02/25/19 DRAGON SLAYER, NOT DOOMSAYER
My message is not that of a
DOOMSAYER,
but the message of a
DRAGON SLAYER.
The Dragon is the devil
The initial "throw-down" of the devil was when he (as the prince of angels, Lucifer) rebelled against God, and God threw him down to the earth, causing the pre-Adamic earth to become a chaotic, formless, empty, lifeless, dark world. Satan would go on to be, the god of this world, the prince of the power of the air, the accuser of the brethren, the adversary, liar, murderer, deceiver.
Satan has been defeated many times, throughout history, by human beings, through faith in the living God of the Holy Bible.
Satan was ultimately defeated through the sacrificial death and physical resurrection of Jesus.
Christians defeat Satan through faith in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.
After Satan has been given time to unleash his fury on the world, during the seven years of Tribulation, he will be bound in hell for 1000 years, as Christ rules on earth from Jerusalem.
After the 1000 year reign of Christ. Satan will be released from his prison., and he will mislead millions in a failed final rebellion against God.
At that time, Satan will be cast into the Lake of Fire, forever.
Here are a few verses which refer to Satan as a Dragon.
Psalms 91:13
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Isaiah 27:1
1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
Revelation 20:1-3
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
