SPIRITUAL WARFARE II
THEME: THE DIVINE REDEMPTION MACHINE: OVERTHROWING THE SATAN-MAN ALLIANCE FOR THE GLOBAL REIGN OF CHRIST
THE SERPENT-EVE-ADAM ENCOUNTER IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN
- The Battle/Warfare: The serpent and the seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15)
- Man condemned as cast out of the Garden and prevented from the Tree of Life.
- Reconciliation/Remission of sin/Salvation implies rejection of “Satan-man” alliance in rebellious/disobedience of God. Jesus Christ rejects Satan’s offer of compromise being God on His own separate from The Father and from Return to Heaven (Matt. 4: 8-10; Luke 4: 5-8). Adam and Eve took Satan bait not Jesus Christ.
The beginning of man – only man who succeeded in total rejection and victory over Satan—the seed of the woman in victory (Gen. 3: 15).
- But the rejection of Satan is a declaration of war against Satan the Devil and all who accept to worship and follow Satan.
- The Satan-man alliance in rebellion and disobedience acting as God on earth.
- Man reconciled, redeemed and established in Divinity and glory on faith through faith (righteousness). Those willing, obedient and faithful to honor God as God alone on earth – Him alone to worship and serve—O Israel, the Lord thy God is One God.
- Such are restored to glory and given access to the Tree of Life to be God, with Triune God, but willing to live in subsidiary positions worshipping the high potent nevertheless, the spirit of obedience, humility, and total surrender of will and submission to God.
THE FOUNDATIONAL BLOCK OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE
THE MISSION AND GOAL
- To Overthrow the ‘Satan-man’ alliance, rebellion-cum-disobedience, and kingdom order on earth.
- To Deliver Men and Creation from the ‘Satan-man’ dominion, control, and kingdom Order on earth.
- Establish the Kingdom of God on earth, bringing man and creation under subjection and worship and reign and rule of God, so there will be one God alone, and the will of God be done on earth as in heaven—heaven and earth in union under One God, the Father.
THE STATE OF PERFECT PEACE, HARMONY, AND GLORY
The earth will be restored in glory – renewal/restoration of virtues and end to wrath and judgement of and restraints over both man, beast, land, and creation. Air, water, and sun in perfect harmony, freedom, and fullness of blessing (no more drought, famine, tornadoes, et al). land in fullness of virtues and earth in blossom. Decay and death totally eliminated.
THE NEW (SECOND ADAM) MAN
- Delivered from death, redeemed from corruptibility and mortality
- Put on fullness of perfection in Divinity and glory
- Granted access to the Tree of Life and entry into the Holy City not made with hands
- The end of serpent-seed of woman war
- Peace on earth
- Man, and creation, land, water, air, sun, restored to original fullness of blessing and glory
Man regains glory as God of the earth—serving as priest and kings to reign with Christ—yet the earth comes under full control of the Father and the Triune God. God Tabernacle on earth; His reign and rule of creation and earth no more in jeopardy.
THE ULTIMATE GOAL
- A New Man: Divine beings established in glory֫—man of peace, goodwill, knowledge, joy, and glory of God.
- A New earth: redeemed from the curse and the “Satan-man” dominion and control, renewed in virtues, blessedness, and glory
- No Satan: man, kingdom order
- A New Heaven: the heavens delivered from the working power and works of Satan, fallen angels, demons, elemental spirits, et al.
- No ‘zone area’ for Satan: the accuser/confusionist/contender. Satan contention in the heavenlies ended.
THE WARFARE SYSTEM/MACHINE
TWO REALMS: TWO SETS
1.THE ANGELIC HOSTS: in the heavenlies and death doing God’s bidding. The Legion in heaven given power to contend with Satan and his hosts in their bid and works of dominion and control of the heavenlies and earth.
- The Guardians: Archangel Michael in heaven, the angels guarding men, the angels that fight against spirits assigned by Satan to control peoples, tribes, nations, and creation on earth (cf Daniel 10).
- The Divine Redemption Machine: As seen in the “Wheels within Wheels” (Ezekiel 10:9-10).
2. THE HUMAN WAR MACHINE ON EARTH
The seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15)
- The Remnant: The church and people who have acknowledged God and rejected the “Satan-man” order on earth.
- The Life of Victory: Those who have yielded to the worship, obedience, and service of God, Living and walking by His will, law, commandments, knowledge, wisdom, and counsel.
- The Contrast with Old Israel: Israel, as a nation after Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, was not given the Divine power to fight the battles as such. God had to fight those battles Himself with His angelic hosts; Israel’s role was to walk strictly in the laws and commandments.
THE CHURCH: A DIFFERENT PROPOSITION
A NEW MAN: A Divine order granted Divine Power to contend with Satan and declare life and liberty to man, creation, nation, peoples, and world on earth.
- Regenerated: Born anew in Christ Jesus.
- Anointed: Endued with power from the Holy Spirit.
- Equipped: Armed with divine power, spiritual gifts, and weapons of warfare; operation with and accompaniment of the Holy Spirit.
- Authorized: Granted authority and power through Christ over the earth
- Keys of Jurisdiction: Granted the KEYS to the Kingdom of heaven.
The Church: The People, Servants, Soldiers, and Army of the Lord, established for God’s Kingdom Reign and Rule on earth.
CHRIST JESUS THE MESSIAH, COMMANDER IN CHIEF
- Universal Sovereign: He is God, King, Lord, and Governor of every nation and the entire earth.
- Ecclesiastic Head: He is the Head and Master of the Church.
- The King of Glory: He is the embodiment of King of Glory
- The Source of All Authority: All authority and power given Him to raise government and establish the Kingdom of God on earth and of His Kingdom there is no end.
