The point here being...it was a man which Satan entered into...

>>So it will also 'be a man'...not satan 'himself'. ( by himself) he will always need a man ..while the earth remains...

Well, that thinking, sorry to say, is a leader towards deception, and is what is taught in most Churches today.

Did you not know that the name 'Gabriel' in the Hebrew means 'man of God'?

OT:1403
Gabriy'el (gab-ree-ale'); from OT:1397 and OT:410; man of God; Gabriel, an archangel:

KJV - Garbriel.
(Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright (c) 1994, Biblesoft and International Bible Translators, Inc.)


Did you not know that when the sodomites saw the two angels sent to bring Lot and his out of Sodom and Gomorrah, those sodomites saw those two angels as 'men'?

Gen 19:1
19:1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

KJV

Gen 19:4-5
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

KJV

I can't make it any more plain than God's written Word. The image of man is what God's Own Image Likeness is (Genesis 1:26-27). It comes from Him in the Heavenly, not from flesh man's form. Thus the word 'man' applies to the outward likeness of the angels also! Don't be deceived.

No!!!! And no he will not need a man.....So you think when satan gets cast out of Heaven with his angels ,they gonna posses people?

satan has always wanted to be God ,do you actually think he will let a mere flesh man take his glory?

Revelation 13:13 "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men."

Now look at the below

Isaiah 14:16 "They that see thee shall shall narrowly look upon the, and consider thee, saying. "Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;"

These are all those people that considered themselves to be Christians and were part of the rapture doctrine that shall look upon Satan in the pit. They are going to see Satan there and think on what they have done, and how they have been deceived. Satan will play the role of man, the Son of God, and the entire earth will believe him and be deceived, all that is except God elect, and those sealed in their minds with the truth before Satan's coming. Today Satan is doing much of his work from the pulpits of churches that are deep in the traditions of men. Today the message going forth from most pulpits is based on man's traditions and not the Word of God.

Isaiah 14:17 "That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?"

This is what those Christians that were deceived by Satan will say when they see him in the pit. They will see that Satan is not God, but a created being just like them. Satan doesn't care about people, he only cares about himself, as he is taken up by his own pride.

Looks like you are the one trying to deceive people with your bizarre notions (not the first time either). I already showed you the Scripture which refutes this nonsense, but you keep plugging away as though Scripture means nothing.

Jesus Christ does not come back in the flesh. he comes in the Holy Spirit.
The Devil will be like Hitler and idolised by fools, just as he was.
Look at North Korea they all think that little maggot is a god and so did the morons who looked up to Stalin, not to mention China, they all have one thing in common they are all mass murders in fact and that you will know them by their works.
Just like Jesus said of them Jews who killed him, they were of their Father of lies and was a murderer from the beginning.
Like Cain a total ignorant fool who was a bastard to God.

If you lack the Holy Spirit you are of Satan, you must be born again to have the Holy Spirit.
People who do not have the Holy Spirit are as weak as like a spoilt snot nosed brat kid.
But the People who have the Holy Spirit are much more powerful than one who lacks such. one who has will endure to the end and one who does not is like a battery that can not be recharged.

And that coming from a person who can't stick to God's Word about Christ's 2nd coming being after... the great tribulation as written.

Matt 24:29-31
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:


30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.


31 And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

KJV

If you want others to take you seriously, you should stick closer to what God's written Word says instead of pre-trib rapture theories by men like John Nelson Darby. I'll bet you've got all of Tim LaHayes 'Left-Behind' books & movies too! Ya'l sure made him rich.

Well yes, it will make a difference how we currently live, and by that I mean by which Church you're in and whether or not they are teaching all of God's Word, or just a bunch of feel-good doctrines of men.

The time of "great tribulation" our Lord Jesus forewarned us about in Matthew 24 was so we could spiritually prepare to not be deceived by this coming pseudo-Christ (KJV "false Christs" is actually singular tense in the Matt.24:23-26 verses).

