 My message this morning is that you a unique one is called a biblical look at Satan in Bible prophets You say brother purpose. Why are you gonna talk about the devil? Because the devil's in the scriptures and God wants to help you this morning So I want you to bow your heart as we ask the Lord to bless his word father We love you as always father's a privilege and an honor first and foremost as we stand before you the creator of all life Our holy God we worship and we thank you Lord it's a privilege as well to stand before your people this morning and Lord I asked this morning by your Holy Spirit I said you would open the scriptures to our hearts Remove fear remove remove confusion regarding the devil Lord Exposed the enemy today and Lord let us see his in through the scriptures Lord we thank you this day and again we come against every scheme of the enemy that will try to hinder this word Lord I pray that this message fall upon a good ground in our hearts today in Jesus name. Amen a Biblical look at Satan in Bible prophecy now. You said brother purpose. Why do you have this red? This cartoon looking devil, but most time you see the devil. He's all menacing and just bring fear Well, I didn't want to I didn't want to show you a devil like that because what I want you understand Now the devil is real. He is he is menacing But you know you don't have to be afraid of the devil as a born-again believer And we don't allow the word of God to to help us today And again, you don't have to be afraid of the devil or afraid of this message now. I'm a topical teacher I'm gonna give you a number of topics today. I'm gonna define who is Satan We're gonna see who created Lucifer Then I'm gonna give you some names the Bible give in reference to Satan Then we'll look at how did Lucifer fall and become Satan how did it happen? Then we'll look at how do we defeat Satan in our lives? Every Christian here you can defeat the devil and I'm gonna show you how it based on the word of God Then we're gonna close up my favorite part of this study looking at Satan's demise in the script We're gonna see the devil's demise a shadow in the first service that before I became a prophecy teacher I was a Christian But I was afraid to go into the book of Revelation and reason being because when I was younger I was taught that you should never study the book of Revelation I was taught as in church and I taught I was taught if you go to church and you you start reading the book of Revelation Revelation or studying it you could lose your mind So I didn't want to lose my mind. So I didn't go into the book of Revelation But what I found out later on when the Lord called me to this area of teaching Bible prophecy I found out that that was a lie from the devil the devil did not want me to know his end and We're gonna see today the devil's in that's locked in the book of Revelation. We're gonna see that but we're gonna look at a Biblical look at him now who is Satan? So we're gonna look at Satan. I'm a quote here Billy Graham Listen when he says he says don't think of Satan as a harmless cartoon character with a red suit and a pitchfork He is very clever and powerful and his unchanging purpose is to defeat God's plan at every turn Including his plans for your life We don't see today that we have an enemy an arc enemy out there. The devil does not care about you He wants your demise And again the devil is not this red slicker suit devil I mean every devil picture I saw back in the day He was in a red slicker suit and a pitchfork in his hand as a matter of fact How did this concept come into being the concept of a red devil suit? The concept of a red devil seems to have been taken take it taking its appearance from the Greco-Roman pan It was like it was like a horned goat Erling Erling Berlin helped to popularize the red horn devil in 1913 with a song at the devil's ball from there the character became an Advertising icon for products like Underwood devil ham A fireworks company several different regiments or divisions or squadrons of the military a lot of military guys Like like to have a devil on their shoulder, you know with the red devils or whatever But it was a concept that became an icon But again, this is really not the devil now This picture you see here when I was 14 years old. I actually saw this sitcom Paramount Put this sitcom out is called the poor devil starring Sammy Davis Jr. Now, I want you to look at this we're gonna play about about a minute of this little this little sitcom And I want you to watch Sammy Davis Jr. In Hell Get him to play it for us Tension all new arrivals to hell Please have the pink yellow and green forms completely filled out all new arrivals entering on seven-year contracts Must have the aforementioned form as well as notarized copies of contracts or documented proof there are Hello furnace room Sammy speaking This is Chelsea. Hi, baby You remember the man that you've been watching, but why don't you keep insisting is a hot prospect? Yeah Well, I've got him here on the monitor and you were right Really? He's exactly what you've been waiting for. Can you come up right now? Oh honey, if I come up there