Bible Note: Continued................ We must read the Bible for 2 reasons: The first reason, which is now: Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; And the second reason, which is to come: Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. You said satan was thrown out of heaven in Rev 12:7, but he was cast down in Rev 12:9. You ask"what kind of war would that be?" Are you denying the war in heaven in Rev 12:7? I hope not. Can you please show me where it says in scripture that "he" satan "HAS" to come to earth to see what believers are doing in order to accuse them before God". This is not stated in the Bible, verbatim and is your intrepretation. Also, Please show me where he will only have three and one half years left to do his evil work. Matt 24:22 and Mrk 13:20, say the time was shortened for the elect who are still on earth during the tribulataion. Satan and his angels are not here, but when they get here they have only a short time. Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time." Where it says "woe to the inhabiters of the earth and sea," it is because he(satan) is on his way to earth where he hasn't been for a long time. To understand this one must understand the three heavenly woes. Rev 8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice," Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!" Regarding 2Thes2,I'm not sure why you mentioned it, because this chapter does not say the tribulation was shortened or that satan comes for the elect. 2Thes2 was written to the church of the Thessalonians because there was so much misunderstanding in regards to the first letter, which was 1Thes., regarding the order of the return of Christ and our gathering unto Him. CDBJ, satan is restricted defacto from earth at this time and you have not proven otherwise. Thanks for your questions. In Faith and Hope. Peace, Casiv |
