WHAT IS SATAN'S KINGDOM?

WHAT IS SATAN'S KINGDOM?
The Prophet

Let's turn to the text in Luke 10:18 and 19.

"And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightening fall from heaven."

We came across that passage in the message taken from 1Peter chapter one verse four where our heavenly inheritance is discussed.  In the course of the message we learned that our inheritance is undefiled.  That's when the Holy Ghost gave us insight into the significance of this passage and the reason for the swift disposal of Satan from heaven.  Because of his infinite and seemingly, out of control love for the Church, God the Father wasted no time dispatching the Adversary from the heavens in order to keep our inheritance undefiled.  Today, as I write, that passage now takes on a deeper meaning.  Because it goes before what is written in verse 19, the text for yesterday's message, it serves as a stepping stone to understanding verse 19.

What Jesus is telling his disciples is that the leader of the serpents and scorpions, Satan, is already fallen.  Because of that fact, we have a power over his cohorts and "over all the power of the enemy."

I made reference to the movie the Matrix Sunday as an example of how God's word is continually unplugging us from this worldly matrix.  In the movie, the new member was perceived as being "the one."  If you recall, he was taken to see the Oracle and the Oracle was not convinced that he was who or what Morpheus thought he was. At the completion of his training, he soon came to understand that he indeed, was "the one" and that his powers against the enemy were unlimited.

As Special Agents of Christ, we cannot be effective against the enemy until we fully understand who we are and what are our God given abilities.  Who are we?  We are born again creatures of God.  Sons/daughters of God!  What has God given to us according to the text?  The power (exousia: Gk.) to tread on serpents and scorpions!

Jesus is not referring to literal snakes and scorpions here.  And neither is he referring to merely a spiritual force.  Now, that's a jawbreaker of a statement unless one understands that just as God has a Kingdom, so does Satan.  And if God has real, literal troops in His army, so does Satan.  Jesus referred to Satan's kingdom with the remarks that if Satan's kingdom be divided, it cannot stand. (Matthew 12:26) We have learned over the past few years that Satan does indeed have a kingdom and that Jesus' words about it being divided are true.  Consequently, we must understand that Satan's kingdom will fall.

(Here, I must say that I get a unique thrill just writing these words through this "web", Satan's most powerful tool for enslaving the souls of men.  We had a class some years ago showing the equivalence of www to the number 666.  Imagine how Satan and his minions must feel when they see this stuff transmitted.  They never envisioned their net being a tool used to bring about their own downfall.)

Back to Satan's kingdom; he does have one.  He has forces that are ready to do battle against the Kingdom of God and at this time in his lengthy career that he actually believes he has both the resources and the power to take God's kingdom out!

God has been showing us, since 1996; in the text taken from II Thessalonians chapter two, that what are referred to as "aliens" are none other than Satan's creation.  Someone may object by noting that Satan does not have creation power.  No, he does not, but he can meddle with God's creation.  That is exactly what he promulgated in Genesis chapter six with the intermingling of the sons of God with the daughters of men.  The result of that union was a hybrid race known as Giants, or Nephilim.  The flood was sent to eliminate that seed from the face of the earth.  That was in the days of Noah.  Jesus prophesied letting us know that "as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the time of the coming of the Son of man."  While that passage focuses on "eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage," it includes with it, the reality that we live today among the seed of Satan.  

Does Satan have a seed?  Yes, most definitely! According to Genesis 3:15 Satan has his own seed upon the earth and his seed and the Seed of the woman, which is Christ (and His seed: us) are engaged in a deadly conflict.

God first published the story of the conflict between the two seeds, not in the Bible, but He wrote it using the stars that He placed in the heavens.  The constellation of Scorpio shows a picture of a scorpion.  Above the scorpion, a symbol for Satan, is a picture of a man, Ophiuchus, (a symbol for Jesus) holding a large snake, Serpens (another symbol of Satan.)  The tail, stinger, of the Scorpion is lifted up toward the heel of the Strong Man.  "…and he shall bruise thy heel."

Those who are familiar with the different species of aliens will tell you that the most insidious branch of aliens are the Reptilians.  They are depicted in just about every sci-fi movie ever made. The TV series, "V" that was made in the 80s and then re-made a few years ago used disguised Reptilians as the invading aliens.  Another branch, aside from the Greys, is a group simply known as Insectoids.  These are not usually called by that name; they are just portrayed in many space/alien films as creatures resembling insects, usually of the scorpion variety.

If you think we've taken a trip to a place "where no man has boldly gone" before, all you have to do is read Revelation, chapter nine and there you will find a description of some locusts unlike any plant-eating locust you will find on the earth.  In that passage reference is made to scorpions.  The scorpions are said to have power.  They are positioned as being "on the earth."  If the reference is to a natural scorpion, then the expression "on the earth" is redundant at best.

There is a conflict coming and at the end of these last days God will reveal his true saints and before we leave here we will fulfill the words of Jesus in Luke 10:19, a passage that cannot be verified as having occurred during any period of Church history.