now and Lucifer catches me I'm gonna be in all kinds of trouble. Oh, honey. You can't get more trouble than what you're all right now Come on. I'm Sammy You're right. See you now. I was a 14-year-old kid Very impressionable. I wasn't saved when I saw this movie first thing I thought Man when I go to hell, that's the job. I want I'm gonna keep them colds of burning on them centers, man But you know something that's a misconception You know the devil is not in hell nor does he control any flame in hell. He can't turn it up He can't turn it down the devil is afraid of hell and Again, this this motion picture. I mean this this sitcom was was out there a lot of people watched it Here's another one. Some of you may have seen this one Lucifer this was another sitcom Lucifer makes prime time one commentator said that the masses are increasingly obsessed with evil So why not make a program glorifying Satan? You might say that Hollywood has done that for decades and featured Featured their offerings to the evil one on the big screen and You would be correct But this program will be prime time Available to millions with just a push of the remote Satan disguised as mr. Nice guy will come leaping into the family rooms of millions of unsuspecting people and Particularly into the minds of impressionable young people now This sitcom was amazing here because they showed Satan he left hell He went to Los Angeles and he he opened up a nightclub and The devil you know these demons were trying to come to him to get him to come back to hell to torment people Which was a total lie The devil has nothing to do with hell and we don't see that today Other than it's a judgment of God. We're gonna see that now who is Satan? According to the scriptures. I'm gonna give you a number of scriptures today I would encourage you to write these verses down Jesus talking here in John chapter 8 verses 43 and 44 He said why does thou not Understand my speech even because you cannot hear my word Jesus said you are of your father the devil and the lust of your father will ye do for he is or he was a murderer from the beginning and a bold not in the truth Because there is no truth in him when he speaketh a lie He speaketh of his own for he is a liar and the father of it the scripture tell us a lot about the devil Satan is a liar He was a murderer from the beginning and he abode not in the truth. This is what the scripture tell us about the devil Here's another one John 10 10 Jesus said the thief cometh Not but to but for to steal and to kill and to destroy Jesus said I am come that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly So here the scripture tells us the devil is a thief. He comes to steal to kill and to destroy Listen, the devil is not your friend a Lot of people play with the devil Listen get as far away from the devil as you can he cannot be trusted He's a liar. Look at this one John chapter 12 verse 31 now is this judgment and now is now is the judgment of this world Now shall the prince of this world be cast out now here Jesus called the devil the prince of this world that he's the prince and he's cast out if you notice There's a lower case P there. He's not the prince. Jesus is the prince of princes Jesus the prince of peace Satan is the prince of this world and he will be cast out The judgment is already set for him. Look at this one first Peter chapter 5 verse 8 Peter wrote be sober Be vigilant because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walketh about seeking whom he may devour Here Peter calls devil the devil our adversary and that he is as a roaring lion Now he's not a roaring lion, but he's as a roaring lion and he's walking about Seeking whom he may devour this lets us know that Satan cannot devour everybody And I'm a happy today Christian you do not have to be afraid of the devil You don't have to be afraid of the enemy. I made a statement this morning The weakest Christian on his knees praying to God is stronger than any devil And we're gonna see that today Don't want you to God want you to understand your place now I know some people afraid to clap man because the devil might see me clapping. I don't want to clap at that But in this message you're gonna be clapping Second Corinthians chapter 4 verse 4 look what Paul wrote He says in whom the God of this world lowercase g the God of this world have blinded the minds of them Which believe not lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ who is the image of God? Should shine unto them here Paul said that Satan is the God lowercase g the God of this world And he blinds the minds of them that don't believe, you know every one of us before we became Christ We were blinded by the devil, you know, I never saw the devil until I got saved When I became a Christian then I saw the devil. I saw how much how much control he had in my life When I got saved I said man the devil had me I was blinded to his works in my life and Many people are in that situation today Look at his Ephesians chapter 2 verse number 2 Paul wrote this. He said wherein in time pass You walked according to the course of this world According to the Prince lowercase again