Tim, It's easy to get mixed up on who posts what where and when. LOLOL. I've already lost the train of thought here, unfortunately. So I find it difficult to discern what you're saying/asking, and therefore difficult to answer. I'm lost in outer space now. - Blessings, Reighnskye |

384 | The shaking of heaven and earth | Heb 12:26 | Reighnskye | 130402 | ||
My personal interpretation of these verses is that the heavenly shaking may involve the unsettling of the higher archonic entities which fill the heavens. The notion involves the idea that even the most perfect of the angels in God's sight are filled with sinful blemish, and therefore must undergo a shaking. I'm afraid that I can't provide scripture to back this up at this time however, as my views are somewhat in the formative and theoretical stage on the issue. |

385 | Are angels sinful? | Heb 12:26 | Reighnskye | 135509 | ||
Are angels sinful? Here the author seems to attest the sinfulness of man, by declaring the comparison, that even the angels are charged with error and the heavens themselves are impure. If the angels are charged with impure error, as high as they are, then certainly humanity is even moreso corrupt, beyond even the corruption of angels. Job 4 17 'Can mankind be just before God? Can a man be pure before his Maker? 18 'He puts no trust even in His servants; And against His angels He charges error. (NAS95) Job 15 15 "Behold, He puts no trust in His holy ones, And the heavens are not pure in His sight; 16 How much less one who is detestable and corrupt, Man, who drinks iniquity like water! (NAS95) In contrast, I have often heard what I consider to be a popular heresy, that says angels lack free will, and are therefore incapable of making sinful choices. But if that were the case how could Satan and one-third of the angels then fall from the heavens? - Blessings, Reighnskye |

386 | Are stars angels? And do they fall? | Heb 12:26 | Reighnskye | 135606 | ||
In the bible, Are stars often meant to be intrepreted as angels (messengers), and do stars/angels fall from heaven? These verses may help. How do you interpret them? - Re 12:4 And his tail *swept away a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child. Isa 14:12 "How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations! Isa 14:13 "But you said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north. Da 8:10 It grew up to the host of heaven and caused some of the host and some of the stars to fall to the earth, and it trampled them down. Mr 13:25 AND THE STARS WILL BE FALLING from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. Re 1:20 "As for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches. Re 9:1 ¶ Then the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven which had fallen to the earth; and the key of the bottomless pit was given to him.

387 | Is Satan fully the god of this world? | Heb 12:26 | Reighnskye | 135644 | ||
Xmikx, How do we know that Satan presently rules the earth today? Isn't his earthly reign yet incomplete, that he shall find it necessary to engage in further wars upon the earth? - Certainly, Satan currently rules the hells, but Satan will not likely rule our physical earth until he inhabits the body of the man antichrist, which will be necessary for Satan to manifest in physical form upon the earth. Satan's earthly rule will not be complete, until the man antichrist (possessed by Satan) practically subjects the nations of the earth into a singular government, with the manifestation of supernatural effects. When the man antichrist is fully possessed by Satan, and is seated in a position of governmental and religious authority, then Satan can at last provide locomotion, to the arms and legs of a physical body, so as to more directly affect national events. No more middlemen, so to speak. He can then further speak to the nations of the earth directly, in the manner of word for word national addresses, through the mouth of the man antichrist, as well as author what books and laws that he may. But I suggest that Satan's dominion over the earth is not yet complete. In this sense, the evil one has not yet fulfilled divine prophecy, and must still physically walk this earth, for his reign to be complete over the nations. - Although Christ can physically materialize or supernaturally etherealize His body at any time, nonetheless Satan cannot. Although, Christ can ascend into the highest heavens or descend into the lowest hells, with little care or effort, thereby establishing his sovereignty over them, nonetheless Satan cannot. - So I ask: Is Satan the god of this world and does he presently possess complete dominion over the nations of the earth? Or is this strictly in the future? - Blessings, Reighnskye |

Kalos, Actually, this particular question was not addressed to a specific individual. Although, when I ask questions in the future, I will attach no names with them. That's simply the way that I've seen it done in the past. But your point is taken. Thanks. - Blessings, Reighnskye |

390 | Is Satan fully the god of this world? | Heb 12:26 | Reighnskye | 135659 | ||
Sandy, Thanks much for the scriptures: 2 Corinthians 4 4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (NAS95) It seems quite clear that Satan is the god of this world in this verse, although I would suggest that his reign is not yet as complete and and widespread as it will yet be in the future. - John 12 31 "Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. (NAS95) And here we see a future event, which apparently wasn't yet fulfilled at the time of Paul's letter. - Ephesians 2 1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. (NAS95) And here is an interesting reference to the prince of the power of the "air". Some have interpreted this verse to say that Satan still has access to the heavens, as in the book of Job, and that he is not yet cast out of heaven, until a future time. - I'm not sure that I caught your Romans 12:2 verse. Were you trying to quote something else perhaps? :) - And as far as Satan physically presenting himself upon the earth is concerned, such is partially a manner of speech. The idea has to do with the fact that demons are sometimes capable of actuating the limbs of demon-possessed individuals. Mark 5 2 When He got out of the boat, immediately a man from the tombs with an unclean spirit met Him, 3 and he had his dwelling among the tombs. And no one was able to bind him anymore, even with a chain; 4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces, and no one was strong enough to subdue him. 5 Constantly, night and day, he was screaming among the tombs and in the mountains, and gashing himself with stones. (NAS95) Luke 11 24 "When the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding any, it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' 25 "And when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order. 26 "Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first." (NAS95) - But will Satan himself directly possess a person? Or will the man antichrist be possessed? Re 16:13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; (NAS95) Here are some possible correlations. But please check the next verses in my continued post. (continued to next post) |

