Our Adversary the Devil: His Methods, Cont

[0:00] It is good to have assurance. Not everybody has assurance.

[0:15] And for them, it's not good not to have assurance. You might take that for granted. You may get used to it. And that's okay.

[0:26] It's okay to get used to what you know to be true. And to be grounded upon the truth. It's okay to be that. But I guess if you deal with some people and you witness to them, you talk to them, you find out even Christians don't have assurance.

[0:42] And what a mess. What a struggle. So get your Bibles open this morning, please, to Genesis chapter 1. And we'll continue with our studies here on our adversary, the devil.

[0:53] And still hanging on to our fifth point. Being his methods. And we're in the fourth point of the fifth category of his methods.

[1:16] We studied that he is a deceiver and that he uses deception to oppose the work and the will of God. We saw that he uses temptation. We saw last Sunday he uses provocation.

[1:29] And we saw that in a few examples. And then ended, or I don't know where exactly we were, but perversion is the fourth point here on how our adversary, the devil, opposes our creator.

[1:42] And last week we really looked, kind of spent the time discussing perversion in the sense of the words of God. How he perverts the words of God and ran a few references there.

[1:55] And that's something that you should be very aware of and understand this issue of this satanic issue of taking away the truth from mankind.

[2:06] From handing him a replacement or an imitation of the truth of the very words of God. And the issue is very, very big. And it's very real.

[2:17] And if you're unaware of it, get aware of it. And learn what this is about and understand it. Because it's a satanic thing to just hand man something that looks close, an imitation.

[2:29] And ignorantly man swallows it and pretends that he's got the truth. And then doesn't realize that he's teaching and preaching false doctrine.

[2:39] Or believing things that aren't exactly truth. If you've got the purity and the wholeness of the truth in your hand, the word of God. Then you can study it.

[2:52] And you can count on every word. And you can... There's so much light in this book. It's inconceivable, maybe unexplainable how much light is in this book.

[3:05] And the more you read it and study it. And the more you get your mind... The more you learn something new. And I'm not a big proponent of just new, new, new.

[3:17] And wild and deep and crazy stuff. But when you do learn something new that you never knew before. And you see it in the scriptures. It's interesting how much it's in the scriptures. Or how much there's little hints of it here and there.

[3:31] And once the light kind of shines forth, you see it's everywhere. And it makes the whole of scripture. And your understanding of things that are kind of outside of your ability.

[3:43] It's in the book. And I'm convinced and I'm certain that there's so much more that God has revealed. And it may have to be that we wait until we get to heaven to get the true Bible lesson that we've been missing all this time.

[3:57] But I'm convinced we'll see it when we get a clearer understanding. Or when things come to pass that we just don't quite see or understand.

[4:08] Or we have our eyes open to all of history and the past, present, future. That we'll be like, oh yeah. And even probably verses of scripture that we overlooked or phrases within them will just stand out like, yep, it was right there.

[4:23] I just never made that connection. I never saw it. But it's in the book. All right, so anyway, Satan has been perverting the words of God. Now the second thing I want to say about perversion is that he perverts what God intended or designed for the family.

[4:39] I just don't want to make this sound like just sexual perversion. But that's one way of saying it. But it's not just that. It's more than that. And it's actually much more than that.

[4:50] And maybe we'll get into a little bit of that today. I feel like we kind of got past the deeper parts of the study and some of the wilder thoughts. But we may find ourselves back into a little bit today.

[5:03] Notice in Genesis chapter 1 and verse 27. The Bible says, So God created man in his own image. In the image of God created he him.

[5:14] Male and female created he them. And God blessed them. And God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it.

[5:28] And he goes on with the dominion over all that he created. So God's first command, the very first command to the man and to the woman, to the male and female, The very first thing we know of mentioned in the Bible is to be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth.

[5:48] This is an institution, what we call, of the family. Or God's instituting a new thing. And literally, I mean a brand new thing. It was never around before where there was a male and a female and they were creating offspring that were reproducing themselves.

[6:06] And we'll come back, maybe I think full circle to that thought later. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 7, Let every man have his own wife and let every woman have her own husband.

[6:18] And that is the way God designed it. He intended it for a man, for a woman, and for them to have a family, to have children, offspring, and to multiply. And that's the only way it works, is for a man and a woman to come together and God to bless that marriage and for them to multiply.