lowercase p there Prince of the air The spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience here Description reveals that Satan is the Prince of the power of the air is also letting us know that Satan's kingdom is in the Lord Heavens, you know Satan's kingdom is not in hell I hear people say all the time and that came from the pit of hell No, it didn't nothing comes from the pillow like that People say, you know, I'm gonna send you back to hell devil. No the devil has never been to hell as a matter of fact The devil is afraid of hell Satan's kingdom is in the Lord heavens You remember when Daniel prayed back in the book of Daniel and the Bible said that he prayed for 21 days The script says immediately when Daniel prayed God sent Gabriel to give him an answer And the script says that the Prince of Persia this principality this this demonic angel Hindered Gabriel from bringing Daniel his answer the Bible tells us that what God did God dispatched Michael the archangel To go and war with the Prince of Persia in order to release Gabriel to go and bring Daniel his answer So Satan's kingdom as the Prince of the air is in the Lord heavens. He's not in hell He's not running nothing from hell. It's a judgment of God. We're gonna see it a few minutes God want you to understand that Now who created Lucifer the Bible is gonna tell us something amazing in the beginning God created all good angels All were holy and set apart for the work of God But the scriptures go on to teach that there was an angelic Rebellion in heaven headed by none other than Lucifer the chief angel the anointed cherub Lucifer became so impressed with himself that he he wanted to overthrow God himself Satan was created as a good angel as matter all the angels were created good Satan was a perfect angel when God created him. Look at the text here found in found in Exodus chapter 20 not exes Ezekiel chapter 28 verses 14 and 15 The Ezekiel the prophet wrote thou art the anointed cherub talking about talking about Lucifer Thou art the anointed cherub that covered God says and I have set the soul Thou was upon the holy mountain of God Thou has walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire verse 15 Thou was perfect in thy ways from the day that thou was created when God made the devil He was perfect in all his words. He was a good angel till Iniquity was found in him. You know sin originated in the devil believe the nice things Angels have a will as well God did not force the angels. I mean angels have a will to do God's work or not and this is a good case in point here in heaven Satan chose to disobey God the scripture says iniquity was found in him. So I want to quote here Dr. Ron Rhodes from reasoning from the scripture ministry. Listen what he says about this. He said apparently This represents the actual beginning of sin in the universe Proceeding the fall Proceeding the fall of the human atom by the indeterminate time Sin originated in the free will of Lucifer in which with full understanding of the issues involved He he chose to rebel against the Creator the devil got caught up in himself He got caught up in his beauty I mean the Bible tells a lot about about how he looked at everything and he got caught up in himself and he tried to overthrow God It's like the it's like the it's like the the clay jar trying to overthrow the the potter who is making it and fashion it Why you put that that thing on that? So I don't like that But but the clay jar can't do that This was Lucifer he tried to overthrow God and Jesus said I saw Satan Fall from heaven like lightning That's how that's how that's how God deals with sin in heaven. He purges it immediately Look at this scripture. I love this so powerful. This is first John 3 8 First John 3 8 says he that committed sin is of the devil for the devil's Senate from the beginning For this purpose the Son of God was manifest that he might destroy the works of the devil I love this the Bible says Satan sinned from the beginning But Jesus was manifest that he might destroy the works of the devil Listen, if you born again today and Jesus lives in you, guess what you have the destroyer of the devil living in you Listen You got to understand your place and position Now the claps today they like they getting a little stronger Second Corinthians chapter 11 verse 13 through 15 look at Paul wrote for such are false apostles deceitful workers Transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ and no marvel for Satan himself Transformed into an angel of light Therefore, it is of no great thing if his ministers also transformed As the ministers of righteousness whose end shall be according to their works So Satan is a deceiver and you know something you gotta you got to know know the devil from the scripture because if you know The scripture that talks about the enemy you can you can identify him. I can see the devil now I see him every I can see him. I see his hands I can see him working and and the word God helps me to identify the enemy in my life And I can rebuke him out of my life. We're gonna see as we go forward here Now let me give you some names given to the devil given to