The Angelic Conflict – Part 29 Outline
The Angelic Conflict – Part 29 –
The power of God is infinitely greater than the power of man or any angelic creature.
MAT 5:45 “for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.”
Even when God is judging the unbeliever, He is treating him in grace; judgment by pain is the last call to the person who has rejected the gospel many times.
The grace directed toward the unbeliever in judgment by pain, and toward the human race in judgment by death, is absolutely phenomenal.
Instead of judgment by pain, it is warning by perfect environment.
They absolutely refuse to believe in Jesus Christ, who is not only ruling the world at that time but in the First Advent went to the cross and was judged for their sins.
2PE 3:9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
It will be one of the greatest manifestations of total depravity and evil – man’s rejection and distortion of the grace of God.
In the prehistoric angelic conflict and human history, certain creatures are not content to live under perfect rulership and a perfect plan.
Our Lord’s rulership was rejected by certain angels, REV 12:4-8, and by believers in the Church-age who reject His perfect plan, just like His rulership will be rejected in the Millennium, REV 20:7-8.
No capacity in the Millennium for perfect environment will be just like Adam and the woman who had absolutely no capacity.
The best environment in all of history occurs at the time of the Millennial reign of Christ and there will be a tremendous revolution against it!
At the end of the Millennium when Satan is released, he leads a conspiracy against Christ! The Gog and Magog revolution, Rev 20.
This revolution demonstrates that mankind, like angels, is never satisfied apart from capacity of life from regeneration and spiritual living.
Improved environment – Better environment – Perfect environment – is not the solution to man’s problems.
The carnal believer of the Church-age and the unbeliever of the Millennial reign of Christ both have an arrogance which destroys capacity for life!
It’s far better to be living historically during our Lord’s rule of the church than to be living during the Millennium.
No problem is too great for the divine provisions of the Church-age!
1. No matter what mankind possesses, he cannot be satisfied without a personal relationship with TLJC.
2. Believers can use B.D. and remain faithful even in prosperity.
Man has 1,000 years of perfect environment and he revolts against perfect environment = environment is not the solution to man’s problems!
MAR 8:36 “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?”
Satan seeks to overthrow the rule of Christ by violence because he cannot meet the wonderful administration of our Lord’s rulership over the world.
A member of the human race, TLJC, has done what Satan could not do – rule the earth and bring glory to God.
MAR 4:24 Take care what you listen to. LUK 8:18 Therefore take care how you listen;
ISA 11:3 “He will not judge by what His eyes see, Nor make a decision by what His ears hear;” JOH 7:24 “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
His goal is to lead all believers astray from the real plan of God.
Satanic deception is so powerful because it offers so much obvious and outward proof.
MAT 22:29 “You are deceived, not understanding the scriptures, or the power of God.”
