– Christ vs Satan –

To understand what is happening in our world, we must first grasp the cosmic battle the Bible says we are caught in, and we must understand the meaning behind Christ’s cross. Most people have heard of “the devil,” or the idea of God versus Satan. This universal controversy is often mocked in music, media, and books. At the same time, it is frequently misrepresented by religions. That is why it is so important to understand it rightly. Why is there a struggle between good and evil in which humanity finds itself at the center?

The Bible talks about a conflict that arose in heaven. A one supreme God, which is the highest authority in the universe. He created EVERYTHING that we know, He is the FATHER of everything and everyone, and thus, as the origin of life but also the preserver of all life, the only one who can sustain life, He is naturally the supreme leader and judge of everything. He is the one life cannot live without, and by that fact, He has the greatest value and naturally the greatest authority.

The cosmic conflict talks about a favored and well-positioned cherub, which is a special, most privileged office to hold in heaven, a protector standing close to God’s throne. The name of this guarding cherub was Lucifer. He was assigned to guard God’s throne, the throne of life, but started a rebellion against Him instead. Understand that God is not just any leader like we know them here on earth, He is the origin of all life. Not just the origin of life, but He is also the one who sustains and protects life, the guardian of life, as it cannot continue without His interventions. If He ceased to exist, if it were even possible, everything would cease to exist with Him. This is why no one can take His place, as all life depends on Him. An attack on God is an attack on everyone. It was because of this that Lucifer’s rebellion was so shocking. He attacked what he was created to protect and turned against his Creator and life-giver.

It is a bit like if an unborn fetus, just a few weeks old, rebelled against the mother whose womb he was still in, and tried to cut the cord. He would not develop or be born. He would die, but the mother would live.

The reason why Lucifer felt confident in his first rebellion was that he knew that God was merciful and that He would not silence the conversation. No one was silenced at that point. Everyone could speak freely. Although God absolutely had the power to be a dictator, He chose not to be. God did not judge in the dark, and He didn’t force worship of Himself. This gave Lucifer confidence that he could rebel without losing his life, as long as he could gain support on his side and form an alliance with others. Thus God would be pressured to be controlled. And Lucifer, through controlling and manipulating the life-giver, would be able to control life itself. He misinterpreted mercy for weakness.

The confidence we see in Lucifer’s attack on God shows much about God’s endurance and love for His creation. Lucifer knew full well that he could not remove God, so he directed his attack toward the one the Bible calls the Son of God. He wanted the position of, the influence of, or to be equal to Him, God’s only Son, the one who shared the very nature and image of God.
He wanted full insight into all of God’s dealings, just as the Son had. The heavenly host worshiped the Son together with His Father, for they were one. This is what Lucifer longed for, to be worshiped rather than to worship. It was jealousy.

Now, if you are not religious, the idea of worship might seem odd or even primitive. But I dare you to find a single person on this earth who does not have someone they look up to. Someone who inspired them, or whom they wanted to be like. In fact, without someone to admire and look up to, the world would not move forward. By beholding someone greater than ourselves, we ourselves move forward. If we love a higher ideal, we strive to follow that ideal.

The idea of worship, then, is not a far-fetched or primitive notion. I dare say it is what moves us forward. If the ideal before us is corrupt, and we follow it, we become corrupted. If it is good and honorable, we are lifted up by adoring it. There is no world that does not progress when beings, in humility, acknowledge something greater to strive for. Worshiping God, therefore, is equal to human progress—and it is a healthy sign. That is the intellectual argument. Adoring your Father, your Creator, and loving Him is the heart of worship. And that is the moral argument.

Lucifer wanted to be a god to others; he wanted to be praised rather than to praise. He wanted to be the ideal and for his ideas to be admired. Because God’s creatures can think and reason—for He did not create robots—Lucifer could choose the path of rebellion. When you create someone with free will and thought, you don’t control them. That is why God did not control what Lucifer was thinking, feeling, or doing. With free will comes full responsibility for it and for one’s own actions. You cannot have one without the other. The two principles belong together.

Lucifer may not have begun with an outright lie. Often, it starts with insinuation and speculation, and the more you dwell on your suspicions, the more true and noble they seem. Once he set down that path, pride and the fear of losing face followed, and then came lies to protect himself and his influence. To quiet his conscience, he first convinced himself that his lies were true, that his persistent attack on God was in everyone’s best interest. Yet the truth was that he was only protecting his own interest. Sin always involves lying to oneself.

Knowing this, God showed care and patience toward Lucifer. But God’s mercy only made Lucifer bolder in his attack. Was mercy an admission of guilt? He made it seem that way.

Lucifer then used his position to spread lies about God among the angels who were part of God’s government.

He insinuated that God was bad and that His motives behind His law and order were corrupt. They had never experienced anything like this, so at first, they did not know what to believe. When you plant doubts about someone, those doubts grow. It is like a seed.

Several times God tried to address the lies and tell everyone the truth, but Lucifer continued with his agenda. He wanted God’s government to be forced to rule according to his ideas of right and wrong. He wanted to pressure God. By controlling or subduing the life-giver, he believed he would naturally be in charge, or so he hoped.

But God could not allow that, for He knew where Lucifer’s ideas would lead. If God had permitted it, another “Lucifer” would soon rise to take his place, laws would forever be shifted and disrespected, and such rebellions would never end.

It would be exactly as we see on Earth today: always someone who thinks they can do it better, only to repeat the mistakes of those before them. Bloodshed and war.

If God is controlled, then God becomes a weapon in someone else’s hand, not a leader.

God could not run a world built on lies about Him. And because of Lucifer’s position as protector and guard by God’s throne, which was now under attack by the very guardian, God was forced to relieve him of his office. Lucifer could no longer serve as a guarding cherub, so he lost his position. This was the highest office anyone could hold under divinity. Not that God needed protection, but His principles, the foundation of His rule, did.

The Bible records that Lucifer convinced one-third of God’s angels to join under his banner in the battle against the Creator, to pressure Him. God’s choice not to immediately put an end to Lucifer’s scheme filled him with false confidence, and it soon erupted into open rebellion and war. Yet the majority of the angels remained on God’s side.

At first, Lucifer only lost his position because of his actions. You can’t have a backstabber protecting your back, this much should be evident to anyone. In view of this, God’s decision is perfectly understandable. Lucifer had made himself a god to the angels he had deceived and could no longer serve as God’s cherub. He wanted to elevate himself, yet instead he lost his rank, the very opposite of what he desired.

Now, Lucifer grew even more bitter. Instead of blaming himself, he blamed God.

Note that God did not silence Lucifer or stop him from making his accusations and lies. But because of them, God had to confront the issue and tell everyone the truth. This meant exposing Lucifer as a liar in front of those he wanted to adore him. It was humiliating, and from that moment pride and even more resentment were born.
The moment Lucifer ceased to have God as his role model, looking inward brought forth what we now call narcissistic traits, claiming to be the victim while being the one who harms. Anyone who has encountered a narcissist, or been on the wrong side of one, knows how difficult it is for others to see who is truly good and who is truly bad. The narcissist pretends to be the victim, convinces others of that story, and paints you as the villain. They are often charismatic, flattering, and persuasive, and when you tell the truth, few believe you, until they themselves fall victim. That is how difficult it is to expose a narcissist’s game. And this is similar to what happened in heaven. Everyone who rejects the guidance of the spirit will begin to develop what is known as narcissistic traits.

And so, the two sides the Bible speaks of emerged: Lucifer and the angels who joined him on one side, God and His angels on the other. The conflict drained heaven. Many did not know who to believe.

Lucifer succeeded in creating sympathy for himself. He convinced angels that he was only looking out for them, that his actions were for their sake and not for himself. He portrayed himself and them as victims, and God as the perpetrator. This is why everything became so confusing.

They had never experienced such behavior before. They could not comprehend that someone as beautiful, intelligent, and charming as Lucifer would lie and twist reality. God, meanwhile, was more mysterious. He was different in nature. He was the supreme authority. And for many, it was easier to direct their doubts toward Him. He was not one of them. He was unique.

However, if God were really as Lucifer claimed, Lucifer would have been struck down instantly. No one would ever have heard his lies to begin with. The very fact that they could listen to his accusations was already evidence that his accusations were false.

God warned other planets and their inhabitants against Lucifer’s deception. It is at this point that he begins to be called by the name Satan by God and the others. In English, Satan simply means: an opponent, someone who attacks.

Satan earned this name because he attacked God and the government of heaven. Lucifer had been a name given to him to match his task as a cherub. Lucifer means to shine, to give light. His role was to reflect the light that came from God’s throne to the angels. But to God, Lucifer was no longer doing that. He was no longer representing the light of God—he was leading others into mental darkness with his lies.

This is why God renamed him “the attacker.” Yet Satan still thinks of himself as a light-bearer. He still uses the name Lucifer and claims that his way is the way of illumination. His followers on earth also call their path enlightenment—except for the ignorant who dress in black and hail Satan directly. They do not understand him. Satan perceives himself as light and God as darkness. It is God who ties Satan to darkness, not Satan himself.