[6:37] And I could go off on comments about today and to, you know, what men and men and women and women and it doesn't work and how they have to, you know, train you to believe that, that they cannot reproduce themselves is the point.

[6:53] And I don't want to just get derailed onto that kind of stuff. But let's pray before we go any further. Father, we ask that you'll bless our time and that you'll guide our thoughts here in the scripture.

[7:04] Help us to have our eyes opened and be fully aware of the devices of our adversary, the devil. Help us not to just be looking for some wild thought from the Bible to intrigue us.

[7:18] But Lord, may this be applicable. May we fully understand the truth of what has happened, what is happening today, and understand that it's an attack on you and on your character and on your holiness and on your design.

[7:31] And Lord, help us to stand up for the truth and not be ashamed of it and to stand on your side no matter what. We ask this in Christ's name. Amen. Alright, so Satan has been perverting what God has instituted here.

[7:45] The very first thing he instituted was a family, the man and his wife, and told them to be fruitful. You know, I personally, I'll just say it as a me thing, a thought of mine, and then try to give you some reasoning from the scriptures.

[8:00] I believe that any perversion of what God intended and of what we see that God designed here is satanic in nature and driven by an unclean spirit.

[8:14] Now, you might say, oh, you think, every sin that everybody does, what about men with their lusts and burning and all of that? And I know, but I think, I think we'll see today that Satan got involved early with a plan to, as we're studying, to oppose God.

[8:32] And it's not just that one day, some man woke up and thought, like back in early Genesis, oh, that guy over there is cute. I don't think that ever happened, ever.

[8:44] There's a spirit behind that and it's alive today. Now, today, people are so dead in this and they're so confused and they've been deceived about this that they believe that when they have a thought as a child or as a teenager or a middle-aged kid as their body's changing and they just are confused or have thoughts, they think that it's because of something that was programmed inside of them and they're dead wrong.

[9:13] Either, number one, it was programmed in them from the junk they're watching from this filthy world that's promoting things in their face that are untrue and lies or there's a spirit that whether it's in the media and through those mediums or it's actually a straight-up spirit speaking in their ears saying, you should do this or think that way.

[9:35] They're being influenced from something on the outside and they don't perceive that and they're dead in their trespasses and sins many times and they don't realize the spiritual battle going on.

[9:46] Now, I think Satan's behind from the very beginning. Now, again, I don't point the finger at the devil every time somebody sins but I did make a pretty good case if you remember the scripture that in 1 John we read the passages that Christ was manifested to take away our sins and a few verses later it says he was manifested to destroy the works of the devil which are one and the same, our sins being the works of the devil and the better case for that is putting Ephesians chapter 2 on top of it where it describes us being dead in our trespasses and sins wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world and it describes that we walked according or being influenced by the God of this world or the one that was called the prince of the power of the air and it's the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience the works of the devil he's working in the children of disobedience and they're dead in trespasses and sins and tried to make the case that sin he's putting that on he's pushing that on the world and trying to keep mankind in a deluded state of sin why?

[10:54] to oppose God to bring on judgment God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance and so if that's true of what God's character and nature desires of man then Satan's opposing that and he's just putting the sin on and pushing him and pushing him and pushing him further and further and further I believe there's absolutely a spirit behind the perversion of our day pushing man and pushing the world to go against what God institutes you won't find a Bible verse anywhere where God allows accepts or promotes the perversion that's in our world today if you believe that what's going on today with men and men and women and women and changing your sexuality and trans and all of those letters if you think that's really okay and we should accept it you can't put a Bible verse on it to back that up so you don't have God you're not on God's side and God's not on your side if you believe that and I'm doubting that you believe that but let's make sure we stand where God stands on this let's look at a few verses and then we'll buckle up and take a ride so go to Genesis 13 in Genesis 13 we catch a little bit of a word about a city specifically the men of the city it's in verse number 13 in the previous verse that Abram pitched his tent towards Sodom but the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly exceedingly wicked and sinners and the phrase before the Lord is showing that they are in the face of God not caring what's right or wrong in God's eyes they're just doing what they're doing and that's a phrase you'll see in the Bible a lot the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners no really no description of their sin specifically until we end up in Sodom in a few chapters look over at chapter number 19 and once the Bible narrative brings you into the town you find out what the men of Sodom were about in chapter 19 this is where

