The Angelic Conflict – Part 35 Outline
The Angelic Conflict – Part 35 –
Point 10. – The Pseudo Victory of Satan in the Original Fall of Man –
He had the power to strike down Satan and the fallen angels, and and to annihilate him or put him in prison.
The claims of Satan to equality with God and superiority in power had to have their complete trial.
God’s plan was for all the universe to see, once and for all, if it were possible for any creature, of any rank, to live for even a moment independent of God the Creator.
The angelic conflict (invisible war) brings out a second will, the creature’s will over God’s will, and it takes place in human history!
GEN 1:1-2 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. [elapse of unknown time] And the earth became formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep;
GEN 1:3 “Let there be light”; and there was light.
2PE 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 2PE 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, (KJV)
2PE 3:5 – men are willingly ignorant when they express this doctrine of continuity. (KJV)
JER 4:23 I looked on the earth, and behold, it was formless and void; And to the heavens, and they had no light.
JER 4:24-25 I looked on the mountains, and behold, they were quaking, And all the hills moved to and fro. I looked, and behold, there was no man, And all the birds of the heavens had fled.
JER 4:26 I looked, and behold, the fruitful land was a wilderness, And all its cities were pulled down Before the Lord, before His fierce anger.
The shutting off of the light of the sun would have caused the precipitation of all moisture to the earth, and all of the waters of the earth would have been frozen.
1CO 6:20 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.
The ground was cursed when Adam sinned, Gen 3:17. The flood came when the human race was about to be overcome with demon possession, GEN 6:4-7.
The Great Tribulation announces the ending of this present age, MAT 24:21. The world itself, after all its sin and rebellion, is to burn with fire at the end of time, 2PE 3:7-10.
The lake of fire is to embrace Satan, Rev 20:10, and all who have persisted in following him, MAT 25:41.
