But to those outside, all [these] things are [given] in parables Ro 11:25 For I do not want you to be ignorant of this MYSTERY, brothers, lest you should be wise within yourselves; that blindness in part has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the nations has comes in. *Ro 16:25 Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of [the] MYSTERY, having been unvoiced during eternal times; 26 but now has been made plain, and by the prophetic Scriptures, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith; *1Co 2:7 But we speak [the] wisdom of God in a MYSTERY, which God has hidden, predetermining it before the world for our glory; 8 which none of the rulers of this world knew (for if they had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory). 9 But as it is written, "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard," nor has it entered into the heart of man, "the things which God has prepared for those who love Him." 10 But God has revealed [them] to us by His Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God. *Eph 1:9 having made known to us the MYSTERY of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, *Col 1:26 the MYSTERY which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. *Col 4:3 praying together about us also, that God may open to us a door of the Word, to speak the MYSTERY of Christ, for which I also have been bound, . . . . . . >>>WHAT IS THIS GREAT MYSTERY THAT GOD IS TALKING ABOUT THAT INVOLVES ME AND MY LOVED ONES? *EPHES. 3: 1 ¶ For this cause, I, Paul, am the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you nations, 2 if you have heard of the dispensation of the undeserved gift of the Loving Kindness of God which is given to me toward you, 3 that by revelation He made known to me the MYSTERY (as I wrote before in few words, 4 by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5 which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit, 6 that the nations should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partaker of His promise in Christ through the gospel. *Colos. 1: 25 . . . . I became a minister, according to the administration of God given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God; 26 the MYSTERY which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. 27 [For to them] God would make known what [are] the riches of the glory of this MYSTERY among the nations, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory, 28 whom we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. >>>WHAT? YOU MEAN THAT IS THE MYSTERY? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? >WHEN WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HIM, WHEN WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WE NEEDED HIM, WHEN WE WERE STILL MESSED UP AND FULL OF OUR PROBLEMS AND LIFE, HE CARED ENOUGH ABOUT US TO OFFER HIS LOVE TO US, TO EVEN SEND HIS OWN SON TO BE TORTURED TO DEATH SO WE COULD LOVE HIM AND BE SAFE WITH HIM FOREVER. *Eze 33:11 Say to them: [As] I live, says the Lord Jehovah, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways; for why will you die, O house of Israel? *John 3: 16 For God unselfishly and compassionately cherished the world [us, you and I, even before He created Adam and Eve and all the angels] that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever [submissively] believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. *Ro 5:6 For we yet being without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 8 But God commends His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. *2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slow concerning His promise, as some count slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any [of us] should perish, but that all [of us] should come to repentance. *Ephes. 2: 4 ¶ But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love [with] which He loved us. 5 (even when we were dead in sins) has made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved), 6 and has raised [us] up together and made [us] sit together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus, . . . *1 John 5: 11 And this is the record, that God has given to us everlasting life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 I have written these things to you who [submissively] believe on the Name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have everlasting life, and that you may [submissively] believe on the Name of the Son of God. *Ephes. 