The Earthly WarThose in Heaven rejoiced to have Lucifer and his angels cast out from them. Imagine how beautiful Heaven is without even a hint of sin in it. BUT, for those on the earth, woe because of the great wrath of Satan. Satan becomes the darkness that covers the whole earth. He has become the evil one, the prince of the air, the father of lies, as well as many other titles. Revelation 12:12John 10:10Satan hates the souls of mankind with a great hatred. He only desires to steal our innocence, kill in every way, and destroy our lives, especially our souls.Proverbs 29:22-24Luke 22:31-32Romans 5:62 Timothy 2:25-262 Corinthians 4:3-4Mankind is Born into the Earthly WarPsalms 51:5The new war is the war between Satan (with his angels) and mankind. Satan is bound for the Lake of Fire and wants every soul to go there with him. His wrath is cruel; he has no mercy for souls. Satan is not anyone’s friend or helper.Romans 5:10-21Romans 6:1-23Ephesians 2:2-32 Corinthians 11:32 Corinthians 11:14-15Revelation 12:91 Peter 5:8-9Ecclesiastes 8:8John 14:6

The Heavenly War The War in Heaven The Knowledge of both good and evil has caused war inHeaven as well as on Earth. Lucifer (aka Satan, Serpent, Dragon, and the Devil)was the Cherub who covered the presence of God. He saw the beauty of God in theHoly Mountain and chose to exalt himself in his heart to be like unto God inhis pride. God charged him, therefore, with the sin. Through Lucifer’sTrafficking (deception and merchandise), he deceived a third of the angels ofGod chose to fall into the same sins that he did. This led to a war inheaven where God divided the light from the darkness. Michael and his angelsfought against the Dragon and his angels. After the war was over, Satan and Hisangels were cast out of Heaven unto the Earth (to await their final sentence). Ezekiel 28:11-19Isaiah 14:12-17 Revelation 12:7-9 God sets the Firmament Boundary Between Heaven and EarthTo set a boundary between Day and Night, Good and Evil, God created a firmament between the waters: The waters (creative elements) were separated to establish the Heavens and the Earth. From these waters under the firmament, God created the Earth and all that is within it. The firmament was called Heaven – the sky, the expanse above the Earth. That which is above the firmament is the place where God and His angels dwell. Some call the second (and even the third) heaven. Neither Satan nor his angels can ascend back into the Heavens. There is only one way to ascend into Heaven – through Jesus Christ.Genesis 1:6-10Job 4:18Psalms 103:20

Satan has BoundariesKey points of Satan’s Creation:·     Satan was created, not pre-existing as God or with God.·     Originally blameless and glorious·     Pride and rebellion led to his fall.Satan (Lucifer) is Created:Ezekiel 28:12-19The Cherub that Covers:There were cherubim that covered the Mercy Seat; these cherubim are depicted as guarding the presence and glory of God, with their wings covering the mercy seat, where God’s presence dwelt.   Using this example of Cherub covering, one can assume that the original purpose of Lucifer (Satan) was to cover the Throne of God as one who stood in God’s presence as a guardian of God’s Throne or glory. He had access to the Holy Mountain of God and walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.The Angel that Lost His First Estate:Jude 6Luke 10:18-20Satan's New Purpose:Isaiah 14:4-23Revelation 12:9-10Job 1:6-121 Peter 5:8-101 Corinthians 10:13Romans 16:20God uses Satan to perfect the ones that Satan accuses. Satan hates mankind with perfect hatred. The soul that is perfected inChrist will stand before God, where He used to stand, and behold the glory of God in the beauty of Holiness.2 Corinthians 11:13-151 Chronicles 16:27-35Revelation 20:1-3The final purpose of Satan is to gather all nations to battle and to be judged by God.Revelation 20:7-8Christ is Over ALL Creation:Colossians 1:13-17The Measure of Difference Between God's Power and Satan's Power:Job 41:1-7The Measure of the Difference Between Satan and Man:Job 41:8-34

It is the acceptance of the false religion that will dominate the world. A person will not be able to buy or sell in the world economy unless they swear their allegiance to the Beast (powered by the spirit of the Antichrist).  What is the Antichrist? The Antichrist is a Spirit and all that opposes God. The spirit of the antichrist is Satan and His angels.Romans 1:18-322 Thessalonians 2:1-12Matthew 24:241 John 4:1-6Acts 3:20-26Deuteronomy 18:15-191 Thessalonians 5:1-111 Peter 1:23Revelation 13:8Hebrews 4:3The “False Prophet” is the final false prophet that will be empowered by the Devil Himself and His lying spirits.  Matthew 24:242 Thessalonians 2:3Revelation 16:12-14In Egypt, Moses performed miracles from the Lord. Pharaoh’s magicians were also able to duplicate the first three plagues. The Beast will perform miracles to deceive and enforce the false reign ofSatan. Just because miracles may happen, they may not be from the hand of God.

Through the Mark of the Beast, Satan (Lucifer) will make His last attempt to be worshipped in the creation above the worship of God the Creator. Knowing His status of Eternal Damnation, He will seek to hurt God through jealousy, regarding the worship that is only to be given to God. Matthew 4:8-11Isaiah 14:12-19Luke 10:17-20The Mark of the Beast serves as the symbol of allegiance to Satan that those in the world will be forced to worship and serve. It is far more than any societal compliance (buying or selling), but a direct rejection of God in the declaration of loyalty to Satan’s Kingdom. It is about who one chooses to worship and serve. This is the ultimate idolatry that God has repeatedly warned against through the scriptures. It is through this rejection of God and the acceptance of Satan which shows the consequences of eternal damnation are shown for all who receive the Mark of the Beast. The Angels that accepted Lucifer were cast out of Heaven with Him. These angels have no repentance. The Devil and the Angels that followed Him are destined for the Lake of Fire. Unfortunately, the souls of those deceived, who are not found written in the Book of Life, are also cast into the Lake of Fire.Revelation 20:10Matthew 25:41revelation 20:14-15The Mark of the Beast is the ultimate betrayal against GodMatthew 12:31-33Matthew 15:8-9Deuteronomy 11:13-17John 4:23-24The deception that will follow the Mark of the Beast will be powerful, appealing, and compelling. Only through spiritual discernment will a person be able to see it for what it truly is – Idolatry. The receiving of the Mark of the Beast will also be a religious act in conformity with this world. Romans 12:2Receiving the Mark of the Beast will be carried out as a religious act in allegiance to the AntichristRevelation 13:11-16

Receiving the Mark is a transgression of the Word of God. Just what is the transgression? The acceptance of the Mark is, in God’s view, the rejection of God by the alignment of oneself with the forces of Evil.  God sent His angels to warn John, to warn all peoples of every nation, kindred, tongue, and people through the reviled Word of God. Matthew 18:16 Revelation 14:6-10This angelic proclamation is made to not just one person; as in other biblical messages, this is sent by angels to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people. This is a serious judgment from God that bears eternal weight.  In addition to the angels, God will send two other witnesses who will prophecy for three and a half years.Revelation 11:3-12These two witnesses are to warn of impending wrath against evil doers and to call all people, kindreds, tongues, and nations to repentance. Their testimony will seem like torment to those who oppose God and worship things that provoke God to jealousy. The whole world will have access (technology) to their testimony and warnings. Thus, everyone will hear and be accountable for their own transgressions and sins as they fall for the Antichrist and the false prophet.Luke 17:26-30
