Subject: Dear Doc Isa 14:8 |
Bible Note: Dear Doc, Another passage is Isaiah 14:4 as some scholars state that in scripture when the prophet was speaking of "a king" over a nation it refers to the demonic force controlling the "prince" which we would call a king on earth, of that nation. The scripture many times speaks of a natural kingdom and the spiritual kingdom that controls that kingdom..The criteria of that statement is Ro 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom you eield yourselves servants to obey his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness. Do we agree that satan is the author of sin as Jesus is the author of faith? In that context all of mankind is either serving God or satan. That also agrees with Eph 2:1-3 with the descriptive terms used for satan as "prince of the power of the air", "the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience", these children are also called "the children of wrath" which I discern are those who have obeyed satan "also called wrath," rather than God. We realize the battle between God and satan is the battle for the minds, wills and emotions, or souls of mankind. Isaiah 14:4 (knowing that satan is the oppressor)in the spiritual realm, and the ruler of Babylon was obeying him, we realize that Isa 14:8 is talking about the final defeat of satan,"Since you are laid down, no feller (human being) is come up against us." II Tim 3:16 tells us ALL scripture is given by inspriation of God....so whatever is written is given directly from God's throne, whether it was spoken from the lips of Jesus or inspired by The Holy Spirit or written by the writers of the Old and New Testaments. God is eternal and he had the whole book written over centuries by different "pencils" aka known as prophets, priests and kings, apostles etc. Of course you are right, it was not a direct quote from Jesus, but by the inspirataion of God through Peter, when he went under God's direction to the house of Cornelius, and the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word..Acts 10:44..and part of that word was Acts 10:38. Peter was on his mission commanded of God, and he was reciting the works of God, "how GOD anointed Jesus with THE HOLY GHOST and POWER who went about doing good and HEALING all that were oppressed of the devil." Acts 10:38 Matt 4:23 and 9:35 states the three fold plan of the ministry of Jesus: Teaching, Preaching, and Healing. As we read the gospels these are the three things he did continually. He is our example and we are to do John 14:10, 12, Jesus declared that it was "the Father in me,..he doeth the works" then promptly states "He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do because I go to my Father." The church today is supposed to be doing these things like Jesus said, and to do that a person has to realize where the oppression comes from, and when satan is laid down, there won't be any more oppression. God is not the oppressor, mankind, without satan's influence, won't be fighting each other any more or oppressing according to Isa 14:8. C.S.M. |