Lucifer claims you will be illuminated by rejecting God. God, on the other hand, claims that Satan’s path leads into darkness and destruction. The expressions are important, as we will see, because God often uses symbolic language.

When there is light, you can see everything—you see where you’re walking, and you can see who your God is. God claims He does not act in the dark, which stands in stark contrast to Satan’s claims. He calls Satan’s way darkness because when you walk in the dark you do not know where you are going or where you will end up. You are likely to stumble, and you can also hide your motives and actions from others.

In contrast, God says He does not hide His actions. He allows what He does to be investigated, and His works endure scrutiny.

Thus, darkness and light are really expressions of the two ways to live. If you have something to hide, you do it “in the dark,” so to speak. Even today, most violent crimes happen at night for this very reason. In daylight you fear being seen, caught, or stopped.

This was Satan’s prevailing strategy. Because his deeds were evil, he had to hide his motives and deny his wrongdoings. To act in secret. Satan knows that if he acts openly, he will be exposed immediately and rejected.

It is also called darkness because Satan himself did not know the end of his rebellion or where it would lead. He walks in darkness—and he can only offer others to do the same.

So, it’s not really about black versus white. Even though Lucifer claims his side is the light and that God’s side is the dark side, God says otherwise, and with good reason. It is important to understand this.

Many movies and series are made to illustrate the struggle between good and evil, and most of the time they are inspired by Satan’s version of the story, where he is the good one rebelling against an oppressive ruler. In this way, many are deceived by these films into thinking a certain way without even noticing they are being manipulated.

At first glance, it might seem that whenever good and evil are portrayed, it is to God’s advantage, describing the true battle between light and darkness. But in most series and films inspired by Satan, God is cast as the villain, and Satan, the rebel, is presented as the hero.

So God would no longer call him Lucifer. His name would be a lie, for he no longer brought enlightenment. Yet God did not destroy the opposition. Too much doubt had spread through the universe because of Satan’s lies about Him. God’s best chance to restore harmony in heaven, among the angels and the worlds, was to allow Satan to expose himself as a liar. This would be done by letting him live so that the deeds he had done in darkness could eventually be revealed. Otherwise, doubt would remain forever, and this sad situation would never truly end. After all, it is difficult to know who is lying when the liar is the one accusing the other of lying.

And as for destroying Satan and his angels—you have to remember that the other angels still cared deeply for them. They knew each other. They were companions. If Satan and his followers had been sentenced at this point, it would likely have led to fear, insecurity, and perhaps even a new rebellion. The doubt would only have grown worse: “Why did God silence Satan?” “Did God have something to hide?” and so on. It would have forced God into the darkness, as if He had something to conceal, had He destroyed Satan before or immediately after the rebellion. God refused to do that. He wanted the truth to come out, and for angels and people to make educated, enlightened choices.

God’s best option was to let Satan live and be exposed. If there was uncertainty as to who spoke the truth, then time would have to reveal the liar.

Many believe God is at fault for all evil because He let Satan live. But the truth is that once the ball of rebellion started rolling, it would not end with Satan, or anyone else, until all created beings had seen the course of rebellion from start to finish. They had to know, to understand, and to agree. God needed their support to maintain peace. He cannot create peace alone, not because He is not all-powerful (He truly is), but because God is not a dictator. He does not suppress; He inspires and leads.

Satan’s rebellion did not force God to change His style of government. Another’s sin does not change God’s morals. He will not limit freedom just because Satan abused his. If He had, then Satan would, through his sin, have succeeded in controlling God.

But what did not work on God, Satan has succeeded in achieving with the governments of earth.

We were the only planet to join him in his rebellion.

Adam and Eve, the first humans to inhabit our planet and who were given authority to rule the earth, were actually warned.

God did not stop Satan from telling them lies. Instead, He told people to be on alert and to evaluate, to use their free will to choose what is right.

If we were the only planet that joined the rebellion, it gave the rebellion more weight. Satan’s accusations might even have seemed to make sense somehow. But all the other planets remained with God, and they are now happy and thriving societies. They stand today as a living contrast to our own planet, led by Satan. We may not see it, but the universe does.

Satan came to trick Adam and Eve. He caused them to doubt God, to

Satan came to trick Adam and Eve. He caused them to doubt God, to doubt whether He could be trusted. He implied that God made rules to elevate His own pride rather than to care for them. But in truth, those were Satan’s own traits and motives for wanting to be like God. He was the guilty one.

Often when something wrong manifests inside us, we begin to see others through that same lens. A person who cheats suspects others of cheating, or claims that everyone secretly desires to cheat. Satan likely looked at God this way, suspecting in Him what was really in his own heart. But that did not make it the truth.

Once Adam and Eve allowed this doubt into their hearts and minds, Satan urged them to become gods themselves, to serve their own interests just as he claimed God served His. He tempted Eve to pursue being like God, just as he himself had once desired. Sadly, she followed his advice.

Satan used a serpent to deceive because it served as visual evidence for his claims. If an animal under Adam and Eve’s rule suddenly became more intelligent than they were simply by eating the fruit of the tree, it made them feel vulnerable if they did not eat as well. Would they lose control if they refused?

While Satan suggested that God feared them becoming more knowledgeable and like Him, he disguised himself as a creature under human rule who had supposedly risen to human intelligence. The deception had many layers. This was just one of them. He stirred doubt and suspicion, then told them to protect themselves by elevating themselves. He made following the urge appear both rewarding and safe.

Although both Eve and Satan made an attempt to become like God, their motives were different. Satan did it to glorify himself above God. Eve did it because she had been led to believe that God did not wish her well. She would not have done it had she not been misled about God and deceived by the lie. Hers was not an act of malice, and so God had sympathy for mankind.

However, doubt had now become part of human life as mankind multiplied. Why would God not just forgive and forget? Why such a severe punishment? Why were they under condemnation? Was God correct, or was Satan?

When you have done something wrong, it is very common to try to put the blame elsewhere, to defend it, or even to reason it away. It is how we justify ourselves. It is how we manage to live with ourselves and still feel good, even after doing wrong.
But this human need to justify sin gave Satan and his angels a foundation to work on. Here Satan found a place where his words were welcomed, where people joined in mocking and rebelling against God. No longer welcome anywhere else, this planet became their home base from which they would press their case against God’s rule.

Satan had perhaps first hoped to create his paradise on earth, showing the brilliance of his principles. But he soon found mankind hard to manage, often spiraling into more evil than even he had foreseen in the beginning.

They then used human misery, the result of their own rule, as evidence against God, hoping to win more beings in the universe to their side. Their goal was to outnumber those on God’s side and pressure Him to reinstate Satan and his angels.

As many think, and as some religions even preach, God forced Satan to live here on our planet, and thus the first humans sinned by having to share the planet with the rebellion while they still had not sinned. This, however, is not the case. Satan went around trying to convince many. The earth was one of the places. And they were already warned, which is why Satan disguised himself.

Satan’s freedom of speech had remained. However, the Bible tells us that after he tried to physically wage war against heaven, he was confined to Earth, imprisoned here together with us, him and his angels. They were, in a way, put in prison, awaiting judgment along with the people he had fooled into following him.

Now, it took quite some time before God chose to restrain him here. God needed the rest of the inhabitants of the universe to agree to his imprisonment. He waited until there was no doubt in their minds, until they agreed. According to Revelation 12, not until Christ was crucified was this doubt completely gone from the inhabitants of heaven. Satan had killed the one who once took part in creating him, his own Creator.

As soon as Jesus took upon Himself human flesh and became mortal, Satan attacked Him relentlessly, knowing He was His life-giver.

The contrast between Satan’s hate and selfishness and God and His Son’s love was so great that there was no doubt anymore. Christ degraded Himself to uplift others. Satan degraded others to lift himself up. Christ was moral and fought fairly. Satan fought dirty and immorally.

In fact, God had given Lucifer freedom of speech even after his rebellion. God did not take his life, but let him live and make his accusations openly. Even when he persuaded one-third of God’s angels, God did not silence him.

And in all this, Satan could portray himself as the weak and persecuted one, and God as the strong oppressor. But God is wise and led him to expose himself. When God became flesh through His Son, human flesh in what had now become Satan’s world, Satan revealed his true principles.

He took from Christ the right to speak freely in what he considered his domain. He sought to silence God living as a human and would not permit Christ to win followers. Finally, Satan pushed his people to torture and kill Christ.

This is why all doubt was removed in heaven. Satan had shown himself to be exactly what he accused God of being. He did to God what God never did to him when the rebellion began. For thousands of years God endured Satan’s deceptions and accusations with patience. Yet Satan could not tolerate Christ speaking for even three and a half years. He even tried to kill Jesus as soon as He was born, before He had spoken a word. Throughout His life, Christ lived under threat.

As the roles were reversed, and God’s Son became the weaker part by coming into this world—“made lower than the angels”—Satan revealed his true face, and his lies were exposed for all to see. His rebellion was not about freedom; it was about his desire to exalt himself. He did not love his followers. He had accused God of being unforgiving, but when mankind was offered pardon, he tried to take it away from them.

And with his death sentence upon God’s Son and His followers came his own death sentence.