[13:20] God he says that actually back up to chapter 18 in verse 20 notice what God says about these it's not just Sodom now it's Gomorrah as well in verse 20 of chapter 18 the Lord said because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great and because their sin is very grievous I will go down now and see where they've done all together according to the cry of it and he's about ready to destroy these two cities their sin is very grievous so in chapter 19 the angels show up to Sodom and there's Lot that greets him and meets him in the gate takes him to his house and in verse number 4 but before they lay down the men of the city even the men of Sodom come past the house round both old and young all the people from every quarter and they called unto Lot and said unto him where are the men which came into thee this night bring them out unto us that we may know them and they're not just wanting to meet and greet and get their names they're perverts like sexually perverted and in

[14:31] Genesis chapter 4 Adam knew Eve his wife and she conceived and bare a son it's a sexual thing that the word and it's your King James Bible as always being very discreet when it comes to these things now that's the context and that's the truth of what these filthy men want to do and notice Lot's response in verse 7 I pray you brethren do not so wickedly and he offers him up his two daughters which is unimaginable to me nevertheless the men the angels get involved and they shut the door and smite the men with blindness and God ends up destroying those two cities in verse 24 the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven and they deserved it now there's some real perversion going on there okay so understand though that what's taking place here is not an isolated thing on the earth and it didn't stop with Sodom and Gomorrah and a few other towns around there that God destroyed come to first kings no come to Leviticus go to

[15:48] Leviticus chapter 18 this is not a topic I really care to discuss with you on a Sunday morning but if you're going to hear about it and learn about it it better be from the bible than from some other way so let's just get it through God's eyes what he describes Leviticus chapter 18 and there is some real real perversion going on this is hundreds of years past what took place with Abram and Lot and now the children of Israel are coming out of the land and they're going through the wilderness and they're going to go into the land of Canaan and overthrow the nations there and one of the reasons among many was because of the wickedness of the men in that land and in chapter 18 he's giving you this list of sexual things that you're to abstain from and be a holy people unto God and

[16:55] I'm not going to go through all of the verses here but I'll just come up to I want to point out one thing before verse 22 is where it talks about man but 21 first I want you to see this if you skim this you're going to see this is all about nakedness and defiling and incest and things of that nature and right in the middle of that in verse 21 thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God I am the Lord I'm pointing this out to show you that in the context and this is not an isolated verse either there is pagan and heathenistic idol worship in the context of all this sexual sin and perversion that's all pointing out to you here right slap in the middle of it he mentioned something about it doesn't go into details of the practice or what's going on but there is absolutely perversion and fornication connected to the idol worship and worship of heathen gods going on it's they're one in the same way they're connected by far now moving forward look at verse 22 thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind why it's abomination that's why and that's men with men and then there's beasts in verse 23 which is filthy and disgusting and perverted and that's not to happen and if you do you're supposed to die you're supposed to kill them if you do look at verse 24 defile which

[18:37] I cast out before you and the land is defiled therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants and he goes on to talk a little bit more I'm not going to go any further with it but you get the concept there are some very wicked things going on and it's even connected with and associated with devil worship now keep moving to your right and come to first kings chapter 14 so you have a good king David and he reigns 40 years and his son follows him Solomon and things were pretty good for most of the time 40 years and then what follows him is his son Rehoboam and here we find the reign of Rehoboam in Levitic I'm sorry first kings chapter 14 and you'll see his name in verse 21 and all in all the synopsis here in the book of kings is that he was no good he had some bright spots but here it just says in verse 21 you see

[19:47] Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah he's 41 years old in verse 22 Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord provoked him the jealousy with their sins has to do with where they worshipped their devils and verse 24 and there were also sodomites in the land imagine that going hand in hand with their devil worship so they're back in the land how did they get in land where did they come from these are Israelites it's showing up a sin amongst God's people move forward to 1 Kings 15 and a good guy takes over eventually Asa and in 1 Kings 15 Asa tries to clean up the land verse number 11 says Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord as did David his father and he took away the sodomites out of the land and removed all the idols notice there they are again hand in hand this time in the same verse all the idols that his fathers had made and he talks about his mother and what he had to do there okay so

