GAME ON

Those of you that are hungry for revelation knowledge, let’s flashback to some ancient events and look at some deeper meanings as to what was taking place in the spirit world, or The Unseen Realm ... Ref pgs 278 – 279 Michael Heiser’s book, commentary by me Frank …

After Jesus’s temptation experience in the desert ie: Again the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, and he said to him, “I will give to you all these things, if you will fall down and worship me.” (Matthew 4:8-9)

Satan offered Jesus the nations that had been disinherited by Yahweh at Babel. Coming from the “ruler of this world” ( John 12: 31) The offer was not a hollow one. As the original rebel, the nachash of Genesis 3 ( cf. Rev 12:9 ) had,by New Testament times, achieved the status of the lead opposition to Yahweh.

Had Jesus given in it would have been an acknowledgment that Satan’s permission was needed to possess the nations. It wasn’t. Satan presumed power and ownership of something that, ultimately, was not his but gods. The messaging behind Jesus’s answer is clear: Yahweh will take the nations back by his means in his own time. He doesn’t need them to be given away in a bargain. Jesus was loyal to his father. Since reclaiming the nations was connected with salvation and redemption from the effects of the fall in Eden, accepting Satan’s offer would have undermined the necessity of the atonement of the cross.

( Luke 4: 14 – 15… Matthew 4: 12 – 16. At Capernaum his message was simple, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven is near” ( Matthew 4: 17) … Jesus then did two things: called his first disciples (Peter, Andrew, James, and John Andrew James and John) and healed a demon-possessed man (Mark 1:16 – 28) LET THE HOLY WAR BEGIN ... NOTE 6, PG 279 — Other scholars have noted how the announcement of the kingdom coincides with the expulsion of demons … See Craig A. Evans… “Inaugurating the Kingdom of God and Defeating the Kingdom of Satan … Further comment: The next few lessons on this subject are extreme revelation knowledge of the understanding as to what’s going on in this troubled world … Frank … If you’re bored, sleep on Sweet Charlotte ... I’m sad to say, you probably will not get this depth of scholarly research and revelation at the local church or elsewhere, sadly, it seems a lot of the churches have fallen away from seeking truth … Most are giving in to doctrines of devils and following the ways of the world …
