Revelation 34

Continuing our study of Revelation 12.

Revelation 12:9  ‘The great dragon was hurled down – that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth and his angels with him.’

Once again, we see the plans and schemes of the enemy beginning to unravel. 

He has led the world astray with his lies and manipulations. He began in the garden and he has not stopped deceiving the gullible. It is in his very corrupt nature.

Genesis 3:1  ‘Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made.  He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?

The warning is there for all of us to heed. These are the days of deception.

2 Corinthians 11:3  ‘But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.’

The enemy continues to deceive the world.

2 Corinthians 4:4  ‘The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ.’

But yet all is not lost. Although the dragon-enemy has continued to exert his evil influence throughout the church age, never-the-less there will come a warfare waged in the heavenly regions and Michael and his army will send the dragon hurtling to the earth. His time will be short. 

The God of truth will prevail!

Thank you for reading this!

  No-one has a monopoly on the truths of this magnificent book, and we will all have our struggles and misunderstandings on our journey, but God is demanding that we treat Revelation with the utmost respect that it deserves. The truths that were sealed in Daniel’s time will be opened up according to God’s direction. This will need purified and refined souls to understand and teach, in the midst of immense confusion and mistruths. Please pray for those who are called to understand and teach.

  Revelation 22:11 In or Out…
  Even at this late stage, a reference to the polarity of mankind, between the righteous and the unrighteous. One thinks of Noah’s Ark, and the obedient who were safe inside and those who chose to ignore Noah’s call for righteousness and stayed outside.

  Revelation 22:3 No longer any curse
  Peter praised his contemporaries for their faith in Christ Jesus although they had never met him in real life and had only heard of him through Peter.  Imagine though, what it will feel like, approaching the throne and gazing into the eyes of the Divine, to reach out and touch the very hem of his garment.  It will be beyond belief…
