual invasion of heaven.  His method was slander and turning them away from God in the heart; after that it was easy to lead them into open rebellion (Ezekiel 28:11-19).

 

When Lucifer heard and saw

 

The POWER of the tongue which was/is in the Voice of Almighty God The Holy Creator, Lucifer plainly, and clearly had decided to try using his to persuade and convince the world to follow him and Satan is a liar and the father of them.

 

John 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.

 

[devil]

 

Greek: diabolos (GSN-1228), adversary, slanderer, accuser. Used of Satan here and in John 13:2; Matthew 4:1-11; Matthew 13:39; Matthew 25:41; Luke 4:1-13; Luke 8:12; Acts 10:38; Acts 13:10; Ephes. 4:27; Ephes. 6:11; 1 Tim. 3:6-7; 2 Tim. 2:26; Hebrews 2:14; James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:8; 1 John 3:8-10; Jude 1:9; Rev. 2:10; Rev. 12:9,12; Rev. 20:2,10.  It is used of men who were slanderers and accusers in John 6:70; 1 Tim. 3:11; 2 Tim. 3:3; Titus 2:3.

 

[lusts]

 

Greek: epithumia (GSN-1939), desire, crave, long for, lust. Satanic lusts are like those of men but much stronger because of being agitated by spirit forces.  Fallen angels and men are capable of misusing their creative faculties in deeper and deeper degrees of sin and rebellion as time goes by.

 

[murderer]

 

Because death came through him.  This refers not to Cain's murder, but to the death of the whole race by sin (Genesis 2:17; Romans 5:12-21; Hebrews 2:14).

 

[from the beginning]

 

Greek: ap� (GSN-575) arches (GSN-746), from the beginning.  Used 22 times, for the beginning of:

 

1. The creation (Matthew 19:4, 8; Matthew 24:21; Mark 10:6; Mark 13:19; 2 Peter 3:4)

2. The human race (John 8:44; 1 John 3:8)

3. The Lord's ministry (Luke 1:2; John 15:27; 1 John 1:1)

4. Paul's public life (Acts 26:4)

5. Your hearing (1 John 2:7, 13, 14, 24; 1 John 3:11; 2 John 1:5-6)

6. God's choice (2 Thes. 2:13)

 

[abode not in the truth]

 

He walked in truth for a time until he decided to rebel against God and this was before he "abode not" or rebelled against truth (Ezekiel 28:11-17; Isaiah 14:12-14).  This was before Adam's day for he was already a fallen creature when he came into Adam's Eden (Genesis 3).  The rebellion caused the flood of Lucifer (Genesis 1:2; Jeremiah 4:23-26; 2 Peter 3:5-8).

 

[no truth in him]

 

He chose to reject all truth in his period of probation as the Jews were doing here (John 8:39-47).  When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own falsehood, for he is a liar and the father of lies and liars.

 

[speaketh a lie]

 

To teach that this refers to the future Antichrist is out of harmony with the passage as well as all scriptures on the subject.  This is talking about speaking a lie, not speaking into existence some human Antichrist.

 

Lucifer Saw “The Power” of Almighty God,

“The Power of Creation by Speaking!”

(Words are Spirit, proven)

 

And Confirmed Scripturally by Jesus Christ The Son of Almighty God (John 6:63)!

 

John 6:63  It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

 

John 7:16  Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

 

John 14:24  He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

 

Satan, Lucifer tries to imitate God Almighty

by deceiving people!

 

The Power of Almighty God that Lucifer observed or witnessed was Almighty God’s Power of Creation by speaking into being that which be not as though it were/is and it being an absolute fact, physical or Spirit existence as in Romans 4:17  (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

 

John 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

 

Remember we are referring to Lucifer

Attempting to take the place

of God!

(Sit himself up to be in the place of God as God Almighty.)

 

And Lucifer deceiving the people by Lucifer’s giving the appearance of taking the place as God,

imitating God to further confuse the people, because people in general do NOT KNOW God!

 

Everything that Almighty God has, Lucifer the devil has an imitation, with many exceptions, such as Lucifer cannot create life, make alive or praise The Heavenly Father or speak Truth or apply the Blood of Jesus Christ to a sinners soul.

 

Lucifer cannot and will not, mention or say aloud (audibly) or whisper the statement, “The Blood of Jesus Christ.” (James 2:19) Lucifer the devil cannot worship The Heavenly Father in Spirit and in TRUTH.

