How does the Beast Convince the World he is God /Jesus

Hello Ewq

Th False Gods are the Fallen Angels scripture tells us so. Here is but one example.

16:They stirred him to jealousy with strange gods; with abominations they provoked him to anger. They sacrificed to demons that were no gods, to gods they had never known.

We Know Azazel is the leader of the Fallen Angels cast into the pit.

[6] And the angels that did not keep their own place but left their proper dwelling have been kept by him in eternal chains in the nether gloom until the judgment of the great day;

The Hebrews even took a goat out to the exact place where in Enoch Azazel and the other Angels were cast. The put all the sins of the people on the goat.

6Again the Lord said to Raphael, Bind Azazyel hand and foot; cast him into darkness; and opening the desert which is in Dudael, cast him in there.

Dudael is east of Jerusalem

[10] but the goat on which the lot fell for Aza'zel shall be presented alive before the LORD to make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wilderness to Aza'zel.

The whole term scapegoat comes from Azazel being cast in the Pit. Enoch says.

12 All the earth has been corrupted by the effects of the teaching of Azazyel. To him therefore ascribe the whole crime.

And God says all men will be Destroyed by the Watchers. IE The Destroyer

11All the sons of men shall not perish in consequence of every secret, by which the Watchers have destroyed, and which they have taught, their offspring.

That isn't scripture and it doesn't matter if some false gods are fallen angels. Many are simply inventions of man.

It absolutely is scripture and I gave you just one example. Here is another

[20] No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons.

They are not inventions of Man.................. they are.

[12] For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

You are just wrong about this. Please do not take that statement wrong or as an attack.......... it is not meant in that way. I believe this lack of understanding which is wide spread in modern Christianity has created a real lack of understanding of what we are all dealing with. This is not a figment of man's imagination. These are real Spiritual Beings who have been plotting against man for thousands of years. They have knowledge and understanding on a level that far surpasses mankind's knowledge. Do not be deceived they are real.......... they are dangerous............. and have posed as Gods in the past................... they know well how to deceive Mankind in this en devour.

Hello EWQ

Jesus the Apostles and the Saints disagree they either directly quote Enoch or directly reference Enoch over 30 time in the NT.

I presented Scripture with Enoch you are just ignoring it., Your choice.... Peace to you my brother in Christ

Hello ewq

What you are using Strongs...Strongs is not a definitive dictionary of what the Scripture says. It is a concordance of how different translator's translated different words.

Lucifer is a Dragon in Revelation Clearly stated as such. Lucifer is repeatedly Called a Dragon in Revelation. In the rest of scripture he is called by other names. never once is he called Apollyon in the Septuagint or Ababdon in the Hebrew.

In fact Apollyon is not even the same Greek word as the Hebrew Abaddon which means destruction or ruin which is apoleia in Greek. Here is the name of Apollo in Greek Apollon................. which is the Greek god of many things including Ironically...........the amazing ability to heal deadly wounds . In some early manuscripts of Revelation it simply says Apollon. Apollon is the Greek Equivalent of Baal in many aspects. He is the Sun God also known as Mythras who is Baal.

It is the same as Ashteroth in Jeremiah and other places. It is a deliberate compilation of the Greek name Astarte and the Hebrew word boshet, "shame," John does the same here combining the Hebrew word for Destruction..... with a False god............. the Greek god Apollo.

By The Time John penned Revelation the Pagans had already started trying to incorporate Jesus into the Pantheon of gods.

Look the reality is Baal is called by Name 64 times in the Bible. Elijah says we must choose between Baal and God. Isaiah says we will be the Witnesses that he not baal is the one true God. Apollo is the Greek equivalent of Baal. God of War and Destruction. John was writing this warning ie Revelation to the Greek Churches of Asia Minor. He simply used the name of the Local God of War and Destruction in a word play with the Hebrew word destruction. The Names Baal Apollo are only different because of Bable they are one in the same. They are the False god that taught mankind war and death.

That is why they are opposing Titles............. Jesus is the Prince of Peace.............. Baal is the God of War. Baal Taught Mankind to make weapons and war ........................Jesus will destroy all the armies of the world and make everyone destroy their weapons. One is Christ one is opposite of Christ Anti Christ. One is Savior the other is destroyer.

I hope this helps you understand.

Hi ewq

Wow you really just don't listen or read not sure which. In Greek there is no Word Apollyon. So no it does not mean destruction. It is a made up word. Just as Ashteroth is not a word in Hebrew it is a made up word.

The Word Clark uses is ὄλλῡμῐ it is destroy but it is not

Apollyon spelt Ἀπολλύων.
Apollo in English pronounced Apollon in Greek spelt Ἀπόλλων

You are just wrong the words are almost Identical just one letter different. The purpose of the one letter ( ῡ ) is it takes the sound from the word destroy (ὄλλῡμῐ)above and adds it into Apollon the greek god of destruction.

As I said there is no such word in Greek it is word play on a false god's name................. the name Apollyon (Ἀπόλλων)just as Ashteroth is a play on Astare.

You clearly do not understand what Strong's is. IT IS NOT A DICTIONARY.

It is a Concordance

Hi ewq

So now you are going to deny what Concordance means. Wow I give up. it is explaining how the Translators translated the word not what the word meant IE In Greek it does not exist in Greek only in Revelation.

Tell you what find me one text anywhere in Greek that uses the word outside of Revelation

Hi Eqw

Ya ok lol

Hi ewq

I understand how it works.

Now here is the actual Greek word destroyer

ὀλοθρεύω

Why Didn't he just use the actual Greek word for destroyer

Destroyer is a Verb not a Noun

You are just not getting what I am saying and even Strong says it.

Ἀπολλύων, -οντος, ὁ, (participle from ἀπολλύω), Apollyon (a proper name, formed by the author of the Apocalypse),

It is a Made up Word it is not a Greek Word. It is a Word John Made up Just like others made up Ashtoreth

Here is the Name of the goddess and the city where she was from.

12:4: And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,

Notice it is Ashtaroth which is the name of the city Where Astarte was goddess. Well that is the name the Hebrew gave to it. Now Notice WHO IS THERE the remnant of the Giants see Gen 6: and see Enoch. By the Way Astarte is the Wife of Baal and I say Baal is Azazel and Azazel was on of the Angels who took human wives and bore the giants. Wow what a coincidence.

2:3:And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth

Now look how they (Hebrew authors of Scripture) changed it to combine Astarte with the Hebrew word for shame Boshet to get Ashtoreth

11:3:Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father.

If you haven't gotten it by now perhaps it is not your time. Peace my Brother in Christ
