The Adversary In Action

Hey there, Justin.  Why do you think the saints/the Elect will be delivered up in Mark 13:9-11?

'Saint' = Holy Ones. 'Elect' does no mean too much anyway.

They were dealt with terribly especially by the Roman. Used as human torches; kids sold into sex slavery; whole families destroyed - and then later the RCC killed many  millions. Need I say more??

I wasn't aware there were people dedicated to making changes in fashion called influencers. The name makes sense. 

The influencers  don’t have to make  the changes. The ideas can be given to them to go show off to everyone and make it look cool. They often get paid for views/likes as incentive.

Anyone with many followers can be considered an influencer. 
 

Companies look for people with many followers to advertise through. In a sense the influencers are advertisers for new ways of thinking.

A company that makes whorish clothing gets a pretty lady with 300k followers to wear it. Pair it with the background of a luxury vehicle, expensive jewelry, or loads of cash now it seems appealing to look like this.

Then they often pair it with ungodly captions- for example “Yall thank god, I thank myself”, or “don’t need no man #girlsruletheworld”

Such wickedness.

In Scripture, and also in my neck of the woods examples of the Adversary at work are not hard to find.

As a teenager I suddenly awoke to strange noises around midnight and witnessed a Satan-worshipping coven of men and women doing a naked ritual dance around the large specimen oak tree adjacent to our church. We called the police but by time they responded the cult members had dispersed.

Mat 16:23  But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men."

Luk 22:3-6  Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve.  (4)  So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them.  (5)  And they were glad, and agreed to give him money.  (6)  So he promised and sought opportunity to betray Him to them in the absence of the multitude.

Act 5:1-3  But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession.  (2)  And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles' feet.  (3)  But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself?

Act 26:15-18  “I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.  (16)  But arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen, and of the things which I will reveal to you;  (17)  delivering you from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,  (18)  to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

1Th 2:18  Therefore we wanted to come to you—even I, Paul, time and again—but Satan hindered us.

1Th 3:5  For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor might be in vain.

. . . and other references.

I don't know how I missed this one. Thanks for sharing. I would say that's pretty specific for sure. Good bible examples too.

It seems they have their fingers into everything.

It is quite clear in the scriptures that Satan (hasatan et al) are not allowed to gather the nations together against Zion (aka: decieve the nations). That will happen at some time when the fulness or the Gentiles is apparent. Then will come the end in the Har'mo'ed battel for all the marbles at Zion on His Holy Hill.

So since there is deception presently, you must be crediting it to men.

Don't you think it's possible Satan has high ranking angels to do that kind of stuff?

No. Not at all. The adversary is PREVENTED by decree from the Most High from gathering the nations as he will do in the end. Otherwise, he pursues his horrible tasks pretty much unabated. The cross removed the 'god's of the nations' mandate to rule. St Paul made that very clear. He, Yeshua, disarmed them and put them to open shame. We have the tools if we care to use them.

I think it was a misunderstanding here. Of course I think they are capable and I think they are operating unless I'm shown otherwise.

Great thread

There is indeed a war going on and Satan is the very much real ‘General’ of the opposition as James was referred to because the Devil will flee doesn’t necessarily make him weak, But combine  the confusion he creates among even fellow believers to create doctrines of confusion and the absence of teaching from spiritual leaders who embrace the prosperity gospel, to neglect teaching of FEARING THE LORD.. 

Fear the LORD Is taught all through Scripture but when is the last time you heard this taught? 
I only say this as an intro to a video concerning this spiritual warfare by Wesblaze, he has a unique presentation using biblical truth and visual presentations

 

“CALL TO DUTY” | FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT #1. Youtube

 

I think it will indeed show that the fight is real that the devil and his minions are indeed still trying to create a gap between us and our father ( by any means necessary) 

And emphasizes FEAR OF THE LORD being the tip of the spear in our fight

How many have the ery feeling that the devils chief minion is here and hard at work right now. A man who is not moved by any compassion or hear the cry's of his own people. A man who's motivated only by his own ambitions and judgments which are very broad and reaching.

I see the adversary working through organizations pretending to be here for the public good when they have agendas that are destructive to freedom and peace.
