Accuser Of The Brethren (Lakeland #7)

THE ACCUSER OF THE BRETHERN

Too often there is a place in time where TRUTH is put aside and replaced. Sometimes it is replaced by a planned DIVERSION. Then there are times where TRUTH is lost among the SMOKE and MIRRORS placed to DISTRACT anyone looking for IT. Now there are times THE FULL TRUTH is beyond what is comfortable for many.

I just completed SERPENT SEED. The HUMANS who have chosen to serve DARKNESS/CHAOS. They SERVE THE SERPENT, THE GREAT DRAGON, THE KING OF TYRUS, THE KING OF BAYLON, LUCIFER, SON OF THE MORNING.

On the other hand, in the oldest BOOK of the BIBLE, JOB, GOD calls out to one of the sons of GOD by this NAME…SATAN. More correctly in HEBREW it is HA’SATAN. Now ADONAI ELOHIM is not calling one of the created beings by their own name. What GOD uses is really a title. HA’SATAN literally means “ADVERSARY”. Now remember just before JUDAS showed up to kiss JESUS, JESUS had some words for Simon Peter. THE ADVERSARY has made a formal petition unto THE THRONE. Maybe Simon Peter was in the argument of who was top dog, I do not know. GOD DID. And suddenly JESUS tells Simon Peter was about to be sifted, and would deny JESUS.

Dr STRONG is far more expansive for the GREEK SATANOS than he was for the HEBREW SATAN. It is important to look at exactly what he says “SATAN” means. 1) adversary (one who opposes another in purpose or act), the name given to a) the prince of evil spirits, the inveterate adversary of God and Christ 1) he incites apostasy from God and to sin 2) circumventing men by his wiles 3) the worshippers of idols are said to be under his control 4) by his demons he is able to take possession of men and inflict them with diseases 5) by God’s assistance he is overcome 6) on Christ’s return from heaven he will be bound with chains for a thousand years, but when the thousand years are finished he will walk the earth in yet greater power, but shortly after will be given over to eternal punishment b) a Satan-like man

When I read this I think about the old Clintwood Spaghetti Westerns about the MAN WITH NO NAME. Many will say it is “the devil”, the personification of all that is evil. Many will say whatever they please.

“SATAN” may only be a term for whatever tool THE MOST HIGH GOD uses to apply “pressure” to men.

According to “first mention”, SATAN shows up in the time of DAVID.

1 Ch 21:1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. Now to many who read it, this comes out of nowhere. SATAN is “tempting” DAVID but they do not know why. If so, keep reading. 1 Ch 21:3 And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they [be]: but, my lord the king, [are] they not all my lord’s servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?

Now JOAB knew DAVID’S order somehow was in conflict with something GOD SAID. He spoke up and was ignored. And then a prophet named GAD comes into the picture.

So SATAN/THE SERPENT tempts people to do what GOD TELLS them not to do. Let’s take it a final step.

Rev 12

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him

¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night

ALOUD HEAVENLY VOICE refers to OLD SERPENT/THE DEVIL/SATAN as “the accuser of our brethren”. So what I see HA’SATAN as a PROSECUTING ATTORNEY Before GOD, as JESUS intercedes. So SATAN is a term for the lowest possible form of life imaginable….a lawyer.

GOD even has use at this stage of time so SATAN walks “to and fro” across this earth today.

One of the scriptures that just never made sense to me was Rev 20. Rev 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, Rev 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. <<<<BIG SNIP HERE>>>> Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom [is] as the sand of the sea. Rev 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet [are], and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever..

SO THE MOST HIGH GOD PUT ONE OF HIS TOOLS AWAY, IN A PLACE “SET APPART”.KNOWING THAT HE WOULD HAVE A USE OR THAT TOOL, JUST ONE MORE TIME.

NOW THAT IS HEAVY.

But there is more to this whole thing

Rev 12

⁷ And there was war in heaven: Michael 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

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him

Let me tell you all a little story…ONCE UPON A TIME….GOD CREATED THE “UNIVERSE”. And every thing was just plain perfect. But GOD did something interesting. HE GAVE HIS created beings that served HIM something called “THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE.” ((((For all scholars out there, that is the best explanation I have been able to come with after over 20 years studying this.))))

Let’s skip all the hypotheticals and go straight at it.

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

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

So one CHERUB, attempted to depose ALMIGHTY GOD. In his lies and schemes he got 1/3rd of all the CREATED BEINGS to side with HIM. Personally this has always bobbled my mind. Just how can even HALLEL, a CHERUB who dwelt at THE THRONE OF GOD, CREATED TO BE AN INSTRUMENT OF WORSHIP, become prideful? Then how could he subvert other angels to deny A HOLY GOD and back him?

And THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT told me to put it aside. Until I was ready. I still am not quite ready.

So if one out of three angels that GOD CREATED fell for his lies and promises, what exactly can flawed humanity have to withstand this. THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT. Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].

Our STRENGTH is in THE LORD. ABBA gave us THE GIFTS OF THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT. THE SON, our GLORIOUS KING gave us THE WHOLE ARMOR.

Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand

Paul continues:

Eph 6

¹⁸ Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints

¹⁹ And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel

²⁰ For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak

No where do I read of “SNEAKING INTO THE ENEMY’S CAMP”, “STOMPING ON DEMON HEADS”, “HUNTING FOR UNCLEAN SPIRITS” to cast them out.

What I do read in Eph 6 are 2 “STAND(S)”, and 1 “withstand”.

You can meditate on the number of ANGELS that followed SATAN in his folly. Just expect headaches and acid reflux. Here NUMBERS do not matter. THE ENEMY OF OUR SOULS is, as JESUS said, THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD. Under him are “PRINCIPALITIES”. Fallen angels with pieces of geography they are accountable for. Under him are “POWERS”. Fallen angels in charge of specific things that go “beyond” Land marks and borders.

Then there are SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES. Fallen angels that pull the strings for groups like “SECRET SOCIETIES”, “POLITICAL LEADERS”, “CEO’S OF CORPORATIONS”, “BANKS”, etc, etc. Etc.

These fallen angels empower and direct their human minions we know/call THE SEED OF THE SERPENT.

To resist what is coming using human strength, wisdom, cunning seems cute for books and movies. Personally I enjoy INDIANA JONES, TOM CLANCY and the LIKE.

But personally, I have THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT, THE LOGOS and THE RHEMA. AND THE LAMB WHO IS WORTHY TO TRED THE WINEPRESS OF THE WRATH OF GOD ALMIGHTY,

How will you “STAND”? Selah olddog
