My Note: Satan's power Ref. Scripture 2 Corinthians 11:14, Revelation 13:13-14, 2 Thes. 2:1-4, 2 Thes. 2:9 and Daniel 11: 36-37
Satan can transform himself into an angel of light.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
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,
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.
15 And he had power to
give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should
both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the
beast should be killed.
2 Thessalonians 2:1 ¶Now
we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by
our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon
shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by
letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 ¶Let no man deceive
you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling
away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; i.e.
Satan
4 Who
opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is
worshipped; so that he as God sitteth
in the temple of God, shewing himself
that he is God.
2 Thes. 2:4 is the real problem that many who call themselves Christians will face and many will believe he really is God!
2 Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
Daniel 11:36 And the king
shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify
himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the
God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for
that that is determined shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard
the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for
he shall magnify himself above all.
Complete text: 2 Corinthians 11:14
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
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
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,
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.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast,
that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as
would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free
and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark,
or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the
number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six
hundred threescore and six.
2 Thessalonians 2:1 ¶Now we beseech you, brethren, by the
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither
by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ
is at hand
2 Thessalonians 2:3 ¶Let no man deceive you by any means:
for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and
that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called
God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of
God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you
these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed
in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who
now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall
consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness
of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all
power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that
perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might
be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that
they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth,
but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Daniel 11:21 ¶And in his estate shall stand up a vile person,
to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come
in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from
before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully:
for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the
province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his
fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and
riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds,
even for a time.
25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the
king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be
stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not
stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.
26 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy
him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
27 And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and
they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the
end shall be at the time appointed.
28 Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and
his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits,
and return to his own land.
29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the
south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter
30 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore
he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy
covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with
them that forsake the holy covenant.
31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the
sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they
shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt
by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and
do exploits.
33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many:
yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil,
many days.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little
help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them,
and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because
it is yet for a time appointed.
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall
exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous
things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation
be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire
of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
Daniel 11:37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers,
nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself
above all.
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a
god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and
with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god,
whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them
to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push
at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind,
with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter
into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries
shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom,
and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and
the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of
silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and
the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble
him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly
to make away many.
45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the
seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none
shall help him.
We repeat - Many who call themselves Christians will believe Satan is really Jesus returned and worship him!
Yes,
those professing Christians who Christ finds worshipping Satan, as if he
were God, just prior to Christ's return are who he is asking "Will
you endure unto the end?"!
Will
you spiritually be giving suck to Satan's child when Christ returns!
Will
you endure to the end? Matthew
24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
