This is a teaching, for all the ones who teach in the name of the Lord here, but will they appreciate anything that is taught to them ?
Abraham received the promises from God for us all, God blessed Abraham and God was blessed, ass it is significant that God here, delivered Abraham's enemies into his hands...
Genesis 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
Melchisedec, made perfection in the change of the law ( the law for us) and that High Priest became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners..
Hebrews 7:11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
Hebrews 7:26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
That same thought and blessing, is told in 1 Samuel, how by strength no man prevails ( our enemies prevail not, man is saved by the Lord the Lord again as with Abraham's blessing, out of Heaven the Lord breaks the adversaries to pieces..
1 Samuel 2:9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
10 The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
Back onto the Abraham account ( as that is the same promises for life that we are given)
We are saved from our enemies ( as Abraham was delivered) from all that hate us ( the devil and his wicked) and when we are delivered out of their hands, we serve God without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him.
Giving the knowledge for salvation and the remission of sins, is that knowledge ( out of darkness to light) guiding us to the way of peace when we see.
No fear is when our enemies are defeated by God for us, to be made perfect in love ( in righteousness and holiness before Him)..
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
Luke 1:71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
Luke 1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
All the life of man, we needed to be delivered from the fear of death ( this is our enemy) but as told above, we being delivered from that enemy, then serve God without this fear. This is our enemy the devil destroyed, which kept us from holiness, righteousness and perfect love of God in us..
Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
1 Corinthians 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
The power of the enemy, then no longer hurts the man that believes, and the enemy that sowed his own wicked ones, is the devil, to be our adversaries..
Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Matthew 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Matthew 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
This is why it is so much irony, the devils wicked servants, are so subtle, and their only interest is being that enemy of all righteousness, only in mischief, to fight against all the righteousness of Christ, by being teachers of unrighteousness ( subtily)..
Acts 13:10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
Then, who is our adversary, that seeks to deliver us to death, and that prison of death ? It cant be anyone else but our enemy the devil, and it is the devil, and anyone it is in, who speaks reproachfully of the Lord...
Matthew 5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
1 Timothy 5:14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
Look and see the description of the devil, our adversary, as a lion, seeking to devour the ones in the faith of Christ.
The wicked, bless the covetous, who the Lord hates.
This wicked one, puffs at all his enemies ( the Christian is his enemy to destroy the faith)
His tongue is mischief and vanity is that mischief ( so we do not be doers but hearers only)
He lies in wait, as that lion, against the innocent, the poor ( in spirit) he humbles himself to catch you by his strong ( deceiving) ones..
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Psalm 10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
Sin is what they discuss and allow, you wont see any enemy of righteousness against all unrighteousness, as these are the adversaries which shall be devoured, the friends of the wold that are the enemies of God..
Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
All know out of the mouth of babes God perfected praise. But now we also know, this is what stops the enemy ( of us and of God)
Gods hand, through Christ, found out all His enemies ( remember they hated Him without a cause) then Christ destroys them from the earth, their seed among men gone (remember the enemy that sowed his wicked seed is the devil destroyed) because they intended to destroy Christ, but were unable to perform as He cannot be held in death( but that death destroyed the devil and his seed from among us)..
Psalm 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
Psalm 21:7 For the king trusteth in the Lord, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
Psalm 40:14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
This is the many workers of inequity, Jesus witnessed, are not known by Him, only few are saved.
They are these false teachers, who speak peace, but mischief is all that is in their hearts..
Psalm 28:3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
Luke 13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
Luke 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
All there was, was none doing good, instead trusting in vanity, speaking lies as they through the devils all mischief, conceive mischief and bring forth that inqiuity.
That has not gone away, those times have come around again, now they speak great swelling words of vanity, only seeking advantage for themselves..
Romans 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Psalm 53:3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Isaiah 59:4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
Jude 1:16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. 2 Peter 2:18.
Remembering and so aware that it is the devil, that is all all mischief, we see how the counselors of Israel gave their devised m mischief, and then how the kings hearts as in Daniel 11, shall be for mischief, which is the devil and is also the leaders of this world deceiving all by their lies they speak ( false teachers of Christ to deceive the whole world, wolves among the flock)
Ezekiel 11:2 Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:
3 Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh.
Daniel 11:27 And both of 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.
Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
The counsellors took counsel against the Lord, ( they devise mischief) giving wicked counsel) and against His anointed 9 against Christ) and they took counsel together against Him, but the Son ( of God) was delivered from the hand of His ( and our) enemies, from those persecutors..
Psalm 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
Psalm 31:13 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
14 But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
Christ is delivered from the enemies ( not the enemies way of speaking of deliverance but by reigning in Heaven for us/ crucified in weakness but He and we living by the power of God then)
The adversaries are then separated, they are the merciless, they are the disputers, they are of their father the devil, all the enemy together, who resist, persecute, and blaspheme the name of God..
Psalm 69:18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
John 8:49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
The enemy does not reproach forever, blaspheming Gods Holy name, but the devil in all the world now, blasphemes against God, until the enemies are made as the footstool, and Christ ruled among the enemies, victorious over them triumphing over them openly, which disappoints the adversary and leaves them a short time to make war against the victory of Christ, the enemy still trying to make us have the sting of sin ( in the law broken/weak) and death....
Psalm 74:10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
Psalm 110: 1 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
2 The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

1 Corinthians 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Christ came out of Bethlehem, even the enemy Herod found that out, the ruler came to Israel, and His hand lifted up against the enemies, and all were cut off( this is the war in Heaven where Michael prevails against the enemy that deceived the whole world)..
Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
Micah 5:9 Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
