><>...Jack, satan can appear to be anything he wants...><>
He is the great deceiver...Nail prints and all, for those who may doubt.
Consider Gen.6:1-7, and the reason for the flood. The fallen angels not only took on a fleshy arrearance but impregnated the daughters of men. Wow, that is not just an appearance!
The progeny of these fallen angels were called; giants #5303 in Strongs, Nephilim a prime of #35307, Fallen. Does appearance cause offspring?
Are these not the ones spoken of in Jude; Jude 1:6-8 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. 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
Remember what Christ warned about when giving the signs of the days befor His appearance.
Matt 24:37-38 37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Have you ever considered who they are?
Well Jack there is coming another flood, a flood of lies that will also last 5 months....The same as in the days of Noah Rev 12:15 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
What comes out of the mouth of satan but lies and blasphemies? Remember how he beguiled Eve.
Rev 9:5 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
Now also consider Rev.12:7 Rev 12:7-9 7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Right now satan is here in spirit but that filthy, wicked spirit will soon be here in a form that will deceive the world. He will take on the image of Christ, at least the image that people will expect that will be Christ.
satan is coming to this earth again with his filthy gang. Only this time he knows that he has but a short time (before the coming of our Lord), and he will sit in the Temple of God showing himself that he is God.
II Th 2:4 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. ------------ ------------
As to my use of veil of innocence II Th 2:10-12 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
If God is the one who has caused them to believe a lie by reason of strong delusion would He then cast them to damnation?
Let me say it this way; If God knows that some who truly love Him, will in the end times at that hour, commit the unforgivable sin by not allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through them and give a testimony against satan for Jesus, as Jesus explained in Luke 12:10-12 and Mark 13:9-11, then God will have protected them from committing the unforgivable sin......By sending them a strong delusion, that delusion being, believing that satan was really Jesus.
Because if some know it to be satan disguised as Jesus and decide to give their own testimony against him Or just loose their courage and be afraid to say anything at all, then they would have prevented the Holy Spirit from speaking through them, thereby committing the unforgivable sin....Thus my use of veil of innocence.
Remember there will be those who know the truth and even in that case Jesus said;
Matt 24:22-24 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Dangerous Jack?...what is dangerous Jack is believing that we will be gone out of here before satan appears, and not knowing he will appear disguised as Jesus. What is dangerous Jack is believing that satan is some ugly monster who will come to this earth ripping the guts out of people. What's dangerous Jack is not to know that he is a beautiful angel (Ex.28) and he comes (Transformed=Disguised) as an angel of light (2 Cor.11:14), and that he will come in peace and cause craft to prosper (Dan.8)...What's dangerous Jack is to sit on our salvation and consider it..... a veil of innocence.
Oh sure Heaven-bound, but Wedding banquet-bound? Remember the 10 virgins?
In all brotherly love and sincerity Have a sensational day Jack you and your wife. Shalom...><>