[20:53] Asa gets rid of him or does his best to look at chapter 22 because he didn't get rid of them all that spirit still around seducing and enticing and thriving in chapter 22 of 1 Kings and just come to verse number 46 speaking of Jehoshaphat it says in verse 46 and the remnant of the sodomites which remained in the days of his father Asa he took out of the land so there was some he didn't get out of there but his son showed up and when a second generation shows up to reaffirm and to continue on righteous ways and living for God things get cleaner maybe the one generation just couldn't do it all at one time and there was a lot to undo but praise the Lord for a second generation that comes behind and things get a little bit stronger but let's go later still go to 2nd Kings 23 and we're fast forwarding through some time here and things went downhill really bad really bad and watch this by the time that

[22:05] Josiah takes the throne and he's a good guy things have gotten ugly and I can't even describe and I understand the steps and how long this took to get to this place but you'll see that he's destroying things and you'll see it in verse 4 and 5 and 6 there's all this you'll see Baal in verse 5 these priests and what they're doing it's all idol worship and worshiping devils and in verse number 7 and he break down the houses of the sodomites now notice this that were by the house of the Lord what in the world we're talking about Jerusalem we're talking about the capital city of the land or specifically the kingdom of

[23:10] Judah not just in its capital city but at its most holy place in the capital city where the temple of God is so so so sodomites have their houses I don't think this is just like one man lived there or one guy lived there I think this is like a hotel if I could say it like that something to that effect the houses of the sodomites what's going on in that land connected to the worshiping of idols when they come into to the so they're supposed to make their pilgrimage to the temple at certain times to feast and to sacrifice and offer to the Lord holy things but I think what's going on has gotten so far that they're coming to do their pagan filthy wicked worship and practice and do and celebrate the way they practice and it's bad.

[24:00] now you would expect if there's such a thing in the land or in the city that it's over in that district you know it's down there in the slums or it's where it's where you know the business isn't taking place it's where the upper class of society is not frequenting it's down there.

[24:21] if you want to find it you could find it over in that district you know the red light district or the ghettos. this is at the temple of God. this is at the highest place that the city can boast.

[24:34] its greatest area or district. its holy place. if you read about this place back in Solomon's day and what it was like with the singers and with the sacrifice and oh what a change.

[24:50] you've come what a long way you've come to get into chapter 23 of 2nd Kings where there's houses as it calls them of sodomites beside the temple that were by the house of the Lord.

[25:04] so anyway this thing is it's satanic in nature and in spirit and it's in this case it's openly it's open abomination in the capital city.

[25:16] now that's nothing new. what we're reading here sounds horrible. that's nothing new. because I went to Veterans Park just the other day and you know what's flying on the flagpole?

[25:29] you know what's flying on the flagpole. if you've been around this city. that's open right there. that's in your face. and it's officially the month of June, pride month.

[25:44] it's celebrated heavily among most networks and outlets. this sin of perversion. and our land, and our land, this land, where that just celebrated a few days ago Memorial Day and had a quick little holiday for it.

[26:04] and you want to talk about some patriotism and associating and considering and caring about your veterans. and as soon as that day's over, boom, up goes the filth for a full month.

[26:15] a full month. that this perversion has to be shoved in your face. this is a land that's openly and officially, it's not tolerating this, it's promoting this.

[26:28] no, no, no, it's celebrating this. there's a big difference between just accepting it or giving somebody their place and their freedoms and their rights. that's not what's happening in your land.

[26:40] they're not just getting their rights, they're getting celebrated. and that's scary to me. it's hard to live in this land and to listen to, not just this president, every president is the same when it comes to this stuff.

[26:56] so don't get thinking that one's bad and one's good. every single one that ever comes down the line is going to do the same stuff with this. nobody's going to stop it. you do know that, right? i hope you believe that.

[27:07] i hope you realize, no one man is going to stand up in Washington, D.C. and put an end to this filth. or just say, you can have your, you know, you can have your lifestyles, but we're not going to promote it from the White House.

[27:20] that's not going to happen. because there's a spirit behind it. and they're all being led of the spirit, whether they realize it or not. so they're celebrating this perversion.

