Today’s Topic: The Signs in the Heavens: The Demonic Kingdom on Earth
Scripture: Haggai 2:6; Revelation 12:7-12
Greetings Kingdom Citizens
One of the greatest myths and mistakes that have been made in the Christian faith is believing every demonic attack is a personal one between you and Satan. We have extensively studied that the demonic is a kingdom themselves (Ephesians 6:12). The ruler or head of that kingdom is Satan. Now he is not the only one in the demonic kingdom. One-third of the original angels from Heaven that were kicked out are also in this realm. Now there are about 153 countries on the Earth that can be ruled by one of these fallen angels and it leaves a multitude to just roam and defile the earth with deception and lies. When we think with that concept we began to allow the spirit of discernment to show us or differentiate a demon from the Holy Spirit. When we learn that these spirits can talk to you and give you information then you can appreciate the importance of knowing the voice of the Lord. But at this current time the demonic kingdom is eternal and invisible and these creatures enjoy a slight advantage of invisibility and power over us. This is why having the Holy Spirit is so vital and having a relationship with the Holy Spirit is even more important because there are people who have the Holy Spirit but have no relationship with Him. Now after all of this, there is a day coming that the powers of Heaven will be shaken and what can be moved will be and we discussed and concluded that the demonic kingdom will no longer enjoy invisibility but will be cast into the visible world with power. Now I do not want you to think this is just talk, so let’s look at the scripture for confirmation.
Revelation 12:7-12
Verse 7-8
In this scripture we see this clash between the angels of God lead by Michael the archangel and the dragon, satan and his angels. So it is evident that this is a war and it will be the final climatic war in the sense of the demonic staying in the heavenly. How do we know? Verse 8 tells us that the demonic did not prevail and neither was there place found any more in heaven. So if the demonic is not in the heavens where are they?
Verse 9
Here is our answer and it starts out describing who was kicked out of the heavenly and where they were thrown to. The Devil, that old serpent, the dragon, Satan (what a set of names) was cast out into the Earth, AND HIS ANGELS WERE CAST OUT WITH HIM. Now I do not care how someone tries to picture this or shape it. The Word is clear when He says, that Satan and his angels will be cast out into the Earth. No more invisibility, but nowhere here is it stated that they would not have power. So imagine this, what do you think the human race will see and feel when these demonic fallen angels are no longer invisible but face-to-face with mankind? Bone-chilling isn’t it. But the next scripture is a wonderful one despite the horror and wrath that will come to the Earth.
Verse 10-11
In this wonderful scripture when demonic kingdom is cast into the Earth, look what now happens: “Now is come the salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ.” Ok this should make you feel good inside. The full power of the Kingdom of God will now be given to the saints when the demonic hit the Earth. Right now we all have the Holy Ghost but the power is imparted to us to complete a certain task, but the full power will be given to the saints when the demonic are on Earth. When the saints received this power the scripture says they overcame the demonic by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony and they loved not their lives unto death. See no longer will these saints care or try to protect their lives because they understand that they are fully empowered and will lay down their lives doing the perfect will of God with the full power of the Kingdom.
Verse 12
Now God tells the heavens to rejoice when this happens but then He gives a warning in the same verse. Woe to the inhibiters of the earth because the devil is come down to you having great wrath because he knows that he hath but a short time. Now this is one of the unique scriptures in the Bible because now we see the devil and the demonic no longer associated with the eternal but with time. No wonder the devil will be so angry because now he is subject to time and he knows that he will die in the eternal lake of fire.
Now with all of this, how will we know when this will happen or will we know when it will happen? The answer is we will know and there will be signs in sun, stars and moon in our heavens will tell us when.