Satan That's in scripture and again. It's good to know this look at this picture. I like this picture here here We have Satan He's called the serpent. He's called the deceiver. He's called the accuser He's called the the dragon or the great red dragon of Revelation chapter 12. He's called the fallen angel This is the devil. He's called Lucifer the enemy and again the Bible give us much more Scriptures in reference to him. So I'm gonna start off with a verse here in Revelation chapter 20 verse number two John wrote and he laid and he laid hold on the the dragon That old serpent, which is the devil and Satan and bound him a thousand years I'm gonna talk a little bit more about this we'll get to the latter part of the study But here an angel of God will be sent on assignment to bind Satan, but here he's called the dragon He's also called a dragon in chapter 12 revelation He's called the old serpent the old serpent was the serpent in the garden It's the same devil that tempted Adam and Eve. He's called the devil and Satan the accuser of the brother in These are four titles for the devil Quoting from the the track called angels. What do you need to know about dr. Ron rose? He's gonna give us some different names and characteristics about the devil and I'm gonna give you these scriptures These are good to note in your in your notes Again Satan revolution 1210 is called the accuser of the brother You know Satan accused you day and night before God when you fall you make a mistake You saying the devil accused you before God not only before God, but he also accused you to you You know, we make mistakes at times sometime we sin we fall you ask God to forgive you And when you do God will forgive you But you know something that little voice over your shoulder telling you you're not a Christian I thought you you're not a Christian if you was a Christian you wouldn't have done that You know something that's not the voice of God condemning you That's the accuser of the brother and you know something you need to rebuke the devil devil You are lying the name of Jesus the word of God says if I sin I confess my sins before God The Bible said Jesus in heaven he's righteous and judge to forgive me my sins put it under blood and move on and do the will of God Don't listen to the accuser of the brother in because the devil will condemn you He will he will stomp you in the ground if you let him He's called our adversary first Peter five eight an adversary. He he's an enemy out there He's an adversary. He's not your friend. You can't play with the devil He's called the devil Matthew chapter four verse one. He's called our enemy Matthew chapter 13 verse 30 now You got to know he's the enemy He's not your friend He's called the evil one Everything about the devil is evil first John 5 19 You know, it's amazing me the people that played with the devil don't play with the devil You know those saying you know if you let Satan ride he'll want to drive. Don't let him ride If you let him ride he'll want to drive. Don't let him ride Kick him kick him out Look at this one. He's called the father of lies the gospel of John chapter 8 verse 44 He's the father of Lies You know when the devil try to get you to lie you listen to the father of lie the creator of lies The Bible says he's a liar. He can't tell the truth the script said the devil. He cannot abode in the truth He's called a murderer John chapter 8 verse 44 He's also called as a roaring lion. We read this first Peter 5 8 and 9 He's also called the tempter Matthew chapter 4 verse 13, you know, the devil is a master Tempter, you know, he won't tempt you the way he attempts me But guess what he knows how to tempt you and the Bible tells us, you know We can escape every temptation that the enemy may bring toward us, but he's a master tempter one of Satan's greatest assets in a Posing the work of the Lord is is his deceitfulness Down through the centuries He has posed in roles that have caused men to think of him in any other Any way other than his true character Thus making it easier for him to lead them from God You got to be very very careful when you out there and you in your everyday life The enemy is forever. He's never resting to trip you up So therefore as a believer, we must be on guard At all times never never let your guards down with the devil Never take it easy in Zion because you have an enemy out there who's working overtime to bring shipwreck in your life But guess what you could have victory. We're gonna see that now. How did Lucifer? Fall how did it happen what happened in the eons of eternity that called him to cause him to fall Where the scripture tell us Jesus said he said he saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning After Lucifer's fall Lucifer's fall from heaven his name became Satan and his fallen angels became demons and spirits and fallen angels The gospel Luke chapter 10 verse 18 Jesus give the account and he said unto them I be held as I be held Satan as lightning fall from heaven How did this fall happen? What did he do to cause it to happen? Well, the Bible tells us in Isaiah chapter 14 verses 12 to 14 The script reads how are I