1:3 ¶ Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ; 4 according as He chose us in Him before [the] foundation of [the] world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5* having predestined us to the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to [the] praise of [the] glory of His grace, in which He has made us accepted in the [One] having been loved. 7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace, 8 which He caused to abound toward us in all wisdom and understanding; 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, 10 for an administration of the fullness of times, to head up all things in Christ, both the things in Heaven, and the things on earth, [even] in Him, 11 in whom also we have been chosen to an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His own will, 12 for us to be to [the] praise of His glory, who previously had trusted in Christ; 13 in whom also you, hearing the word of truth, the gospel of our salvation, in whom also believing, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the earnest of our inheritance, to [the] redemption of the purchased possession, to [the] praise of His glory. >>>HE CHANGED OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH, AND SLAVERY TO, THE EVIL SPIRITS IN OUR WORLD. Demonic angels had indwelt and worked in the people of Noah's time (Gen. 6:1-8). Then and today these demonic spirit beings work in the bodies, souls and minds of any humans that don't know Jesus personally. Now Christ Himself, by His Spirit, would enter, abide in, motivate and energize our frail and finite bodies, souls and spirits for the comforting ofour hearts to knit us together in Loving Kindness, for our assurance and understanding of the will of God. *Ephes. 2: 1 ¶ And He [has made you alive], who were once dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience; 3 among whom we also had our way of life in times past, in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. *Colos. 2:13 ¶ And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross. 15 Having stripped [Strong's: despoiled, disarmed] [spiritual] rulers and [demonic] authorities, He made a show of them publicly, triumphing [over] them in it. *2 Timothy 2: 25 in meekness instructing those who oppose, if perhaps God will give them repentance to the acknowledging of [the] truth, 26 and [that] they awake out of the snare of the Devil, having been taken captive by him, so as to do the will of that [evil] one. >HE CHANGED OUR RELATIONSHIP TO OUR NEIGHBORS, OUR FELLOW HUMANS. *EPHES. 2:11 ¶ Therefore remember that you, the non-Jews, in time past [were] in [the] flesh [your sins], . . . and that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who were once afar off are made near by the [shedding of the] blood of Christ [on the cross to pay for our sins]. 14 ¶ For He is our peace, He making us both one, and [He] has broken down the middle wall of partition [between us and the Jews], 15 having abolished in His flesh [the death of His body as sacrifice for our sins] the enmity (the [Sinai] Law of commandments [contained] in ordinances) so that in Himself He might make the two [Jews and non-Jews] into one new person, making peace [between Jew and non-Jew]; 16 and so that He might reconcile both [Jews and non-Jews] to God in one body [of believers] by [His sacrificial death on] the cross, having slain the enmity [between Jews and non-Jews] in Himself. 17 And He came and preached peace to you [non-Jews] who were afar off, and to those [Jews] who were near. 18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. 19 Now therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God, 20 and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being [the] chief cornerstone, 21 in whom every building having been fitly framed together, grows into a holy sanctuary in the Lord; 22 in whom you also are built together for a dwelling place of God through [the] Spirit. *Ephes. 4: 1 ¶ I therefore, the prisoner in [the] Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the calling with which you are called, 2 ¶ with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. *1John3: 14 ¶ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brothers. He who does not love [his] brother abides in death. 15 Everyone hating his brother is a murderer. And you know that no murderer has everlasting life abiding in him. 16 By this we have known the love [of God], because He laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brothers. 17 But whoever has this world's goods and sees his brother having need, and shuts up his bowels from him, how does the love of God dwell in him? 18 My children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. 