Just as God had prophesied when humanity fell: “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel” (Gen. 3:15). The Messiah, coming as a man, crushed the head of Satan, his arguments, his accusations, his lies. By Christ’s entry as a man into His enemy’s territory to save mankind, Satan could no longer hide his true nature. His hatred was fully manifested as he sought to destroy the very One who had once given him life, patience, and mercy.

It is written in Revelation 12:12 that heaven rejoiced when God decided to confine Satan and his angels to earth. They did not want him to come before them anymore. And imagine this: Eve was tempted to try to become like God, yet God’s Son gave up His divine nature and became her very descendant. In the flesh—even lower than her—as the human body and abilities had already degenerated severely. The One who had given her life accepted becoming her descendant. He truly degraded Himself to save the very people who had rebelled against Him, all while exposing Satan’s real agenda and nature.

Why Can’t We See The Angels?
So, why can’t you see the good and the bad angels? Angels are created differently from humans. They are a different species of sorts. They can shapeshift, travel very fast, appear as humans, and even imitate the voice and face of departed family members (similar to a human deepfake, only far more convincing). They can also control other beings if they choose to abuse their position. They are more advanced than humans.

The angels were, in a sense, God’s police force in the universe but in a good way. Because there were no crimes, they mostly helped God care for all things. But now, when one-third of them have gone bad, the traits He had given these beings, their nature which was made for good, are used for evil.

They can do things that we cannot, things we would consider supernatural. They are not limited by some of the forces of nature that bind us. They follow other scientific laws. This is why there is so much supernatural activity on our planet, because they are performing their tricks. They can make you float; they can move items without you seeing them, and so on. They can literally take control of your mind and body.

However, God does not permit them to do so unless you, by your own choice and action, have opened yourself to it willingly. You can choose to let them possess you by inviting them in.

God’s faithful angels are not allowed to use their powers to possess people. God does not force people’s will; it is against God’s principles to do so. Therefore, when someone is possessed, even if they claim it is the Spirit of God, it is not. God’s Spirit does not possess, only the fallen angels do, because they no longer follow the rules God originally set for them.

An angel that possesses a human being and takes from them their free will is in rebellion.

Unless we are talking about taking control over a person for a short moment to save someone’s life or to intervene when something bad is about to happen. For instance, to stop you from crossing the road when a truck is about to hit you. In those types of incidents God’s angels can momentarily interfere to help you, and that is in part why they have these powers. But this is not the same as taking someone’s free will.

There is a difference between an emergency situation to save you or someone else and mind control. When you are possessed you cannot easily make your own choices, because another power is paralyzing your mental and physical capacity. Throughout time, cults and tribes have made contact with Satan’s angels, seeking possession in order to gain power and wealth. Satan and his angels have made prosperous deals with many humans in return for power and control over them.

It was for good that the angels were given these abilities in the first place. But now, in the case of Satan and his angels, they are used for evil. They break God’s laws for angels and force people’s will.

In many churches today you will see people being “possessed” of sorts, with what they claim is God’s Spirit. They shake uncontrollably, are thrown to the ground by an invisible force, and similar events occur. Miracles seem to happen in a setting of oppression. These events are never caused by the Spirit of God, and this is evident in how people are treated.

Others claim God is a voice in their head, forcing or threatening them to kill others. Again, this is not of God. God does not force people to commit crimes. There are Christians who follow a voice in their head that suppresses, hurts, and creates apathy, this is not God’s Spirit.

Although heaven rejoiced when Satan and his followers were confined to earth, they also pitied the people who were now stuck with them. Satan is angry, and he takes it out on those he can. He is the father of narcissism, with long experience in making bad people look good and good people look bad.

The Heavenly Court – Intergalactic justice

So, why doesn’t Christ take over the earth straight away? The reason is that God does not judge alone. From the Bible we learn that in the heavenly court there are thousands upon thousands observing and working with God’s judgments. We are talking about many millions of beings in the courts of heaven (Dan. 7:9–12). That is a great court.
God does nothing in the dark; everything is open to investigation. Although our planet is in quarantine, no final death sentence is pronounced on anyone until all the cases have been reviewed and considered. This includes every effort to save the lost.

Because this work concerns mankind, the Bible tells us that God has gathered faithful human representatives from every generation and nation here on earth to oversee the process that is still ongoing in heaven. They have been brought to heaven for this purpose (Revelation 4:4; 5:9–10; 5:11).

It is a literal, real legal proceeding that is taking place. Only when everyone’s case has been carefully reviewed in a fair way will the sentencing—the execution of the judgment—begin. In God’s world, every life is so precious and unique that nothing is done lightly. Not even we can fully grasp the value heaven places on each individual life.

We are accustomed to treating each other badly, viewing others as obstacles, or with jealousy. We are used to death and destruction. But heaven values each individual life, and every case is reviewed thoroughly.

For the sake of justice and for our protection, God openly declares that His court system does not work like many human courts. God cannot be bribed, He does not show favor through trade agreements, and He is not intimidated by fear tactics. He cannot be fooled. No one can make a false claim against you and have you wrongly convicted in the courts of heaven, because He has access to all the information. You cannot flatter Him to gain advantages, and you cannot buy your way out with any amount of money.

This point is explained several times in the Bible: God is a righteous Judge.

This strict security for fairness in God’s court of law is for your benefit and for everyone’s.

And this is why the proceedings in heaven must take time.

Meanwhile, those who rebel by following Satan’s lead and God’s people are stuck living together here on earth. In theory, both can win each other over to the other side. God accepts if someone no longer chooses Him, and He lets them make that decision freely. Satan, however, does not accept people going over to the other side, and he will try to stop them. If bribery, success, or flattery do not work, he attacks. He will turn family against them, get them fired, ruin their economy—basically use anyone who is usable to afflict that person with pain and suffering until they blame God and return to the one who was really behind it.

The Bible says he makes war against them in every possible way. Anyone who turns from Satan’s side to God’s side will experience all of Satan’s dirty tricks in full force. The more involved with him or his side you have been, the more severe the battle and hatred on his end. He will try to crush you, even whisper to you to kill yourself. He is friendly only to those who do his bidding.

This again shows the contrast between God and His accuser.

Christ has asked His followers to try to save as many people as possible. He says all humans are family, and we are responsible for trying to reach and save our own people. When God and the angels work so hard, our indifference toward our fellow man is not fitting. God wants us to love one another and help save one another.

God understands that many have been lied to and deceived, and He wants to give them a second chance. He proclaims in the Bible that He does not want anyone to perish. If it is possible to save everyone, He will. He loves people and sees them as His children who have gone astray and whom He longs to rescue.

This makes the earth a spiritual war zone unlike anything ever seen in the universe. It is a spiritual battle, with angels on both sides working against each other to win over humans. One side wants to save them; the other wants to use them as weapons and arguments for its own case.

God wants to win humans back because He has a spiritual, unseen bond with every single one of His created beings, and He cares for them. He knows their hearts and thoughts, and His Spirit has given them life. Mankind was once created in God’s image.

Satan, however, selfishly wants to win humans only to hurt God and try to prove himself right, hoping to gain more support from other beings in the universe. We are pawns in his drive for acceptance. He treats his pawns well as long as they serve his purpose, but when they no longer can, he disposes of them and throws them away like garbage. Your value to him exists only when you serve his purpose. He may offer you money, position, and recognition in return.

This is his last chance to live, and to harm God he must make the rebellion grow on a universal level. He is trying to pin his own evil here on earth upon God and blame Him—and us—for everything.

The Last Battle
So, on to the final stage of this confrontation that is soon to take place.

If you stand on God’s side, you are considered God’s ally, and therefore Satan’s enemy. To be a citizen of God’s kingdom while living in this world at the same time is a great challenge. God has advised His people through Scripture that although He expects us to be obedient to His moral laws, we should also obey the laws of the land. This is in order to have as much peace as possible in a world run by His enemy, as long as those laws do not force you to break God’s moral laws.

If the laws of the land tell you to steal, God tells you to disobey them and obey Him instead. But where they are not in conflict, for our peace’s sake, we are to obey them and avoid as much conflict as possible.

The devil does not want God’s people to live in peace under his rule. He considers them his enemy because they are on God’s side and they expose his lies. Even though he cannot physically harm God anymore, he can still harm His people here on earth. Furthermore, he sees this planet as his territory.

Christ, who has all the rights to the planet, says He will give it to His people who are loyal to the courts in heaven, in other words, loyal to God. This means that the people of Christ shall inherit the earth. Hence, God’s faithful people here on earth are the ones with the rights to the earth together with Christ.

This in turn means they are competition for Satan and his angels and are subject to their hatred. They feel it should belong to them because they are chosen by the majority of people in the world. And if Satan convinces the whole world, he thinks he can make his case that God cannot sentence him. Satan knows very well that all governments and powers in heaven and in other places are aware of what is going on here.

