What was Accomplished by the Death of Christ

The Final Conflict

All right, well you all got your Bibles Let's pray father in heaven once again, we thank you for the privilege we have Spend this time to meditate once again on your holy word now Lord Please grace us with your presence and God, please help us to recognize our great need of Thee.

And Father, once more, we pray that You will help me to speak the words of life.

Oh, Lord, give me those things that are essential.

So bless us now we pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

I want you to turn with me and your Bibles to the book of Revelation and I want you to go to Revelation chapter 13.

Speaking of the Antichrist, I want you to look at verse 3 with me.

The Bible says, I saw 1 of his heads as it were wounded to death, and his deadly wound was healed, and all the world wondered after the beast.

I want you on a score that last part of that verse how much of the world All the world not some not most but all the world, you know 1 time I was in Australia and I preached this message in a crusade and had a lady come to me and she said that well, that'll never happen here in Australia and I she said She said you don't know what you're talking about.

You can, you don't know what it's like in Australia.

I said, you know Man, I don't have to live in Australia to know what God says is going to happen in Australia God said all the world that includes all includes, Australia all the world wondered after the beast The Bible says at the end of time prior to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ there will be an effort made by Satan to globalize the world global unity a new world order as it were go over to Revelation chapter 16 Revelation chapter 16 Revelation 16 16 Revelation 16 Revelation 16 Notice with me here, starting with verse 13.

I saw 3 unclean spirit-like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth to the kings of the earth, and underscore this now and of the whole world not some not most whole world all the world the whole world notice it says the language to gather them to the battle of a great day of God Almighty go down to verse 16 He gathered them together in the place called the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

Now the Battle of Armageddon is the final conflict between good and evil and it culminates with the Sunday Sabbath issue.

The Bible speaks that at the end of time prior to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ there'll be an effort made by Satan to globalize the world to bring it under his dominion.

The Bible says that all the world will be involved, not some, not most, but all the world.

Everyone will be brought to a position where they're gonna have to decide whose side they are on.

Now what's interesting here is the Bible says that Satan's effort will be wrapped under the banner of the 3 unclean spirits.

According to the scripture, the Bible says these 3 powers play an integral part at the end of time to bring about the globalization of the world.

Now, let's take a quick look at the concept of the 3 powers mentioned here in Revelation 16.

We know the Bible says there are 3 unclean spirit-like frogs.

We know the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet.

Obviously, first of all, these 3 powers, we know they're the spirits of what?

They are, as it were, marionette puppets.

And the reason he uses them as veneers is because they become a disguise for him.

In other words, these powers actually veil what Satan is really like, at least for a period of time, in order to deceive the world.

Now there's no doubt in Revelation 12 verse 9 that the dragon is primarily who?

But again, this is nothing more than a vehicle for him.

It's a power he uses that represents him on this earth.

Now let's go over to Revelation 12 quickly and let's look at verse 9 because there's an interesting way it's described in the King James.

It says this, and the dragon, a great dragon was cast out, underscore the next phrase, that old serpent Called the devil and Satan which deceived it the whole world that old serpent in the original language it means the serpent of old in other words the concept is talking about that this serpent dates back quite some time you understand what the concept in other words, it's conveying the principle that you should, as when you read this, your mind should be drawn back in time.

Well, where do you find a serpent that was ever used as a medium by Satan that was long ago?

So it's telling you to go back to the Garden of Eden.

It's telling you to go back to the Garden of Eden because in the Garden of Eden you're gonna get an answer to the mystery of who the dragon is there in Revelation chapter 16.

You see in Genesis, in Genesis chapter 1, or 3, excuse me, Genesis 3, there in verse 1, it says, now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made and he said unto the Woman yea hath God said that thou should not eat of the tree of every tree of the garden now Here is that serpent of old he comes to the woman Now I want you to see something here.

The first thing he says, yea, hath God said.

We don't, you know, you don't have this, I mean if your professor gave a work assignment to you and you don't have 1 of your roommates, yay, hath the professor said?

You know, you, we don't, that's, this is Shakespearean language, you understand it, but listen to me But you're gonna capture a concept very interesting here Yea hath God said If we put in the 21st vernacular Did God really say that?

What was the first thing that he did before he could get her to sin the first thing he had to do was place doubt In her mind in regard to the Word of God Now did not God tell her previously and Adam as well What they could eat and what they could not eat now, is that true?

Did they know the will of God in this area?

They were fully conscious of the of the of the will of God fully aware of what God had said they knew what God had spoken in Genesis chapter 2 there in verse 17 go to verse 16 and the Lord God commanded Man saying of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou mayest not Eat of it for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shall surely die so here is the plain will of God The word of the Lord Has been spoken to them Satan comes as ya have God said Did God really say that did he really mean that?

Placing doubt in the minds of Adam and Eve in this particular case, of course in Eve's case You see if Satan's gonna get you to sin The first thing he's got to get you to do is doubt the promises of God to doubt the Word of God Did God really mean that they got really say that?

Because if you doubt the Word of God Then you do you cannot have the faith to believe that God is able to do abundantly above all that you ask or think, or that God can work in you both the will and the do of His good pleasure.

You know, I think, Eugene, you mentioned Romans 4 about Abraham, staggered not at the promise of God.

You see because Abraham did not doubt the Word of God that's why he did not stagger at the promise of God you understand that It would not allow Satan to manipulate his mind to doubt the promise of God you doubt you stagger you stagger you fall So he placed doubt in the mind.

Yea, hath God said, you should not eat of every tree of the garden?

Thus taking the text out of context and then obviously that leads to an outright lie.

You see he didn't just he he he quoted but he misquoted isn't that right yes there's the second step doubt and then misquote Why well if you misquote Then you don't know the whole Concept of what God had said you remember Satan came to Christ and did the same thing to him in the temptation Don't y'all remember?

He said well, you know, don't you just cast yourself down the angels of God will take keep you safe He quoted but he misquoted He didn't quote the whole passage.

That's why Jesus in response said what what did he say?

Well, it's not by living by bravery that's not what he said after that.

Because when you accept only part of the Word of God and you think God is going to fulfill what he said only when you embrace part of it, you're presuming upon God to fulfill what he says.

But the problem is this, that's tempting God.

Now listen, so the woman says, now here's the problem, here's the third problem, and the woman said unto the serpent, There's the third step and here's the problem She responded when Satan comes to you and tempts you and places doubt in your mind or maybe Partially quotes something from the Word of God to you through someone or maybe in your mind misquoting something.

You really think you're smarter than him?