19 And in this we shall know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him * John 3:34 I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. As I have loved you, you should also love one another. 35 By this all [people, angels, demons and spirits] shall know that you are My disciples, if you have love toward one another. >ONE OF HIS MYSTERY'S PURPOSES WAS TO SAVE US, TO LET US KNOW HIM AND BECOME EXAMPLES AND MESSENGERS OF HIS GREAT LOVING KINDNESS, THE AWESOME RICHES OF HIS UNDESERVED GIFT IN LOVING KINDNESS TO US THROUGH CHRIST JESUS *Ephes. 3:7 Of this [gospel] I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of His power. 8 This grace is given to me ([who am] less than the least of all saints) to preach the gospel of the unsearchable riches of Christ among the nations, 9 and to bring to light what [is] the fellowship of the MYSTERY which from eternity has been hidden in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ; *Ephes 2: 4 ¶ But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love [with] which He loved us 5 (even when we were dead in sins) has made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved), 6 and has raised [us] up together and made [us] sit together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in [His] kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. >HE RAISED US UP IN JESUS TO SHOW THE INCREDIBLE RICHES OF HIS UNEARNED KINDNESS IN US TO WHOM OR WHAT? *EPHES. 3:10 so that now to the rulers [angels and demons; spirit princes; spirit rulers and authorities] and powers in the heavenlies [the leading and more powerful among created beings superior to man, spiritual potentates; spirit rulers] might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, 11 according to the eternal purpose which He purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord; *1 Corinthians 1: 8 For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man. 9 Nor was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man. 10 For this reason the woman ought to have authority on [her] head because of the angels. *Hebrews 1:13 But to which of the angels, did He say at any time, "Sit on My right hand until I make Your enemies Your footstool?" 14* Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for those who shall be heirs of salvation? 12: 1 ¶ Therefore since we also are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses [seen and invisible], let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily besets [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, >SO WE ARE ON THE STAGE OF LIFE, SURROUNDED BY OUR FELLOW HUMANS AND COUNTLESS SPIRIT BEINGS (ANGELS AND DEMONS] THAT ARE WATCHING US DAY AND NIGHT TO SEE WHAT WILL BECOME OF US AND OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. THEY WAIT TO SEE IF WE WILL REMAIN FAITHFUL IN JESUS, OR IF WE WILL REBEL AND REJECT JESUS AS SATAN AND HIS DEMONS DID. Every soul that Satan and his demons can deceive and destroy becomes a win for Satan and his attempts destroy the work of God among us. Every soul that turns from his/her own way, turns away from Satan and his ways, becomes a trophy of God's LOVE and a statement that shames and discredits Satan in the presence of his demons, in the presence of God's angels, cherubim and seraphim ------ A STATEMENT THAT DECLARES TO ALL THE SPIRIT BEINGS IN THE UNIVERSE THAT GOD IS RIGHT AND GOOD, AND THAT SATAN IS DEAD WRONG AND BOUND FOR HELL ----- *******************BECAUSE*********************** *IF MERE MORTALS, MERE HUMAN BEINGS, SPIRIT BEINGS IN ANIMAL BODIES---------- *IF SUCH HUMANS LOVE AND LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES AND BODILY COMFORT FOR A GOD THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD--- *IF SUCH HUMANS WHOSE SPIRITS ARE DWELLING IN ANIMAL BODIES THAT SWEAT, GET DIRTY, SMELL, AGE, WEAKEN, HURT AND DIE- *IF SUCH HUMANS ARE WILLING TO GIVE UP AND LOSE ALL THE LITTLE THEY HAVE AND ARE FOR THE UNSEEN AND UNHEARD GOD THAT THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO LOVE MORE THAN THEMSELVES AND THE PRECIOUS LITTLE THEY HAVE-- ********************THEN************************ ALL THOSE ANGELS AND DEMONS AROUND US AND WATCHING US SEE THE GREAT MYSTERY THAT MERE MORTALS, SPIRIT BEINGS IN ANIMAL BODIES, CHOOSE TO LOVE, KNOW AND LIVE WITH THE GOD, JESUS, ------------------WHO--------------------------- *SATAN AND HIS DEMONS HAVE SEEN AND HEARD FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF CREATION--------------------- *SATAN AND HIS DEMONS SAW CREATE AND WALK WITH ADAM AND EVE IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN-- *SATAN AND HIS DEMONS TORTURED TO DEATH HIS LAST DAY ON EARTH-- ------------------AND---------------------------- THEY