---

However, Satan has committed so many crimes that God must judge him. The whole universe now wants to see him judged. Those who once had doubts are now asking God to judge him for the sake of peace, for all the blood spilled and souls lost through his deception and mental violence. He has gained people’s acceptance and sympathy by lying: pretending to be a Christian to the Christians, a Jew to the Jews, a Muslim to the Muslims, a pagan to the pagans, and an atheist to the atheists. His rule is based on deception and lies. Most people do not even know whom they are following. Thus, God must end Satan’s rule because it constantly violates the rights of mankind. He can no longer spare Satan without violating the rights of other beings.

So Christ is granted all the rights to the planet Earth in the heavenly courts, a ceremony recorded in the Bible. He is given it as a human who has not rebelled against God. Satan feels this is cheating, but all of heaven has already accepted it. Christ truly gave up His divine nature and became a real human being, with everything that entailed. He has been accepted in heaven as the human representative, and the earth’s rights are given to a human who has not rebelled against heaven.

And His people, His entire human family, are entitled to the earth and will inherit it through His sacrifice and merits. This especially makes God’s people a target, and God’s enemy has vowed to make them outcasts and strangers on the earth if he cannot kill them (Hebrews 11:36–40).

The last events before Christ’s coming.

Scripture has advised God’s people to submit to earthly governments as best they can while they wait for Christ to claim the earth. We are to be peacemakers here, good examples, ambassadors for heaven, and willing to agree with social organizational structures when they are good (Romans 13:1–2; Luke 9:53–56; John 18:10–11; Revelation 13:10). He wants us to take part in creating order, because chaos always brings suffering.

God’s people are not to encourage lawlessness where the strongest win and rule. Rather, they support governments that protect the rights of everyone and fight crime. These things are needed in a world full of criminals, where selfishness has become the norm. Order is necessary to restrain human urges that cause harm to others. Limiting people from harming others can only be done if there are consequences.

And so, God supports human court systems as a miniature of His own. Dealing with criminals is a good thing, and He does not want His people to oppose it, because we need it. However, there are occasions when God supports disobedience against governments (Exodus 21:24; Exodus 22:4–15; Leviticus 24:20–21). It is therefore important for a Christian to know when to obey—and when not to.

Therefore, Satan has and will continue to convince governments to make religious laws, or to unify religion and state, so that God’s people come into constant conflict with the authorities. He wants to force them to act rebelliously in order to create an argument for his own rebellion. He wants God’s people on earth to appear as the lawless ones, the difficult ones, a disruption of peace (Revelation 13:15–17; Daniel 3:15; Daniel 6:13; Esther 3:2–6; 2 Kings 1:9–10; 1 Kings 18:17; Acts 5:28–29; Revelation 13:15–17).

If a government is free from religion, God’s people can still live in peace, worshiping and obeying God in heaven while at the same time respecting human organizations and governments.

This is why Satan does not want a state free from religion and spiritualism, because such freedom allows God’s people to flourish through their example and preaching. It is therefore Satan himself who is behind the blending of apostate religion with government. In the Bible, such governments are compared to beasts. Satan is also behind the uniting of state and church. This may be a new thought to many, but it is true: Satan’s greatest weapon against God’s people is to bind state and religious laws together.

By urging governments to mix religion—or non-religion—into their legislation, Satan takes away God’s people’s freedom. He forces them either to choose the state’s laws over God’s laws in order to avoid trouble, or he has them judged as criminals, persecuted, and made to live a life of misery.

In Satan’s eyes, God’s people are criminals when they do not obey his laws here on earth.

And thus, Satan seeks to unify religious and anti-religious laws and states in one way or another. He does not necessarily need a Christian, Jewish, or Islamic state; he can also achieve this through an agnostic or atheist state. Communist and socialist states are known for putting pressure on God’s people and for advancing, normalizing, and enforcing pagan morals. If he can get the government to pressure God’s people in their loyalty to God’s moral laws, Satan wins.

This is the battle Satan wages against Christ and His people here on earth. He wants governments not just to fight crime but to interfere in people’s religious lives. Forcing a Christian doctor to perform an abortion under threat of losing his license and life’s work is one example. Forcing a church to wed same-sex couples is another. Schools teaching students there is no God and that the world came from an evolutionary process, and then forcing Christian students to accept the evolution theory in their academic work to pass, get a degree, or even find a job, is another.

Silencing the Bible, preachers, and conversion is his war against God.

Throughout time, God’s enemy has pressured God’s people by using different governments. The severe persecution by the Romans came after Rome made laws that conflicted with God’s, forcing people to choose between the Roman ruler or God. When they chose God, they were tried in Roman courts and executed. This is how Satan treats those he hates. He wants to make them miserable and, if possible, torture and kill them. The one holding this planet hostage is trying to kill those who, according to the records in heaven have the right to it.

If Satan can bribe you with riches and fame, he will do that first. If he can flatter you or anger you into joining his side, he will do that. If you defend him, he will give you honor. His triumph is greater if you leave God’s kingdom to join his rebellion. But those he cannot convince in that way he will attempt to destroy.

In the past, there was always a way to escape, new lands to go to and other kingdoms to take refuge in. In fact, God created the original state of Israel in Moses’ and Joshua’s day to be a land to protect His people, a place where they could flourish without Satan constantly interfering and sabotaging them. It was a free space for God’s people to live in peace. But because they began following the ways of the other nations, this place God had set aside for His people was destroyed, and His people were scattered.

As God’s true followers remain scattered without a land to protect them today, God has influenced governments to grant religious freedom to help His people. Satan has worked hard against this. Sometimes God has even moved His people to places where there is freedom for them.

Soon this will no longer be possible. Because of trade agreements, the UN, NATO, and other organizations where powers are united, there are now few places left to escape if you “rub them the wrong way.” Most countries now have governments that cause problems for anyone who wishes to honor God’s authority and keep His laws. It is said to be “dangerous and extreme behavior” to follow God’s culture.

A lot of power is unified today. Countries that don’t comply with internationally agreed standards are left under sanctions, pressured by being unable to trade goods on which all nations have become dependent. All economies are now reliant on good international relations, especially with the USA. “They cannot buy or sell unless they behave according to the agreed standard.” In this way Satan now works through the unification of the world under his direction.

But because mankind is intelligent, many would rebel against him if they knew what they were really fighting for. This is why Satan still goes undercover and works in the dark. All his calculated plans are disguised as good plans—plans to save the planet, save the climate, save people, save us all from calamities and wars. Satan himself instigates unrest so he can then offer peace plans that lead people to give him more control.

The unified “new world order” took shape during the World Wars, where Satan created his order out of his evil, and mankind was played. By being both the bad guys and the apparent “saviors” Satan could manipulate a new world order.

Satan is literally the king of false flag operations. He harms and then presents a cure—all to make you dependent on him and those who follow his lead. Like any narcissist, he wants codependency.

In the Bible, this is called the Mark of the Beast law, and it is mentioned in Revelation 14 as a global set of laws. It will be enforced first by the United States of America, and it will basically strip you of elementary human rights if you do not agree to respect these human laws that conflict with God’s laws (Revelation 13:14–18; 14:12; 19:19–20).

The irony? The Mark of the Beast law is said to be for the good of humanity, for peace and security, and, worst of all, many claim this law honors God. It is designed to appeal to both the religious and the irreligious. Therefore, God warns against what He calls “The Mark of the Beast.”

And notice: all the warnings in the book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible, are given by Christ Himself to His people still stuck on earth with Satan (Revelation 1:1; 12:12–13). He says, I am coming. And when the laws against His faithful are global He says, I will come and get you and take control of the impossible situation. There is nothing more His people can do at that time (Revelation 19:11–21; 20:1–3).

If the Bible has predicted it, why does Satan still carry out his plans as the Bible describes? This is a battle for this planet. Right now, it is all Satan has, and he wants full control so he can mount full resistance. Knowing that God does not rule without a vast legal system, he hopes to convince the rest of the universe to pressure God to let him keep the earth or to question God’s judgments regarding himself. He wants earth to gain independence from God’s angels and God’s courts. He demands withdrawal and the right to live her with his followers.

This is Satan’s last stronghold, he and his angels’ only hope of survival, that he can somehow prove his accusations against God are true to the heavenly world, that God is unreasonable, and that the earth should be granted to him.

He hopes to keep God away, but one problem remains. As long as God has a people on this earth, God will continue to intercede on their behalf.

And as long as Satan fights for it, he will attack through governmental forces those who have a right to the earth. God is simply foreseeing and warning His people that Satan will not stop what he has been doing all along. At this point, Satan goes in circles and repeats himself.

He wants to destroy God’s people and unite the world against God. Satan wants to make God’s people poor, mocked, and without influence to scare others from following their lead. Those who influence others the most, he wants dead.

Before the prophet Daniel, in the Bible, God’s angel declared when the end would come: “and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished” (Daniel 12:7). In other words, when they no longer have any influence.

Again, notice how gracefully God has treated Satan and his angels throughout time, and how terribly they have treated both God’s Son and His people in return. Satan is not the freedom fighter many think he is. He is the king of oppression, lies, and murder. Just as Jesus said, He called him “the father of lies” and a “murderer from the beginning” (John 8:44).

Satan describes God with his own characteristics because he no longer sees the possibility of someone not being like him. Because of Satan’s hunger for power and admiration, he assumes that is also God’s motive. He no longer understands love—only lust.