 

Because Almighty God spoke the world into existence,

 

Lucifer also tries to do the same pertaining to things that are in the world, but Lucifer’s work is always a deception, lies and imitations (1^st John 2:14)!

 

John 4:23   But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. [24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Almighty God “is” The Holy Creator!

 

Genesis 1:1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. [3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. [4] And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. [5] And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. [6] And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

 

Lucifer was in Heaven

and at that time

 

He was righteous, holy and good, giving Praise and Glory and directing all of Heaven’s Host of Angels to give praise and glory to the Heavenly Father. Therefore, Lucifer had good things in Heaven and had tasted of the Heavenly gift and that The Lord was/is Gracious.

 

Hebrews 6:4  For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

 

Lucifer, Satan that old devil

 

Became extremely jealous, self centered, haughty and highminded of the praise which was being given unto Almighty God and said, Isaiah 14:13  For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: [14]  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

 

It is because Lucifer

 

Hast said in his heart, “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north, I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like The Most High” that He cannot receive forgiveness or anyone else that have once been enlightened and have tasted of the Heavenly gift according to Hebrews 6:4.

 

Further, because Lucifer has tasted of the Heavenly Gift of being in Heaven and giving praise and directing Heavenly Host of angels to praise The Heavenly Father showing by his attitude and further statement (according to Isaiah 14:13-14) that he has further blasphemed the Holy Ghost according to Matthew 12:31-32.

 

Matthew 12:31  Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. [32] And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

 

God spared NOT angels which followed Satan

 

2 Peter 2:4  For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

 

[For if God spared not the angels ...]

 

Three examples of judgment (cp. Jude 1:5-7):

 

1.Fallen angels (2 Peter 2:4). They rebelled with Lucifer when he ruled the earth and when he invaded heaven to dethrone God in the pre-Adamite period (Genesis 1:1-2; Isaiah 14:12-14; Ezekiel 28:11-17; Jeremiah 4:23-26; 2 Peter 3:5-8; Matthew 13:35, notice Luke 10:18)

2.The antedeluvians (2 Peter 2:5; Genesis 6-8)

3.Sodom and Gomorrah (2 Peter 2:6; Genesis 19)

 

[sinned]

 

It does not say here what sin they committed causing them to be confined to hell, but Jude 1:6-7 and Genesis 6:1-4 tell us that they committed fornication, living with the daughters of men contrary to their own nature.  These angels committed sin beyond that of falling with Lucifer, and they are now confined to hell for that sin.  If all the fallen angels had committed such sin they all would now be bound in hell and none loose with the devil to fight against God in the middle of Daniel's 70th week, 3 1/2 years before the second coming of Christ (Rev. 12:7-17).  It would not be just to bind some and not all if the same sin was committed by all.  Thus it is clear that there are two classes of fallen angels—those now bound and those now loose with Satan.

 

[hell]

 

 Greek: tartaroo (GSN-5020), from tartaros (Latin, tartarus), a dark abyss; a place of punishment. 

Eight Facts About Tartarus:

 

1.A prison for angels (2 Peter 2:4)

2.Located under the earth (2 Peter 2:4)

3.A place of confinement for angels until the judgment (2 Peter 2:4; Rev. 20:11-15; Jude 1:6)

4.A place visited by Christ when He went to hell (Psalm 16:10; 1 Peter 3:19)

5.A place of darkness (Jude 1:6-7)

6.A place of eternal fire (Jude 1:7)

7.A place of vengeance (Jude 1:7)

8.The word is used only here, but in Greek writings tartarus was held to be a place in the earth lower than hades where the Titans, the primeval deities or the giants who were supposed to be the first children of the earth and even older than the Greek gods, were cast when they lost their war with Zeus

 

[chains]

 

Greek: seira (GSN-4577), a cord; rope; chain.  Only here.  It could mean literal chains, for the Greek in Jude 1:6 is desmos (GSN-1199), a band; fetter; halter; imprisonment.  Translated "band" (Luke 8:29; Acts 16:26; Acts 22:30); "string" (Mark 7:35); "bond" (Luke 13:16; Acts 20:23; Acts 23:29; Phil. 1:7,13,14,16; Col. 4:18; 2 Tim. 2:9; Philemon 10,13; Hebrews 10:34; Hebrews 11:36); and "chain" (Jude 1:6).  It is used only twice of being bound by Satan with an infirmity (Mark 7:35; Luke 13:16).  That angels can be bound by literal chains and confined to prisons, see Rev. 9:1-2,14; Rev. 20:1-3,7,10.

