Demonology
Now, anyone whose understanding of God is grounded in science, theology, history, religion, philosophy, poetry, etc. usually will argue these scriptures to no end. With those individuals it seems that science, theology, history, religion, etc. takes precedence over spiritual understanding.... When in reality those things should be subject to the Spirit. For God seeks those who will worship Him in Spirit and in truth. One cannot know God unless they go through the avenues of His Spirit. In doing so they must acknowledge the things of the spirit and the spiritual realm, because God is Spirit (John 4:24). So I believe that those whose minds are already sternly made up, and those who have no other intention than to argue have no part in this. This post clearly isn't for them. It is however for those that are tender-hearted, and honestly seeking the Lord with all their heart, mind, spirit....with everything they've got, even to the exclusion of their immediate understanding.
Paul said to put on the entire armor of God. I take what he said very seriously, because I believe we are at war. I'm not talking about a physical war, but a spiritual war. The church is, or should be fighting for the souls of families, loved ones, and even its enemies. I have had a few spiritual battles myself so I know for myself that these things are real... Jesus said all power is given unto me in heaven and earth.(Mathew 28:18) All power belongs to him. And the scripture promises nothing by any means shall hurt you.(Luke 10:19) I give unto you power, over all of the power of the enemy and nothing by any means shall harm you. That's the promise of Jesus. That comes from the highest authority in heaven and earth. We cannot be defeated. Now, the only people that will be defeated, are those that decide to be defeated.
Now to understand the full picture of who and what we're fighting we have to go back to the beginning. The question must be asked, who or what are these demons we're fighting? Personally, I have been convinced that demons are the disembodied spirits of a race of beings that existed on earth before Adam ever walked the planet. Before anyone passes judgment, let me explain why I believe this.... It's a lot of information and it will take a few minutes to grasp the full picture. As I've stated before, some believe demons to be fallen angels. I do not because as you will see in the scripture, angels are heaven bound, demons are earth bound. As you'll see in the scripture, angels have bodies. Demons seek bodies and the scripture puts a clear difference between the two. Demons are numbered in the millions possibly billions. Their abode today is a place called the Pit. (Revelation 9)
In Genesis 1:1,2
1 In the beginning God created the heaven, and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Verse one is perfection. Verse two is destruction. The original Hebrew reads heavens instead of the KJV heaven. And the earth was.... Big question on the Hebrew word was. Because the Hebrew word was has two meanings in Hebrew. It means was and it also means became. So on the Hebrew word was/became lies the question, is the earth six thousand years old or is it older. If you believe that the earth is six thousand years old you probably do not believe there was a race before Adam. If you believe as I do that the earth is in the many millions of years old as scientists have proven over and over again, then you have to come to the conclusion that there is a great time between Genesis 1 and 2. Because verse one is perfection, and the bible says that when God created the heavens and the earth he created them perfect. (Isaiah 45:18) The Lord did not create the world in vain. (Deuteronomy 32:4) States God's work is perfect. (Ecclesiastes 3:11) Also says God's work and ways are perfect. (Psalm 18:30) Speaks the same, God's work is perfect. God cannot create an earth that is not perfect. Something happened between verse one, and verse two. Because verse two says the earth became without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep... something caused it to become.
Before God created the heavens (there are three which I'll talk about in a minute) and the earth, He created the angelic hosts. (Job 38:4-7) God created the angels before He created the world. The angels were present with Him. (Colossians 1:16) Now the scriptures tell us that God gave the earth to a very powerful angel called Lucifer, Daystar, Light Holder is the meaning of his name. God gave the earth to an angel whom He called Lucifer , under whom were one third of all the angelic hosts. And he with that one third of all angels ruled over the earth and its inhabitants. Read what the bible says about Lucifer in (Isaiah 14:12.) Lucifer who ruled this earth was a perfect angel. He was not always satan. He was a perfect angel of God. And the scripture says he looked up and saw God and became jealous. Jealousy therefore is the first recorded sin in the bible. In his jealousy he invades heaven and is cast out of heaven. The word of God tells us clearly, that Lucifer was cast out of heaven. Jesus says in (Luke 10:18) I saw satan fall from heaven like lightning. When did He see him fall from heaven like lightning? In Genesis when he was dethroned, when he was cast out, between Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 according to Isaiah 14. The word of God also tells us in (Ezekiel 28:12.) In these scriptures satan is being addressed. Notice in verse one the prince of Tyrus is being addressed, that's the anti-christ.... from verse one right through to verse eleven. From verse 12 and on it's satan that's being addressed. The king of Tyrus not the prince of Tyrus.
