Satan, called the Devil ... and his army

[lilmissmontana]

concerning Satan and his angels

a thread of God tools for use in understanding the end times ...

if one is to stand against the enemy, one must know the enemy ...

this is a thread intended to completely and thoroughly list the scriptures that reveal the facts of Satan and his army ... facts to have the knowledge to debate and discuss the theology of the end times ... if we're to understand how the last days go down, we must first understand the enemy ... the what they ares, the what they can dos, and such ... there is a multitude of scriptures that do this for us ... this is a long list ...

I'll work on it post by post until I make it through ... hopefully many will find it useful in gaining understanding ... Biblical input is most welcome ... links should be supported thoroughly by scripture ...

may the Lord bless, lead, guide, and direct ... may we behave as Christians ... doers of the Word ... in the Father's will and Jesus name ... please speak, Holy Spirit ... help us prepare for what comes ... Amen.

There was a war in heaven. Satan was the rebellious leader. One third of the angels chose to follow him.

2 Peter 2:4
false prophets and teachers

For if God spared not the angels that
sinned, but cast them down to hell, and
delivered them into chains of darkness,
to be reserved unto judgement;

1 John 3:8
the children of God and righteousness

He that commiteth sin is of the devil;
for the devil sinneth from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God was man-
ifested, that he might destroy the works
of the devil.

Jude 6,7
judgement on false teachers

And the angels which kept not their
first estate, but left their own habitation,
he hath reserved in everlasting chains un-
der darkness unto the judgement of the
great day.
Even as Sodom and Gommorah, and
the cities about them in manner,
giving themselves over to fornification, and
going after strange flesh, are set forth
for an example, suffering the vengeance
of eternal fire.

Revelation 12:7-9
Michael

And their was a war in heaven: Michael
and his angels fought against the dragon;
and the dragon fought and his angels,
And prevailed not; neither was their
place found any more in heaven.
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 earth, and his
angels were cast with him.

Satan and the angels were cast to earth down from heaven

Isaiah 14:15
the proverb against the king of Babylon

Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell,
to the sides of the pit.

Ezekiel 28:16
the prince of Tyrus rebuked

By the multitude of ty merchandise they
have filled the midst of thee with violence,
and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast
thee as profane out of the mountains of
God: and I will destroy thee, O covering
cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

Luke 10:18
the return of the seventy

And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as
lightening fall from heaven.

Revelation 12:7-12
Michael

And their was a war in heaven: Michael
and his angels fought against the dragon;
and the dragon fought and his angels,
And prevailed not; neither was their
place found any more in heaven.
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 earth, and his
angels were cast with him.

the spiritual warfare still continues between light and dark

Ephesians 6:10-20
the whole armor of God

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord,
and in the power of his might.

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye
may be able to stand against the wiles of
the devil.
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.
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.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about
with truth, and having on the breastplate
of righteousness;
And your feet shod with the preparation of
the gospel of peace;
Above all, taking the shield of faith, where-
with ye shall be able to quench all the fiery
darts of the wicked.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Praying always with all prayer and supplication
in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all
perseverance and supplication for all saints;
And for me, that utterance may be given unto
me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make
known the mystery of the gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that
therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Daniel 10:13,21
Daniel's vision by the great river

But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood
me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of
my chief princes, came to help me: and I remained
there with the king of persia.

But I will show thee that which is noted in the scrip-
ture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with
me in these things, but Michael your prince.

Thanks Lilmissmontana. Ephesians derserves emphasis ...

and thank you, NightHawkeye ... it's good to be appreciated ... Ephesians is a huge part of the 'worship Him in the Spirit', wouldn't you say? ...

God is a Spirit: and they that worship
him must worship him in spirit and in Truth.

Isaiah 14:12
the proverb against the king of Babylon

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer,
son of the morning! how art thou cut down
to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

Ezekiel 28:16,17
the prince of Tyres rebuked

By the multitude of thy merchandise they
have filled the midst of thee with violence,
and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast
thee as profane out of the mountain of God:
and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub,
from the midst of the stones of ire.
Thine heart was lifted up because of thy
beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by
reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to
the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that
they may behold thee.
Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the
multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of
thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire
from the midst of thee, and I will bring thee to
ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them
that behold thee.

Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel: there is

With thy wisdom and with thine understanding

gold and silver into thy treasure:
By thy great wisdom and by thy traffic hast
thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is
lifted up because of thy riches:

Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the
king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith
the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full
of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

brand pluked out of the fire?
