Hi Douggg,

Actually it is very clear that Lucifer was given authority by God. He was given a throne and was a king and a priest.

`Lucifer said - "I will exalt my throne above the stars of God...` (Isa. 14: 13)
`You were the anointed cherub that covers.....Every precious stone was your covering...` (Ez. 28: 14 & 13)

No other angel was anointed king by God.

Marilyn.
Satan was created perfect and created with power. In other words, he was not created with the intent that he become evil. Then at some point, iniquity was found in him.

He wasn't given that power after iniquity was found in him. Satan was created with free will - however, it should be noted, no created being has unlimited free will. Satan does have power, that he was created with in his perfect state. even so it is not unlimited power.

Which he chose to rebel against God. Satan abuses his power, he was created as having. Satan wasn't given a throne, as being God's will. He was permitted to rebel, not directed to rebel, and since he convinced a third of the angels to go along with him, he as the leader was thus considered to have a throne and be a king. Bit it is not something God bestowed upon him. God did not anoint Satan as King of anything.

That Satan was the anointed cherub that covereth, is just a referral to him be created in the highest ranking order of angels. And was at the throne of God. Without us being able to witness ourselves back then what covereth means - we can only guess. Perhaps Satan was like a mantel over the throne of God. We just don't know for sure.

Satan still is not as powerful as Michael the angel, because Satan loses that war in Revelation 12.

Abaddon is a king, the leader over the locust is all it is saying, who is an angel - and is called the angel of the bottomless pit. Satan nowhere is called the angel of the bottomless pit - but the prince the power of the air. It is two different individuals. We aren't given any history on Abaddon in Revelation.

Revelation 17:8 tell us his role during the Tribulation....

Revelation 17:8
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and to go into perdition. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, [they] whose name hath not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, that was, and is not, and shall come.

Satan have an inherent deceiving power ....and he will use it again to deceive the Nations [Revelation 12 -- Revelation 13]...and ...again [Revelation 20:7-10] until God finally destroy Satan.

Hi Riberra,

`You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you.` (Ez. 28: 15)
God didn`t place deceiving power within Lucifer, for -

`...by the abundance of your trading you became filled with violence within and you sinned.` (Ez. 28: 16)

Lucifer/Satan has authority, power and a throne, of which he gives to the leader of the beastly world government.

`And the dragon, (one of Satan`s descriptive names) gave him his power, his throne and great authority.` (Rev. 13: 2)

The angels do not have 2 kings over them, only Satan.

No because I know the spin. It's impressive Marilyn that you would believe these things. I'm going to let this one ride a while and destroy it later.

Hi Hal,

Easy to say `no,` but to give scriptural reasons requires effort.

Hi Douggg,

It seems clear to me from God`s word that God did give Lucifer a throne.

`How you have fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! ......you said in your heart; "I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars...` (Isa. 14: 12 & 13)

`And the dragon, (one of Satan`s descriptive names) gave him his power, HIS THRONE, and great authority.` (Rev. 13: 2)

There are not 2 kings over the fallen angels, only one, Satan.

Hi Riberra,

Satan is the only king of the fallen angels. He was given the key to the `bottomless pit` ie the authority to let more demons, (fallen angels) come on to the earth. The `bottomless pit` is a picture of these fallen angels being held captive till God says they can be released. Satan, `who was, is not and shall ascend,` is a counterfeit of Christ, `who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore.` (Rev. 1: 19)

He has a throne by virtue of leading others in rebellion against God. It isn't that God wanted him to rebel and seek to usurp God. God didn't put him on a throne. Or provide him with a throne of rebellion.

There are fallen angels [200 millions]who are actually locked into the bottomless pit because of the events of Genesis 6:2-4... their chief angel is Abaddon Revelation 9:11.

There are four fallen angels who are actually bound under the River Euphrates who have done the same thing AFTER the flood [in a more limited area ie in the Land of Canaan]....their offspring were called the Nephilim..

These fallen angels were all under the order of Satan to commit what they have done...and there was a precise objective [goal] planned by Satan ...

All those nasty fallen angels will be released ....as described in Revelation 9.
Sometimes later, Satan will be cast out of Heaven with his fallen angels as described in Revelation 12:7-10

The SEVEN Heads of the Government Beast Revelation 13 will be Satan +Abaddon +the Four angels who are actually bound under the River Euphrates +the False Prophet....