GET TO SEE HOW GREAT HIS LOVE IS TO EACH ONE-------- *HOW MUCH HE LOVES EACH ONE OF US LITTLE HUMANS------- *HOW GREAT IS HIS MERCY IN THE MIDST OF OUR NEEDS---------- *HOW GREAT IS HIS KINDNESS TO US WHO CAN OFFER HIM SO LITTLE- *HOW GREAT IS HIS PATIENCE WITH WE WHO KNOW SO LITTLE- *HOW MIGHTY HE IS IN EACH ONE OF US IN OUR WEAKNESS----- *HOW GENTLE HE IS WITH EACH OF US WHO HURT----------- *HOW STRONG HE IS WHEN WE ARE SO WEAK------------ *HOW GOOD HE IS TO US WHO FAIL TO BE SO GOOD------ *HOW MUCH HE CARES ABOUT EACH ONE OF US, EVEN NUMBERING THE HAIRS ON OUR HEADS-------- *HOW OUR LIVES ARE SO PRECIOUS TO HIM THAT HE KNOWS THE NUMBER OF OUR DAYS IN THIS LIFE--------- *HOW HE SENDS HIS MIGHTY ANGELS TO HELP TO US IN THIS LIFE --- *HOW HE PUTS HIS SPIRIT INSIDE OF US SO HE CAN KNOW AND FEEL OUR HEARTS, AND KNOW OUR EVERY THOUGHT AND DREAM----- *HOW HE LOVES WE MERE MORTALS SO MUCH THAT HE HAS GONE TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR US SO THAT WE CAN BE WITH HIM IN HIS LOVE FOREVER------ € SEEING HIS MANY MERCIES TO US, ALL THE SAINTS OF GOD WITH JESUS AND ALL HIS ANGELIC HOST WILL PRAISE AND WORSHIP GOD FOR HIS GREAT AND WONDROUS LOVE, AND THEY WILL KNOW THAT SATAN AND HIS DEMONS ARE LIARS AND ENEMIES OF ALL THAT IS LOVING KINDNESS, THAT JESUS IS RIGHT AND SATAN IS WRONG, THAT ULTIMATELY JESUS WINS AND SATAN LOSES, THAT ALL LIFE'S WRONGS WILL BE MADE RIGHT, THAT THE EARTH WILL BE FREE FROM EVIL AND HARM, AND THAT PEACE AND LOVING KINDNESS WILL FILL THE EARTH AND EVERY HEART. € HOW DID ALL THIS COME ABOUT? WHEN DID IT BEGIN? WHERE DID EVIL AND THE EVIL ONES COME FROM? >>>JESUS, AS GOD IN THE BEGINNING, CREATING ALL THINGS. *Gen.1:1 ¶ In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. *John 1:1 ¶ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in [the] beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and without Him not even one [thing] came into being that has come into being. *Colos. 1:12 ¶ giving thanks to the Father, who has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. 13 [For He] has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated [us] into the kingdom of His dear Son; 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins. 15 who is [the] image of the invisible God, [the] First-born of all creation. 16 For all things were created by Him, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, all things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. 18 And He is [the] Head of the body, the church, who is [the] Beginning, the First-born from the dead, that He may be pre-eminent in all things. 19 For it pleased [the Father] that in Him all fullness should dwell. >>>JESUS CREATED AN ORDERLY AND PEACEFUL WORLD. HE DID NOT CREATE THE WORLD WITHOUT FORM AND VOID. 1 Corinthians 14: 33 FOR GOD IS NOT [A GOD] OF DISORDER [Strong's: instability, a state of disorder, disturbance, confusion] BUT OF PEACE [Strong's: 1) tranquillity, exempt from the rage and havoc; 2) peace , i.e. harmony, concord; 3) security, safety, prosperity, felicity], AS IN ALL THE ASSEMBLIES OF THE SAINTS. Isa 45:18 FOR SO SAYS THE LORD THE CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS, HE [IS] GOD, FORMING THE EARTH AND MAKING IT; HE MAKES IT STAND, NOT CREATING IT EMPTY, [See Strongs 8414: Not creating it informlessness, confusion, unreality, emptiness; not creating it as a wasteland, wilderness, a chaotic place of vanity] [BUT] FORMING IT TO BE INHABITED. I [AM] THE LORD, AND [THERE IS] NO OTHER. *Isaiah 41: 18 I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. 19 I will plant the cedar in the wilderness, the acacia tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree. I will set the fir tree in the desert, [and] the pine, and the box tree together; 20 so that they may see, and know, and look on, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it. >>>SO JESUS MADE A "GOOD" LUCIFER IN THE BEGINNING Ezek 28:12...So says the Lord Jehovah: You seal the measure, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 You have been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone [was] your covering, the ruby, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the turquoise, and the emerald, and gold. The workmanship of your tambourines and of your flutes was prepared in you in the day that you were created. 