The devil has been planning this universal attack for a long time: by creating a society where trade is globalized, gathering most people in cities, making them uneducated in taking care of their own needs, and making them desperately dependent upon their governments for all things in life—turning governments into their gods. People cannot even own anything without paying taxes, so it can be taken from them if they lose the right to trade. Whether it is health, water supply, food, accepted education, or the ability to perform a profession, the net tightens.

He has separated families by pressuring mothers out of the home, leaving children to be taught only by society and norms Satan can control. Through porn and constant focus on sex, men are emotionally and physically detached from their wives. The institution of family is attacked on all sides and with all means, because a unified family is harder to manipulate. Even children are set up against their parents.

Satan has entangled everything with laws and regulations, forcing you to disrespect God if you want to thrive in society. It is ironic, since he was the one who in the beginning opposed God’s rules. Yet Satan’s world is overflowing with rules and regulations covering every aspect of life.

It turns out that when you tell people to live selfishly by their own lusts, there is no limit to the number of laws that must be created to accommodate them. People constantly invent new ways to be cruel and to hurt others. In response, governments demand more money to control these problems, which in turn leads to higher taxes.

In such a society, everyone has to pay for the violations of others. Everyone loses trust because of the dishonest. Everyone is suspected of evil and subjected to rules as though they will do harm—not only those who actually do evil.

This is why Satan’s way of ruling ultimately produces endless laws and tighter control, while God’s ways bring true freedom.

Not only on a governmental level, but the one who opposed God’s moral laws has also created a tangled jungle of rules, leaving us like “fish out of water” if ever left to fend for ourselves. We are shut out of most academic professions if we do not agree with his lies in our exams, reports, and work. From early on, he has worked on people’s minds through media, music, and even schools—teaching them to love what is bad and to hate what is good. He encourages people to abuse themselves and become trapped in different forms of addiction. Right now, the world is addicted to constant stimulation.

People strive to make a name for themselves, to gain recognition, and to feel complete. Pressured by the motto “you only live once,” they dread missing out on whatever pleasure their generation offers. He has taught them to give in to their passions to satisfy themselves and to worship self. He dangles the idea of happiness like a carrot in front of everyone, making them believe they must chase self-indulgence to reach a perfect state of happiness.

His final act, therefore, is made easy after doing all this groundwork. When laws are made that conflict with God’s laws, most people will choose to believe and love the lie (2 Thessalonians 2:9–12). And God’s people will be left in complete peril.

Those who have the right to the earth through Christ will have all their rights stripped away by Satan. The people who have not chosen salvation will try to rob those who have, taking away even their right to make a living on this earth.

Now, this is part of the reason Christ comes after the “Mark of the Beast law.” When God’s people are not even allowed to make a living under Satan’s rule if they remain faithful to God, the sin of both Satan and the people following him has become too much. They show no mercy, and so God will have no mercy on them anymore. For the sake of His people on earth, it is time for Christ to take control.

Christ is not an alien—He is now part of the human family. And in heaven we are told how leaders from earth, from every nation, are there agreeing with God and allowing Him to take charge:

“And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold… The four and twenty elders fall down before him… and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things” (Revelation 4:4, 10–11).

These are human ancestors of nations , representing mankind in heaven (Revelation 5:9). It is not God versus humans, humans have had a say all along, and they will continue to have.

In Revelation 18, in the judgment over the world, God says to His people here on earth: “For God has judged her with the judgment she imposed on you” (Revelation 18:20). And in the plagues coming upon the earth, He proclaims: “Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Pour her a double portion from her own cup” (Revelation 18:6–7).
God is battling for mankind. He does not need rescue: we do. And so, the Mark of the Beast law is the catalyst for Christ’s second coming. Because rebellion is global, and because His people have lost their rights simply for being faithful to Him—the true ruler—and to heaven, they are pressured out of society or forced to compromise.

The plagues mentioned in Revelation 16 will come around the time of the Mark of the Beast law, in different strengths and in different places. This is God’s war against those who are at war with Him and His people. Through the plagues, they are disarmed as much as possible for His people’s sake until Christ comes and gathers them to Himself. And so, according to the book of Revelation, the people and Satan bring this upon themselves. Because of their actions, God is left with no other choice but to intervene.

The moment Christ comes in the clouds, the earth is once more under His rule.

The Bible indicates that His people will not be able to buy or sell, hold a proper profession, or keep their properties unless they comply. And so, what kind of laws are about to come, stripping you of all your rights unless you comply?

Many Christians hold different ideas about what these laws will be.

But they are not some great atheistic attacks on Christians as some think. It is sneaky because it is meant to fool those who claim to follow Christ. Faithful Christians are the last stronghold; they are the one Satan wish to turn against God’s government. To make them like himself, from being guardians to become attackers of what they were meant to protect, is the greatest triumph for him. Those people who live a self-gratifying life and hate God are not the ones Satan is targeting. (Rev.12:17) He leaves those people alone, which is why some of these people seem to have more peace in life. (Psalm.73) In the time we now are living, the greater your consciousness the bigger your torture. Like in the days of Lot (2.Pet.2:7-9)
The Bible explains that the antichrist tries to sit as a leader to God’s people here on earth. (2.Thess.2:4) Satan works with Christian leaders. He answers their prayers and guides them to rebel in Christ’s name. (1.John 2:19, 2.Cor.11:14-15, 3.John 1:9-10; Acts 20:29; Matt.7:15)

Here is the simple truth: the ‘man of sin” mentioned in the bible is the Pope. He is the leader of the biggest Christian denomination and the leader of the dangerous and influential Jesuit order, which has done a lot of damage people are unaware of.
The beloved President Abraham Lincoln once said: “If the American people could learn what I know of the fierce hatred of the priests of Rome against our institutions, our schools, our most sacred rights, and our so dearly bought liberties, they would drive them out as traitors” Napoleon Bonaparte said: “The Jesuits are a military organization, not a religious order. The chief is a general of an army not the mere father abbot of a monastery. And the aim of this organization is power – power in its most despotic exercise – absolute power, universal power, power to control the world by the volition of a single man. Jesuitism is the most absolute of despotism – and at the same time the greatest and most enormous of abusers” Are they right?
The reason the Pope is explained to show himself as a god according to the prophecy, is that he has not gone full rebellion in the open. He would fool no one if he did that. He appears to honor what he is secretly attacking. He has changed God’s law and claims to represent God here on earth. While Christ confirmed the validity of the law with his death, the Pope dismissed it and presented a different one to the glory of his own claimed authority as sitting in the place of God on earth. He also claims atonement is given through the church, creating a competing system to Christ’s sanctuary. Thus, his mission is to fool people into believing his church is the sanctuary that you must attend to receive rehabilitation and atonement and that they grant people on Christ’s behalf. But in heaven, they are registered as part of Satan’s rebellion because they have replaced God’s law with their own and given mankind false terms of salvation. In addition, they have created additional laws, regulations, and ways to atone. A false gospel while at the same time claiming Christ gave them that authority, which he never did. He told them not to rule the church in that way. (Matt.10:42-43, Matt.23:8-9, 1.Tim.2:5)
The verse the Pope uses as their authority is this: “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Mat 16:18).
Peter was called “a rock” (Petros), but the church was to be built on a large mass of rock (petras). The cornerstone Christ, upon the gospel Peter had just preached and all the faithful, not one man. (Matt.21:42, Rev.1:6) Peter had said: “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God” and it was to that Christ said: “upon this (mass of) rock” he would build his church and “and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Mat 16:18) The pope has claimed to be Peters processors with the keys to hell and heaven and have tormented the churches throughout the age of Christianity with violence and deception causing millions seeking Christ to perish under a false Christ-figure and a false gospel.

Their whole system is a false copycat religion of the true one. Because of that, they are severely judged in the courts of Heaven, even more so than those from other religions. Regarding the Papacy it is written: “he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws” (Dan.7:25)

The system of the papacy is the first beast of Revelation 13. Because the papacy was and still is a governmental power with influence on world leaders and its people all over the world (Rev.18:3, Rev.16:14, Rev.19:19).

The second beast of Revelation 13 is the United States and the fallen Protestantism. For they did not continue the reformation. They still keep and honor papal laws instead of God’s law and teach people to do the same. They also claim that God’s law is done away with. Therefore, they run Satan’s errands in misleading people to rebel against God under the guise of representing Christ. Showing hate for the law, the law which is Christ’s righteousness they take part in Satan’s rebellion. And so, they follow in the pope’s footsteps in distorting the truth, all in the name of Christ. They are children begotten by the Papacy. They came “out of her” only to continue in her image.
Many teach that Christ hates His Father’s law and despises those who keep it. Most Christians today do not believe God’s law is valid because of them, and so they do not repent for breaking it or seek rehabilitation for that matter. They even persecute those Christians who keep it claiming they hurt Christ by keeping God’s laws. They join in on Satan’s accusation that God’s law is unreasonable, for ‘it is impossible’ to respect. Christ is able to keep it as a human is explained away by Him not being ‘fully human’, therefore He could cheat. (2.John 1:7; 1.John 4:2) Using Satan’s argument against Christ’s right to the earth. This is the spirit of the antichrist, for by it they deny that Christ came as a complete human. (1.John 4:3) It is Satan’s arguments they are teaching. In the Bible, it is called: ‘to come in the flesh’. If Christ cheated, it mocks His testimony, His argument to represent mankind when he kept God’s law. Satan calls Christ a cheater, and the spirit of the antichrist is reflected in all those who agree with this statement. That no human is capable of keeping God’s law and therefore Christ was not fully human and cheated. (Joh.15:10; 2 Corinthians 5:21, Heb.4:15; 1.Pet.2:22) If Christ was fully human and kept it, following Christ means doing the same. The term Christian is an expression that means “to follow Christ”, or “do as Christ” (be ‘Christlike’). Ultimately this means that if Christ kept God’s law, we do not follow His lead or represent Him if we teach others to break it. (Matt.7:21-27, Matt.5:19; 1.John 2:1-4)
A true Christian therefore repents when they break God’s law and seek pardon, while a apostate Christian will blame the law and the requirement and pardon themselves.

