See Israels PM got rid of that trouble maker Zelensky.

I dont think ive ever seen the entire world become so enamored with a person, as they did for over a year with Zelensky.
amazing, really.

There was about a 8 months period in 2022, when he Owned Youtube, Nato, and the American Congress.
You could not watch "Ameican" TV, and not see him show up.
The Grammys
The Oscars..

There he was......... talking to you.

This person hates Christians, and a large part of his armed forces are Nazi's.

What a world we live in.... that the Media lies, hides, and creates chaos, as their reason to exist.

It's called "building the stage" for WW3.

Jesus most surely DID come down from heaven to the "pit", which is this earth.


No,. the pit is described as in the Earth, needing to be unlocked and opened and someone like satan being cast INTO it. Satan was already on the Earth before he is cast INTO the pit in Rev 20 proving your "Earth is the pit" to be false.

We are not in the pit. Jesus was not born in the pit. The Holy Spirit is not in the pit.

We are not in the pit. Jesus was not born in the pit. The Holy Spirit is not in the pit.
The demise of satan is a threefold process:
1. His fall to the earth.
2. Him being cast out/bound from Heaven, thus having great wrath.
3. His destruction.

Soon after A&E's fall, Satan was sentenced to dwell on the earth, but he still had access to heaven and God.
Gen. 3
[14] And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
> So yes, before Jesus came down from heaven, and was made to be flesh, satan was already here on the earth, accusing people before God, having access to God, as well as having conversations with Him.
Job 1
[6] Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
[7] And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
[8] And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
[9] Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

Luke 10
[17] And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
[18] And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
> But now, that is not the case, ever since Jesus came down from heaven, in the likeness of our flesh, who was put to death, then resurrected into New Life.
Satan has now been bound from entering back into heaven, and bound from entering back into all we, who ARE born again into the Kingdom of heaven, by God's Holy Spirit.
1 John 3
[8] He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Rev. 12
[10] And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, NOW is come salvation, [since Pentecost] and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren  IS CAST DOWN [bound from entering back into heaven and the saved], which ACCUSED them before our God day and night.
> Before Jesus' death and resurrection, though Satan was on the earth, he had not yet been cast out of heaven. Satan still had "placement" there, granting him access to heaven, to accuse people before God.
Rev. 12

[7] And there was war in heaven: Michael [aka Jesus] and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
[8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

1. His fall to the earth.

3. His destruction.


1 and 2 are the same so you have listed only two plus you left out being cast into the pit which happens YEARS AFTER he was cast out of heaven to the Earth.

No!!
1. In Genesis, when A&E had fallen from God's Grace, so also did satan fall.
His new residence was on the earth, but at that time, satan was NOT bound from heaven or God, until....
2. Jesus died and was resurrected. THEN Satan WAS bound from heaven, as well as being bound from all "born again Christians" who are in the kingdom of heaven, by faith in the blood of Christ. WE ARE the "SPOILS" of that war, through the Victory of Christ
3. Satan is NOW bound to this earth permanently, in chains of darkness.
In other words, he no longer has the Light of God's truth, because he can no longer gain access to heaven or God.
He is on death row waiting for his execution and destruction and that's all. In the mean time, he is and has been full of great wrath.

Re-read the scriptures that I provided in post #84. They will most surely help you to understand the three stages of satan's demise.
Think it through WITH "the mind of Christ that is within you", and NOT by "the wisdom of men", and their denominational doctrines. 1 Cor. 2[5] That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

No, satan was already symbolized as a serpent so his fall was before the garden.

His new residence was on the earth, but at that time, satan was NOT bound from heaven or God, until....
2. Jesus died and was resurrected. THEN Satan WAS bound from heaven, as well as being bound from all "born again Christians" who are in the kingdom of heaven, by faith in the blood of Christ. WE ARE the "SPOILS" of that war, through the Victory of Christ


No, that isn't what the bible says:

Rev 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
Rev 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
Rev 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Rev 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Rev 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

That is the Ascension of Christ.


Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

This event happened after the Ascension.


Rev 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

A war takes place in heaven.


Rev 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

Only after losing this war is satan forbidden from ever going to heaven.

Satan still has not yet been bound and imprisoned in the pit which comes after the second coming in Rev 20.

From Rev 12:8 to Rev 20:1 satan was on the Earth but not in the pit. Therefore the pit is not the surface of the Earth but a place that is Earth-ward that must be unlocked and opened before being entered.