fallen from heaven old Lucifer son of the morning? How has thou? Thou cut how art thou cut down to the ground which did weaken the nations For thou has said in thine heart. Here's Satan's problem. I will ascend into the heaven I will exalt my throne above the stars of God I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation in the size of the north. I will ascend above the heights of The clouds I will be like the most high Satan's problem was pride. He got caught up in his beauty He got caught up in his in his majesty and he felt that he can overthrow God but the problem was he actually deceived some angels in in following him and All of them were cast out of heaven like a lightning bolt He fell because of pride and God judged him speedily now How to defeat Satan every Christian? I want you listen to the verses about to give you because listen every Christian the weakest Christian on his knees is stronger than any devil God has given you something that's gonna really help you in the gospel of Luke chapter 10 verse 18 and 19 Jesus said and he said unto them I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven He said behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents and on scorpions and listen at this and over every and over all the powers of the enemy and Nothing shall by no means hurt you Jesus said I give you power believers Over all the power of the enemy Listen, all you gotta do is just fall on those knees. See when the devil when you know, you know When the devil brings brings trouble to you fall on your knees That's the power of God the devil can't stand when you go on your knees He he don't want you to pray because you praying for help from heaven and guess what Jesus I've given you power and authority Look at this one. I love this Ephesians chapter 6 verse 10 through 12 Paul said finally, brethren Be strong in the Lord now this strength is not your strength You're strong in the Lord be strong in the power of the Lord and in the power of his might Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand Against the wilds the wilds mean the trickery of the devil For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities Against pop against the rulers of darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places Listen the scripture says put on the whole armor of God It says stand strong in the power and might of the Lord See because you're born again Christian you have the might of God in you and guess what the devil Understands authority. He really does. This is why the weakest Christian who prays and take authority over the devil The devil has to move Jesus said I've given you authority over the works of the enemy. I've given you power over every power of the devil You need to use your authority. You know in my home. I rebuke the devil all the time When the devil show up, I said Satan I rebuke you in the name of Jesus get out of my house. I Do that. I Don't put it with his mess. I don't put it with this mess a Lot of times We allow the enemy to just come in and just wreck havoc in our house You know some Christian you need to stop and stand on your spiritual authority and take authority over the devil Satan you will not have my family Devil you will not have my son my daughter Saying I rebuke you in the name of Jesus and I come cast you out of my house You have authority as a believer Jesus giving you power to do that. You will not have my son and my daughter I rebuke this in their life in the name of Satan get out In my house. I say Lord, I pray for the peace of God to rest in my home I said oh when people come to my house I want them to feel the peace of heaven and you know people come to my house. They say, you know I feel so peaceful here. I say I know I know Yeah, cuz I pray for the peace of God to rest in my house. I bind the works of the devil. I Take a thought over the devil I'm not afraid of the devil Listen Christian I'm telling you from experience Because listen God have given every one of us the same authority Listen, just following your knees the devil the devil has to flee he has to flee Look at this James 4 verse 68 James wrote But he give us more grace Wherefore he said God resisted the proud but give a grace unto the humble submit yourselves therefore to God Resist the devil and he will flee from you draw night to God and he will draw night of you Cleanse your hands you sinners and purify your hearts. You double-minded. He said here resist the devil See the problem is we don't resist the devil. We just lay down to him He come in and wreck havoc in your house and you just you just laid out no devil you a lie This is gonna stop now in Jesus name. I Rebuke this in Jesus name Lord you've given me authority over this and I bind the works of the devil in my house in Jesus name It works thanks. I'm telling you look at this mark chapter 16 verse 17 Jesus said and these signs shall follow them that believe. Are you believers today? You're born again believers, right your believers Look what Jesus said and these signs shall follow them that believe Jesus said in my name Shall they cast out devils they shall speak with new tongues? He said if you're a