In this 28th chapter of Ezekiel we are given a description of Satan. Verses 18 and 19 speak specifically about his destruction!
Ezekiel 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
"Perish"
doesn't mean to be fried for ever and ever as many traditional,
non-Bible
teaching denominations teach
as
they blindly follow after the traditions of men.
It means he will be "devoured", i.e. consumed, and he shall never be any more!
[19] All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
Those
four seals are the knowledge of the Four Hidden Dynasties
of
Religion, Politics, Economics, and Education/Indoctrination.
Those
Four Hidden Dynasties are the "powers" Satan misused
in
the first earth age to bring about his rise to the position of "king",
which
ultimately caused the destruction of that "world that then was".
If
you have understood the corrupt workings of the "ship" of Tyrus
and
the method of operation of the king of Tyrus,
then
you should be able to SEE that same "ship"
sailing
swiftly upon the seas [people] this very day.
And
the king of Tyrus?
He's
coming soon in person to take over the helm of that ship,
the
New World Order,
and
it will be a time of peace and prosperity for all.
You
see,
most
of Christianity is expecting an anti-christ to show up who is a really
evil,
murderous
individual who will cause much bloodshed and horrendous, frightful tribulation.
That
is why the Rapture theory, the quick trip out of here, is so popular.
It
promises to spare their little old flesh bodies from being wounded.
But
the fact is that the tribulation of antichrist is "spiritual" warfare
and
not a war against flesh and blood.
That
is why we are instructed to put on the Gospel Armor (Eph. 6)
and
be prepared to stand against the fiery darts of Satan.
So
not only is the Rapture theory not Biblical,
it
is based on a false concept
of
what the tribulation of antichrist is all about in the first place.
All
we need do is continue to remind ourselves that Jesus Christ has foretold
us all things.
Mark
13:23,
"But
take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things."
Then
too,
He
has not only told us but He has provided us with "types" in HiStory
of
how it is and how it shall be.
This was best said by the wisest man (besides our Lord) who ever walked under the sun:
Eccles. 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