Apostle Paul gave us the same kind of warning in 2 Thessalonians 2 about that coming false one who is to work lying wonders and signs on the earth to deceive with. Our Lord Jesus showed us again through His servant John in the Revelation 13:11-17 verses about that false one working signs and wonders on earth, raining fire down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.

That brings up a point only some of you will understand about that Revelation 13:13 idea "in the sight of men"...

Rev 13:13
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

KJV

Isn't it easy enough to understand that about his making fire come down from heaven to the earth? Why did our Lord Jesus include that "in the sight of men" idea with that? Think about it.

It's to make sure we understand that working is not a normal working by any flesh-born man, and to know that this event is going to literally... happen on this earth in plain sight. It means a literal fire like in 1 Kings 18, not military helicopters. Those alive on earth for the tribulation are going to see it.

And consider this, as some might be silly and think, "Well Elijah called down fire from God in Heaven down to the earth per 1 Kings 18, so what's the big deal with this one doing it? It is a big deal, because this one doing it in Revelation 13:11-14 is not... one of God's servants. And Elijah didn't bring fire down to the earth, he prayed for God to do it. Are you still thinking for yourself on this?

Then if this isn't going to be God or one of His servants bringing that fire down from heaven to the earth, in the sight of men on earth, then who would have power to do that? Elijah returned? No, this one is an enemy of Christ. So who among Satan's host would have power to do this? A Pope? Has a Pope ever done that before? No. And there aren't anymore Elijah's in our world today. And even with God's two witnesses of Rev.11, they aren't Christ's enemies either, so can't assign this wonder to them.

It will be the coming Antichrist doing it. Afterall, he is coming to play Christ, and will use those great signs, wonders, and miracles to deceive the world with...

Rev 13:14
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
KJV

What you are basicly saying is distrust all signs and wonders, or stop attending charismatic churches.

If you don't recognise sound doctrine one is at the mercy of the devil. The problem there is peoples itchy ears want to hear the rubbish preach by progessive or liberal churches.

Deception is the difference for those to whom the end shall come

I Corinthians 10:11 "Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come."

"Ensamples" in the manuscripts is the Greek word "tupos", number 5179 in the Strong's Greek dictionary. "a sample, or type; i.e. a model for imitation, a fashion, for manner, or form." So Paul is telling us that those things that we read about in the Old Testament, of the events of the prophets of old are examples of what we should be looking for in our day. This is written to alert all people to be aware of how it shall be before Christ returns. What was written in the Exodus, or in Amos is written as examples for our admonition or warning. All of the Scriptures is given as a warning to those who are living in the times of the ends of this world age of the flesh. We will see the end of the flesh age come to a close, and there are many things that will come to pass right before our eyes that were written about in detail way back in the Old Testament time, and Paul is telling you and I to wake up to those warnings.

Each of the events that took place, the opening of the Red sea, the building of the false religious forms, and so on. God is telling us "look little children that is what is going to happen to you at the close of this earth age". We are living in that age, and these things are happening now. Can you learn by this? It is so simple. God did not leave us helpless nor hopeless in these end times, and that is why we must become skilled in all of His Word. It is all an example of what is going to befall us in our generation.

Again,if you don't know that satan comes before Christ,you will be deceived,that's the difference..

Ephesians 6:11 "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."

We are in the end times and in a fierce spiritual battle. Have you scouted the enemy to know who he is, and from what source his [her] forces come from? The enemy is Satan, his evil spirits, and his offspring on the earth called the "Kenites", and all those that follow their ways. God is going to give these evil forces authority to exercise their authority and bring about the fulfillment of His plan for these latter days. They are the negative part of God's plan.

Satan will be kicked out of heaven very shortly on to the earth, and then will be the time noted as the "great tribulation [deception]", and there will be two tribulations for after the first six seals, the second tribulation will come and in the second one God will bring down the cup of His wrath on the whole world. Then is when the "wiles of the devil" will take place for it is the lies, tricks, and deceitfulness he and his offspring [the Kenites] will use to bring down all Christians.

The "whole armor" is all the protection necessary to stand against those lies and deceptions. Your entire body has to be protected against Satan, or he will out wit you, and you will not stand. The point to putting on all the armor is that you have complete protection to stand against any trick that Satan will throw against you.