Ezekiel 28:12-16
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.
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Remember Lucifer is a created angel (Job 38) tells us that. But when God created him he was created perfect. The word of God said he was in Eden the garden of God. This is clearly a pre-adamic Eden that existed prior to Adam. The bible says every precious stone was his covering, he was covered with jewelry. Sardius, topaz, diamond, beryl, onyx, jasper, sapphire,emerald, carbuncle, and gold. The bible says he was a walking talking orchestra... the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Imagine an angel covered in jewels, and when he spoke an entire orchestra talked.... God created tabrets and pipes in his being when he created him. Now the word of God goes on to tell us...
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth;
Archangels are the leading and waring angels. Now as Lucifer led a third of the angelic hosts (which also rebelled with him) we can see that scripture points to him being an archangel. But he was given the office (if we can call it that) of a Cherub, whose job is to protect the glory of God. It helps tremendously to have understanding of these scriptures so that we understand who we're fighting today. The scripture says that Lucifer is the only angel that had two offices. The scripture says that he was an archangel with the office of a cherub. No angel had two offices like that. Thou art the anointed cherub that covers.... even though he was an archangel, he had the office of a cherub that protected the glory. Also, no other angel in heaven was anointed but Lucifer. The anointing never came upon Gabriel or Micheal. People forget that Lucifer was anointed for millions of years, so he understands the anointing and can defeat the anointed if they're ignorant. The word of god also says this,
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Think about an angel so close to the throne of heaven that he would walk up and down the stones of fire mentioned in (Exodus 24)
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Now what was his sin? It says in verse 16...
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned.....
What was this merchandise? Verse 18 says that he defiled his sanctuaries therefore he was a priest as well. By the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic... think about that word traffic. So what was his iniquity? It was this... His office or job was to take the word of God and give it to the inhabitants of the earth and to the angels that ruled with him. He was to take the praise of the inhabitants and angels to God. He was the mediator between God and the race that existed on the planet before God ever created Adam. What he did, was rather than give the word of God to the inhabitants of the earth he corrupted the word and twisted it. Rather than giving the praise of the Earth to God he kept it. That is what is meant by your traffic. That is what God meant, 16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned..... You have corrupted the word, and kept the praise... and sin entered into his heart. The moment that happened, the moment sin entered into his heart, then Jesus said I saw satan fall from heaven like lightning. When satan fell to the Earth millions of years before Adam was created, the Earth was destroyed in a split second. Mentioned in (Job 9, Jeremiah 4, and Isaiah 24.)
2 And the earth became without form and void.... how? When Lucifer fell to the earth as lightning from heaven God unleashed great wrath upon the earth. This wrath was unlike anything any creature had ever seen. The scripture says in
Jeremiah 4:23 -27
23 I beheld earth, and, lo, it was without form and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24 I beheld the mountains and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger.
27 For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
Verse 23 is a picture of Genesis, but here we are given additional information. This is the result of the fierce anger of the Lord. In verse 27 the Lord says that this isn't over. I'm going to renew. I think this is amazing. Jeremiah saw cities broken down. What cities broken down... when the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep? There's more information....
Isaiah 24:1
1 Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants therof.
What inhabitants? The earth turned upside down and destroyed with inhabitants scattered? This has to be pre-adamic. We were never told anything about the earth being destroyed or turned upside down...This has not happened anywhere since man has walked the earth, neither do the scriptures say anything about this happening in the future. The flood of Noah's day destroyed humanity, but not the whole earth. The bible tells us something else as well. This same earth that was destroyed was also flooded at the same time!