The theology of many protestants causes many to lose Christ’s atonement because they refuse to acknowledge that they have sinned when they have broken the law. If they don’t need to keep it, if it is not even possible to keep it, then they cannot be held accountable for breaking it and thus they don’t need to ask for pardon. Usually, Protestants and evangelicals pray to God for forgiveness for only breaking parts of the law and morals in the Bible, and some for breaking Church rules and personal morals. Thus, they go in the footsteps of the Papacy. It is the same ideas and foundation, but different leaders who preach them.

Satan only needs man to rebel against one of God’s moral laws. (James 2:10) So, the law that will be enforced is a Sunday-law. The very one both the papacy, orthodox, and most protestant churches claim has replaced God’s fourth commandment. A law instituted by man and not by God. Satan picked the fourth commandment for the world to rebel against for two big reasons. It is directly tied to Satan’s main battle against God, who has the right to the planet. Many people don’t understand this battle because they do not know about the cosmic war or the significance of the fourth commandment. This again leaves them weak for deception. It’s easier to change a day, than to convince someone God wants them to kill or steal. Why attacking God’s sabbath is working so well:

1. The understanding of why this specific law is in the moral law has been lost to most people. It does not seem important or even relevant to most people. 
   Most Christians follow the papal sabbath thinking they do Christ’s service through it. This way, Satan can get the protestants, the evangelists, the Orthodox, and the Catholics along with his plan and help him, causing great confusion. And a united Christian front against those who still honor God’s law.
2. The second reason he chose the sabbath commandment is that this is the commandment that tells the world that the planet is not Satan’s but ultimately belongs to God and mankind to whom it was entrusted. It is a ‘loyalty’-commandment that asks you to accept God as king. It is the commandment, which if kept, is a declaration of accepting God as the lawgiver for earth. Accepting heaven’s rights as a universal court.
3. Thirdly, it is on this specific day God grants special blessings of knowledge and spirit to His people. It is set aside for communion with God and therefore sanctifying God’s people and strengthening their bonds with heaven. This is only granted through the blood of Christ, meaning a Jew who rejects Christ will miss out on the sabbath blessing. Gods house of worship is not a building of bricks or wood, or a cathedral. God’s world works differently. God’s house of worship is His holy times, they are the house of worship. So to enter God’s house of worship you have to enter His holy times not a physical building. In fact no human was allowed to enter the ancient temple of God. Their worship and fellowship was the house of holy times. Sabbath is God’s church building. The blood of Christ is the access. This knowledge has become lost and now people treat buildings as holy, water as holy, and items as holy, but disregard that which the law claims is holy, His times of gathering.

In the war Satan fights against God, this commandment is about who has the right to judge the planet. Satan claims his right by pointing to mankind following him. God claims his right by His act as the Creator and by the blood of Christ, redeeming the human race. Christ as a human who has not rebelled, now has the claim to it by being a human as well as being the Creator of humans (Joh.1, Rev.1:18, 1.Cor.15:22-28, Rom.5:17).

Because people are not educated, even most Jews, to teach and understand the Sabbath and what it symbolizes, they fail to understand why it is a battle question in the spiritual battle. Every human who does these two things as mentioned in Revelation, who: “Keep God’s law and have the faith of Jesus”, these two together, have the right to the earth through Christ. (Rev.14:12; Rev.22:14) If Satan gets them to violate the fourth commandment, by that action alone they proclaim that God no longer has the right as lawgiver on earth and for them. They reject God’s right to judge Earth according to His law. And by doing this, they take part in the rebellion even if they think they are not. Their actions, and their hand, help the rebellion. Their words, their mentality, are in rebellion against God because they refuse to let Him be their lawgiver and thereby neither their King or government.

Satan’s Mark of the Beast law seems very noble, innocent, and even Christian-friendly. It’s a Sunday law. For the agnostic and atheists, it seems to be beneficial to the environment and family-friendly. Assigned to combat climate change, to give family time to heal and be together, and to give rest to exhausted workers, it makes sense to most people. You don’t have to be a Christian to appreciate it. But part of this law, as it progresses, will be to persecute those who continue to uphold God’s law and Sabbath. If they don’t comply, they just simply lose all their rights. If you want rights, you have to part in this good and sensible peace treaty to heal the world. These Sunday laws have already, throughout time, suppressed Gods people in many different places, starting with the Roman emperor Constantine who made the first known Sunday law registered in historical records. Meaning Satan has always tried to abolish God’s Sabbath for a new day because he hates the claim made in the Sabbath law and the special bond God has with His people on this day, the day being God’s assembly.

Revelation 16 tells us about toads coming out of the atheistic, papal, and protestant governmental mouths, (in other words:) spirits. (Rev.16:14-15) Meaning they will use propaganda. The mouth represents words and legislation. Time is short, and Satan puts everything in on winning terrain before it is all over, he uses all his deceptional might. He will lie, and lie, and lie. And he will kill where he deems it necessary and do charity and good deeds where that would work to serve his purpose. He flatters those who do his bidding.

And he will, if he can, remove the Sabbath commandment from the earth as it is witnessing that the earth is Christ’s.
When Christ was on earth Satan urged people to call Him possessed, a sinner, crazy, unstable, blasphemer, a rebel, a sabbath-breaker and so on (Matt 11:19; Matt.12:24, Joh.10:20, Joh.9:24, Mark 3:21, Joh.10:33, Joh.11:48-51; Joh.9:16). Satan even fooled people into seeing and accuse Jesus of being a lawbreaker. He will give these false testimonies of Christ’s followers too if he gets the opportunity, and he uses people to do it for him. Christ’s followers will be called crazy, unstable, rebels, and possessed. (Luk 23:31, Matt.24:25; Joh.16:2-3) The government worried Christ would cause unrest and war, and so Christ’s followers might be assumed to cause the same. It does not mean it is true. Had Christ’s word been heeded, they would have had peace as a nation. And so the opposite of what they feared was the truth. And they rejected their salvation to save them selves, not understanding what the real threat was.
This has been Satan’s tactic from the beginning. To call good evil and evil good. To confuse the two. (Isa.5:20) To describe God’s followers with the characteristics of his own followers. To call those who preach the truth for Christ’s enemies or even the antichrist. He puts the accusation right back. Therefore, know that it is confusing and will continue to be until the end. The abusers will be portrayed as victims and the victims claimed to be the abusers. Even heaven struggled in the beginning because Satan used these tactics. There is a reason God lost so many of the angels and doubt and insecurity remained for a while in heaven. Lying cause confusion. (Rev.12:7-10; Joh.8:44, Gen.3:4)

All humans who are not in a close relationship with God easily become puppets in Satan’s personal vendetta against God and end up fighting God’s claim to the planet. (Luk.11:23)
In secret, he has already taken rights away from those who uphold the fourth and other commandments. They are being excluded and discriminated against by society.

In addition, God’s people will be surrounded by all kinds of bad people, who also oppose the governmental laws, making them seem like they are part of a group of disruptive and cruel people.

It is a tactic used so frequently, both today and in the past. And it is Satan’s favorite, or at least so it seems. If you want to make a group of people look bad, just have someone claim to represent them or be part of their group. Then go out and speak against the same group and they will be considered experts because they were once part of that group. Another tactic is to become part of God’s people, then proceed to commit horrible acts or act crazy. This will cause them to be feared. Then people will agree to use force on you as you are now feared to become like the extreme one. If people fear you, they will allow you to be subdued and persecuted. If people are convinced it is either you or them, they will most likely choose themselves and their families.

This is all Satan needs to do. Arrange for bad people to infiltrate the ranks of God’s people and either speak against them or do bad things in their name. Then he succeeds in people allowing Gods people to be dealt with as a threat and a danger to society.

Why is it so easy to fool you all? This is how Germany executed their holocaust on the Jews. They convinced people that the Jews were spreaders of disease and death. That they were in alliance with the enemy and could turn against them all in the midst of war, that they were trying to take over the world, and that they were a danger to world peace. Before they knew what was going on, people had been manipulated. They handed over innocent Jews who never did any of those things to the government to be placed in camps and many died. Even innocent children were not spared but viewed as an evil future threat.