believer in my name, you can cast out there guess what Jesus have given you authority to use his name Have you ever seen a police? Jump right out in the middle of traffic and just stand up like that and traffic stop They didn't stop because because he's a little man, you know, they stopped because the power that's behind him He can stop traffic by coming on 18 Willis They see the badge on his chest. He has been given authority and he has he has the government backing him up Guess what? We have heaven backing us up. We got to stand in the authority that he's given us Your believer he's giving you this authority. Look at this. I love this Revelation chapter 12 verse 11 and 12 the Bible talks here. It says and I heard a loud voice Saying in heaven now has come salvation and strength and the kingdom of our God for the power of his Christ For the accuser of the brethren is cast down which accused them before our God day and night and they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and By the word of their testimony and they love not their lives until the dead listen You being a you've been given authority by Christ to use his name You've been a thought being given authority by the blood of Christ, you know when you know when Satan tempted Jesus You ought to read them read those read that whole story when Satan tempt Jesus What did Jesus do Jesus use the word of God against the devil? The Bible says Satan this and Jesus said the scripture said and the Bible says Satan fled for a season Satan come he tempt Jesus said the word of God says and the devil had to flee You know the word the Bible says is the sword of the spirit Whenever Satan came Jesus pulled a sort of the spirit out the devil had to flee Let me tell you some saints you have this authority given to you by God and the devil knows He's afraid of the authority that Jesus have been given you you have the badge of Jesus on you and the devil sees it But you don't now as we come coming down to a close here We're gonna see the demise of Satan in screw This is my favorite part of the study because the Bible has prophesied the devil's in Matthew 25 41 says this Then shall they say then shall he say also to them on the left hand? Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire Prepared for the devil and his angels Matthew 25 41 Jesus is talking about When he is going to judge the goat and sheep nations at the end of Armageddon the nation will be brought before him He's on judge the goat and sheep nations sheep nations will be allowed into the kingdom the millennium the gold nations He would judge but he said you will be cast into everlasting fire this fire Was prepared for the devil and his angels You know it was never God's will for man to go to hell in the beginning But when the avenue sin God had to accommodate the fall of man Isaiah 5 says that hell have enlarged herself and opened her mouth without measure God had to accommodate the fall of man Well hell was originally created for the devil and guess what his day is coming So Satan will fall look at this Isaiah 14 15 It says yet thou talk about Satan thou shall be brought down to hell To the size of the pit they that see thee they that see Satan those that he had to go see Satan coming They that see these shall narrowly look at thee And and consider these saying is this the man that caused the earth to tremble That did shake the kingdoms that made the world as a wilderness and destroyed the cities thereof That opened not the house of the prisoners the Bible said when satan is casting the hell the people the inhabitants of hell They're going to see the devil coming down and they're going to say is that the man that caused the earth to tremble You mean to tell him I let that thing deceive me Let me tell you they're gonna see him and they're gonna narrow to look at him But satan is gonna come gonna go to hell The Bible says he opened not the house of his prisoners the scripture says Jesus he came on the scene Isaiah said Jesus came to open the house of the prisoners God's gonna judge the devil Revelation chapter 12 again verses 7 through 9 this is at the mid part of the great tribulation God is going to dispatch Michael the archangel to war against the devil From chapter 12 we're gonna see satan will be on a downhill trajectory to God's judgment Verse 7 of chapter 12 John wrote and there was war in heaven Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and the dragon fought against his angels and prevail not Neither was there found neither was their place found anymore in heaven or in satan's lower heavens in the lower perch His kingdom was no longer allowed anymore chapter 12 mid part revelation. He's cast from that perch And the dragon was cast out that old serpent called the devil and satan Which deceived the whole world and he was cast out into the earth and his angels were cast out with him So what's going to happen here at the time of the great tribulation at the mid part of the tribulation Satan will be cast out now We're going to see in a few minutes after satan is cast From the mid part of tribulation. God's going to dispatch an angel that's going to bind him in the