Hi Riberra,

mmmm. What about this scripture -

`Here is the mind which has wisdom: The 7 heads are 7 mountains on which the woman sits. They are 7 kings. 5 have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also the 8th, and is of the 7, and is going to perdition.` (Rev. 17: 9 - 11)

So how does your group line up to that? - Satan +Abaddon +the Four angels????

Revelation 13:1
1 and he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns, AND SEVEN HEADS, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy.

3 And [I saw] ONE of his heads as though it had been smitten unto death; and his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast;

This is describing Abaddon the head -as though it had been smitten unto death-;and his death-stroke was healed [angel are immortal]...that the whole earth shall wonder Revelation 13:3 Revelation 17:8

Revelation 17:11 AND the BEAST that was, and is not, is himself also the 8th, and is of the 7, and is going to perdition.
This is describing Abaddon [one of the SEVEN heads] the Beast coming out of the bottomless pit who shall go into perdition that the world shall wonder mentioned in Revelation 17:8 and Revelation 13:3
Revelation 17:8
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the bottomless pit and to go into perdition. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder,

Revelation 13:3
And [I saw] one of his heads as though it had been smitten unto death; and his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast; /b][

Hi Riberra,

You have only mentioned Abaddon, what about the other 7. (There were 7 kings and an 8th which is of the 7).

Abaddon will become the 8 TH ...

As for why there will be 7 KINGS at one point [from the originally 10 kings ] ...that will be because 3 kings will be plucked out by the little horn ,as mentioned somewhere in Daniel's prophecy....[Abaddon is the little horn]

Revelation 17:12
12 And the ten horns that thou sawest are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.

Hi Riberra,

Yes I know where you mean, (Dan. 7: 8), however the 10 kings are leaders of the terrifying Federation, (Dan. 7: 7) and are the 10 horns in Rev. 17: 16 and are not the 7 consecutive leaders of the final global government.

Like to try again.

The 7 HEADS [ Revelation 13:1] of the composite Beast Government are the leaders ....Satan+Abaddon+the four angels who are actually bond under the Euphrates +the false prophet = the 7 HEADS Leaders ...
At some point all power will be given to Abaddon for 42 months [Revelation 13:5...]
........
The 10 horns /kings are only governors of their 10 respective regions who wiil have been assigned to them... like a governor of a state for example.

Hi Riberra,

We`re having a nice little chat here. And thank you for showing me what you think.

In scripture, `heads` denote leadership, while horns with crown are Political powers. The heads are ruling consecutively, ie one at a time till the last one, `5 have fallen & one is and one to come...` Thus those you mentioned cannot be heads as they are all at the same time.

The 10 Political powers however are ruling at the same time. (Rev. 17: 16) As you said, different regions.

Then tell us who are the 7 heads/leaders unto which 5 have already fallen ...and who is the one who is still there ,and the one who was and is not and shall be again and shall go into perdition. ?

Let me help you:
Hint:
-We know that SATAN have fallen.. We know that Satan will be locked into the bottomless pit unto the coming of Jesus...and is destined to the lake of fire sometime AFTER the millennium.

-We known that the FOUR angels under the Euphrates have fallen.
-We know that the false prophet is destined to the lake of fire unto the Coming of Jesus
-We know that Abaddon have fallen and shall go into perdition into the lake of fire unto the coming of Jesus.

We know that Satan will be locked into the bottomless pit unto the coming of Jesus...

Hi Riberra,

64 $ question. The leaders of the final Gentile Global Government. The timing of the `5 have fallen, one is & one to come,` is just before the 10 kings take power with the final Global leader. (Rev. 17: 10 - 12) We read that the 10 Political leaders have received no kingdom as yet...So that is just before the middle of the trib. as they receive authority with the final Global leader for 42 months. (Rev. 13; 5)

So , 1.......2......3.......4.......(prior to trib) 5th leader in the trib, 6th in the trib and 7th the last leader possessed by Satan in the middle of the trib.

They will be named KINGS for ONE HOUR ...meaning that they will have been fooled by the Beast...once they will give full power and their Kingdoms to the Beast..