3. Satan is NOW bound to this earth permanently, in chains of darkness.


No, he isn't. Theer is no such thing as satan being bound TO anything. He himself will be bound them imprisoned in the pit which is a type of internal prison.

I already showed you the error of that list. I can't make you understand or accept any corrections. That is up to you, to accept or reject.

No, satan was already symbolized as a serpent so his fall was before the garden.
Not so quick!
Q. WHEN was the "serpent", (symbolism for Lucifer, Satan and numerous other names) relegated to the earth, so that it would be his new residence?
A. Day #1 after God's judgment.
Gen. 3[14] And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat ALL the days of thy life:

ALL angels, holy or fallen, are powerful created spirit beings.
Surely we all do know that serpents are not capable of conversational human speech all by themselves, but satan, as in this instance by a serpent, did use that reasonable life form to speak through. There are a few biblical incidents of such occasions.
So then, Satan is not a literal serpent, but rather is called one, because he spoke to Eve through a serpent.

By the way who is the symbolic Tree of Life? Was Jesus in the Garden also? I believe so! But, literal trees don't give eternal life to anyone. Nor do trees give to anyone "the knowledge of good and evil".

In any case, in that day of God's judgment of satan, he was immediately relegated to his new place of residence, planet earth.
And as scripture shows, Satan was now living on earth, but still had access to both heaven and God. Job 1:6-12.

It would seem that the "end times" for Hamas are about to begin, very soon.

Also of note, is that 6 Chinese warships have been sent to "observe" what the USA is doing with their WARShips off the coast of Israel.
One of the Chinese ships is a "guided Missile Destroyer".

Reader...

'"Russia, Iran, China""....= end times = being fulfilled.

Its not going to get better., but God wont let them destroy Israel.

Iran, China, and Russia, do not understand this, but they are going to find out that the BIBLE is TRUE and that Jesus is ALIVE.

Nothing there that supports the claim that satan was relegated to the earth so that it would be his new residence at that place in Genesis. Satan was not confined to the Earth until mid-Rev 12, after the death and Ascension of Christ.

You also failed to comment on the fact that satan's fall had to be before Adam's because he was symbolized as a serpent already showing that he was a dangerous person. He was already trying to cause the downfall of man.

It's called "building the stage" for WW3.
Rev. 9:13-21.
He is called Joe Escalate Biden !
Joe was all escalate escalate on his Ukraine War mongering and it was a idiot like him that forced Putin's hand to enter into the War !
But J E Biden does not like or value Elections in fact ! because the War in Ukraine could of been solved with a Vote in fact and no one would of lost their homes or lives or put through all this hellfire.

Now with Israel and this outright gutless totally moronic attack on Israel ? well well where do we see Joe Biden's snail trail ? starting with Afghanistan, Joe Biden left all them weapons in the hands of the people who's number one thing in life is to hate the Jews in fact !
When Joe Biden pulled out of Afghanistan like that i thought directly this is not good at all for the Jews in Israel at all !!! No one could be so stupid ! as this will only create so much more trouble ! Now how the hell could one not see that would be the case !

Joe Biden and Co have the blood on their hands in all this, for they wanted such to happen, no one could be so stupid !

Joe Biden and Co only work to cause trouble in fact, not only abroad but within the USA as well, he and Co worked towards and caused division in the USA in fact. For they are the ones peddling division in fact, they call all who are not for them Deplorable's and not to mention say that such people have to be re programmed ? Warning people that sort of line is directly out of the Nazi and Communist books !
Sure i do believe that the people who support the Left Socialist Democrats are or have swallowed all the programming. Just as it was with the Nazis back in the days of Hitler ! it's the same Socialist intent to dominate over the people as was the Communist in fact !

A healthy Nations people should be awake to such as the Joe Biden and Co of this world ! but such as they have worked to dumb down the Nations people, so as to become dupes to their Anti-Christ antics. The have bastardised the Churches to become slaves to the Government and abandoned Christ Jesus. for Churchianity a religion of Man devoid of Christ Jesus in fact, for their religion is Socialism and i seen this in the RCC and the rest as well. I felt like i was in a Socialist indoctrination camp !

Not to mention i was welcomed to Country ! every day ! You turn up to be welcomed to your own Country !
I am 5th generation Australian ! Hell No ! No one is going to welcome me to my own Country and as sure as hell not by some white moron with 15% Abo in him etc Hell no ! No way !
I do respect the full bloods to their way's period ! but come hell or high water no such a one stands over me and dictates over me what to do.