bottomless pit So i'm going to bring my chart and this is our prophecy chart here Now you can see this. We are currently in the church. Hey, did you see a little arrow there? Right here is the mid part of the seven year tribulation Well at this point satan will be cast from his lower heavens to the earth And the bible said that he's coming down with great wrath because he knows that he's going to have a short time left The devil knows that his days are winding up From here God is going to cast him Into the bottomless pit at the close of the seven year tribulation satan will be cast into the bottomless pit For 1 000 years. So they have no influence to deceive mankind in the millennial and in the millennial kingdom Then god's going to release him for a season Then he will be cast into the lake of fire the eternal home for the devil This is the hell that god created for the devil and his angels satan By the mid part of the tribulation is on a downhill trajectory to judgment And he didn't want you to know that You know, so when the devil started messing with me, I started quoting these scriptures on the devil I started reminding him of his end And the devil has to flee so look here at revelation chapter 20 John wrote and I saw an angel come down from heaven Having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand And he laid hold on the dragon that old serpent, which is the devil and satan and bound him a thousand years 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 loose for a little season God's going to bind the devil in the in the lake in the lake in the bottomless pit for a thousand years He'll have no influence to deceive mankind in the millennium Even though Christ will be there in the millennia some people will still sin in the millennial reign Uh, and what's going to happen? They're going to sin without the tempter During the millennia people during the millennial kingdom people can't say the devil made me do it because his influence We will be bound in the bottomless pit Quoting dr. Dave riggan from his book uh god's plan for the age he said this Yet at the end this is at the end of the millennium yet at the end satan is released Most people will rally to him when he calls the nations to rebel against jesus Revolution chapter 20 verses 7 through 10 the millennium will prove that that what man needs is not a new society But a new heart Even in the millennial kingdom people will still accept christ those natural believers who come out of the tribulation into the millennium They they will still have to receive christ Just like we do today, but some people won't receive christ christ then and what's going to happen God's going to put him jesus going to put him in a perfect environment without the devil's Temptation and man will still sin during that time Not only that but they're going to they're going to reject christ even during the millennial kingdom while christ is here It's amazing So what god's going to do at the end of the thousand year reign God is going to release the devil from his prison Look at verse 7 and when the thousand years are expired satan shall be loosed out of his prison And shall go out to deceive the nations Which are in the four corners of the earth dog and may god to gather them together to battle The number of whom is as the sands of the sea at the close of the millennial kingdom It's going to be a great deception In the millennium at the end of the millennium these are people in the millennium kingdom who didn't accept christ Who didn't worship him and god's going to release satan's influence back into the millennial kingdom And it's going to expose the hearts of those men and women who have rejected christ look at verse nine And and went up on the breadth or the width 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 satan's going to have An army at the end of the millennium Many scholars call this satan's last revolt He's going to try to attack the millennial kingdom of christ But the bible says god's going to rain fire down and he's going to judge them But look at revelation chapter 20 verse Number 10 my favorite verse in the bible This is a verse that you need to write in your bible need to highlight it need to mark it Need to put in the front pages so when the devil start messing with you start quoting this passage Revelation 2010 look what it says 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 forever and ever You know this is the devil's end hell was created for the devil and his angels and revelation 2010 tells us that the devil Is going to meet his eternal judgment The devil's afraid of hell He don't want you to know that though The devil wants you to be afraid of him You know fear is a type of worship. We don't fear the devil. We fear god We reverence god We don't fear the devil because fear is a type of worship When you fear the devil you worshiping the devil. That's why I say parents Don't let your kids watch horror movies to teach the devil how to fear him Teach them how to fear god That means you're going to walk and you're going to walk and reverence you're going to respect god You're going to respect god's laws. I fear god.