[27:30] and they get more exposure than any of our national holidays get. they get a full month. now, it ought to be obvious to the Bible-believing Christian that there's an unclean spirit, a satanic force, a satanic power that is driving this, that is pushing it, and the acceptance of it.

[27:54] consider the actual size of this community and try to put that into proportion. it doesn't match with the amount of airplay and the influence and the boldness of this movement, of the LGBTQ...

[28:12] I don't care if I don't know the rest of them. I'm not too happy that I know that many. and I know there's more. but to consider that they have the power of our land behind them.

[28:27] the power and influence of our government and of every major network. every major network is promoting and celebrating it. all the political parties are promoting and celebrating it.

[28:42] Republican, Democrat, Liberal, Conservative, doesn't matter. they're all standing behind pulpits and making statements about how we are for you. every single one of them. so don't think it's about a political party.

[28:54] it's not. all of them are pushing it. and they're promoting it. all the organizations in our land are celebrating it and giving out their free flags or free rainbow-colored ice cream or whatever it is.

[29:09] they're all promoting it. all the corporations are celebrating it and encouraging, and what they're doing is advancing this abomination in our land. so I see it as a satanic move to oppose God's will in accordance with our studies and to force his hand of judgment upon a land that once had a Bible and once put out missionaries more than anybody else and once preached and had revivals.

[29:35] in this very land there was revivals. like full-on Holy Ghost moving revivals where people cried and got saved and got right and repented of their sins and towns cleaned up and I mean that's in the past.

[29:52] don't be deluded. it is in the past. it's not coming back. but this was the land where some of that took place. this land now has already years ago put a rainbow on its White House and they fly the flag there I'm sure as well.

[30:10] what I see is this satanic movement, Satan pushing God's buttons as much as he can and I think it's a lot deeper than just an attempt to destroy America like some of the preachers who walk around preaching.

[30:22] it's more than just his attempt to destroy the home. I think there's something all the way back to where we started in Genesis chapter 1 and God creates a man and he creates a male and female tells them to be fruitful and multiply and I think something took place there in the mind of Satan and this is just an offshoot of that and this is where we're going to step off we don't have a whole lot of time here but let's try it.

[30:51] go to Jude Jude, the book of Jude all the way back near Revelation and while you're getting Jude if you can get 2 Peter chapter 2 and we're going to kind of look at this backwards kind of going to the end and then working our way back to the beginning in Jude verse number 6 notice that there's angels that did something they shouldn't have in verse number 6 it says and the angels which kept not their first estate but left their own habitation he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness under the judgment of the great day so there's angels that did something that God is going to judge them for and in the time being they're reserved in everlasting chains under darkness and there's no real explanation there what they did but there's a hint in the next verse it says even as there's a connection to Sodom and Gomorrah well we just read about that and the cities about them in like manner what did they do giving themselves over to fornication and going after strange flesh or set forth for an example suffering the vengeance of eternal fire so there's judgment for them as well there's judgment waiting for the angels and them leaving their habitation and their first estate it says there's judgment coming for them even as the way God judged the men of Sodom for their what for fornication and strange flesh so come back to 2 Peter chapter 2 and let's read what it says here and you'll see there's a connection it's the same context here and now this time it gives us the timing of what's going on what what this left their first estate means or their habitation in 2 Peter 2 verse 4 for if God spared not the angels that sinned but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness there's that again to be reserved unto judgment there's that again so these angels that left their first estate or that left their their first or their habitation it says they sinned well that explains why they're in chains of darkness and there's judgment coming and it says they were cast down to hell verse 5 said it says and God spared not the old world but saved Noah now what's going on here angels sinned so God cast them down to hell and is reserving them there till judgment and he didn't spare the old world either in connection with their sin but he saved Noah a preacher of righteousness bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly and then you get into