The Socialist devils are only playing the Aboriginals as a tool for Socialist ends, it's typical of the Nature of Socialist because they work to bastardise everything they play around with in fact, Gay issues as well the same Satanic deal is at hand. It never lifts anyone up but drags everyone down with them in fact, for they are Anti-Christ that's their nature.

Joe Biden is playing a tune to the bad Jews in the State of Israel the Socialist Jews are in bed with Biden, it's they who let the War take place as it did in fact, for the Socialist use such depravity as "a Means to an ends" tactics ?
One has to remember that Socialist are at war 24/7 for their own ends.
That's why one has to be eternally vigilant !

You are not hearing what the Spirit is saying.

Anyone, who is issued a judgment by God, "face to face", for all their life, begins in it on that day, for the rest of their life.

By the words of God: Gen. 3:14...."and dust shalt thou eat ALL the days of thy life". means, from that day forward, until his end, Satan would be on the earth, WALKING up and down in it.
Job 1:7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

Now, by that scripture, was satan bound (restricted) from approaching, appearing and speaking to God, or He to him?
NO!!
Let's hear it again:
God asked satan: "Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it."

Where was satan dwelling?
ON the Earth.

Was satan BOUND (restricted) from approaching God, and talking to Him?
NO.
Job 1[6] Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

Now, speaking to the rest of the "garden incident":
When did the "face to face" judgment of God fall on Adam and Eve, that they would be bound (restricted) from partaking in the Gift of Eternal life, aka the "Tree of Life"??
On that very same day!
Gen. 3:16-17, 22.

Though Satan was relegated to the earth as his permanent residence he was not yet bound [restricted] from approaching God in heaven, UNTIL after the death and resurrection of Christ.
So then, IT'S NOT where Satan was bound to, but rather WHAT he was BOUND FROM!!


Edit:
Ok, now let's go further than that to
Mat. 4:1-11
[3] And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
[4] But he [Jesus] answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
How is this scenario different than Job 1?
God the Father, who was within Jesus, was NOW ON satan's "turf", aka his place of residence.
Please notice that satan is NOT a literal serpent, and is speaking openly and directly to the Son of God, who was God in the flesh!

Are we done yet?
NO. Let's go see Peter. Mat. 16:20-23.
Satan spoke through Peter, and the only one who could discern the voice of satan's subtle benevolence, was Jesus.
How was it that Satan could and did enter into Peter???
Jesus had not yet been crucified and resurrected, nor had Peter yet received the Holy Spirit of God, which WOULD and DOES BIND Satan from RE-ENTERING all born again Christians of whom are no longer of this world, but are of heaven.

Again, it's not where Satan is bound to, but rather what he IS BOUND FROM.
Please see the parables of "the strong man", in the KJV.


Stop thinking "by the wisdom of men", being that of the preconceived doctrines of church-ianity.

And those who don't want it for whatever reasons they have. It isn't mandatory and nothing says you have to have the HS in order to reject it.
By having God's Holy Spirit within us (Rom. 8:8-9), it is the only way that anyone will be kept from the "strong delusion to believe a lie [of satan]", that shall be used by God to try the whole world, of which shall separate the goats from the sheep.

That temptation shall be the MoB, of which will be digitized money, with a Digital ID., on a global scale, beginning in 2024, and it will be strictly voluntary.
It will appeal to the flesh of "the natural man, "the man of sin", whereby all in the taking of it, are "the son(s) of perdition" [destruction], being ALL THE UNSAVED, in that Day of the Lord's Glorious return in flaming fire.

The MOB which controls buying and selling is not mandatory. If the beast mandated all to take it, how could the raptured saints not have taken it?

That isn't scriptural. The bible promises that people are still alive after the second coming, Rev 2 and 19.

That's the point. The MoB takes place before the visible and Immortal coming of Jesus.
Satan himself will have brought about the separation of the sheep from the goats, by gathering the unsaved into bundles, through the MoB. Mat. 13:24-30

Only those Christians, who are "born again" of His Holy Spirit, will be able to resist the taking of the mark, and endure the inability to "buy or sell", thereby trusting in God for all their needs. All others (foolish virgins) will "fall away" from faith (apostasy).
2 Thes. 2
[3] Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Wrong!
See KJV Luke 17, 28-30 and 2 Thes. 1:7-10 (look for the word "when" in verses 7-10).

