Marilyn, I can agree to the likehood that Satan at one point will enter the person. But it can't be for an extended period of time. Only to commit the transgression of desolation act in 2thessalonians2:4.Hi Douggg,
The descriptions in Isa. 14 go far transcend any earthly king and (as I said before) by the law of double reference reveal the original power and beauty of the greatest angel ever created by God. The same can be said of the person in Ezekiel 28.
So we both agree that Satan will enter the lawless one and he will thus be possessed by Satan.
Marilyn.
Once the person has been cast out of the grave, out of the place of the dead, Satan with him...the person becomes the beast... and is possessed by the unclean spirit of the ancient person currently in the bottomless pit.
Satan, though, is no longer possessing him that last 42 months. Satan goes elsewhere after being temporarily in hell with the slain man of sin. Just like Satan did not remain with Judas.
Satan returns to roaming the second heaven and earth, and its first heaven.
In Revelation 12, Satan is cast down to earth, in the war in heaven, following the sounding of the 7th trump, marking the regime change process of the kingdoms of this world currently under Satan's power to becoming the Kingdoms of God and his Christ.
The 7th trumpet sounds after the two witnesses ascend on day 1263.5 of the 7 year timeline, having fought against the beast for around 75 days as the Jews flee Jerusalem. The beast then has 42 months (1256.5 days) which he rules the world unhampered by the two witnesses.
Satan is cast down, after losing the war in the second heaven, his principality in high places, with a time, times, half times left...... somewhat less than 42 months, which itself is somewhat less than the 1260 days, the exact half of the seven years.
What Satan does to be worshiped will incarnate the image, a statue, made of the beast, making it appear to come alive, and speak. But initially at day 1185 (2520-1335), the image does not speak and is just a statue. It is not till Satan is cast down, shortly after day 1260, that he possesses the image.
On a timeline, it would look like this, some days we have to put a ? because there is not enough information to determine the day.
day 1 - confirmation of the covenant, beginning the 7 years, (2520 days)
day ? - the Antichrist goes rogue, commits the transgression of desolation.
day ? - is killed.
day ? - comes back to life, becoming the beast.
day 1875 - the image of him placed in the temple, the Abomination of desolation. (2520-1335)
the Jews flee to the mountains. As the two witnesses battle the beast.
day 1260 - the two witnesses killed after battling the beast
day 1263.5 - the two witnesses ascend. the beast free to rule the 42 months left
day 1263.5 - the seventh trumpet sounds and the war in heaven takes place.
day ? - Satan cast down, having a time, times, half times left.
Satan incarnates the image of the beast, demands worship, or else.
day 2475 - the sign of the Son of man in heaven (day 1875+1290 days)
day ? - the beast, the false prophet, Satan, convince the kings of the earth to gather their armies to stop Jesus
day 2520 - Jesus descends to earth, executing judgment on those armies.
The beast and false prophet cast into the lake of fire
Satan cast into the bottomless pit for a thousand years.