Ephesians 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."

This battle we are going to fight against is not "flesh and blood" and the people that we talk to on the streets today, but it will be Satan and the fallen angels, or angelic beings that appear to be men and women in the flesh, when in fact they are not. The battle of the time of the great deception will be against hidden and deceitful spiritual powers, and Satan is the prince of all of those dark spiritual forces. Satan is not out to take just your flesh body, but he is out to control the minds and actions of not only the rulers of this earth, but all evil spirits in the heavenlies.

There is only one way to prepare mentally to do battle with Satan and his realm, for this battle is not with military might, but with seducing words that deceive the mind of those not prepared. That battle is with words and doctrines, and the concepts of ideas. These are the "fiery darts" that Satan will use to bring you down.

Ephesians 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."

We will stand against Satan, and all his forces, and that evil day is just before the Lord's return. On the day of Satan's return we had better have our whole armor on and in place and be ready to do battle.

We has had guns and no problems with immigrants before has we ? but it's all the masses of free loaders and dregs that are coming in that I thought that they was talking about ? not to mention watching the Nation go down the drain due to such traitors that let it all happen, the very wealthy investing in China and disregarding their own Nations people treating them like 2ed rate citizens, not to mention all the Socialist who are and have been playing the blacks for fools, now Trump has them in jobs and a future to better themselves and the rest of the Nation has hope now.
Look at all the States that have the most gun control that's where the most are getting shot.

In Australia we have strict gun laws but we still have people getting shot all the time still. not to mention the head of police are the biggest morons that have been letting such people go about shooting as many people as they can, or running people down, the cops were not allowed to take such idiots out because of orders above them not to, no it is the government that has been trying to create such idiots to go out and kill people in mass, just so the government can create more stupid laws, as such is giving themselves more power over the people in fact, because such Satanist want to create a Nazi type of State that totally dominates and dictates over all the people like a mongrel dog, with all their Satanic Cultural Marxist political correct filth that in fact lowers all to the lowest denominator, becoming all equal nothings under it's so called human rights cunning agendas that only works, so as to enslaves all under the State.
The top ranks are all full of Sodomites and dictating to us, in what they are demanding of us, they are bagging our forefathers no end and are hell bent on undermining Christianity 24/7 and setting up mongrel Islamic dogs to have power over our Nations and boy have they got power now, you can't speak out against their history of how they are always been murdering people, not to mention their intentions to do so. we had a mob of such Islamic filth that gang raped a young girl and our Government handled the case with kid gloves, so as not to offend the filthy deranged mongrel bastards.

It used to be that the devils most sucessful servants weren't the violent criminals, but the respectable lawabiding, wealthy average man in the street. You know just like your neighbour who doesn't attend church.
That still is by mere numbers but by visibility it is pop and film stars because of the aparent availability of that life style.

But this isn't what threatens Christianity.
It is the preasure to acknowledge and to normalise lgbt.
see this for how they view the 'church'
LGBT activist calls for “hardball” “fight” to empty the church pews of Christians
In it is a reference to how activists respond to open debate by shutting it down with threats of violence.

It is one thing to stand up for what one thinks are basic civilisation rights and a totally different case of Christians being Christian.
Do you know the difference?

No, what I am saying is 'don't be deceived'.

How... do we do that? We stay... in God's Word as written, for all the fore-warnings of what we need to be watching for all the way up to Christ's return, He already showed us in His Word.

As for signs and wonders, it doesn't take a lot of common sense to understand when something is not of The Holy Spirit. There isn't any examples in God's Word of one wrigling in the floor making wild animal noises and that being of The Holy Spirit. Andrew Strorm in his Kundalini Warning video on YouTube isn't wrong to be concerned, and like he said, he has been a member of the charismatic movement for quite a while.

Yes, there some that are not really that serious about their salvation. Like Esau, he treated God's Birthright like it was wares, something to be traded or sold. Esau profaned it. Likewise many in this world have a profane mentality and cannot live any other way but in their fleshy mind.