1 Thes. 5
[3] For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

So? That doesn't contradict Rev 2 and 19 that promise a rule over the nations after the second coming. Destruction takes place at the second coming but not to every individual. When he comes, many are killed and the rest are ruled over.

That is contradictory to the issuance of the "MoB", of which will take place after Rev. 9:13-21, which is WW3 in the Euphrates region.

The beast with ten horns is a Global Economic Empire, which was never how all the previous world ruling beasts operated.
As for the 10 horns (countries), they have not as of yet been appointed, but may come from out of NATO.

The beast's image, the manifestation of it's self, will be through the UN.
It is the UN that will legislate and mandate to all the world the 10H beast's authority and permission for "buying and selling" to all people.
Rev. 13:15.....that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship [comply with] the image of the beast should be killed.
[16] And he [the Image] causeth ALL, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
[17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name
1. All individuals, through the  mark of the beast.
2. All governments, through the name of the beast.
3. All businesses, through the  number of the beast.

Will there be people who are not "born again Christians", that hold out from taking the mark of the beast? Yes, of course!
Just by sheer human will power in defiance and rebellion, having a "survivalist" and/or "patriotic" mindset, they will try to rebel for a short time, but eventually they shall cave into their flesh, for reasons of shelter and/or starvation, and the lack of family ties.
2Thes. 2

1 Thes. 5

Rom. 8
[9] But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Mat. 10
[37] He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
[38] And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

The MOB is not mandatory. We know this because the raptured saints did not take it and if they didn't, others could have refused it as well.



Rev. 13:15.....that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship [comply with] the image of the beast should be killed.
[16] And he [the Image] causeth ALL, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

Worship is different than comply but go ahead and use eisegesis to add what you want to the passage.

It is not the image that issues the MOB. It is the false prophet that does that. The "he" in this passage is the FP:

Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Rev 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Rev 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Rev 13:16 And he (the false prophet) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:


Will there be people who are not "born again Christians", that hold out from taking the mark of the beast? Yes, of course!


And if they can, others could as well for the same reasons.



Just by sheer human will power in defiance and rebellion, having a "survivalist" and/or "patriotic" mindset, they will try to rebel for a short time, but eventually they shall cave into their flesh, for reasons of shelter and/or starvation, and the lack of family ties.

No, some do avoid taking the mark.

The MOB is not mandatory. We know this because the raptured saints did not take it and if they didn't, others could have refused it as well.





Worship is different than comply but go ahead and use eisegesis to add what you want to the passage.

The point is, on the Day of Jesus' glorious return, Rom. 8:9 will be applied to all who are alive, that allegedly and supposedly didn't take the mark, who are and remain to be unsaved (unsealed) by God's Holy Spirit. All of such did not enter into the KoG by His Spirit, (John 3:3-8) and therefore they shall NOT be "changed" into the likeness of Christ's immortality. They will be deemed by Christ as being "foolish virgins", and shall hear and know that the words of Christ apply to them: "I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity". Mat. 7:21-23.

Worship is compliance to the will of that which is being worshipped. Jesus clearly revealed who and how the true worshippers of God are:
John 4
[23] But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
[24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in truth.
That one MUST perform something correctly, in order to be accepted, is compliance. For one to perform other than that which is required, is to be non-compliant.
Edit:
Therefore whoever refuses the "mark", whether "saved" or "unsaved", "should be killed".
BUT, to re-emphasize, whosoever does not have the Spirit of Christ, HE IS NONE OF HIS.

So then, all who do not have the MoB, would be non-compliant, as to what was required to correctly "worship" the beast.

Hearin lies the meaning of being "lukewarm", being neither cold or not. Quite literally, the "foolish virgins" are "fence sitters". Rev. 3:15-16.
Therefore, in the time of the MoB, all of such refusing the mark, "should be killed" by the Image of the beast, but then also, they who do not have the Spirit of Jesus, have no eternity with God, because they "are none of His" in the first place.

You don't understand the dilemma and the intensity of what the MoB entails.

Tell your wife and family that they can't buy anything for food, clothes and shelter because you and all concerned within your family cannot make a financial transaction for the simplest of basic needs, because you refuse to take the MoB.
Will you allow your flesh to cave into their needs, and then go and take the MoB,
or...will you decieve your family, by telling them that THEY should take the "mark"?
BTW, do you think that your Pastor will give you sound counsel at THAT time?

"Remember Lot's wife"! What was her problem, of why she didn't follow with her husband Lot? You need to find out.
Mat. 10:37-38.