Psalm 104:5-7
5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed forever.
6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the water stood above the mountains.
7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
This flood had to be rebuked to be removed. This is not the flood of Noah's day. Noah's flood was never rebuked. The pre-adamic one was. Also, look at Job 9. When the Lord destroyed the earth because of the fall of Lucifer, he also destroyed the heavens around it. He sealed up the sun. He sealed up the stars. This answers my questions about dinosaurs, things scientists have discovered, things that can be seen in museums today. Dinosaurs existed no question about it. In fact, they are mentioned in Job. Scientists have proven the earth is many millions of years old.... Years ago I heard about a prehistoric mammoth found frozen in Siberia with food frozen in its mouth. How did that happen? It's explained in Job. Now you have to understand, God is angry. Lucifer had just invaded heaven and was thrown out. The earth destroyed in a split second. Jeremiah 4:23 says the Lord destroyed it with fierce anger. Isaiah 24:1 says God turned it upside down! And Job 9 says...
Job 9: 5-8
5 Which removeth the mountains, and the know not; which overturneth them in his anger;
6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble;
7 Which commandeth the sun and it riseth not; and sealest up the stars;
8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
When God judged the earth and sealed the heavens, dinosaurs died. Life on earth died. He was so angry mountains were turned upside down. The earth was shaken out of place. Flooded in an instant Psalm 104. He sealed up the sun and stars in heaven verse 7 says. And the earth froze in a split second. That prehistoric elephant was having lunch at the time. They call it the ice age. Scientists are still trying to figure out what happened, and it's all in the bible. The bible gives you everything you need to know. It reveals itself to those blessed with the eyes to see, the ears to hear, and a heart willing to believe. You really don't need to go anywhere else. After many millions of years, God begins the work of restoration in verse 8 which is mentioned in Genesis 1:3 and on. It took all of this to give you the full picture. Genesis 1:1 happened possibly millions of years ago, Genesis 1:2 the same. Genesis 1:3 only six thousand years ago. Where we see God saying let there be light. Notice the word let. The word let is not a word of creation, it is a word of permission. The first thing God does is restore the atmosphere Genesis 1:8. It says he took the waters from the waters... he restored the atmosphere. He gathered the waters into one place later, it was flooded...
He restores the heavens. There are three not one. The third heaven was untouched that's God's habitation. The two other heavens were destroyed in the act of judgment. The first heaven is our atmosphere Genesis 1:8. The second heaven is now the dwelling place of all principalities and powers.(Ephesians 6) Ephesians 1:20-21 and 2 Corinthians 12:2 Paul says he was caught up to the third heaven. The scripture says that Jesus is above all principalities and powers in the heavenlies. Lucifer invaded the third heaven and was cast out. Millions of years later God begins the work of restoration at which time Lucifer is already satan on the earth. His demons already loose on the earth. God restores earth, creates man and says this to him. I give you dominion, now subdue the earth. Subdue from whom? Who was rebelling? The fish, the dogs, the lions, the birds? The animals were all in perfect harmony. Subdue the earth tells me there was already an enemy there. Check Genesis 1, its all in the bible.... if you have trouble believing look it up for yourself. God told them in Genesis 1 to replenish the earth. If God says replenish that means it was full once, now its empty.... fill it up again. Its the same thing he said to Noah, replenish. Isn't that right? He said the same thing to Adam. Then he said subdue the earth. Subdue means there's an enemy loose. Keep him under control. Now God gives man the office that Lucifer had, and more. Needless to say, satan takes this personal.
Paul said to put on the entire armor of God. I take what he said very seriously, because I believe we are at war. I'm not talking about a physical war, but a spiritual war. The church is, or should be fighting for the souls of families, loved ones, and even its enemies. I have had a few spiritual battles myself so I know for myself that these things are real...