 

[of darkness]

 

Jude 1:6 reads, under darkness.  The Greek: zophos (GSN-2217) is used here; 2 Peter 2:17; Jude 1:6,13.  It is literal, and effects their mind (spirit).

 

Again, God spared NOT angels which followed Satan

 

2 Peter 2:5   And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; [6] And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; [7] And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: [8] (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) [9] The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

 

It all reminds me of people in the world today!

 

2 Peter 2:11   Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. [12] But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; [13] And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the daytime. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; [14] Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

 

2 Peter 2:15   Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; [16] But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

 

Almighty God Jehovah will still and still is

casting the un-godly into hell!

 

Where do you stand before God?

 

Are you a follower of Lucifer, Baal, Beelzebub, Mithra, Apostikane, Satan that old dragon, The sun and moon god or are you a follower of The Lord Jesus The Christ (The Anointed One, Yeshua The True Holy Righteous One), The Only Begotten Son of Almighty God?

 

Have you been born again and this time in the Spirit of Almighty God (John 4:24)?

 

Has your name been written down in the Lambs book of Life?

Are your sins covered by the Blood of Jesus Christ The Son of Almighty God Jehovah?  

Your Physical body may have been washed by man, but has your Soul and Spirit been made clean before God because it has been washed by the Blood of the Lamb of God?

 

Don’t you think that it is time that you made that decision

before you take your last breath?

 

Hebrews 9:27  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

 

[appointed unto men once to die]

 

Man's Inescapable Appointment

 

Greek: apokeimai (GSN-606), be laid up in store; be in reserve.  Translated appoint (Hebrews 9:27); be laid up (Luke 19:20; Col. 1:5; 2 Tim. 4:8).  It is appointed or laid up by divine decree: "Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return" (Genesis 3:19).  This law of death will hold firm for all men until the time of the rapture when the living who are to be translated will not see death (1 Cor. 15:51-58; 1 Thes. 4:13-16; Phil. 3:21).  All who live at the end of the Millennium and who do not rebel against God will be permitted to live on the new earth forever without dying.  Death will be destroyed and all things will be restored as they were before Adam sinned (Rev. 20:7-10; Rev. 21:1-22; 1 Cor. 15:24-28).

 

[after this the judgment]

 

Death Ends Probation

 

After death the judgment, not a second chance to live on earth and be saved.  Death ends all probation for the one who dies.  If he is righteous at death, his soul and spirit go to heaven awaiting the resurrection of the body (2 Cor. 5:8; Phil. 1:21-24; Hebrews 12:23; Rev. 6:9-11).  If he is wicked at death his soul and spirit go to hell to await the resurrection of his body (Luke 16:19-31; Isaiah 14:9; Rev. 20:11-15).  There is no such thing as purgatory or a second chance to be on probation in the Millennium or any other time.  Neither is there a reincarnation or a transmigration from body to body.

 

Jude 1:6  And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

 

[kept]

 

Greek: tereo (GSN-5083), same as preserved in Jude 1:1.  The angels did not preserve their first estate (Greek: their own principality).  They did not remain in their own realm and native state, but left them so as to enter the human realm and marry the daughters of men.  This was an attempt to do away with pure Adamite stock and thus keep the seed of the woman from coming into the world to defeat them (Genesis 6:1-4; 2 Peter 2:4).  It is stated here that the angels, like Sodom and Gomorrha, lived contrary to nature and committed fornication (Jude 1:6-7).

 

[habitation]

 

Greek: oiketerion (GSN-3613), dwelling.  Used only one other time and that of the resurrected body which believers long for (2 Cor. 5:2).  Angels left their own dwellings, invading the human sphere and plane of living, and usurped the rights and prerogatives of human beings (Jude 1:7; Genesis 6:1-4, 2 Peter 2:4).

 

[he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day]

 

For this special sin of fornication (Jude 1:7), the angels are now bound in tartarus in chains until the great white throne judgment (2 Peter 2:4; Rev. 20:11-15).

 

Have you made up your mind yet?

 

How long halt ye between two opinions?

 

1 Kings 18:21  And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.

 

What is your decision?