Here's a Message from Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 11 about the coming Antichrist. I refer to this one a lot on various levels, so if you read my posts you'll probably see me quote this a lot about events for the end of this world.

2 Cor 11:2-4
2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Right off the bat Paul is comparing his warning for the Church to not be deceived to the deception Satan as "that old serpent" in God's Garden pulled off with Eve.



4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

KJV

Paul's fear was that they might instead believe a false apostle preaching "another Jesus", and that they might believe it. This is the very same type of warning our Lord Jesus gave in His Olivet discourse against believing on a pseudo-Christ that is to appear in Jerusalem for the end (Matthew 24:23-26, the passage is about a singular false one claimed to be Christ. Our Lord Jesus said don't believe on that false one).

This is kind of a huge... revelation here by Paul. He's showing there are false apostles that preach to believe on "another Jesus" via "another spirit" and "another gospel". That reveals how the true Gospel of Jesus Christ was being twisted even in Paul's day.

Then in 2 Corinthians 11:5-12 Paul starts talking about his commission in comparison to other brethren, and then Paul makes another huge... revelation about some of them:

2 Cor 11:13-15
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

False apostles? deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ? Yes, and the Greek for "transforming" is actually a word that means 'to transfigure or disguise' (Strong's no. 3345). Paul is talking about certain brethren in the Church 'disguised' as apostles of Christ; that's a huge... revelation about there being false teachers among Christ's body in his day. He did warn this would happen especially after his leaving (Acts 20:29-31). And in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-2, he warned against listening to those false ones who were passing letters as if from Christ's Apostles, their having confounded among the Thessalonian Church the order of events for Christ's return and gathering of the Church.


14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

And no great surprise, because even Satan disguises himself as "an angel of light". That word "transformed" again is actually 'disguise' in the Greek (Strong's no. 3345). If you don't yet realize it, Paul here just revealed Satan disguises himself as an angel of light, meaning a heavenly servant of God. Does that mean he looks like he has horns, a goatee, a pitchfork, and red flannel underwear? No. It means disguised as The Christ, or didn't you catch Paul made the earlier comparison to "another Jesus" in this chapter??


15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
KJV


Also no great surprise that Satan's ministers also are disguised as God's ministers of righteousness. Paul is pointing to those brethren preaching the "another Jesus" and the "another gospel" he warned at the beginning of the chapter.

In Summary:
There are those crept in unawares of Jude 1 that are preaching that "another Jesus" and are preparing the deceived to accept Satan who will come disguised as an angel of light, and those deceivers disguise themselves as the ministers of righteousness. In essence, Paul is repeating the warnings our Lord Jesus gave about the coming "man of sin" to Jerusalem for the end of this world to sit in a temple claiming to be Messiah, working great signs and wonders to deceive with (Matthew 24:23-26; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4; Revelation 13:11-14).

2. Satan is coming, again to setup himself up in place of GOD, like he did in the time of old, with another beast kingdom on earth.

In Rev.13 we are told of a beast that comes out of the sea having ten horns, seven heads, and ten crowns. In Revelation 13:2 our Lord reveals links to the beast kingdom types of Daniel 7. We can't forget the link with the seven crown beast kingdom of Rev.12 that Satan used of old though.

Men's traditions are ever playing with the beast idea in Rev.13, assigning all kinds of ideas to it when often it's Satan playing with their minds to confuse the Scripture to them. Two different beasts are mentioned there, the first one is a kingdom, because it has ten horns, seven heads, and ten crowns. The second beast mentioned starting in Revelation 13:11 is about "another beast", a 2nd one, but a person instead. Who is it? The Pope? An Arab king? The U.S. President? A ruler from the EU? All of those ideas have been offered. But the reality of his identity is simple when heeding the actual Scripture.

