The Angelic Conflict – Part 21 Outline
The Angelic Conflict – Part 21 –
REV 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds.
REV 20:14 And death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
Today demons cannot physically assault, attack, or do violence to members of the human race because they do not have physical bodies.
So fierce was this army group that it was imprisoned in a separate area from the demons who are in Tartarus.
This army group will be composed of four hard core tough armies. Probably one sent to the North, one to the South, one to the East, and one to the West!
REV 9:15 And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released, so that they might kill a third of mankind.
There will only be one group that they cannot kill – certain demon possessed unbelievers will be exempted from their attack.
Their final attack will be religion – Rev 17-18. “have been prepared” = perf-mid-part = they have been kept in a state of readiness.
Nothing can happen in history apart from divine consent.
ISA 45:7 “I am the Lord. The One forming light and creating darkness, Causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the Lord who does all these.”
The exception are believers who have the wall of fire around them because they are living in God’s plan and unbelievers who are demon possessed.
1. The only visible attack occurred in the antediluvian civilization – a genetic attack (a demon invasion through sex). It involved the Nephilim, the beni ha elohim, the sons of the gods.
2. The invasion of the human body is demon possession. The invasion of the human soul and personality is demon influence.
3. The direct assault on the human race by demon armies with bodies – they will be visible after Satan is cast out of heaven during the Tribulation.
4. Once Satan is confined to the earth and no longer has access to heaven he has no need for the majority of those who serve him in the cosmic system – believers and unbelievers.
5. Satan uses this second demon assault army group to destroy his own human servants.
6. Certain demon possessed unbelievers will survive this attack, but they do not change their attitude toward demon possession.
This is the dispensation of the greatest power struggle in all of history because it involves not only people but angelic creatures as well.
ISA 2:12-22 ISA 24:1-23 JER 30:7 – it is called the time of Jacob’s [Israel’s] distress.
Joel 2:1 – It is called the day of the Lord.
It is a period of divine judgment, Zep 1:14-18. MAT 24:3-31
