Isaiah29 -> RE: Prince Charles (11/7/2005 9:19:59 PM)

quote: ORIGINAL: goingupupup well I think that satan will manifest in human flesh, as in the bible demons had to be cast out of people and it was a physical thing as well as spiritual, others witnessed and accounted for the many times Jesus cast them out, so it is more than a state of mind. I think it is like anything here on earth it is started with a lie from a physical life form and he will be physical again and he will try his best to deceive even the very elect. Dear Goingupupup, Satan's goal is quite clear, to be worshipped as God, not a god, but the God. His motivations are spelled out quite clearly in Isaiah 14, "How are thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, who did weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High'." Is. 14: 2-4 In case you hadn't noticed, the exact same motivation Lucifer exhibits, wanting to "be like the most high", is exhibited by the "man of sin, the son of perdition" "Who oppose and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." 2Thes. 2: 4 When Lucifer says in his heart that he will sit also upon the "mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north" he is referring to the Holy Mount situated in the midst of Jerusalem, upon which the Solomon's and Herod's Temple sat, and upon which the Al Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock currently sits. This bit of geography is revealed in Psalm 48, "Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King." Psalm 48: 2. Hence, Lucifer/Satan/anti-Christ will attempt to rule from Jerusalem, masquerading as the messiah, the mashiac ben David, the lion of Judah, (who in reality is Jesus Christ, though he still is not received by his own people, the Jews). In order to do so, Satan will have to possess a candidate with the necessary pedigree, that of son of David, otherwise he would not be received by the Israelis, much less the rest of the world. Naturally the geneology will be false, but still believable for those who want to believe. That Satan could possess such a candidate is easily provable in accordance with Scripture, from the general demonic possessions in the New Testament you have already mentioned, to the more specific possession of Judas Iscariot, as both Luke and John attest to. "Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve." Luke 22: 3 "And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, 'What thou do, do quickly'." John 13: 27 Of course the concept of possession is quite foreign to the modern "enlightened" mindset, despite the resurgence of channeling and spiritism, not to mention the other occult practices that have "come out of the closet", so to speak. Paganism and witchcraft are alive and well in the world, and their headquarters seem to be in Great Britain, witness Harry Potter, the Lord of the Rings, and the Cronicles of Narnia, and a veritable host of other contemporary mythologies by British authors, not to mention Madam Blavatsky's Theosophical society and the Society for Psychical Research, both of which originated in London. Now there are literally thousands of people practicing mystical rituals, initiation rites, incantations and spells around the world, thus laying the groundwork for an open acceptance of the occult, over which the anti-Christ will be the untold master, understanding dark sentences as he does. "And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand." Daniel 8: 23-25 In Christ, Ariel