Mankind is easily manipulated, and they are constantly manipulated by Satan and his angels and their governments.

Through media, music, movies, and series, Satan has worked silently to change people’s perception of things and how they react to them. He has been changing our perspective of right and wrong little by little. Programming them to do what he wants them to do when he wants them to. But although mankind is easily fooled, they’re not necessarily easily controlled. And so, even Satan has to work with constant opposition and unpredictability to some degree. When mankind first rebelled, God told them he would never allow Satan to get full control over the human mind, we would always be able to choose resistance and to choose God. (Gen.3:15, Gen.4:7; James 4:7, Rom.8, Jude 8-9, James 4:7, Ephesians 6:10-13) If we are left without a choice, then God’s judgment would not be fair. But if we have a choice, we are responsible and can be held accountable for what we choose. And so, everyone has been given the right to choose. God has protected mankind that way. And because of this, we can also be judged. (1.Cor.10:13; Gal.5:13; Jos.24:15; Mark 8:34, Rev.3:20; Isa.55:6-7; Deut.30:19)

The Mark of The Beast is something that seem so innocent as Sunday laws. In the beginning, the tree Adam and Eve ate from was just like any other tree with fruit on it. The fruit itself was not sinful, it was just fruit. But because God had made the tree a symbol of their loyalty towards Him as lawgiver, not eating, or eating of it symbolized if they were loyal to heaven or not. (Gen.2:16-17) Eating meant rejecting God as a lawgiver and God and choosing to have this position self. Man’s desire for power above respect for their Creator. “Ye shall be as gods”, her own judge.

Eating was a sign of rebellion. This is exactly the case with the Sunday laws. It’s rejecting the symbol meant to honor God as creator and lawgiver even from a time before sin existed, to a law uplifting man as the lawgiver instead.

With it comes the teaching that we evolved and were not created, that humans are the supreme gods of our world, and therefore reject God’s right as a lawgiver. And this is what the Pope did as well when he made the first Sunday laws for the Christians. He told you to choose human laws in place of and in competition with God’s laws. “On October 27, 2014, Pope Francis issued a statement at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences that “Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation,” warning against thinking of God’s act of creation as “God [being] a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything.” The Sabbath is rotating testimony and confirmation of the six-day creation, and the Pope has rejected both the witness and what it witnessed of. Yet have no shame in demanding obedience to his own authority in God’s place, to his own sabbath, Sunday.

Among Satan’s lies, which is upheld even by many Jews themselves, is that the Sabbath was only given to the Jews as a people. But the Bible tells us the Sabbath was given before sin, it was a requirement to show loyalty to God even before Eve ate from tree. (Gen.2:1-3) It was the first law given to this planet, so they would not separate from their Creator. And it continued to be a law for those who wanted to give their loyalty to Him. This is why Israel in the wilderness was tested on the Sabbath, even before they got the law at Sinai or had made a covenant to be God’s priests. (Exo.16:22-23 & 28)
Israel was not given God’s moral laws, the Ten Commandments, for their own use. They were educated in God’s law that was already in existence and was asked to represent it to the world as a nation. God called his laws for “my laws” (Gen.26:5, Exo.16:28, Ezek.44:24, Exo.20:6, Deu.11:13, 2.Chro.17:19-20, Neh.1:9)
Likewise, the sabbath was not called the Jewish sabbath, but God’s sabbath. (Exo.31:13; Lev.19:3; Lev.19:30, Lev.26:43, Ezek.20:12-13; Ezek.22:8, Ezek.20:24; Ezek.44:24) But, instead of doing this, they started copying the other nations and failed to represent God according to the plan. The Jewish nation first claimed to follow God while breaking the sabbath, and after Christ, claimed to keep the sabbath while hating their God. But one can not be separated from the other as they are bound together, thus Jews still break the Sabbath to this day even while claiming to keep it. Christ is the creator and the sanctifier the Sabbath points to, and they reject Him as their Creator as well as their sanctifier.

After they rebuilt the temple, they tried to reform it but ended up doing another grievous sin. Instead of representing God’s laws and rule to the world, they claimed to be the only ones who had to keep them, as they were privileged people. And to this day they claim the Sabbath is only for them, and Christians have joined them, repeating this lie. The Sabbath was not given as a law specifically for the Jews. It was given to mankind as a whole. (Isa.56:6-7, Mic 4:2, Jer.3:17) It was already a law from creation, entrusted to them so they could teach the nations to join them in loyalty to God (Exo.19:6). Instead, they first broke it themselves, and then they falsely preached it only belonged to them and told the people of other nations they were free to break it. In both instances, they failed God in the task they had been given.

“…even as they have of the Jews: Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost” (1Th 2:14-16. 

Satan’s lies not only come through atheists and agnostics, but also from Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Muslims, and Hindus. Satan has a lie for every personality, generation, and every belief. A lie for every desire and for every society, to gather people to act and think like him, and to rebel against God’s law so that they do not seek atonement and rehabilitation with Christ.

The ARK OF THE COVENANT discovery will be presented to the world after the Mark of the Beast law to reveal to the world that they are following a lie when they follow the commandments of man uplifting man as judge and god. To show them that the fourth commandment, as well as the others, are still valid and that we will still be judged according to them. The discovery shows the throne of the lamb because The Ark of the Covenant is a throne. It is God’s throne on earth. It is established as a throne by having a law as a foundation. It shows that CHRIST is the real king over the earth, and He has been granted the right to reclaim it by the courts in heaven.

It also shows if you want a part in Christ’s atonement, you have to repent for having broken the law in the Ark, which includes the Sabbath commandment. If you want a part in the Blood upon the Mercy Seat, you have to accept you have broken the law of God, which includes the Sabbath, and repent. The inhabitants and rebellion will be judged, and the rebels will be prosecuted.

But God loves the world so much that He’s willing to forgive everything we have done. Every blasphemous deed or word, every selfish act that has harmed both us and others. Living, trying to make people adore and worship us instead of God. Attempting to take His place and be a god ourselves. Worshipping human idols. He is willing to forgive all of it because he knows we have been misled and lied to. Even the most adored human idols are not happy people. He just needs us to choose Him, to let ourselves be rehabilitated from a corrupted and selfish lifestyle reflecting the traits and rebellion of Satan.
Many wonder why God seems to hide, and they take it as a rejection. In reality, when man sinned and God came to visit them, humans hid from Him. We started hiding first. (Gen.3:8-11) Sin causes us to hide from God, and thus God deemed it better for us if He hid from our eyes instead so we can live our lives. Fear causes us to run from Him, while the love shown through His spirit urges us to seek Him. He would rather we reach out to Him, than hide from Him. (Jer.29:13, Psal.27:8, Isa.55:6-7, Proverbs 8:17, Matthew 5:6; Hebrews 11:6)

God’s kingdom does not work as it does here, right now, where you have to be afraid, where you are forced to go against your standards to be someone in the world, and where you have to guard your children against predators. There are no wars, no nation rising against another. It is a place where you can trust everyone you meet. It is a place with unlimited resources for you to study and learn and experience what the universe has to offer. Its technology is far superior to the one we have on Earth now, just as a human being is a greater being than a human-created robot is. God’s technology does not destroy, it heals and progresses in good ways. (Job.38-39)

It is a good land, and it is good because the one who created man LOVES man. God is your Father, your Maker, your Defender, willing to fight for you and willing to suffer great loss to save you. He actually loves you. He could have judged everyone straight away, but He wanted to save instead of judging. He wanted to grant eternal life rather than giving a death sentence. He has no pleasure in anyone’s death, He wants everyone to live. (John 3:15-18) As little as you want your own child to die for disobeying you, neither does He want to see you perish (Ezek.18:31-32). He just needs us to open our eyes and see, to open our ears and actually hear and understand that we are self-destructive at this point. We have become selfish, and insensitive, harming nature, others, and ourselves. And He needs us to give Him permission to open our eyes, so we can rehabilitate instead of destroying ourselves on our road to self-elevation and recognition. (Rev.3:14-22; Isa.35:4; Isa.49:15; ISa.54, 2.Tim.3:1-9)

Christ forever gave up His original divine nature for a human body. He came in the flesh, fully human, and will be a human forever. He was like God, now his physical nature is less than even what the angels have. He is the Son of man now, a Son of those who once rebelled against Him. Because Eve tried to become like God, to elevate herself to a divine being. God willingly degraded and became a man to rescue both her and her children. There is no greater evidence that Christ is not what Satan claims he is. Satan too wanted to elevate himself, but God showed everyone that true greatness is self-sacrifice, loving and serving, not power. No one can demand adoration, it is a gift that has to be given, not something that can be stolen.

His decision to become human will mark him forever. Yet He did it to save man, to save this planet, to give it a second chance.

Like a drowning man, you need to let him save you and bring you safely to shore. He is not going to save you against your will, that is impossible. Because God’s world, in spite of Satan’s lies, is based on loyalty, love, and free will. God will never establish a kingdom here on earth where the rebels are subdued and live in suppression.
He needs you to choose Him as the leader of your own free will.