14 You [were] the anointed cherub that covers, and I had put you in the holy height of God [where] you were.; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 You [were] perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until iniquity was found in you. >>> SO SATAN (Lucifer) FELL AND BECAME EVIL. *Ezekiel 28:16 By the multitude of your goods they have filled your midst [with] violence, and you have sinned. So I cast you profaned from the height of God, and I destroy you, O covering cherub, from among the stones of fire. 17 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you have spoiled your wisdom because of your brightness. I will cast you to the ground; I will put you before kings, that they may behold you. 18 By the host of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your trade, you have profaned your holy places; so I brought a fire from your midst; it shall devour you, and I will give you for ashes on the earth, before the eyes of all who see you. 19 All who know you among the peoples shall be astonished at you; you shall be terrors, and you [will] not [be] forever. *Isaiah 14:12 How you are fallen from the heavens, O shining star, son of the morning! [How] you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! 13 For you have said in your heart, I will go up [to] the heavens, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. 14 I will go up above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High. 15 Yet you shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the Pit. >>>SO SATAN WAS CAST OUT AND THE WORLD BECAME A MESS. * Luke 10:17 ¶ And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through Your name. 18 And He said to them, I saw Satan fall from Heaven like lightning. *Isaiah 14:16 Those who see you shall stare and closely watch you, [saying], Is this the man who made the earth to tremble; who shook kingdoms;17 [who] made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed its cities; [who] did not open the house for his prisoners? Gen. 1: 2* AND THE EARTH BECAME WITHOUT FORM [See Strong's 8814: a place of formlessness, confusion, unreality, emptiness; nothingness, empty space; wastelands, wildernesses ; a place of chaos and vanity. Contrast Isaiah 45:18, above.], AND VOID [ Strong's: emptiness, void, waste]; AND DARKNESS [WAS] UPON THE FACE OF THE DEEP.... >>>SO JESUS HAD TO DO A SALVAGE-REPAIR JOB Gen. 1:2 And the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters. Colos. 1:15 who is [the] image of the invisible God, [the] First- born of all creation. 16 For all things were created by Him, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, all things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. >>>SO THE ANGELS THAT WERE LOYAL TO GOD SERVED HIM--- Ezekiel 1:4 ¶ And I looked, and behold, a windstorm came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire flashing itself, and a brightness to it all around, and out of its midst, like the color of polished bronze out of the middle of the fire. 5 Also out of its midst [came] the likeness of four living creatures. And this [was] how they looked; they had the likeness of a man. 6 And four faces [were] to each, and four wings to each. 7 And their feet [were] straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot. And they sparkled like the color of burnished copper. 8 And the [hands] of a man [extended] from under their wings on their four sides; and the four of them [had] their faces and their wings, 9 joining each one to the other [by] their wings. They did not turn in their going; each one went toward the front of their face. 10 And the likeness of their faces: the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right [side] to the four of them; and the face of an ox on the left side to the four of them; and the face of an eagle to the four of them.11 So their faces [were]. And their wings [were] stretched upward; to each, the two [wings] of each one were joined; and two [wings] covered their bodies. 12 And each went toward the front of their faces. To where the spirit was to go, there they went; they did not turn in their going. 13 And the likeness of the living creatures: they looked like burning coals of fire; like the appearance of torches. It was continually circling among the living creatures. And the fire [was] bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. 14 And the living creatures kept running and returning, like the appearance of a flash of lightning. 15 ¶ And as I looked at the living creatures, behold, one WHEEL [was] on the earth by the living creatures, with its four faces. 16 The appearance of the WHEELS and their workmanship [was] the color of beryl, and the four of them had one likeness. And their appearance and their workmanship [was] like a WHEEL in the middle of a WHEEL . 