Since the one standing next to Christ (as we all know Him now) at the throne in Heaven, became envious and jealous of Him, the war has been on. It may well have been the pure mercy and love of Him that Lucifer thought was His weak point, that he could capitalise on to get to the Top position. When he was cast out of Heaven, the war has not ever stopped - Eve, Adam then everyone has been a target, and the obvious evil has been possible to detect. But, as you all know from the Scriptures, going “here a little, there a little”, we can easily see that we are about to go into the most dangerous phase of the war; he is about to go into a definite new phase (according to the prophecies for this time in history) -
2 Corinthians 11:14
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
It is not difficult to piece together all of the texts and see that eventually, as his crowning act, he is going to personate Christ himself, but before that we are going to see him work in totally amazing ways to deceive; “insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
It is going to be incredible, God is going to expose all of this evil and the truth is going to all come out, but the Bible has shown us the next moves of the deceiver also, it will take most of the world, that just believe what they see and hear, like they have been doing all of their lives, but especially for the past 27 months, into his net. He is not going to just give in, he will not try to openly counteract all of the exposure of evil, he will quickly adapt and take on a new guise, a beautiful new image.
We are all so blest to be here together and watching it all unfold from God’s side and thanks to Scripture (which explains every move), from the arch enemy’s side also. We are in for an interesting time from here - fortunately we have been warned about it all.
