Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Then he turned from the loyal and true angels, denouncing them as slaves. He told them that himself and they also had now gone too far to go back, that God would not forgive. And now they must assert their liberty and gain by force the position and authority which was not willingly accorded to them. He claimed that angels needed no law; but should be left free to follow their own will, which would ever guide them right; that law was a restriction of their liberty.
These are some of the reasons why in the book of Revelation, John saw the accuser of the brethren at his old job, carrying on the work that was begun in heaven, and now being witnessed on a wider stage on planet earth. It’s not really about the human agent. What we are witnessing are the droppings of those termites we spoke about earlier, the natural byproducts of the prince of darkness, as he ramps up his diabolical work in the final days of earth’s history.
[4] Deception. Wherever you see deception running rampant, as a part of the daily fabric of life; wherever there are constant efforts to mislead, misinform, twist facts, and subjugate the truth, you could be assured that the prince of darkness is increasing his activities and his presence.
2nd Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