Rev 13:11-14
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

This 2nd beast comes up out of the earth. If you've already done study in all of the Book of Revelation, you should recall Rev.11:7 says a beast ascends out of the bottomless pit to kill God's two witnesses in Jerusalem for the end. That was 2 Chapters back, so we should recall that. Then back in Chapter 9 we were told there is a king which is an angel over the bottomless pit and his name in the Greek is Apollyon (perdition) and in Hebrew is Abaddon (destroyer). And when you get to Rev.17, we are told about the beast that was, and is not, and yet is, ascending out of the bottomless pit, involving the idea of a beast king.

So how many clues does one need to realize all that is pointing directly to Satan himself. Why does he here have two horns 'like' a lamb but speak as a dragon? Back in Revelation 12:9 we were shown some of Satan's titles. One of his titles is the "dragon".

Our Lord Jesus is The Lamb slain; He came to die on the cross for us, meek as a lamb. Yet Satan here is shown playing the role of a meek lamb. What's that about? Do you recall how Satan coveted God's throne originally? Satan wants to be The Christ, and usurp His throne.

This is not showing us some flesh born man is going to try and do this. It is showing us that Satan himself, de facto, IN PERSON, is going to try to do this, again, i.e., usurp God's throne and try to rule over God's people.



12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

The 1st beast of course is a kingdom beast. One of its seven heads is to suffer a deadly wound. But that wound is shown having been healed here when this "another beast" shows up.



13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
KJV


We were warned about a false one before by our Lord Jesus that that false one would come doing those great signs and wonders on earth, as He warned us to not believe on that false one when the deceived proclaim him as Christ (Matthew 24:23-26; KJV "false Christs" = a pseudo Messiah). Apostle Paul also warned of that false one coming prior to our Lord Jesus' coming to gather His Church, and how that false one would set himself up as God in a stone temple in Jerusalem, doing those signs and wonders on earth to deceive.

This isn't about some flesh man doing those miracles on earth by being possessed by Satan. It will be Satan himself doing those things here on earth in the sight of men.

Rev 12:7-12
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.


That phrase in red is especially important. This war in heaven happens at the end of this world we will find out later here. When it happens, notice there is no more place found for Satan in heaven. Right now, he is allowed to move freely between heaven and earth (1 Peter 5:8). There are only 2 different dimensions of existence written of in God's Word, this earthly where we live, and the heavenly where God and the angels live, behind a veil we cannot see. The heavenly is also where Satan dwells in a place of separation called Hades. At this war, Satan is kicked out of the heavenly. That leaves only one other place he can go. Where do you think that is? HERE, on earth in OUR dimension.


This means Satan is coming HERE, on earth, in person. Recall that angels can... appear, work and live on earth (Gen.19). They don't need a flesh body. We learn this especially with the mating of the fallen angels with flesh woman in Genesis 6 that produced the giant hybrids which God did not create.


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.

Not only is Satan in person coming, but his angels are coming 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.'


Did you know Satan stands as our accuser against us before God's throne in heaven? In this world he is allowed to approach God's throne as he did in the Book of Job. But at this point, when he is cast out of heaven to our earth, he will no longer be allowed in heaven to accuse us. In heaven at that point when this war happens and Satan and his angels are cast out, Christ's Salvation will come there in the heavenly. This reveals this casting out is not of old, but for the future in our time.



11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

That is about those saints on the 5th Seal that ask how long, and are told their brethren must be beheaded as they were, overcoming in Christ. That again reveals what timing this casting out is, i.e, for the end of this world. These on the 5th Seal timing is about the time of great tribulation. This reveals Satan's casting out here is tribulation timing.



12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
KJV


That "short time" is the shortened time of great tribulation Jesus proclaimed in Matthew 24.

Rev 13:4-9
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
KJV


Do you have ears to hear, meaning spiritual ears? Can you understand this is about Satan in person coming to this earth in OUR dimension, and that we will see him in the form of a man? Our Heavenly Father said that he made him "perfect in beauty" (Ezekiel 28:12-14). So he's not going to have a goatee, horns, a pitchfork and red flannel underwear. He is a beautiful looking cherub.

There was a book out that I never got to read but wanted to: "The beautiful side of evil." I think Satan does his most fruitful work when he appears as an angel of light.