17 When they went, they went on their four sides; [and] they did not turn when they went. 18 And their rims: they [were] even high; they were even awesome. And their rims [were] full of eyes all around the four of them. 19 And in the going of the living creatures, the WHEELS went beside them; and in the lifting up of the living creatures from the earth, the Wheels were lifted up. 20 Wherever the spirit was to go, there they went; there the spirit [was] to go, and the Wheels were lifted up along with them. For the spirit of the living creature was in the Wheels. 21 In their going, [these] went; and in their standing still, these stood still. And in their lifting up from the earth, the Wheels were lifted up along with them. For the spirit of the living creature [was] in the Wheels. 22 And there [was] a likeness over the heads of the living creature; an expanse, like the color of awesome crystal stretched out over their heads from above. 23 And under the expanse their wings [were] straight, the one toward the other. Each one had two [wings] covering on this [side], and to each two covering on that [side of] their bodies. 24 And I heard the sound of their wings, like the sound of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, in their going [was] the sound of tumult, like the sound of an army. In their standing still, they let down their wings. 25 And there was a voice from the expanse which [was] over their heads, in their standing still, and they let down their wings. Eze 3:13 [I heard] also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the Wheels over against them, and a noise of a great rushing. Eze 11:22 Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the Wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel [was] over them above. Da 7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his Wheels [as] burning fire. >>>>THE ANGELS THAT BECAME DEMONIC CHOSE TO SERVE SATAN Often the way they appeared reads like the description of UFO's. Satan and his demonic angels would use their UFO appearances to do a good job of deceiving New Agers, giving them a hope in some other savior than Jesus, a savior from outer space. 2 Corinthians 11: 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light [messengers of light]. 15 Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. [UFO's are often known by their lights] >>>SATAN AND HIS DEMONS TRY TO DESTROY EVERY HUMAN, DOING THEIR BEST TO FIGHT GOD AND HIS ANGELS THAT HE SENDS TO HELP US. Ephes. 2: 1 ¶ And He [has made you alive], who were once dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience; 3 among whom we also had our way of life in times past, in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. *Daniel 10: 10 ¶ And behold, a hand touched me, which set me shaking on my knees and the palms of my hands. 11 And he said to me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright. For to you I am now sent. And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling. 12 Then he said to me, Do not fear, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and to chasten yourself before your God, your words were heard. And I have come for your words. 13 But the ruler of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days. But lo, Michael, one of the chief rulers, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. 14 Now I have come to make you understand what shall happen to your people in the latter days. For the vision is yet for [many] days. >>>GOD'S SPIRIT OFFERS HIS LOVE AND TRUTH TO EVERY HUMAN *JOHN 1: 9 He was the true Light; [He] enlightens every man coming into the world. *John 16: 7 ¶ But I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you. But if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 And when that One comes, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment. 9 Concerning sin, because they do not believe on Me; 10 concerning righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. >>>GOD HAS HIS ANGELS HELP US TO ACCOMPLISH HIS PURPOSES IN OUR LIVES Hebrews 1:13* But to which of the angels, did He say at any time, "Sit on My right hand until I make Your enemies Your footstool?" 14* Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for those who shall be heirs of salvation? *Daniel 10:12 Then he said to me, Do not fear, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and to chasten yourself before your God, your words were heard. And I have come for your words. . . . 14 Now I have come to make you understand what shall happen to your people in the latter days. For the vision is yet for [many] days. >>>AND THEY ALL --- ANGELS, DEVIL AND DEMONS --- ARE WATCHING US TO LEARN ABOUT THE LOVE OF GOD AS HE WORKS IN OUR LIVES. YOU ARE ON THE STAGE OF YOUR LIFE.
