Biblical demonology Pt.4 (Chapter5)
"Description and Doom of the Demons."
Gonna leave out my commentary
from the original post
and add some more lol...
and put in the verses quoted
in their entirety.
This is the spiritual enemy
that has already
been vanquished
and knows it
therefore
it is here
to just wreck
unimaginable havoc
before He/They
all go down
and take as many with
them as they can.
TRUTH.
"2. THEIR INTELLECTUAL NATURE
That evil spirits are believed
to possess superhuman knowledge
especially foreknowledge,
is attested by the widespread practice
of seeking oracles from them
Scripture, moreover,
uniformly emphasizes their perspicacity:
(The quality of having
a ready insight into things;
shrewdness.
astuteness
discernment
perception
penetration
percipience
perspicaciousness
sharpness
sharp-wittedness
quick-wittedness
keen-wittedness
clear-sightedness
sharp-sightedness
far-sightedness
acuteness
acuity
cleverness
canniness
intelligence
insight
wit
judiciousness
sound judgment
acumen
sagacity
wisdom
sageness
sensitivity
intuition
intuitiveness
understanding
discrimination
keenness
smartness
smarts
sapience
Okay I didn't have that
in the original post lol.)
"...they know Jesus
Mark 1:24 "
Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us?
I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
So?
If you believe demons exist?
and they know Christ?
but then you won't believe
Christ is a thing?
My mind just cont
jump through those hoops.)
"...bow before Him
Mark 5:6"
But when he saw Jesus afar off,
he ran and worshipped him,
"...speak of Him as the
"Son of the Most High God"
Mark 5:7
And cried with a loud voice, and said,
What have I to do with thee, Jesus,
thou Son of the most high God?
I adjure thee by God,
that thou torment me not.
So? Once again
just wanna make sure
I get this right,
people believe in entities
that call Christ
"Son of the most high God"
but they don't
think he was?
The first individual
to call Jesus the son of God
was possessed by a demon,
fitting,
as they would have known
who their ruler was.
(Christ rules over the spirit
and the material world.
Its why demons flee
at the site of a cross.)
Once again,
my mind just cant
jump through those hoops.)
"...realize that
there can be no fellowship
between light and darkness,
between Him and them..."
Luke 8:28
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
"...entreat favors of Him..."
Luke 8:31
And they besought him
that he would not command them
to go out into the deep.
"...obey Him..."
Matt. 8:16
When the even was come,
they brought unto him many
that were possessed
with devils:
and he cast out the spirits
with his word,
and healed all that were sick:
"...withhold knowledge
of His incarnation
and finished sacrifice..."
I John 4:1-3
Beloved, believe not every spirit,
but try the spirits
whether they are of God:
because many false prophets
are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God:
Every spirit that confesseth
that Jesus Christ
is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not
that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh
is not of God:
and this is
that spirit of antichrist,
whereof ye have heard
that it should come;
and even now
already is it in the world.
Thats why the white horse
in revelation
was first one mentioned.
It is
The spirit of the antichrist
an it comes on the scene:
When Christ started his ministry?
His Resurrection?
His ascension?
Take your pick.
Point is
it was here
very early on.
Revelation 6:1-2
And I saw when the Lamb
opened one of the seals,
and I heard, as it were
the noise of thunder,
one of the four beasts saying,
(One of the four
Come and see.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse:
and he that sat on him had a bow;
and a crown was given unto him:
and he went forth conquering,
and to conquer.
(Bow with no arrows or a quiver.
He is shooting blanks.
Its how you know who it is.
Real Christ
shows up in
Back to intellectual capacity of demons:
"...prevent and corrupt
sound doctrine
I Tim. 4:1-3..."
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly,
that in the latter times
some shall depart from the faith,
giving heed to seducing spirits,
and doctrines of devils;
vs 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy;
having their conscience seared
with a hot iron;
vs 3 Forbidding to marry,
and commanding to abstain from meats,
which God hath created
to be received with thanksgiving
of them which believe
and know the truth.
Verse speaks to what was going on
when the passage was written.)
"...discern between those
sealed by God and those unsealed..."
Rev. 9:4
And it was commanded them
that they should not hurt the grass of the earth,
neither any green thing, neither any tree;
but only those men
which have not
the seal of God
in their foreheads.
(Not in their right minds.)
"and comprehend the future,
and their own inevitable doom"
(Maybe thats why they dont really care
so much about what happens hum?
They hate humans and they don't care.)
Matt. 8:29
And, behold, they cried out, saying,
What have we to do with thee,
Jesus, thou Son of God?
art thou come hither to torment us
before the time?
"Although the demons' knowledge
is keen and supernatural,
it is not a holy
or saving knowledge.
Demons
"believe and shudder"
Jas. 2:19
Thou believest
that there is one God;
thou doest well:
the devils also believe,
and tremble.
So?
You believe in a higher level life form
than humans,
(demons/evil spirits)
and they know their eternal fate
and THEY tremble,
but you aint concerned
about yours?
My mind just cant
jump through those hoops.)
"...but being confirmed in evil,
never seek forgiveness,
never plead for purity.
They have a
distinct realization
that Jesus is Lord
of the spirit-world,
but their confession does not
involve a saving trust,
or a willing submission.
They worship Christ
Mark 3:11
And unclean spirits,
when they saw him,
fell down before him,
and cried, saying,
Thou art the Son of God.
"...but their worship
is not the adoration of love
or the joy of holy communion
but the mere bending
of a lower
to a higher will,
in hate and resentment..."
"As Satan's vast though finite wisdom
became corrupted when he sinned
Ezek. 28:12, 17,
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty,
thou hast corrupted thy wisdom
by reason of thy brightness:
I will cast thee to the ground,
I will lay thee before kings,
that they may behold thee.
"...it is reasonable to conclude
that the great wisdom
which characterizes
angelic beings in general
2 Sam. 14:20,
To fetch about this form of speech
hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and
my lord is wise,
according to the wisdom
of an angel of God,
to know all things
that are in the earth.
"...was, in the case of the multitude
of angelic collaborators who followed him,
likewise perverted."
This is doubtless
the explanation
of the
pre-eminent
but unholy knowledge
of the demons,
which is used so relentlessly
in ceaseless and indefatigable attempts
to foil and frustrate
God's plans and purposes."
In the end?
They serve
their enemy's purposes:
Revelation 17:17
For God hath
put in their hearts
to fulfil his will,
and to agree,
and give their kingdom
unto the beast,
until the words of God
shall be fulfilled.
HOW HUMILIATING.
The whole time I was reading all of that
and putting this together,
I just couldn't help but think
you know,
if you really wanted an entity
to fuck some shit up
???????????
There is not anything
that would
to do a better job of it
than what we just read about.