- (continued from last post; please read previous post first for context) And here we see God speaking to the king of Babylon as if he were Lucifer himself. And then a similar event also occurs in the book of Ezekiel to the king of Tyre. Sorta strange talk, no? I suggest that it establishes a pattern for certain rulers, though. And will the man antichrist be exempt? Ezekiel 28 1 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, 2 "Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because your heart is lifted up And you have said, 'I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods In the heart of the seas'; Yet you are a man and not God, Although you make your heart like the heart of God-- 3 Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; There is no secret that is a match for you. 4 "By your wisdom and understanding You have acquired riches for yourself And have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries. 5 "By your great wisdom, by your trade You have increased your riches And your heart is lifted up because of your riches-- 6 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, 'Because you have made your heart Like the heart of God, 7 Therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon you, The most ruthless of the nations. And they will draw their swords Against the beauty of your wisdom And defile your splendor. 8 'They will bring you down to the pit, And you will die the death of those who are slain In the heart of the seas. 9 'Will you still say, "I am a god," In the presence of your slayer, Though you are a man and not God, In the hands of those who wound you? 10 'You will die the death of the uncircumcised By the hand of strangers, For I have spoken!' declares the Lord GOD!"'" 11 Again the word of the LORD came to me saying, 12 "Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre and say to him, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "You had the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 "You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The ruby, the topaz and the diamond; The beryl, the onyx and the jasper; The lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald; And the gold, the workmanship of your settings and sockets, Was in you. On the day that you were created They were prepared. 14 "You were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 "You were blameless in your ways From the day you were created Until unrighteousness was found in you. 16 "By the abundance of your trade You were internally filled with violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you as profane From the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire. 17 "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I put you before kings, That they may see you. 18 "By the multitude of your iniquities, In the unrighteousness of your trade You profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought fire from the midst of you; It has consumed you, And I have turned you to ashes on the earth In the eyes of all who see you. 19 "All who know you among the peoples Are appalled at you; You have become terrified And you will cease to be forever."'"

- (oops, continued again; please check the first of three posts for context) Isaiah 14 4 that you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon, and say, "How the oppressor has ceased, And how fury has ceased! 5 "The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, The scepter of rulers 6 Which used to strike the peoples in fury with unceasing strokes, Which subdued the nations in anger with unrestrained persecution. 7 "The whole earth is at rest and is quiet; They break forth into shouts of joy. 8 "Even the cypress trees rejoice over you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, 'Since you were laid low, no tree cutter comes up against us.' 9 "Sheol from beneath is excited over you to meet you when you come; It arouses for you the spirits of the dead, all the leaders of the earth; It raises all the kings of the nations from their thrones. 10 "They will all respond and say to you, 'Even you have been made weak as we, You have become like us. 11 'Your pomp and the music of your harps Have been brought down to Sheol; Maggots are spread out as your bed beneath you And worms are your covering.' 12 "How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations! 13 "But you said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north. 14 'I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.' 15 "Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol, To the recesses of the pit. 16 "Those who see you will gaze at you, They will ponder over you, saying, 'Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms, 17 Who made the world like a wilderness And overthrew its cities, Who did not allow his prisoners to go home?' 18 "All the kings of the nations lie in glory, Each in his own tomb. 19 "But you have been cast out of your tomb Like a rejected branch, Clothed with the slain who are pierced with a sword, Who go down to the stones of the pit Like a trampled corpse. 20 "You will not be united with them in burial, Because you have ruined your country, You have slain your people. May the offspring of evildoers not be mentioned forever. 21 "Prepare for his sons a place of slaughter Because of the iniquity of their fathers. They must not arise and take possession of the earth And fill the face of the world with cities." 22 "I will rise up against them," declares the LORD of hosts, "and will cut off from Babylon name and survivors, offspring and posterity," declares the LORD.

Doc, You stated: "It depends. Sometimes stars are just stars." It depends on what? Did you refer to the scriptures that I provided? Were you making a reference to these? - Re 12:4 And his tail *swept away a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child. Isa 14:12 "How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations!

398 | names | Rev 2:17 | Reighnskye | 135685 | ||
Indeed, names were commonly used in ancient times to express a person's character or identity. Nonetheless, I also believe that we have a spiritual identity in Christ, and that we each have our own unique spiritual names (in contrast to our earthly names), which describes who we are more articulately in higher divine language than what any mortal tongues can master. Our spiritual names are not utterable in any mortal tongue, and we will not discover our true spiritual names until we are seated in full glory with Christ. At such time, our earthly names and identities will fade away, due to their temporal nature. Hence, I no longer so much wish to know you as Johnny, Timmy, Sally or Sarah, insofar as these are merely earthly designations. Nor do I wish to designate you as "murderer, adulterer, thief, idolater", etc., insofar as God is not a respecter of persons or earthly identities. That's not who we are spiritually. These are not our names and designations, except it be on an earthly (non-spiritual) level. But it is best for us to become spiritually focused, and see past our own earthly designations and those of others as well. - Blessings, Reighnskye |

EdB, Here is possibly an earlier incident of where Satan fell from Heaven during Jesus' early ministry. - Luke 10 17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name." 18 And He said to them, "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning. 19 "Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you. 20 "Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven." (NAS95) - Had Satan already fallen from heaven at this time, or is Jesus moreso speaking prophetically here, in reference to the end times? - Blessings, Reighnskye |
