From
Pentecost
Satan used
contaminate the prospective members of the Lamb’s
wife.
By
the end of the first century, he had sown seeds of
Babylonish religion
in the congregation.
(1 Corinthians
15:12; 2 Timothy 2:18; Revelation 2:6, 14, 20)
The
apostle Paul describes those who were subverting the
faith in these words: “For such men are false apostles,
deceitful workers, transforming themselves into
apostles
of Christ. And no wonder, for
Satan himself keeps
transforming himself into an angel of light.”
(2 Corinthians
11:13, 14) In succeeding centuries, apostate
Christendom,
like the rest of
herself in the clothing of wealth and privilege,
“purple and scarlet,
. .gold
and precious stone and pearls.” (Revelation 17:4)
Her
clergy and popes consorted with bloodthirsty
emperors, such as Constantine
and Charlemagne.
Christendom
was never arrayed in “the righteous acts of the
holy ones.” But a counterfeit ,
Christendom is truly a
masterpiece of satanic deception. But Christendom
(THE Chtristain part of
—Hallelujah
Read Chapter 4 of Revelation.
(1)The seven-headed, ten-horned wild beast out of
the
sea, representing Satan’s
political organization, is tumbled
into oblivion, and along
with it goes the false prophet, the seventh
world power. (Revelation
13:1, 11-13;
or still functioning in
their united opposition to God’s people on
earth, they are cast into
“the lake of fire.” Is this a literal lake
of fire? No, not any more
than the wild beast and the false
prophet are literal animals.
Rather, it is a
symbol of complete,
final destruction, a place of
no return. Here is where, later,
death and Hades, as well as
the Devil himself, will be hurled.
(Revelation 20:10, 14) It is certainly not
an inferno of eternal
torture for the wicked, since
the very idea of such a place is
detestable to
Jehovah.—Jeremiah 19:5;
32:35; 1 John 4:8, 16.
(2) All others who were not directly part of
government but
who were nevertheless
an irreformable part
of this corrupt
world of mankind are likewise
“killed off with the long sword
of the one seated on the horse.” Jesus will pronounce them
deserving of death. Since in
their case the lake of fire is not
mentioned, are we to expect that they will have a
resurrection?
Nowhere are we told that those executed by
Jehovah’s
Judge at that time are to be resurrected. As
Jesus himself
stated, all those who are not
“sheep” go off “into the
everlasting fire prepared for the
Devil and his angels
,” that is, “into everlasting cutting-off.”
(Matthew
25:33, 41, 46) This climaxes “the day of
judgment and of destruction of
the ungodly men.”
—2 Peter 3:7; Nahum 1:2, 7-9; Malachi 4:1.
(3) In this way, all of Satan’s earthly
organization comes
to an end. The “former
heaven” of political rulership has
passed away. The “earth,” the
seemingly permanent system
that Satan has built up over the centuries, is now utterly
destroyed. The “sea,” the mass of
wicked humanity
opposed to Jehovah, is no more.
(Revelation 21:1; 2 Peter 3:10)
What, though, does Jehovah have in store for
Satan himself? John goes on to tell us.
Questions
(1). (a) What judgment is executed on
the wild beast and the
false prophet, and in what
sense are they “still alive”?
(b) Why must “the
lake of fire” be figurative?
(2) (a) Who are those “killed off
with the long sword of the
one seated on the horse”? (b) Are
we to expect that any of
those “killed off” will have
a resurrection?
(3) State in brief the
outcome of Armageddon.
Crushing the Serpent’s Head
Vision
14—Revelation 20:1-10
Subject: The abyssing of Satan, the
Millennial Reign, mankind’s final test,
and Satan’s destruction
tribulation to the destruction of Satan
It was uttered by Jehovah God when he said to the Serpent: “I
shall put
enmity between you and the woman and between
your seed and her seed.
He will bruise you in the head and you will bruise him in the
heel.”
(Genesis 3:15) Now the fulfillment of that prophecy comes to its
climax!
We have traced the history
of Satan’s warring against Jehovah’s
heavenly womanlike organization. (Revelation
12:1, 9) The Serpent’s
earthly seed, with its religion, politics, and
big business, has heaped
cruel persecution on the woman’s seed, Jesus
Christ and his 144,000
anointed followers, here on earth. (John 8:37,
44; Galatians 3:16, 29)
Satan inflicted an agonizing death on Jesus. But this proved to be
like
a heel wound, for God resurrected his faithful Son on the
third day.
—Acts
2 What
about the Serpent and his seed? About
wrote a long letter to the Christians in
encouraged them by saying: “For his part, the God
who gives peace
will crush Satan under your feet shortly.” (Romans 16:20) This
is more
than
a superficial bruising. Satan is to be crushed! Paul here used a
Greek word, syn·tri′bo, that
means to bruise into a jellylike state, to
trample down, to destroy utterly by crushing. As
for the human seed
of the Serpent, this is due for a real plaguing in the Lord’s day,
climaxing at the great tribulation in the complete
crushing of
Great and the political systems of the world, together with their
financial
and military henchmen. (Revelation, chapters 18
and 19) Thus Jehovah
brings
to a climax the enmity between the two seeds. The Seed of
God’s woman triumphs over the earthly seed of the Serpent, and
that
seed is no more!