[33:58] Sodom and Gomorrah very next verse so what is this sin that these angels committed in the days of Noah verse 5 he spared not the angels that sinned and spared not the old world and it's not two separate things and I don't have the time to really break the passage down but he's talking about judgment in verse 3 and how God can deliver the godly and so if you want to study the passage you'll see that there's judgment and then deliverance judgment and then deliverance and there's no deliverance in between 4 and 5 because these are one in the same occurrence there's the angels that sinned in the old world and then he saved Noah from that and then it follows with Sodom and Gomorrah and he saved Lot so those 4 and 5 go absolutely together of the timing of angel sinning alright so let's go back to Genesis chapter 6 so there's angels that have left their first habitation to sin a particular sin and God judged that and is holding them in hell rather until they're awaiting judgment their final judgment and the timing of it is the days of Noah the comparison of it is going after strange flesh as he describes the men of Sodom so what were these angels doing what was their sin

[35:24] Genesis chapter 6 verse 1 and it came to pass comma when men began to multiply on the face of the earth comma and daughters were born unto them pause Moses writes chapter 1 and 2 creation chapter 3 the fall chapter 4 what took place and transpired with Cain and Abel and then just a couple generations and then chapter 5 it's just a genealogy all the way up to Noah and Moses again he's 2500 years later he's looking back writing down under inspiration of the Holy Ghost what took place he wasn't there he never met one of these guys a day in his life and he's just writing what God's telling him to write and as he's giving from Adam chapter 5 verse 1 to Noah chapter 5 verse 32 he gets to Noah and then he stops with his sons and he says alright I gotta give some backdrop to what's taking place in the days of Noah and this whole flood which we get into in 6, 7, 8, and 9 so when he gets to chapter 5 and finishes with Noah okay now let's back up it came to pass when men began to multiply on the face of the earth that's not like

[36:42] Noah was born and men began to multiply this has been going on for generations that men began to multiply and daughters were born unto them Adam and Eve had daughters chapter 5 verse 4 they had sons and daughters so chapter 6 it came to pass when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born unto them that the sons of God who were they the sons of God saw the daughters of men there's definitely a comparison or a contrast between God and men the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair and they took them wise of all which they chose and when that took place the Lord wasn't happy verse 3 the Lord said my spirit shall not always strive with man for that he also is flesh he's flesh yet his days shall be in 120 years verse 4 what's the product of this relationship in verse 2 there were giants in the earth in those days and also after that when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men and they bare children to them the same became mighty men which were of all men of renown and what follows is God's repented that he had made man on the earth and he's destroying the whole thing now angels the sons of God are angels

[38:04] I don't have time to take you to run those that list of verses you can read in Job chapter 1 and 2 that the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord and Satan came also with them so these are not human beings they're not the offspring of Seth that's a stupid idea that some teach these are the sons of God they're angels they're beings created by God when we get saved he gives us the power to become the sons of God John chapter 1 have you ever read that and it says in the resurrection we'll be as the angels of God in heaven it's not hard to make this contact or connection in scripture these are spiritual beings now they cohabitated with human beings and produced a race of giants men of renown so the mythical creatures of ancient literature they're not so mythical after all I'm sure there's a distortion over time of what they actually were but there's an actual and very real basis for some of the what they call mythological creatures and beings these strong men these gods as they call them if they're distorted in the beliefs and the drawings possibly but historically there is accuracy to men of renown and giants in the land that were capable of some phenomenal and amazing feats now so far

[39:34] I hope you're with me this is just scripture and this is just history but the question then comes up and we gotta close here why the cohabitation why and I'll tell you why because there's a satanic attack to overthrow the human race that God created and this you gotta know a little bit more about what took place before Adam and Eve to understand this fully Satan wants to regain control of what he lost and before Adam and Eve Satan had control of something and we could look at a few passages to point out some thoughts on that that God judged that thing in a rebellion and he shoved that thing that whole earth down into a deep of water a great deep it's called and submerged it and destroyed it and the earth was without form and void and darkness upon the face of the deep there was total destruction and then God recreates something and instead of giving all this power to his beings he puts on and he makes them out of the dust of the ground and so now man as we know is made a little lower than the angels on purpose and he is now confined to this planet doesn't have the ability or the power that he had before or that the original beings that God put on the earth had and now man is confined to the planet confined to the atmosphere and has a whole new world in front of him and it was good and God made a man on the earth and he is replacing the other creation and Satan sees something here and he wants to get dominion over this earth again