Because God knows that no kingdom of peace, no society of any sort, can be built on force and fear. That’s how the world operates today under Satan’s rule. Many governments rule by force and/or fear. That is why it is impossible to achieve peace on earth right now. One subdued group rises and takes control, and now their oppressors become subdued. Or the moment some groups receive rights, another loses their rights. Someone is always unhappy, because of the difference in ethics, culture, and morals. There will always be rebellion, there will always be switching of power back and forth. The oppressors become the oppressed, the victims become the abuser and the abuser becomes the victim. One leader is overthrown, but the new ones are no better, and like this, it never ends. You cannot bring peace going around in these endless circles. Everyone sees the others as the bad guys, and themselves as the good guys. But they are all both bad and good at the same time, some worse than others. But because no ruler gets followers unless he gives benefits, even an evil ruler knows how to do good deeds to get people to follow him. Every bad ruler will have plenty of good deeds to justify his actions and to establish his position. Or as the Romans said: “panem et circenses” meaning give the people circus and bread, and they will allow to be ruled and controlled.

God’s approaching kingdom on this earth is not built or structured this way. Because his kingdom is not oppressive by design. He needs you to choose Him out of love and not out of fear. So, He has taken steps back and has come with His invitation through a calm still voice of the Spirit. And if we love Him, we will respond to the calling and choose Him. If not, He allows us to reject Him. (1.King.19:11-12, 2.King.17:14; Zac.7:13, Luke 8:12)

And then when Jesus comes, He will gather those who loved Him and want His rule, respect His moral guidelines, and desire to be in His world (Psalm 33:22; Rev.21:24-7).

The others will have to be sentenced for their crimes against humanity and the heavenly laws. It will be evident how much of the suffering our selfish choices have had on society, our family, and ourselves. Man is not just judged for his actions but also for the larger impact of his actions on society. (Rev.11:18)
Some see this as a threat. However it is impossible for God to create paradise for someone who hates His rule, and so it is impossible for God to do. Secondly, when the law of our country says if we kill we have to go to prison, it is not a threat, it’s what they have to do for the sake of others and to avoid killings to continue. By his actions, the criminal forces the government to act. Such is the situation with God’s law and order as well. God has to judge with everyone’s rights in mind, not just one individual’s wish to do as he pleases.

There is eternal death, but the hell that many Christians believe in and preach is a mixture of pagan religions and biblical truth. It is the old Babylonian, Greek, and Roman doctrine Christianized. There is no forever-burning hell where those who are lost are tortured for all eternity. Satan twisted God’s word to make Him seem unreasonable, and also to get more people to rebel against Him, but he has just twisted God’s word. It is the pagan, Satan invented religions, this teaching stems from.

The penalty for choosing rebellion is death. Death is ‘to be no more’. Death is not eternal life in hell. This is just another of Satan’s lies to make you hate and dread God, another lie from the Antichrist served to believers all over the world. God accepts you saying no to him and taking your own penalty which is to cease to exist. God just don’t want you to choose this, because he wants you to exist, he wants you to see a better world. (https://thirdangelsmessage.com/hell/ )

The Ark of the Covenant is God’s final call to mankind. To turn back to Him as their lawgiver. To accept the offer of life everlasting through Christs death for our sake. For God to erase all our trespasses of the law, or sin as it is called in the Bible (Col.2:14). To start over. (Joh.3:3, 1.Pet.1:23) He promises that Satan’s lies about Him is not true. (Joh.14:2 & 6) He says he is telling the truth 78 times, as recorded in the gospels. Satan’s lies are told through atheists, religious, or even Christian people. Mostly they reflect Satan’s own character, hatred, and personality traits. Many hate God because he is attributed with Satan’s traits, and if they had known the truth, they would realize that God’s enemy is the one they cannot respect.
Even what those in the church of Satan are led to believe about Satan is lies. Satan loves to make laws to subdue people and angels. He even wanted his own creator to bow down and worship him (Matt.4:9).

What Satan has accused God of being, he is himself.

Unmerciful, unreasonable, creator of oppressive laws, need of self-elevation, unwilling to sacrifice, deceptive, religious, this is Satan. And we have lived under his chaotic rule, the survival of the fittest, for quite some time now.

But this is not how God is. He was patient and kind, even to Satan, for a long time. He allowed him to speak so he could make his case. He has been patient with mankind too. He loves mankind, He has made sacrifices with eternal consequences for mankind. God is slow to wrath and His love endures. (Psalm 103:8, Exo.34:6-7, Lam.3:22, Joel 2:3, Jonah 4:2, 2.Pet.3:9, James 1:20, )

It is safe to go to Him and to choose Him. God forgave the worst king Judah ever saw, Manasseh when he cried to the Lord and he gave him a second chance. (2.Ch.33:11-13, 2.King.24:3) Paul persecuted God’s people, put them in prison, and even led them to their deaths. God forgave him and let him see the wonders in heaven and be one of Gods leading evangelizers. (1.Tim.1:15-17, Gal.1:23, Acts.22:4 ) God asks us to forgive each other too. (Matt.6:14, Matt.18:21-32) If everyone who has been wronged demands the other is to be judged, God can give mercy to no one. Our willingness to forgive each other gives God the argument to forgive us.

The last hold Satan has on anyone who is on the way to choosing God’s side is trying to tell them that they are just bad people, too “dirty for God” and that it is too late for them. That God finds them disgusting and does not want them. So, he makes them stay with him that way, claiming you and him are both hated by God and need to stick together. But it is, yet again, just another one of his lies. God is willing to forgive you and give you another chance. Because he knows what hardened your heart. He knows your history; He knows what environment you have been in. When Jesus was tortured, and mocked, when they put the nails through his hands He prayed: “Father forgive them for they know not what they do” (Luk.23:34)

A lot of you know you were doing the wrong thing when you did whatever you did. But the truth goes deeper. You knew it was wrong, but do you know everything that led you to make that wrong decision? God knows. He does not excuse it, don’t misunderstand. There is no excuse for sin. But He understands the process, seeing from the beginning all the way to the end. He remembers things even you do not remember. He understands psychology and how the mind and body work better than anyone else. Every wrong decision starts long before you act out that bad deed. It starts with all the little wrong decisions, with outer pressure, with confusion, and then you find yourself weak and submissive when you are supposed to do the right thing and so you do the wrong thing. You’re still to blame but God have pity on you. Another reason we make wrong choices, is that we feel we will be subdued by other bad people and their choices if we do not rise and do it to them first. God holds us accountable just like any human court. You cannot be acquitted for breaking the law just because someone was mean to you when you were a kid or adult. You are still judged. Same with God’s court. You are held accountable for your actions regardless of your reasons for ending up in that situation or for committing it.

But when you accept accountability and ask God for another chance, He is ready to forgive you. And He can because Christ took your penalty. So, no matter who you are and what you have done, you can still come before God and ask for a new chance through the substitute blood of Christ.

And if God sees that you mean it and want rehabilitation, He will grant you forgiveness. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Mat 11:28). 

But these moments we are in right now, are the last time the door of mercy will be open for mankind. Because of the global rebellion against God, and because of how God’s people are treated, it is almost all over. A cry has reached heaven. (Exo.2:23-25, Luke 18:7; Rev.6:10, Rev.18:5) Judgment is coming, and it is coming soon. The Ark discovery is God’s last calling, His last testimony to the world, witnessing of the Father and His Son’s death. Last chance to choose Him. Again, it will be your LAST CHANCE.

Your decision will have an eternal impact. Either you will inherit the earth with Christ, or you choose death.

God will not continue to sustain you so you can commit more evil acts against others, suppress others, and harm others for your own benefit or to soothe your pride or desire to elevate over others. If you are rich through others’ poverty. Almost everything we use today, from clothes, and food to technical things, has suffering behind it. He has to interfere because of the wars that will take place if he doesn’t. Wars that will change the earth forever, and put control in the hands of a few evil men and the worldwide control of citizens (Rev.18:23).
Christ is the life-giver, but if He continues to give life and sustain evil, He will be the reason that evil continues. So, He does not want to do that. He will not keep you alive so that you can sin. God and his angels are constantly working to maintain nature’s balance from being destroyed by our poisons and negative influence, they are constantly working to hold back the most devastating wars (Rev_7:1, Matt.6:25-30, Matt.5:45). He won’t continue doing this forever so that we can continue to destroy and supress each other while mocking Him. It serves no one in the long run.
Satan has no power to give life to you or take God’s place in keeping you and the planet alive. He can not create, only manipulate what is already there.

So, you choose today. The door is still open for a little while. When it closes no one will know it.

Get ready for complete chaos when God withdraws His Spirit and allows the world to see what happens without His loving hand protecting it. When His angels are no longer told to intervene to stop wars or evil acts. Then you’ll see just how much good God has contributed to the world’s peace. But He will not continue when the world chooses rebellion after having been presented with the facts and the offer, and then rejecting God’s stretched-out hands to follow the doctrines of Satan and his likes. God will withdraw his spirit. He has already, in places that has had a great light yet rejected Him.
Jesus said “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Mat 24:14). 

So, choose today whose side you are on. On Heaven’s side or the rebellion led by Satan.