[41:16] I think he wants to have his own nation again and so backing up to the garden of Eden following Satan's rebellion and following the destruction of the earth we get a new creation with a man that God makes and puts on the earth and he gives him dominion over the whole thing and then he says it's not good that man should be alone and he's going to make a woman and he makes he causes a deep sleep to come upon Adam and he takes a rib out of him you can read that back there a few chapters earlier and he makes a woman and brings her to the man and he calls her woman and she's the mother of all living now what you need to understand and which you probably I don't think about this unless I really am focused on this thought and what's going on is that there's never ever ever been a woman ever this is a completely brand new thought or concept every time you read about angels they're always male every time

[42:18] God he male always and Lucifer Michael Gabriel anything you've ever read or know of it's all male it's not generic or neutral it's always male male male because that's the image of God and he created all of his creation like that and now he makes another one on the planet and it's like oh he's a little lower than the angels but there he is and then God makes this woman and no one has ever conceived this in their mind has ever seen this in their eyes I imagine the the beings the heavenly host or all of them evil and holy alike are looking and saying what is that like no really it's like that's a man it looks like us very much similar to us but but what is that that's a different it's kind of like a man but it's not a man it's definitely not a man it's a little smaller it's shape is a little different what is what is this thing the bible says that oh

[43:30] I'll create a help meat for him oh it's a helper yeah really and I think I now if I'm you know weird in my thought that's okay give me a little space for it but thanks Greg but God creates a a woman and this is you gotta get it it's the first time there's never ever ever ever ever been something like this before the angels have been around for a long time and more than beyond them been around for a long time and now God does something brand new on this planet and there's a woman and they're looking at her like what in the world and then the word begins to spread did you hear what God told them God just told them to be fruitful and multiply God told them to multiply how are you gonna multiply we can't multiply how are they gonna multiply and somebody whispers in their ear and like oh what and I can see the the the minds of the angels and the host of heaven just one after another being blown and their eyes being open and saying that woman can make men she can make men that's what she's here for now I know you're offended because I didn't say women but that's all they know is men that's all it ever is all it ever was and now there's this other thing but she has the ability to make more men and they just were who hath known the mind of the Lord that he would come up with this he gave him he gave to him this this other being that can make men and now they're gonna make more men and they're gonna just be fruitful and populate this planet without God

[45:24] God's not doing this I know everybody says it's a gift of God and everything I get that but God set it in motion and he gave them the ability and it's them now go do it have a family repopulate and they were to born unto them were sons and daughters and on it went and now getting back to this whole perversion and satanic backing that we're studying here when man has this woman there's only one in the universe just one I believe that our adversary the devil in his jealousy for man having dominion of this earth that was once his and for his hatred toward God and seeking to oppose him not just wants to cause man to sin as we see in Genesis 3 but when he sees this woman he begins scheming and he watches man grow in population and he can only manifest himself as in a spiritual sense his spirit can manifest himself as devils we've studied that unclean spirits but he can't reproduce his being he can't have a son he can't make a son he can't have more of himself but could he use this new technology for his advantage this woman thing that's capable of making more men could that be used for his advantage could he do something with that and then we move forward into chapter 6 where we're studying and seeing that the sons of

[47:04] God give up their estate and their habitation for a relationship with a human woman and I don't think they're just motivated by lust I don't think that's even I don't even know if that's possible maybe it is but I'm not sure but I believe there's a bigger picture in what's happening in Genesis 6 a bigger plan behind this movement and these giants that are being born unto them such a plan and movement that God would destroy the whole thing and he destroyed the animals too in verse 7 he just said I'm destroying man and beast and there's a reason he did that too and it's not just some sexual perversion thing it's a plan and it's something that Satan was doing that he was getting involved understanding understanding this reproduction thing and manipulating it and creating and mutating it in some way that God said this is not good what God created it was good but what's taking place now in Genesis 6 is not good and it's going to get worse and the

[48:23] Lord decided I've got to destroy this whole thing it's all got to go man beast it's all done because it's gotten bad and so that's kind of a wilder version of this of what's going on in the behind the scenes maybe or inside the text there but the study here on his methods to oppose God he uses perversion and he's done it here in the family and in the natural thing that God established so we'll stop with that and then we'll come back next week and consider some more ways that he perverts what God is doing by I'll say some things just to lighten the whole room here on this heavy stuffAST
